This is the second video on this topic. From the first video I thought she was an entrant, but she says she is hosting. Has she given up on HFW?
NEWSFLASH----> THIS VIDEO HAS BEEN WITHDRAWN.
CONTEST! The winner is the first person to post a Streetview photo of the view out the studio window serving as the thumbnail for this video (except for the cars, of course). Bonus points: post a photo looking into the window. The prize is, uh... Well, there is no prize. Sorry.

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.

Ohhhh, she cried? You should have told me; I would have gone down there and given her a big hug and a juicy kiss. Oh, wait, that would have made her cry even harder.

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.htmMany 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.

Leonard, you don't "play" battlecam, you appear on it. A bunch of people get on the site and if you are interesting enough—as witnessed by viewer votes—you stay on, else you are "kicked off the island." I watched once, but saw nothing I wanted to see.
----
OH, NO! YouTube has done it again! They made a change I certainly didn't ask for. Now the suggestions of videos "that might interest you" includes those channels that the owners of channels to which I subscribe comment on or subscribe to. Gak! What a horrible move.

They have automated milking stalls now. When it strikes her fancy, Bessy walks into a stall, she is udderly washed, and cameras center the vacuum hoses where they need to be. The next thing you know, Bessy is being relieved of her Grade A. No more lining up at the fence gate at 5 AM. When done, the milker disconnects and 10,000 volts convinces Bessy to leave. (I made that last bit up.) Perhaps they will have a similar set up for the ladies someday that is manned (literally) by hunks. The hotties enter the stall, use a touch screen to select their choice, and, wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am, her parking is validated and she is on her way. Of course, for Marina, there would need to be two baskets to hold her pooches while she is being "oiled and lubed." A typical hypothetical result:

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.

EvanOwen98428 did post in the Lost Sheepses topic, but hasn't shown up here in the "regular world." I guess I will have to think of new ways to bug encourage him.

Well, we have now passed the three month anniversary of the last word lesson. Three months! Oh, well, you can always watch the TV show, America's Secret Slang, which, if you don't subscribe to cable or dish, you can buy here. How sad.
