HFW video: Watch me on Battlecam 2 (June 21, 2013)

I'm guessing its an ad by Marina. Why do I think this.. Key sentence: "You need to be tough and be able to take harsh criticism from Internet trolls and people who will try and break you.
" Marina and I took a lot of heat. She even cried one time because of trolls.

Yeah, I suspect HTW is dead. She fucked it up and there it sits. I think the only reason she has the site still up is to keep a record of what she did in the past.

She doesn't need a new job. She still gets paid from Google. It's got to be at least $4k -$6k per month. Even the website was taking in about $2k per month when she was getting over one million hits a month.

Why would one cry over comments, when the production was just an act? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_(Internet)#Origin_and_Etymology

Newsflash! The subject video of this topic has been removed. We should start capturing the videos as they are posted to overcome situations like this.

For example, the "Stairway Series," made when she first had her "troubles," was pulled. If it was not for YT author Sam K, this video, the last of the series, would have been lost forever:



Maybe he has more of them hidden away. Too bad he has YT contact blocked, else I would ask him. FOLLOW UP: This is the only one.

The average rainfall for Sacramento in June is 0.0 inches. Monday and Tuesday we were supposed to be bombarded by the remnants of some storm way out in the pacific. It was forecasted to break the old all-time record for this date of .81 inches, but all we got is .05 inches.

I walked around downtown Monday afternoon in the "downpour" and barely got damp, taking no more precaution than slipping a plastic shopping bag over the camera when not shooting. I was trying to recover NGS benchmark survey disks. The term recover means to find and report them, not steal them. www.peakbagging.com/Benchmark.htm

Many of the benchmarks in the area haven't been recovered since 2008. Anyone can report them via the NGS website and achieve immortality—if not outright fame and fortune. You can search for benchmarks in your area at this site: www.ngs.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/datasheet.prl.

I had been looking for one near our old, classical train station (401 I Street) from some mark on a Google Earth map, but was looking at the next building over and couldn't find it. (See the G.E. map by clicking Sacramento here: www.dot.ca.gov/hq/row/landsurveys/geodetic/ControlMaps/control_map.html. The sacr.kml file controls GE and feeds it with all the benchmark locations.) I went to the NGS data sheet and, with a description (vs. a map mark) in hand, found that it was actually ON the train station, mounted vertically.

The disk had some building paint slopped on it, but after rubbing some off using an old bottle top as a scratcher, it didn't look too bad. I want to get together a cleaning kit (brass wire and bristle brushes, picks, metal polish, filler paint stick for the engraved letters, etc.) to shine them up and really make them look spiffy.

Ain't she a beaut?


The disk doesn't appear round, because I had to shoot at slight angle due to the work of the city idiots fathers (see below).



The city idiots fathers installed a parking pay kiosk right in front of the benchmark, blocking access to anyone with surveying instruments. With the best GPS instruments, you can get to within 2 cm of the height, which is the horizontal line on the disk. Unfortunately, California itself moves up and down from time to time, so that all has to be taken into account by smarter people than me.

(Evidently, the man in blue is telling the cops all about a suspected terrorist with a camera, hoping to get the area cleared out so he can take the rest of the day off. I didn't stick around to see if the ploy worked.)

Filmon, Battlecam's owner, says nothing is going on at the studio at 301 N Canon in Beverly Hills and that it is "empty." Looking across Canon on Streetview, the buildings don't look as I remember the video showed, so that may not be the correct address. Too bad the video is gone or I could check it.

I wonder where the first use of battleaxe for a formidable matron occurred and when? We could ask she-who-ought-to-know-or-could-easily-look-it-up if she ever showed up.

Today it's going to be 106°, which is bearable if you aren't moving much, but it's not comfortable without air conditioning. I set out for downtown Sacto to look for some more NGS benchmarks, but first I wanted to stop in (or should I say around, since the libraries are all closed on the 4th) and pull up the datasheets for the benchmarks in the area. They have descriptions of the locations; the Google Earth map markers I have seen don't really help much, because they are too far off from the actual location.

I was outside the library front door and found a fire dept. guy waiting to get in. It seems they were here to open a cooling station (for anybody that was hot) in the Clunie Clubhouse ballroom. Ooohwah! Air conditioning and Wifi; what more could I ask? It was if someone had opened the library on a holiday. So I went back to the car and brought in my laptop and I was on! They will be open until 8 PM tonight. What luck!

As the county (or whomever was sponsoring it) poo-pooed the idea of setting up a big sign outside, so that anyone walking or driving by McKinley park would know the station even exists, I was the only one here besides the eight volunteers. Finally about four people stumbled in in the last hour and a half, so it has not been a overwhelming success. There are snacks and cold water and the a/c seems to be about 75°, so what more could one ask for?



Since they will be open until 8 PM (about sundown), perhaps I'll put off the marker hunt for another day.

Hail the america the great!

Leonard, you inestimable bum, you. You put up that link to James' site, but not one word of explanation, so I missed it.

Some readers will remember another Lonely Sheepses from the HFW site, namely one James Sharp. He has started a Website with the same purpose as this forum: hot4words.weebly.com, whose home page looks like this:



The SUBMIT button button on the banner menu can be used to send him a message.

There is a YT music video there (click HUSH-HUSH), wherein M has a non-speaking role as a sexy and skimpily-clad (what else?) driver of one of those ginormous Cat mining trucks. Then she gets down out of the truck, pretty as you please, showers (don't fail to watch that part!), and then drives off in a VW Beetle, probably in an attempt to save on fuel.

The commenting system is DISQUS, so your old login will work.

See, Leonard? How hard was that?

Hard to imagine that a loaded truck like that would slip. I suppose it depends on what the road is made of. Clay? Shale? Banana peels? BTW, having just seen a How Do They Do It on how the monstrous Caterpillar 787B is built, I noticed the model numbers on the two vidoes. M allegedly drove a 777D, where as the slipping truck is a 773E.

Huzzah! The DISQUS mention to EricOwen98428 worked and he is now is in contact. However, he is hesitant to join us. Something about an open warrant loss of enthusiasm for M.

The folks at Channel 2 in San Francisco got snookered:


Read the full article here: blog.sfgate.com/matierandross/2013/07/12/1937/. My burning question is who wrote the segment in the first place, a staff member or someone from the outside? I've never seen that answered.

Has anyone heard about the proposed HFW TV show mentioned here: vitnessrx.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Stunning-Women.pdf? The article certainly couldn't be referring to Battlecam, which should probably be named Battlecrap.

Leonard posted this at the HFW site: hotforwords.com/2013/04/03/word-of-the-day-is-agerasia-by-marina-orlova/#comment-207387. So what was wrong with the old site that couldn't be fixed with a little maintenance? Or will this just be another teasing flash in the pan?
