Re: Base Camp.......The team that isn't

little mermaid,

J'évite de chanter, la dernière fois, il y a eu des problèmes ...

Mais je pourrais parler en Japonais à Louloup, si je connaissais plus de mot que "aligato" ( ありがとう). Tank's.
Comme tu pourrais lui parler en Danois, il faudrait juste que je te montre les gestes, pour qu'il comprenne la traduction.

I avoid singing, the last time there were problems ...

But I could speak Japanese in Louloup, if I knew more word than "aligato" ( ありがとう). Tank's.
As you could talk to him in Danish, I'd just have to show you the gestures so that he understands the translation.

Vos lignes ne sont pas enterrées ? Qu'en France, elles le sont presque toutes maintenant. (Il reste des endroits où ce n'est pas possible) C'est un investissement, mais au niveau de la maintenance, il y a tout a y gagner. Et j'ai la chance, que la fibre optique arrive à 50m de chez moi, pour la poste. Pourtant j'habite à la campagne.

And I'm lucky, that optical fiber comes 50m from my home, for the post office. Yet I live in the countryside.

Re: Base Camp.......The team that isn't

Oh, you translate Japanese and Danish to Louloup with sign language, stefada
He must be just about the smartest dog in all of the world idea
blushing I would also be fined if I sang .... never do it if there are people - especially police - around

Good Morning Base Campers
We are the same crew at our present trek with MOT as yesterday.
I took a look at the stats for the challenges, Captain keithhenry has entered his team into for this month.
Strangely - to me - we lag behind team Andrax as a combined MOT team/Base Camp crew.
I also noticed that Crunchers4Life is doing very well in those same challenges.
Our present Captain keithhenry had a breakdown of the machine on which he runs the stats,
and he'll have to revive that machine or rewrite the directions so he can run the stats on another one.
There are many ways in which to avoid declaring a defeat laughing
I wish all of you visiting here a pleasant weekend

Yes! It's right there at the foot of the hill!
Pumps! biggrin
Well, they are harvested now some two weeks earlier than normal.
Worse with one particular lawn looking that way, which has worried my hairdresser to tears for weeks on end.
That of her dad's garden where she's getting married today.
No way could she be married on a yellow/brown lawn, and I have no doubt that she has made dad turn up the faucet.
As opposed to the USA we may have these yellow/brow lawns (except for wedding occasions).
We regard it immoral to water lawns ... wink

Re: Base Camp.......The team that isn't

Correct, the majority of our power grid and all of it in rural areas is above ground and to make it worse they do not remove all trees capable of falling on the lines. They're more concerned with the ones growing beneath them. As long as nothing is within 15 feet of the lines, they don't bother with it.

Re: Base Camp.......The team that isn't

Little Mermaid,

En fait, pour quasiment tout ce que je demande à Louloup, il y a un geste qui est associé. D'une part ça facilite son apprentissage, mais c'est aussi très pratique de pouvoir communiquer en silence (ou quand il y a trop de bruit). Et puis, à l'occasion je m'amuse à lui dire "fais le tour & assis", avec juste les deux gestes, et il fait le tour de tout le monde pour venir s’asseoir à mon pied. C'est très rigolo, surtout quand je lui ai demandé discrètement. (Souvent on me demande de le refaire, pour être sûr que ce n'est pas du bluff dancing )

Par exemple, pour lui apprendre à s'asseoir, au départ je faisais tout le temps ce geste en disant "assis". Une fois qu'il a assimilé, je ne faisais plus que l'un ou l'autre. Ensuite, je lui ai appris "sit" en faisant le même geste. Les sonorités sont proches, le même geste lui montre que c'est la même demande, en quelques jours il a appris le mot Anglais. Et maintenant on peut soit faire le geste, soit lui dire "assis" ou "sit". Si demain, tu lui dis assis en Danois, ou dans n'importe quelle langue, en faisant le geste, il va très vite comprendre que ce mot veut dire assis.

