It looks very interesting and it is a good complement to learn more about Subject Headings.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing the history behind the "Cat", it is very interesting. Also is the map you share and the Siamese Cat are fantastic. I like Siamese. They are beautiful and love to "talk" with you. I still need to visit the other links. <br /><br />Thanks, Rosemary for the list of idioms. I'll visit them and search for Spanish ones to share with you.<br /><br />Nice Week, everyoneRamon Gonzalezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16129830563029534511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953008377950396317.post-39991241160385156062014-10-04T15:35:11.767-07:002014-10-04T15:35:11.767-07:00…and general search drops right into Books - morph...<a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=x7Rbkt304oMC&pg=PA43&lpg=PA43&dq=cat+skinner+expression&source=bl&ots=D0zytffpem&sig=ATnV_3ifjURRp6FmVl0_ex8bs4Y&hl=en&sa=X&ei=A3AwVOXCMoXkoATr9ILQDg&ved=0CBQQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=cat%20skinner%20expression&f=false" rel="nofollow">…and general search drops right into Books - morphing, language is a virus</a><br /><br /><a href="http://vimeo.com/14793787" rel="nofollow">Laurie's view</a><br /><a href="http://fineartamerica.com/featured/siamese-cat-laurie-anderson.html" rel="nofollow">a different Laurie</a><br />literally a metaphor…figuratively speaking…purrrrsRs ( =^‥^=) remmijhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17985809654574916217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953008377950396317.post-8436502411962083162014-10-04T13:41:31.532-07:002014-10-04T13:41:31.532-07:00Hi Dan!

I feel I can call you by your first name since we have spent a lot of "time together" via Basic and Advanced Google search online course last month. Was excited to see the above title at the beginning of this newsletter, though a bit disappointed to read further (though I will use the great info there). Inspired by the online search courses, I attempted a search, using basic & advanced techniques, in English and Spanish, lasting most of 1 week. I was unsuccessful in obtaining a definitive answer to my query. If interested, I can pass the question along to you. Feel free to contact me at my email address. You would be welcome to pass it along for your readers to solve. Thanks in advance.

