What words for snow do eskimos have? - Peter

aput ("snow on the ground"), qana ("falling snow"), piqsirpoq ("drifting snow"), and qimuqsuq ("snowdrift") - Stefan Hayden

Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E... cites four: aput ("snow on the ground"), qana ("falling snow"), piqsirpoq ("drifting snow"), and qimuqsuq ("snowdrift") - Ontario Emperor

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E... - Stefan Hayden

Phil James documented 100 Eskimo words for snow. Further investigation of the list, however, causes a chuckle or two. http://www.mendosa.com/snow.ht... - Ontario Emperor

Tlingit has a *lot* of words for herring. Wonder how I know this? I made a hoodie for my brother in law in Tlingit that said: "Let's get some herring eggs!" - anna awesomesauce

In Jersey they refer to different subdivisions by the "eggsit" number. - Mark VandenBerg

Is eskimo a term you can use these days? My kids have been told at school that the correct term is Inuit. We're foreigners anyway so I have no clue whether this is right. Does anyone know whether First Nations people from that area like/don't like this term? - WorldofHiglet

I've heard people say Eskimo is an inappropriate term before, but I'm not sure where they're getting that from. Eskimo is a broad term used to describe a number of peoples in that region, the Inuit being only one of them. I would think it would be more offense to call a Yupik and Inuit than an Eskimo, as it isn't accurate. - Evan Sims

What a completely brilliant idea and the perfect baby shower gift! First time mom's...prepare for the sprinkling wee-wee! These cone-shaped tents make diaper changes dry and easy! You'll receive 5 Pee-pee Teepees in a matching cloth laundry bag. - Jill, Superhero Librarian via Bookmarklet

LSW: Jill Hurst-Wahl posted a message

“Where are LSW members located? As I think about my future travels, I would like to meet up with LSW members. Alas, I look at the wiki (and Frappr map) and see that I can't really tell where people are. Not everyone has done the Frappr map. Can we get people to do the map or something?”

I also looked at LinkedIn, but I don't think I can search just the LSW members. Maybe you know of a way of finding LSW members in specific locations? Or maybe we can create a index by location? (Or get people to do the Frappr map?) - Jill Hurst-Wahl

here's a link to the map - http://thelsw.org/node/20 OR http://librarysociety.pbwiki.c... - Courtney S.

okie dokie, I'm on both maps now - martha ☮

Courtney, I don't think all LSW members have placed themselves on the map. (I, of course, maybe wrong.) - Jill Hurst-Wahl

There is pretty much nothing that *all* LSW people have done. Which is kinda cool. I'm in Colorado Springs. Might I see you at ALA Midwinter in Denver? - Steve Lawson

On the map. Two of us within a couple of miles, right inside of DC. - Julian

I know of at least four more in DC, with a few nearby in Maryland. We could have a regional chapter! Or at least a pub night. Yeah, I think I like the pub night idea. - jönαthaη

I am likely not anywhere near anywhere you will be going, but I may try to make it down to Denver around Midwinter, if finances, weather, and timing allow. - laura x

Sydney Australia. Come on over - Fiona Bradley

Added myself to the map, plus if any LSW people want to share on Dopplr I'm there as well (usually travel once a quarter for work): http://www.dopplr.com/travelle.... You can do a lot of customization to protect your privacy and that of your friends. - Steven Kaye

I'm having a hard time believing I'm the only one in Seattle - Nikki D. ~ eagledawg

Doubt any of you are coming to Scotland, but am going to Denver so would be keen to meet up. - Jaclyn

Fremantle, Western Australia. I would be most isolated, but there are another couple of LSWers in this town too. - Kathryn Greenhill

...and already on both maps. Another in Perth. Western Australia. - suelibrarian

In the library town of Champaign-Urbana, I'm the only LiSieWig? That can't be. - librarienne

Would it be worth sending a message to the group in LinkedIn asking people to "pin" themselves? - Jill Hurst-Wahl

I'll be honest, I don't really pay much attention to LinkedIn beyond approving people for membership. But that's just me. If you think it would be worth it, go for it, Jill. - joshua m. neff

I think that would be great Jill. - Jill, Superhero Librarian

I don't pay much attention to LinkedIn, either, and I'm not on the map, but I am in Nashville, TN. - RachelW

I AM SHOCKED -- that Steve Lawson is coming to ALA Midwinter. - jokrausdu

Joe, I'm just coming to hang out. Not registering or anything. Keep your pants on. ;) - Steve Lawson

Added myself to both maps, thanks! - Ruth Kneale

on both maps - bob frasier

Okay...I've posted something in LinkedIn. Let's see if it helps. BTW Thanks to everyone who has added themselves to the maps! (I wasn't actually on the Google Map until today, so I was also part of the problem.) - Jill Hurst-Wahl

I'm having trouble pinning myself in Philadelphia. - Jill O'Neill

I'm in too. - Jαsοn Puckett

we think early approval for potential deficit spending mindset will run out after ~6 months or so of new Administration - AaronTheLibrarian
