  2. Well, I just saw two instances of those two words being misused on this forum.
  3. One of my pet peeves is people mixing up the use of "affect" and "effect". If I'm not mistaken, affect is a verb and effect is a noun.
  4. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIo3fCaGH0w Sung by Korean/Canadian countertenor David DQ Lee.
  5. This is Bing Translator's literal translation of the text in the first link. It says Anne Frank's marbles were sometimes removed from the closet for the grandchildren. "Nearly seventy years after the second world war is toys of Anne Frank turned up. The Anne Frank House announced today that Andrew Kamal, the former girl next door of the Frank family, some time ago a look with marbles of Anne has donated. Andrew got the toys by when the family Frank had to go into hiding. "It was for me anyway but just a few marbles," says the 83-year-old Kamal. For decades they were at her in a closet. Only for the grandchildren they were sometimes removed. They had never thought they would be so valuable for the Anne Frank House. "Dream come true" Curator Teresien da Silva says, "it's a dream come true for us. We already have photos of a playing on the Merwedeplein, but that we now have the original marble look of Anne is really fantastic! " According to her, this is the first tangible evidence that Anne could play carefree outdoor for 1942. At the beginning of the war shared the families Frank and Kamal a portico at the Merwedeplein in Amsterdam. On the only known moving image by Andrew and her family are also appeared, hanging out the window to catch a glimpse of a starting wedding couple. Move The families had a good band. Before the move to the secret annex at Prinsengracht brought the family Frank precious stuff to the neighbors, including the marbles. After the war, father Otto Frank back to the Merwedeplein. "He had to tell us that Margot and Anne were no longer there. I thought that was very much ", says Kamal. The marbles of Anne stayed behind. They can be seen on the tentoonstellingDe second world war in 100 objects in the Kunsthal in Rotterdam, which the King will open tomorrow. At the same time as the marbles was Kamal also a tea service and a book by Anne."

  10. And how can you tell, other than its Mint condition, which is unusual for those? http://www.ebay.com/itm/41-64-Vintage-M-F-Christensen-Brick-Marble-MINT-Condition-Beautiful-/281241407356?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT&nma=true&si=SemRriRh72Z3hUBAe4YiAbDg8qc%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc
  11. I love Baroque music too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIrkxvqg64c
  12. OK, I'll spell it out for you. Paul wins hands down. The other guy with the hairy chest looks like some Neanderthal. Ugh. (Not that hairy chests are always bad...and for all I know, Paul may have one too.) (J/K)
  13. There is no contest between the two!
  14. Too bad some nitwit drilled a hole thru that yellow one.

  16. If anybody has some of those pj Rainbos, now might be the time to sell them because I've noticed they've been going for prices like this. http://www.ebay.com/itm/A-Brilliant-Vintage-Peltier-Sunset-Marble-9-16-Wet-Near-Mint-Sweet-/301021581525?pt=Marbles&hash=item461648d0d5
  17. The ones being shown in this thread look like Rainbos to me, or at least not NLRs.
  18. The Rainbos are such plain Janes that they don't deserve special names, IMO.
  19. It sounds like you're saying anything that is red and green can be a called a dragon. So I suppose anything red and blue can be called a spiderman, and so on.
  20. Here is a Peltier Flaming Dragon. Most lack the pure yellow that this one has.
  21. I'm a little rusty on my technical marble knowledge, but I thought dragons had to be NLRs. Those look like Rainbos to me. I wouldn't call either one a Dragon.
  22. I have a similar-looking Vitro Cat shooter that was my very first purchase from Marblealan back in March of 2005, I believe. I sure do miss his auctions. Actually, that auction was for two look-alike cats, and before I even had the marble in hand, someone emailed me and asked if I would sell him one of them for the price I paid for both. I agreed.
  23. Oh. That explains everything.
  24. Do you mind telling me the seller? I'm trying to figure out how I missed that one.
  25. that you can convert the audio from YouTube videos to mp3 files and download them for free to your computer? I just found that out. Just type in the url of the video and convert it. http://www.youtube-mp3.org/
