Stephen Hawking became ill in about the age of 28-30, anushing question is deferent in nature Armat I agree with Sip, why have go thru misery and pain for the rest of your life, I have a friend whose baby was born like that, handicap (mentally and physically), and every time they ( the parents ) wished they were smart to know in advance what was wrong and could have prevented it. speaking as a parent, we have a healthy son, and if we knew (and we did tests before he was born) in advance he was not going to be ok then yes, we would have terminated the pregnancy, think about it, what good would have come out of it, at list for my friend, poor couple are domed for the rest of there lives. Anyways this subject is sensitive for debate I will stop here for now

Sasun jan I'm not talking about materialism , now days it more of a preservation if you will, specialy in diaspora which is getting larger and larger on daily bases, and further more, church (Armenian) should hold first and formost to the highest degree for the reasons mantioned above! fait one can find anywhere, can we find what if we were to loose 10 years from now elsewere? as far as diaspora geting larger thanks to economic hardship and social problems Armenia is facing now days, thats a deferent topic. church (i think) has a duty and when i see in 10 mile reduis there are allready 10 churches, and one more is beeing build for 1 millon$ what is that telling you? more of a $$$$$$

TN you don’t happen to have an access to Emins SASUNTSINERI PAR@ do you?. If yes please post it here for everyone to read it. Thanks

A poet's real biography is the biography of his inner self, the history of his spiritual life, inseparable from the life and history of his people. Over and above remain the less interesting items of his "factual" biography, wherein he is indistinguishable from others: his birth, studies, work, love, joys and sorrows, inspirations and disappointments... I was born in 1919 in the Armenian village of Ashtarak, in the family of a schoolteacher and gardener. Ashtarak, a big village in the heart of Armenia, abounds in vineyards, ancient temples and monuments. It dates back to the time of the state of Urartu, deriving its name from the Urartan god Ishtar. Ashtarakians, born horticulturists and vine-growers, can equally well make and enjoy good wine. That is why they are so merry, so witty, and, of course, so prone to fall in love, be it with woman, wine, song or an apt word. Over the ages, they consumed so much wine that today it accounts for a lion's share of the blood in every Ashtarakian (including, of course, myself). In consequence, from their very birth, Ashtarakians .are permanently intoxicated, inspired and in love. And all, therefore, have a bit of the poet in them. Not accidentally, Ashtarak was for centuries a cradle of national culture and letters, having produced and still producing numerous eminent people : writers, poets, linguists, scholars, cosmologists and even church primates. Also, each Ashtarakian keeps a cherished notebook of his own poetry (usually a rhymed history of Armenia some 6,000 lines long !). Whatever I may have learned in my few years at Ashtarak school, one thing I know for certain: all that is best in me, which later found rellection in my books, was picked up in childhood, playing in dusty Ashtarak streets, in its gardens, by the river Kasakh, near the churches of Karmravor and Marineh, the mountains Aragats and Tsakhkevank, acquired from the naive yet pithy tales of old men and the songs of brides and young goodwives. In 1927 our family moved to Yerevan, where in 1936 I finished secondary school, and in 1940 graduated from the local Polytechnical Institute, as an hydraulic engineer. If today I do not build bridges or canals, but write books, I owe it largely to my good luck having met at school one of the most brilliant contemporary Armenian poets - Egishe Charents. And, also, I am indebted to that great depository of ancient Armenian manuscripts, the Matenadaran, where I worked as a student, obtaining the precious opportunity to read our sacred books, relishing the taste and flavour of my people's age-old literature, pondering over its meaning and essence. Be it as it may, I am also grateful to fate for my engineer's qualification: nothing like the exact sciences can help an author to develop a sense of structural harmony, to avoid verbosity and dispense with the luxury of taking ten steps where one is sufficient. Later, I went to one of the regions of Armenia to build an hydro-electric power station, then served in the army, fell in love, wrote and published poetry and prose, lived and studied in Moscow, travelled extensively in Armenia, over the entire Soviet Union and abroad (Korea, France, America), witnessing how human joys and sorrows are the same everywhere, and how important poetry is in the life of mankind. . . . All in all, I have ten books of my own, three sons and my little Armenia, which, however, is vast ' in its aspirations, in its love for all other peoples of the world.

To All One of the qualities this forum possesses that is, a freedom to speak and express thing in civilized manner, it is very wise to select our words and thoughts before we write them, Thoth, Sasun, Domino as well as Armat has, and always been very valued and respected members of this forum, yours contributions go way back, Thoth you were known as a peacemaker, and don’t loose that position. Perhaps you should make peace within, and I don’t mean this to offend yon anyway shape or form! So that in mind, please, lets refrain our self’s from screaming out laoud about our fillings thords this or that conviction and why not set an example for new comers to this forum. And this if I may, goes both ways, time to sit back and take a good look back see what went wrong, maybe redric here is not connected to this thread, or perhaps maybe I could be wrong?

When I look at then strangely peace and calm came over me, very strange but welcomed, harmonious is the word I wanted to describe, I f I were to see those paintings in a museum or some other public place maybe it wouldn’t had the effect on me that did when I look at them in private. Do you feel the same? Nice Sasun

Never cruise on Santa Monica blvd at nights

see? when I was (by the way for does who don’t know its a Canadian corp.) in Montreal I was telling that to my classmates who were new into it, then I believe everyone had lost (and I don’t blame them because most were amateurs driven by the greed) money on Nortel and in telecom in general, well surprised, what does NT worth now? No comments http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=NT&t=1y&l=on&z=m&q=l&c= do some homework and then spend 1 hour on this thing, research and get some knowledge, there is some money to be made, just not for everyone unless you are willing to educate your self before you get in!!!!! Sure your going to loose some, but in a long run tech stocks are the future, they are tremendous amounts stocks like LU, NT AGRA, LOOK, CMGI, etc…… look into it and thank me later

Unfortunately all hays do my friend, sad to say, nothing comes out now days is good, and fish always rots from the head down. Have you noticed séance Bush got "elected" actually stole the elections and got to be president, how arrogant and cocky this nation got? They have there own fox network neo-conservative channel to reflect there bull agenda, I always advocated, If a nation is in a mess then its there peoples fault, something very fundamental is different with Armenians, always has been, patients have run out, with it minds and a skill of Republic. Recently there was an economic number growth presented as gain in Armenia, what is interesting is that is mostly due to the families who send money to Armenia. Subject is very deep and painful; ironic has to be in a humor section

Sasun you want some if not all back? and more? I lost 99% got most of it back in six monts, ask me how or fallow what I wroth
