Meeka: also Doug could use a trim if we have time and you bring sissors :-) :-) :-) Guy Eph.: trying to narrow it down on google earth, are you next to fukuoka?

BobS: sure she does BobS: she and Jack bought us wine various convention dinners rich-c: it's a Japanese postal code, Pam Pamela at last!: you can if you want to Bob Dale: Daniel: I haven't made any progress on it recently. Daniel Bienvenu: @Pam : at my job, they still don't know if I can have the vacancies I asked for to be with you in june. BobS: Ok then i can feel a part of the whole idea rich-c: OK - then we have enough of a crowd who do to give Pam a planning option for outings Dale: I suppose I promised to finsh it before the conference. Pamela at last!: Dale, just how phobic is Jillian about butterflies? rich-c: apparently Wine Spectator just ran a feature on the only world-level wine region within a day's drive of their New York office - Niagara Pamela at last!: outing - oh yes, one more thing I must get going on Dale: I haven't heard that Jillian is phobic of butterflies. Just most other bugs. Pamela at last!: note to self: GET ORGANIZED! Daniel Bienvenu: I didn't say my last word yet. they will give me the vacancies I want. Pamela at last!: so, the butterfly conservatory is okay to consider as an outing? rich-c: les vacances = vacation en anglais, Daniel Judy: sounds great to me!!! rich-c: oh, the Consrvatory is absolutely super cool Dale: It has the Jillian stamp of approval Pamela at last!: very good - I was worried about that 699-1831: the butterfly conservatory is quite neat Daniel Bienvenu: well, at least you all understand. :-) 699-1831: took a group of my students there a few years ago rich-c: just be aware they may choose to light on you Pamela at last!: James, how many times have you been there? Dale: I went to one on Vancouver Island after AdamCon 15, and had the best time. 699-1831: the conservatory? only once Daniel Bienvenu: so, I asked a period vacations including june 18 699-1831: wanted to take the group i had this year but they were too knackered Daniel Bienvenu: 18+adamon... and monday 23. Pamela at last!: sounds good Daniel rich-c: that will cover it, Daniel - how will you get there? Daniel Bienvenu: guess what... june 24 is a day off too. :) Pamela at last!: and your birthday is when Daniel? Daniel Bienvenu: 18 Dale: Is that a holiday? Pamela at last!: is that Bastille Day? Daniel Bienvenu: A special day for Quebec is June 24. rich-c: yes, St. Jean Baptiste day, and a big one with your quadricentennial Pamela at last!: sorry Baptiste - i got confused rich-c: Bastille Day is France, not Quebec Daniel Bienvenu: it's like the 1st july for Canada and 4th july for usa. Pamela at last!: I know : ( Pamela at last!: give me a break, I've been at it since 6:00 am Pamela at last!: so Dad, I have an assignment for you 699-1831: sheesh, pam! don't you know *anything*? ;) rich-c: isn't that a little early for you, Pam? Daniel Bienvenu: 4 days of vacations + weekend + Quebec's special day... it's a week. Pamela at last!: I know lotsa things - they're just all jumbled up in there Pamela at last!: not these days Dad rich-c: right, you're taking the GO train and it runs early Pamela at last!: pretty good deal, Daniel Daniel Bienvenu: I hope Neil still agree to allow me to join him first to travel with him to the convention. Judy: sounds like Bob's world Pamela at last!: well at least I'm not in Erin's shoes - she worked a week of 6:30 - 2:30 last week rich-c: yes, with the kids I don't think Guy would have room Judy: this summer Bob will start 8-8 rich-c: yes, they changed the time of question period, so she had to get her prrep done early Daniel Bienvenu: I will travel by bus like last time. Pamela at last!: making houses while the sun's up? Judy: that is about it Dale: I think that'll be fine Daniel. rich-c: I gather train service from Quebec City isn't an option? Pamela at last!: bus to Ottawa and then the rest of the way by car with Neil? sounds like a good deal, Daniel Judy: when he started with Habitat they were working the 8-8 Pamela at last!: probably too expensive Dad
