• After seeing this Facebook video, I sent a plea to the old HFW gang on my mailing list to post comments there encouraging her to start up again. Let's keep our fingers crossed. • Have you ever seen any woman is so improved by just a bit of makeup as M is? Of course the wrong kind of makeup can do a lot of damage: Without any doubt, the left pix is the best one of her I have seen and the right one the worst.

• The index of M's Facebook clips is completed. They all seem to be snippets of about 15 seconds or less in length, so don't expect much. I don't know know what a standard FB video length is (if there is such a thing). Maybe it is just a rule of thumb on FB due to the short attention span of today's generation. • M has returned the channel name of the main channel ("UCq") from "Ask Nutrition Nerd" of Nov. 19th back to the normal "Marina Orlova." Perhaps she has given up transforming the channel into a nutrition-based theme.

M's new hubby (I assume) has at last deigned to be photographed:

• Today I see that M's main channel name has been changed once again, from "Marina Orlova" to "Hot For Nutrition". I don't think she understands her audience.
• I discovered an old, really nice video of M and the ever faithful Charles T. Como explaining the origins of HFW:
You know, if you look at her hubby's pix above and Como's, they have a lot of facial similarity. I guess that is the type she goes for. (I wonder what Como did to blow it.)
• The addition of the above video "broke the back" of the Video Index OP; it exceeded the allowable 262K characters of a message and wouldn't post. So I have broken the main index into two halves: 2007 - 2009 and 2020 - Present. At the rate M is now making videos, that should last until the pyramids fall down.

Hi, Leonard. It was getting kind of echoey in here.
M made that FB clip asking about whether she should do words again, but Evan Owens said, "She's teasing," and he's probably right. She's in fat city right now and enjoying it.

Today, M's FB page has a new masthead graphics. But the odd thing is that there are only two Timeline events for 2015, all the rest being for 2014 and earlier. And the Photo and Video tabs show there are none. Something got screwed up during the change.

M is back after an absence of 7 days, but the problems mentioned in my previous post still exist. I sent FB msgs, but I don't know if she reads them.

It seems M has deleted her FB post of the 10th, leaving the post of the 3rd. as the latest. What on earth is she doing?

Hallo everybody peeps! Well nice to see some familiar faces here and at least I don't have to let my imagination run as wild as it does sometimes. I don't 'do' Facebook much and so I loathe to use that as a method to communicate any free thoughts or feelings. Call me paranoid but if you knew as much as I do well lets just say Snowden was not a total shock to me and I feel sure I am one of those users that gets flagged everywhere they go. Still a forum is a forum and so props to you CampKohler nice to be able to find out what is going on with our dear Marina. Y'all keep it up and I will lurk until my perspective is needed.

Hi, Verintuda. Sorry I haven't replied before this. Things have been slow here. I, too, am not a FB fan, but it seemed the only place to find out what was happening to M without descending into the depths of Twitterdom.
It has even been slow with M, who was regularly posting on FB:
• 2014 - 2015: Regular posts on FB, with videos and pix, including her marriage (which was not even mentioned on the HFW site). • Feb 3, 2015: All FB material after Nov 10, delted, including all scenic pix and videos (and remains gone to this day). (If you look at the FB portion of the Video Index, you can see that this was quite a bit of material.) • Feb 3, 2015: A new FB post. • Feb 10, 2015: A new FB post. • The Feb 10, 2015 post is deleted, leaving the one of the 3rd. • The Feb 3, 2015 post is deleted. • Feb 24, 2015: One artwork posted. • Feb 26, 2015: Three artworks posted. • Feb 27, 2015: Two artworks posted. • Mar 6, 2015: One artwork posted.
• Aug 12, 2014: The last post on the HFW site, promising an appearance on a HBO show (which seems not to have materialize). No updates since then.
And that's it, so far. No whisper why. Are there Twitters why?

