  1. Usually, just one. Sometimes a second computer at my school. Sometimes at an internet cafe. Occasionally the other graduate students who share this house use my computer when they are having computer probems. Mosjan, cut the sex crap. I have only been intimate with two persons, both born 100% female and still female, since 1982.
  2. I am not familair with that IP.

  3. I have an excellent security system on my computer to screen all viruses. Whatever it was did not come from my account. Mosjan, send me a PM and so that I can see what it is.
  4. Hello, How Are You Doing? Groundbreaking Research Has Scientists Talking With Apes The Great Ape Trust, where the bonobos understand English. (ABCNews) by JOHN BERMAN May 29, 2007 The Great Ape Trust in Des Moines, Iowa, is home to seven bonobos -- a close relative of the chimpanzee -- and three orangutans. But if you think Iowa might be a strange place for them to live, don't say it out loud … these apes understand English. Really. No kidding. Watch John Berman's interview with a bonobo tonight on "World News With Charles Gibson" You can talk to the apes, and they know what you are saying. The residents of the Great Ape Trust are part of groundbreaking language research where the apes are being taught to communicate with humans by pressing 350 lexigrams -- symbols that appear on a screen and represent thoughts and objects. The superstar is 26-year-old Kanzi, whom Bill Fields has been working with for years. To communicate, Fields speaks to Kanzi, who then points to the lexigrams to respond and demonstrate a level of understanding. "Qualitatively, there is no difference between Kanzi's language and my language," Fields said. "It's a matter of degree." The key to ensuring they grasp the language, the researchers said, is to start teaching them when they are young, just like you would with human babies. "Language is culturally acquired. Its not learned," said Fields. "It's acquired in the immediate postnatal antogyny of the organisms life. The only organism capable of learning language are babies." They've been communicating with bonobos through the keyboard for almost three years, relying on a technique developed in 1971 and also used at the Primate Research Institute at Kyoto University and other facilities. At the Great Ape Trust, researchers said the apes would likely never be able to vocalize words like humans; they are limited by the range of their vocal chords among other things. However, Fields swears he has heard Kanzi try to say "thank you." 'Surprise' From an Interview With an Ape When they begin to work with the apes, some pick up the vocabulary quickly while others never acquire the language. Rob Shumaker has known Azy, a majestic, huge male orangutan, for more than 20 years. He talks to Azy, just like he would speak to one of his children, or a longtime friend. "When I'm around them we just kind of talk normally," he explained. "I use my normal vocabulary, my normal voice my normal gestures." Sound beyond belief? During a visit to the Great Ape Trust, I sat down with Kanzi the Bonobo -- the first Ape I have ever interviewed. I read Kanzi a series of words, and then without fail, he hit the corresponding lexigram symbol on a touch screen. I said "Egg." He pressed "Egg." I said, "M and M." He pressed "M and M." Then Kanzi took control of the conversation and pressed the symbol for "Surprise!" Needless to say, I was quite surprised, having never actually spoken to an ape before. But Kanzi was pointing to a box of candy that I was sitting near. That is the surprise that he wanted. Moments like this are proof that these conversations help scientists learn about apes, from the apes themselves. "If we have some common means of communicating with each other," said Shumaker , " we suddenly have exponentially large number of topics that we can explore." "It allows Kanzi to tell me if his stomach hurts, his head hurts or if he'd like to be alone or if he's afraid or scared," Fields added. Speaking Up for Their Survival There's another possible impact of the communication with these apes: These celebrity apes may help raise awareness of the plight of apes in the wild. Shumaker said there is an estimated 10,000 to 50,000 bonobos left in the wild, and 50 - 55,000 orangutans in the wild, so raising awareness of just how smart these creatures are might encourage the public to take their problems more seriously. "The research we conduct here powerfully informs people about the nature of great ape intelligence," Shumaker said. "We know that humans and great apes share far more than they differ. I think we have to recognize that. If that does not compel us to preserve great apes in the wild, I don't know what can." The insight into ape learning might also give some insight into human development. It tells us about how we learn everything," said Fields, "what the antecedents are to the kind of powerful learning that could occur in humans." Sometimes the similarities to humans are downright eerie. When I asked Kanzi if he wanted coffee, he enthusiastically shook his head up and down. Bonobos share 98 percent of their DNA with humans -- they also apparently share a love of decaf caramel machiatos. For more information contact the www.greatapetrust.org.
  5. In one of the threads here Domino (Quebecer, Domino, McFarty Analyst (sic??) stated that the mother of my late mother's boyfriend was a Moslem married to an Armenian. That was no "run of the mill" Armenian family. He was a famous author and his brother a US Congressman. Do any of you know if this is true and if there are any other Armenians married to Moslems?
  6. I don't think you are serious, but the only photos I ever posted on this website were those of Kim Kardashian and my baby picture labelled "payloon eres." Both were posted a long time ago. I have never posted any link to "my photos." Someone is hacking your website and using my handle!!!!!
  7. Arpa, What kind of bigoted comment is that? I think that we shall send your comment to Kirk Kerkorian, a Hye Catholic. Perhaps he will instruct one of your neighbors in the Albany region to give you a tongue lashing!
