Friends: (Reposting in order to avoid being Googlized (Thanks, Dan)

As Jeff Probst says at "Tribal Council" on the American TV program Survivor,
"It's time to vote."

I hope this gets through properly on the Google Groups discussion page
inasmuch as I, an e-mail user, have run afoul of Google's outthink
mentality. Please let me know if there's a problem.

We have 19 deucedly clever definitions provided by our creative participants
and one from a stodgy old dictionary.

You will note that some of the definitions might appear to be similar. As
dealer-czar, however, I determined them to have significant differences.

Please vote for two via a message - either by reply to this missive or to
dixonary (AT) googlegroups (DOT) com

The deadline is 1500 hours UTC (such as is found in Dorking, England) on 11
March 2011. That is, or should be the same as 0700 hours in Boring, Oregon
(PST), 0800 hours in Two Dot, Montana (MST), 0900 hours in Dripping Springs,
Texas (CST) or Cheesequake, New Jersey (EST). (All on 11 March, 2011). I
think that also is at 0100 hours on 12 March in Eastern Australia, such as
Wagga Wagga, NSW.

For a full list of offsets from UTC, see. www.wikipedia.com/timezones

1. a yellow crocus

2. violent wind squall

3. a light taffeta fabric

4. a pale, sandy yellow color

5. a filmy crust on old port wine

6. the lesser burdock _arctium minor_

7. a very thin paper often used as a light filter

8. a tiny amount; a scarcely detectable length or distance

9. a traditional design element used in ornamental tattoos

10. a short cape, covering only the shoulders and upper arms

11. the molding between the corona and frieze of an entablature.

12. a transparent celluloid material formerly used for watch crystals

13. an irregular pattern traced by a pendulum or other free-swinging device

14. in dressmaking, a type of fastening consisting of two overlapping flaps

15. a variety of edible mushroom characterized by a fragile, lace-like
undercap

16. southern European plant commonly cultivated for its spikes of small
yellowish-black flowers

17. (aeronautics) - an experimental transparent wing design for micro-spy
aircraft developed by NASA engineers.

18. an exceptionally fine silk made from fibers less than 10 microns in
diameter and used in the manufacture of lingerie.

19. a decorative technique in glass-making, in which a design is applied to
a glass object by dribbling molten glass onto it.

20. a type of very fine silk lace, also known as "wedding ring lace" from
its use for a bridal shawl which traditionally could be pulled through a
wedding ring.

I would love for it to mean 8. I would even start using it in everyday
speech if it did.

I would also love for it to mean 18, although I would likely not use that
variant in everyday speech.

Sorry to be persnickety, but is this your final answer ... or a bare

That's my vote. Typically in this game if people list only two definition
numbers, that's their vote. Some other players are usually more clearn and
include their voted-for definitions as a quoteback, but I'm lazy I guess.

I voted the first time I saw the list. I think that's okay. E-mail users
will see it, and Steve uses e-mail and he's the one keeping score.
Steve, I also fixed the deadline for one of your time zones.

Steve,

I should mention a propos to your comment that one of the functions of the Cory dealing software is to keep track of the players names and various email addresses. Things aren’t so bad now but at one time we had players with multiple email addresses who used different addresses to submit defs and then to vote so it was confusing. Cory keeps it’s own database of players and email addresses and links those that represent the same person. That way it can keep straight on who is doing what as well as keep the score tally correct. It’s one of those chores that Cory automates very nicely.

Chris

Steve Graham
March 11th, 2011, 01:37 PM
Thanks, Chris



After reading the messages about the troubles people had with Cory and particularly regarding 64-bit Windows 7 and that I unfortunately won the deal with limited time between international trips, I chose to go with things that I know, i.e. MS Access and Excel.

Steve,



I should mention a propos to your comment that one of the functions of the Cory dealing software is to keep track of the players names and various email addresses. Things aren’t so bad now but at one time we had players with multiple email addresses who used different addresses to submit defs and then to vote so it was confusing. Cory keeps it’s own database of players and email addresses and links those that represent the same person. That way it can keep straight on who is doing what as well as keep the score tally correct. It’s one of those chores that Cory automates very nicely.

Not a bad plan since trying to roll out new software in the middle of a deal can be a real nightmare. I’ll just add that I’m running Windows 7 64 bit and don’t have any problems at all with Cory and don’t recall having much hassle getting it running when I upgraded the OS. Of course I’m using Win 7(64) on a platform designed for 64 bit Windows 7. A number of the issues I’ve seen with Windows 7 in general and the 64 bit version in particular seem to pop up on machines being upgraded from Vista or XP and which may lack full hardware compatibility. Now that your deal is over, you might want to see how it goes and be ready next time.