Pamela at last! changed username to Pamela Daniel Bienvenu: train is too expensive Guy B.: Pam, just brought up the form. You still cannot save it, so this still would not work rich-c: anyway have you found the info you needed about the T-shiorts, Pam? Daniel Bienvenu: train is faster, yes... but bus is economic Pamela: so Dad, I need to research the days and hours of operation for the Butterfly conservatory for me, as well as the admission fees for seniors, adults and children 699-1831: really dan? Pamela: You can't save the form itself Guy, but you can save the fillable portions - that's what you send to me rich-c: OK I will make a note - IIRC it isn't expensive but then we do pay senior prices Guy B.: Pam, what would the cost be in US$? Pamela: just follow the instructions exactly 699-1831: when i was doing bookings for our group to get from toronto to ottawa, the train was faster and cheaper Guy B.: Ok, will do Dale: The train is enough nicer to travel on, that I'm usually willing to pay the extra 30%. Dale: brb Pamela: I'm with you Dale, travelling by train is far superior Pamela: same as Canadian Guy, $400.00 699-1831: if you book through via's website it can actually be cheaper too 699-1831: dan, you're trying to get from qc to toronto? Pamela: Dad, re t-shirts, no I don't have the info yet Guy B.: That cannot be right. Last I checked, it would be below $400 Pamela: the dollars are about par at the moment Guy rich-c: Guy, teh price is $400 Canaidan, which with exchange is over $400 US - Pam has a way around that 699-1831: yeah, when you factor in bank charges, no one gets a premium going either way Guy B.: I know it's been fluctuating lately Daniel Bienvenu: I calculated and train is more than 50% more than bus. 699-1831: dan, from where to where? rich-c: we dodge the charges by having me buy the cheques from Pamela for my US dollar account - lets me top it up without paying commission 699-1831: nice Pamela: and hence, why US dollar cheques should be made out to Richard Clee : ) Pamela: Quebec City to St. Catharines, Ontario, James rich-c: james, he'd be best coming to Toronto and taking the bus to St. Catharines Pamela: Guy B, any decisions as to whether you're going to drive? Guy B.: Ok, this would be more than the US counterparts, so at least I can use a check in US dollars Daniel Bienvenu: ok... now i understand... hello james, I didn't catch it was you, a phone number it's special for a username rich-c: as you know it's only a 90 minute ride and teh bus terminal is across from Uniion Station now Pamela: actually no it's not Dad Guy B.: Right now, lt looks like I will drive. I'm going to have the car checked and any work done if needed Pamela: the bus terminal is up at Bay and Dundas rich-c: I thought they had made teh change allready? Pamela: only GO buses go into Union Pamela: Greyhound etc goes into the terminal at Dundas Pamela: and that's quite a hike from Union rich-c: it's supposed to move down to Bay and Front opposite the eat side of Union Station 699-1831: yeah, you don't wanna do that 699-1831: especially if you're carrying stuff Pamela: uh uh, nope 699-1831: so anything you'd save by taking the bus, you'll be shelling out for a cab anyway rich-c: and the Bay bus up is no joy either Pamela: well if Daniel can hitch a ride with Neil from Ottawa it's a moot point anyway rich-c: that it is - and Neil could likely use some help with the gas cost Pamela: besides, I don't want Daniel wandering around in a city he's not familiar with, and doesn't speak the language of very well Daniel Bienvenu: exact Pamela: by the way Dale, I haven't heard from Neil - I'm assuming he's coming for the whole thing? rich-c: oh, swhen it comes to Toronto English, Daniel is likely better prepared than most Pamela: Daniel, have you been in touch with Neil about this? rich-c: in fact, Daniel's English is quite good, if we could only convince him of the fact Pamela: it's certainly better than my French : ) Daniel Bienvenu: we talked only once about this... months ago... I didn't talk again with Neil. Daniel Bienvenu: you make me practice my english... it helps a lot rich-c: might be prudent to do so - his plans may have change Pamela: your english is far better than our french Daniel, with the exception of Dale and James, and possibly Ron Pamela: oh, and Guy F of course Pamela: so we shall have to practice our French on you : ) rich-c: yes, Guy's French is quite good, almost colloquial, in fact ; - ) 699-1831: breakfast time, and rather late at that Pamela: he's totally bilingual 699-1831: i'll lurk and be back shortly Pamela: have some bacon for me James : ) rich-c: pity we won't have you among us, james - in Niagara as you know the lingua franca is Japanese 8-) Daniel Bienvenu: one egg for me 699-1831: personally, i'm much more comfortable in japanese now but as i found out in march, i can still get by in french well enough 699-1831: lol 699-1831: i'll be back shortly Pamela: 'kay Daniel Bienvenu: james is then... quadrilingual? rich-c: Pam, the emoticon ; - ) can indicate also "tongue in cheek" Pamela: really ; ) rich-c: English, Franch, Italian, Japanese at least - what else I don't know Pamela: possibly some Mandarin Chinese IIRC and possibly some Russian too Pamela: we shall have to ask him Pamela: by the way Dad, I had a coughing fit I laughed so hard at those Chinese / English translations Pamela: tell Mom please Pamela: oh, and did you find my chutney? rich-c: yes - my cursor crony in Phoenix