Comme il y a un geste pour quasiment tout, si on connaît ce 'langage des signes' entre lui et moi, peu importe la langue utilisée. Il va très vite comprendre, que tel nouveau mot correspond à telle demande. Bien sûr, il est plus à l'aise avec le Français, que c'est ma langue courante, mais il a l'habitude d'apprendre de nouveaux mots, que je lui parle souvent dans des langues étrangères. C'est avant tout un jeu, mais c'est aussi un moyen de le stimuler, qu'un Malinois à besoin de 'travailler' (se dépenser et réfléchir). Et il arrive même à comprendre quelques subtilités ! Par exemple, si je lui dis "Achtung" (Allemand), avec l'intonation, il sait que c'est "Attention", mais à un niveau supérieur, je commence à m'énerver. De même, si je dis "Andiamo" (Italien), il sait que c'est "vas-y", mais en mode cool, on est détendu.

Donc je pense qu'il n'aurait aucun mal à apprendre le Danois, ou le Japonais, ou n'importe quelle langue (Il y arrive mieux que moi).
----------
In fact, for almost everything I ask Louloup, there is a gesture that is associated. On the one hand, it makes learning easier, but it is also very convenient to be able to communicate in silence (or when there is too much noise). And then, on occasion I am amused to say to him "go around & sit", with just the two gestures, and he goes around everyone to sit at my feet. It's very funny, especially when I asked him discreetly. (I'm often asked to do it again, to be sure it's not bluffing dancing )

For example, to teach him to sit down, at the beginning I was doing this gesture all the time saying "assis". Once he assimilated, I was doing only one or the other. Then I taught him "sit" by doing the same thing. The sounds are close, the same gesture shows him that it is the same request, in a few days he learned the English word. And now we can either make the gesture, or say "assis" or "sit". If tomorrow you say to him sitting in Danish, or in any language, making the gesture, he will very quickly understand that this word means sitting.

As there is a gesture for almost everything, if we know this 'sign language' between him and me, no matter what language is used. He will very quickly understand that such a new word corresponds to such a request. Of course, he is more at ease with French, than it is my usual language, but he is used to learning new words, which I often speak to him in foreign languages. It is primarily a game, but it is also a way to stimulate it, a Malinois needs to 'work' (to spend and think). And he even manages to understand some subtleties! For example, if I say "Achtung" (German), with the intonation, he knows that it is "Attention", but at a higher level, I start to get upset. Similarly, if I say "Andiamo" (Italian), he knows it's "go", but in cool mode, we're relaxed.

So I think he would have no trouble learning Danish, or Japanese, or any language (He does it better than me).

cool

acpartsman,

C'est vraiment dommage pour vous ! Mais la mise en œuvre d'un réseau souterrain, ça coûte très cher ! (En investissement. C'est rentable vu le peu de panne) Je sais qu'en France ça n'a été possible, que parce qu'on avait EDF (Electricité de France) qui était une entreprise nationale. Et il a fallut environ une décennie pour enterrer toutes les lignes principales. Avec un pays de la taille des USA, je n'ose pas imaginer le budget que ça peut représenter. Quand je vois que dans un 'petit' pays comme la France, il y a des villages qui n'ont l'ADSL que depuis 3/4 ans? Chez vous, où tout est tellement grand ...
----------
It's really a shame for you! But the implementation of an underground network, it is very expensive! (In investment, it is profitable given the little breakdown) I know that in France it was possible, only because we had EDF (Electricity of France) which was a national company. And it took about a decade to bury all the main lines. With a country the size of the USA, I do not dare to imagine the budget that it can represent. When I see that in a 'small' country like France, there are villages that have ADSL only for 3/4 years? At your home, where everything is so big ...

Dommage que je ne sache pas traduire cette chanson. Vous comprendriez tout de suite ce que c'est d'être Breton.

Too bad I can not translate this song. You would understand immediately what it is to be Breton.