Hmm well it does seem somewhat inconsistent and kinda what made me feel Marina was lost in a Hollyworld of her own, not surprising given the way things work over there. But the last FB I replied to was a picture from her art lesson? which was posted yesterday. I am glad she is taking lessons as I feel she has a desire to express herself properly and needs to hone those skills because, to be honest, the efforts so far have not really impressed me. We shall see though. Remember she is a married lady now and so maybe has not so much free time as before. Anyway, sure between us all who are real fans and sometime friends can work out what is going one and if we have a place left for us. Cheers,

I just saw the pix on FB, but thanks for beating me to it. Well, married or not, if she wants to have an active Website, etc., she should keep her fans informed of what is going on instead of just disappearing into thin air at times. Actually, she should have more free time on her hands now, because she is living in hubby's house and has his income to support her, so she doesn't have the pressure to grind out lessons anymore.
It is still unexplained why she deleted many late Timeline pix and videos. How about this scenario: Hubby does something to really tick off M. She deletes all those pix and vids of M in her wedding dress, landscapes of the beach, sunsets, deer in the neighborhood and the rest taken since she got married and now spends her time in art school. Does it all fit?
M should just tell us what is going on in her life and trust that we will understand instead of pushing the delete button when things get tough. I wish I could get through to her on that point.

Yes.. it is a pity she deleted all that as I never got a chance to see any of it really. That what I get for not being a facebook junkie I guess. Still it would be churlish of me not to wish Marina well as I am still after all these years quite fond of her regardless even if it is reciprocated or not. Truth is if she is happy and safe what more should I ask?
Still I am somewhat disappointed as another riddle which I sent her years back I never got any feedback from at all. It was kinda then that I realised if she does not have the time to sit down and think about riddles then her mood must be less tranquil and her thoughts less quiescent. Hollywood does that to people though so I hear but hey ho.. Maybe that has changed. We can but hope.
What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare...?

Leonard, how cumzit you don't register, so you stop showing up as guest? And load a pix or something for an avatar while you're at it.
>> "...we all master the nature to slave the greed."
What?!? That ranks right up there with, "It's crackers to slip a rozzer the dropsy in snide."

• Not only are there no new lessons, Leonard, but her FB posts are getting spottier. • I ran across this outfit today. I don't know exact what Kodi is. Nor do I know if HFW is officially associated with it. With the low level of HFW participation M has demonstrated since she got married, I doubt she had anything to do with it. Oh, and now I see that veritanuda found the same thing on March 5th, but it was hidden in the previous thread. (See, that just goes to show you how easy it is for things to get lost when you aren't going with the flow, so to speak.)

Well, Leonard, contrary to your last post, winter is dead! At least it is as of today. So, on the HFW site, we have been staring at that promo for the HBO show on sex "this winter" since last fall, and as far as I can tell, there has been no show. This Cinemablend article touted the show, but I don't think it got off the ground. The WP article on the show says it will return with the SEX // NOW title min January, 2014, which was a year ago! This is not the first time M has announced a performance that never happened.

Hey! You are back on as Guest. What's with that? Being lazy?
I have no idea how many books M sold. Doing a quick check, it is not an easy number to find out, even if you are willing to pay fees, which I am sure, we are not.
M is still using the Hot for Nutrition handle for her main YT channel, so I guess she is not getting any closer to returning to etymology.

According to HostGator, the HFW site has been suspended: According to whois.net, the domain name is registered until 2017. I left M a message on FB, asking her "to investigate."

Perhaps M read my FB post on her page, because it only took a day to get the HFW site back up. Unfortunately, there is nothing new since August of last year. So I gave her a little dig about it today.

I stumbled upon this collection of files on a Singapore site: offshoregit.com/xbmchub/xbmc-hub-repo/raw/master/plugin.video.hotforwords/. One of them was a pix I had not seen before: So what is this guy up to with the following?: <addon id="plugin.video.hotforwords" name="HotForWords" version="1.0.2" provider-name="xbmchub.com"> <requires> <import addon="xbmc.python" version="2.1.0"/> <import addon="plugin.video.youtube" version="3.0.0"/> </requires> <extension point="xbmc.python.pluginsource" library="default.py"> <provides>video</provides> </extension> <extension point="xbmc.addon.metadata"> <summary lang="en">HotForWords</summary> <description lang="en">My name is Marina Orlova and I am a philologist (one who studies linguistics and etymology). I love to discuss the origins of words.</description> <platform>all</platform> <forum>http://www.xbmchub.com/forums/official-xbmc-hub-repo/</forum> <website>http://www.xbmchub.com/</website></extension></addon> The forum thing near the end redirects to: www.tvaddons.ag/, so they write addons. "Get Free Access to Every Movie and TV Show Ever Made" Hmmm....

Something has gone awry with the HFW site as it did in April; it redirects to the Hostgator suspended page once again. I can't imagine why it is doing that so soon after April. I notified M on her FB page. The last time she hopped right on it and it quickly got fixed.