was quite bemused to hear a guy on his break ask his buddies "when is the cinquo de mayo, anyway?" Daniel Bienvenu: I learn one thing in... I don't remember the language name... it's "ahoy" means "hello" (or maybe goodmorning, I have to check again). It's not russian, it's close too geographicaly. rich-c: Pam, we got so wound up in other stuff this morning I forgot to take teh note with me - mea culpa - sorry! Pamela: well, if you don't speak the lingo . . . : ) Pamela: it's alright - I found it at Loblaws but is $4.99 so if you can do better at No Frills let me know please rich-c: yes, but this was in Phoenix, where "everyone" has some familiarity with Spanish rich-c: OK, though we won't be shopping again till next week, of course Pamela: s'alright, it's not like I can't use more than one jar rich-c: time I fetched my beer - BRB Daniel Bienvenu: Wich language is used in Czech Republic? Pamela: Czech, I believe : ) Pamela: Judy, what happened with the meeting at Ryan's school? Daniel Bienvenu: Ahoy! Ymenuyu se <your name>. That's it you present yourself in Czech. Judy: they say they will work with him with a social worker rich-c: That's one of the rarer languages in Toronto, Daniel Pamela: what are the issues? Judy: working on a check system to give some possitive feedback Judy: he likes to talk I guess and wiggles 699-1831: back Pamela: and he's how old? Five? Judy: he doesn't sit like a first grader Judy: 7 rich-c: Now Cantonese or Mardarin or Punjabi or Urdu or Hindi or Swahili, that's different Pamela: boy they don't want much do they BobS: and just HOW does a 1st grader sit ? Judy: I think they are expecting too much but what do I know 699-1831: in my experience, a first grader can sit really well for .. 15-20 seconds Pamela: I'm with you on this BobS: exactly 699-1831: hell, i have 8th graders that can barely sit that long rich-c: sounds about right to me, james Judy: he has a morning and differen t afternoon teacher and they don't work together Daniel Bienvenu: James, I can't remember how many languages you already know... and logo doesn't count. Judy: most of the class is having trouble Pamela: gee Judy, you've just raised your kids and are into the next generation - what could you possibly know about it : ( Judy: very true 699-1831: kids just aren't meant to sit still. it's something i constantly have to remind myself of, especially when i'm having a "short" day rich-c: I do think a fairly serious parent-teacher interview is in order Pamela: and their ability to make lessons interesting doesn't factor in at all, right? Sheesh. Judy: went to pick him up this afternoon and he was really upset, you would think they would be trying to help the little guy but they just keep putting him down 699-1831: well dan, depends what you mean by "know". if you mean carry on a conversation then i'm fluent in three and do ok in limited simple italian 699-1831: if you want to add languages for which i've done a year or more of study, then add russian, spanish and chinese, but i can't claim to "speak" those Pamela: I'm with Dad - seems like there are some teachers who need an attitude adjustment 699-1831: though i remember their syntax well enough Judy: that would be great if they both would 699-1831: as a teacher, i can attest, it's hard to be patient at times and some kids are.. problematic 699-1831: but you just have to let stuff ride at times 699-1831: or you'll go insane rich-c: you could probably recognize enough of the words to get the drift of what a piece of simple writing was about Pamela: yes James, but you have a right to expect more from your grade 8's 699-1831: lol, they're doing ok Pamela: these kids are six and seven years old 699-1831: spacy, as jhs students tend to be at times Judy: they have this card system and if you have to turn more than three in a day you miss out on Fun Friday 699-1831: but doing well. all girls though. man.. the only time they're quiet is when i actually want them to say something 699-1831: @judy, i wouldn't agree with a system like that Judy: so last week we picked him up early and will be doing the same this week Pamela: James what you have to do is get them to gossip in English : ) 699-1831: it's not for a lack of trying rich-c: I think you may end up having a talk with the principal Judy: if you miss fun Friday you have to go to another room and write lines 699-1831: hmm.. too much stick 699-1831: not enough carrot BobS: yup 699-1831: sounds like you're dealing with a teacher whose style is "authoritarian" rich-c: what sort of qualifications are these people supposed to have, Judy? Pamela: I"m thinking it's time to find him another school Judy 699-1831: aka old school nun Judy: we have 5 more weeks and school is done for the year 699-1831: a teacher should be "authoritave" at least in my view Pamela: don't these people know anything???? Judy: this is a charter school 699-1831: knowledgeable about what they're teaching, maintains a disciplined balance without having to come down hard 699-1831: it's a difficult balance rich-c: well, they sure don't know from kids! Pamela: I don't have kids and even I know better Judy: it just seems out of balance rich-c: oh well, charter schools - let's say it's not a place I'd sed a kid Pamela: you should pardon the expression, but "ya think???" 