Wit...I think these tools for book search are great. With the current answer along with previous posts I have gained a great deal. For example, in one previous post you mention that while we may not be able to view the entire text when doing Control F it does look at the whole text (in google books but not Amazon). I didn't know that.<br /><br />I can also see that if I find one book on a subject I can use the 'about book' in reverse finding related books & also using the subject heading at the bottom to further search within that category. <br /><br />Using the 'about book' or 'look inside' along with common terms gives me a good idea of the contents of the book. It is like how I would browse a book in a library/bookstore, almost. <br /><br />I did check out "Your guide to National Parks" This for me was an occasion to use Amazon.ca ¨look inside"feature that gave me the Contents and excerpts. It also directed me to libraries or book stores for a copy. Now thats even better than searching at a book store. Something I just have recently begun to do is save my book searches in "my library". I can see that being handy.<br /><br />Sometimes we see something obvious in a result but this challenge has made me realize the importance of finding ways of using what we given. <br /><br />Ramón You are right about the idiom regarding "search a cat" [the other is a terrible expression but people still use it]. I am always researching to find lists of spanish idioms so I thought you might like an english list.<br /><br />http://www.english-for-students.com/Idiom.html.<br /><br />I recently learned the term "colocacion" which pairs commonly used words in a language. <br />Here's a couple links to some english colocations that you may enjoy. http://esl.about.com/od/engilshvocabulary/a/collocations.htm<br />http://www.englishleap.com/vocabulary/collocations<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Rosemary Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12291661159622665464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953008377950396317.post-62622054405558610692014-10-04T13:13:53.518-07:002014-10-04T13:13:53.518-07:00something else to search via maps… hmmm, still mis...something else to search via maps… hmmm, still missing kitty/Sears post… does Dan dislike cats?<br /><a href="https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=zlY48eTMIq2I.khr_OK7MUhFY&msa=0" rel="nofollow">sequence</a>remmijhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17985809654574916217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953008377950396317.post-31977460696805204342014-10-04T12:35:41.117-07:002014-10-04T12:35:41.117-07:00also non-Latin? coastal - subject:"cerebral d...also non-Latin? coastal - subject:"cerebral diversion"<br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devil's_Island" rel="nofollow"> île du Diable</a><br /><br /><a href="http://youtu.be/rdeS1vJNgpg" rel="nofollow">when search fails</a><br /><a href="http://youtu.be/MgnBH46IKyk" rel="nofollow">paradise</a><br /><br /><a href="http://youtu.be/inHwBUo9Pzk" rel="nofollow">94</a><br /><a href="http://youtu.be/nLAWPrCUQQ0" rel="nofollow">Los Lobos</a><br /><a href="http://youtu.be/mwyGPg8cYvY" rel="nofollow">Ry Cooder</a><br />and making the search a bit more elastic -<br /><a href="http://youtu.be/guMF6351Zo4" rel="nofollow">Radmilla Cody, Diné </a><br />ties to the previous Francis Scott Key search & the Code Talker ref…<br /><a href="http://youtu.be/6NUj_w38FNM" rel="nofollow">SSB</a><br /><br />eye candy - perhaps Dan's next excursion - Unicorn fish 5:50<br /><a href="http://youtu.be/0liBnH0xlr0" rel="nofollow">Koh Tachai</a>remmijhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17985809654574916217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953008377950396317.post-20920610741772494672014-10-04T10:37:50.866-07:002014-10-04T10:37:50.866-07:00Papal Line of Demarcation in 1493 & Treaty of ... <i>Papal Line of Demarcation in 1493 & Treaty of Tordesillas of 1494</i> good finds Ramón… I'm always curious and surprised where the strands<br />run in DrD's Learn-O-Rama<br />…like the animation (off the Red ILCE site you found) don't understand the audio, but the visual language is pretty clear<br /><a href="http://youtu.be/NlACF08jEy4" rel="nofollow">vid</a>.<br />the World Bank info is interesting - but only for the developing -<i>Latin America & Caribbean (developing only)</i><br /><br />two of my favorite imaginary felines - <a href="http://www.jfklibrary.org/Asset-Viewer/VfqmE2v6rkC1ldJUGPOgPQ.aspx" rel="nofollow">Ernest M.</a> told me about them<br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_the_Cat" rel="nofollow">Bill tC</a><br /><a href="http://static.rcgroups.net/forums/attachments/1/3/5/1/6/a3173100-239-bill-the-cat-ack.jpg" rel="nofollow">ACK</a><br />and<br /><a href="http://getfuzzy.wikia.com/wiki/Bucky_B._Katt" rel="nofollow">Bucky B.

It is also very interesting the topic that were brought in the Challenge. Fish and Corals are a topic that I always have loved. Thanks for sharing books, photos and information about that. <br /><br />About this book and Common terms Subject headings tool was also new and is very useful. And, yesterday I was reading your post about Scoping. It is also very helpful and as always great to learn.<br /><br />Thanks, Debbie for your answer. <br /><br />Remmij, as always very interesting what you post. Suriname and Guyana are excluded, because their official languages and primary culture are Dutch and English, respectively. <a href="http://www.coastonline.org/mml/topic/topicsSearch_detail.php?id=280" rel="nofollow">Latin America Background</a> I didn't know about they not being Latin. Now, I know. Belize is excluded too. Puerto Rico is Latino.<br /><br />The query I used was [guyana suriname latin america]<br /><br /><a href="http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/01/16/the-loneliness-of-the-guyanas/?_php=true&_type=blogs&_r=0" rel="nofollow">The Loneliness of the Guyanas</a><br /><br />After reading more, I have found that many sources add all the countries just for being in America. <br />[latin american official countries]<br /><br /><a href="http://lanic.utexas.edu/" rel="nofollow">Latin American Network Information Center</a><br /><br /><a href="http://data.worldbank.org/region/LAC" rel="nofollow">World Bank</a><br /><br />So, I guess countries are added or deleted if we choose Language and Culture or Geographical position. I have even read that many think Mexico is in Central America.<br /><br />I really liked your phrase better than the original.