699-1831: if you want to keep kids engaged, you also need child centered activities 699-1831: sounds like you've got a teacher who talks too much, bores the kids and then wonders why they get listless and can't handle it rich-c: I'd get very curious as to what teacher traning she has had - if any Judy: I think he is bored not enough to do, when you are flying airplanes in class, there is a problem Pamela: is switching teachers for a.m. and p.m. the norm in the MI elementary school system? 699-1831: experience and temperament are also key factors rich-c: I suspect there are also teacher supervision and collegiality issues at that school 699-1831: i have no formal training. i'm sure i could benefit from some, but i do ok Judy: no, and they will not be doing it again next year Daniel Bienvenu: I don't know for you, but it's getting late and I think I will fall asleep in a few minutes. Judy: no communication between the two Pamela: no sleeping on the keyboard, Daniel Judy: night Daniel rich-c: you've had a hard day, Daniel - glad you could hang in so long Daniel Bienvenu: bonne nuit! (goodnight) Guy B.: Night Daniel 699-1831: night daniel Daniel Bienvenu: à la prochain! (see ya) Pamela: bonne nuit, Daniel rich-c: bonsoir, Daniel Pamela: Bob, while I think of it, please toss the rolls of raffle tickets into your "Adamcon" box rich-c: Judy, what is wrong with the Michigan public system that you do not send him there? Judy: we will do that, Pam Pamela: Did anyone remind Ron to shop for the MMA prize? Judy: the charter school is closer and they have a very good reputation 699-1831: oh, i have a favour to ask Pamela: ask away James rich-c: go for it, james 699-1831: i still have a box of diskettes, sent to me by david cobley 699-1831: i can't read them 699-1831: my mi drive died rich-c: and they are 320s? 699-1831: and my pc drive using the adam utils can't make heads or tails of them 699-1831: i think they may be but i'm not sure 699-1831: either way i want to toss them - if they're good, i'd like to make images 699-1831: then toss 699-1831: if they're dead, then fine, i'll just toss 'em 699-1831: i've been clearing junk out of here BobS: got s 1.2 drive? Pamela: must be spring time - that's going around 699-1831: yeah 699-1831: i tried picking up a low density drive to fit into my mi controller 699-1831: to no avail BobS: can you use it to read the Cobley disks???? read an ibm 360 first, then let it sink it's teeth into the ADAM 320's 699-1831: i've been reluctant to toss the mi controller 699-1831: but i can't get anything to work on it and it's just sitting there taking up space rich-c: most of the 1.2 drives will actually read, write and format at low density, too - though not all BobS: but I have found, ONLY AFTER reading a 360k disk 699-1831: i don't want to toss the disks if there is stuff on them that hasn't been archived 699-1831: @bob, interesting 699-1831: assuming they're not dead rich-c: if thedy're readable on an Adam, any of us could do it - but that means two way transPacific shipping BobS: media mail one way...slow boat via china 699-1831: yeah, plus the risk of damage 699-1831: which is why i was hoping to do it here. should have tried when i first got the mi drive 699-1831: years ago rich-c: is there a possibility you could block copy them to a 3.5" disc then use the Adam utilities to read that? 699-1831: using what? rich-c: is there a chance DC sent you any standard Adam stuff on which we mkght have originals? BobS: got adam-dos.com from Chris Brayman? 699-1831: @bob, i don't think so, i should check that out 699-1831: @rich, yeah, i suppose the smart thing to do would be to make a list of what i have 699-1831: if it's already been archived / had images made, then i can safely toss it rich-c: well, if you know what's supposed to be on them, if they're commonplace we likely have our own copies 699-1831: good plan 699-1831: at least i can likely cull them a bit 699-1831: anyone up for nailing a few down now? rich-c: like if he sent you SmartBASIC, we can find a new copy ; - ) 699-1831: ANN 9202 Pamela: while you're doing that I'm going to go and pack my lunch rich-c: if you can gie us a hint we can give top of the head answers 699-1831: ANN 9409 rich-c: Bob, you should have that - also as an IBM downloadable, right?