  8. So Yervant 1, the spirits from the "other side" communicate with you as well. In a gold clock that sat in my grandmother's childhood home were the ancestral papers of her family attesting to the fact that they were the direct descendants of the younger brother of the last king, King Levon of Armenia. Her family did not look at all Armenian, but from northern France or Germany.
  9. My ancestors joined the Pope in the 12th Century for strategic reasons because the Europeans afforded the Armenians protection. My father left the Armenian Catholic Church after his memories of being abused by the monks was dejavu-ed by my being sexually abused while that so-called Christian Damadian played his violin next door. As for my rhinoplasty, who would want to go through life with an Armenian nose? As for a sex change, no thank you, I am quite pleased with retaining my pecks and my appendage. Why would anyone want to mutilate oneself like that?
  10. One does not have to ignore the teachings of Jesus to realize that what the Christian hierarchy is handing us is not legitimate. What we believe to be the word of Jesus is the word of two very dishonest men, Saul (Paul) of Tarsus and the Emperor Constantine. The true word of Jesus far surpasses the fraudulent paganism that is practiced today as Christianity.
  11. My great-grandfather's nemesis. Hagop Baronian (1843-1891) was an influential Armenian writer, satirist, educator, and social figure in the 19th century. Widely acknowledged as the greatest Armenian satirist of all time, closely followed by Yervant Odian. Baronian's most famous work was the book Medzabadiv Mouratsganner ("Honorable Beggars"), which parodies the almost beggar-like state of writers and publishers in that period. Baronian was also known for his biting, sarcastic criticisms of leading figures in the Armenian social circles of Istanbul; some of these critical comments appear in his book Azkayin Chocher ("National Bigshots"). Unfortunately, he himself suffered the same fate as the characters in Medzabadiv Mouratsganner, and ended up dying penniless on the streets of Istanbul.
  12. Arpa, you have missed your calling in life. You belong on "Saturday Night Live." !!!!!!!!!
  13. One does not have to become a Moslem to be ridiculed in the Armenian community. One only has to become more prosperous, more attractive or more educated for the vilification to begin. I remember well the filthy things that were said about the greatest Armenian benefactor family in our community by other envious Armenians.
  14. Arpa, Please get your ass out of the gutter!!!!!! and discuss this issue like an honorable person.
  15. It is well accepted that there are years of Jesus' life that are a "mystery." Well, in the East there is a record of a St. Issa who studied with the masters there. You will not find the truth in the Bible. It is a compilation of works. Each book was written by an individual. The leaders of the church hierarchy decided which book to include and which to leave out. You have to look at the texts that were not included, the apocrypha and the so-called heretical texts unearthed in Egypt 60 years ago to distill the essence of Jesus. Do not take any one book as gospel. Read them all and then make your own conclusions. Jesus stated "Seek, seek and you shall find." That didn't mean going to church on Sundays and being fed the pablum that our priests and ministers hand us.
  16. Sassun, If you had sought the true message of Christ as I have, you would have realized that you don't need a church to feel the power of Christ's true teachings. You don't need a community when his spirit enters your being. He was strongly influenced by Buddhism during his lost years studing in the East. The hierarchy of the organized Churches have destroyed the true word of Christ through centuries of spilling of blood. Why do so-called men of God need to spill the blood of those whom they feel are non-believers? The history of the Christian and Moslem so-called leaders is nothing but a long history of spilling blood and causing innocent deaths.
  17. We can start by not closing down Synagogues in Armenia. Don't forget that there is an Armenian community in Israel, both within and outside the Armenian Quarter of Jerusalem. We can get Djerdjian to act as a go between Israel and the Arab states. We can act as an agent for peace instead of agitating the Jews in the ROA. What the heck is going on in Yerevan? Parks are sold off to the oligarchs, 200-year old historic buildings are demolished by the government to build an in-town residence for the Catholicos, etc. The ROA should restore the historic synagogues to the Jewish community and assist in their restoration. What is being done only cements the Jews closer to the Azeris. What idiots are running Yerevan?
  18. Now you got it! There are eshegs running things in Yerevan.
  19. 750 Jews remain in Armenia. There are also European Jews doing business in Yerevan. The ROA mayor just comandeered the Jewish meeting hall. The synagogue and cemetary were confiscated by the Soviets and have not been returned. You can count the number of Armenians remaining in Singapore on one hand yet the Singaporean government has restored the 1835 Armenian Church there. It and its gardens are so beautiful that it is like a paradise oasis in the middle of the city.
  20. When are the ROA authorties going to give the Hryas back their synagogues and their cemetary? No, I am not a Hrya but a nominal Protestant studying Zen Buddhism.

  22. Yup, he had 10 heart attacks. Some more mild than others and he had to stay home from his job after each one. My mother radically changed his diet to keep him alive, but the damage was already done. Anyone eating a standard diet would not last past the third.
  23. My father was very stressed. First "the silver spoon was pulled out of his mouth" at age 8, and he had to go from a life where his family had multiple homes to working as a hammal in Paris at age 16. Next he was in a very stressful top-secret job for a private contractor to the US government. Third he smoked and ate rich Armenian foods (boormas, yughod pilaf, etc.). We grew up chasing the ambulances. Those were two young eshegs, who didn't know what they were doing. The first time I became vegetarian without expert advice, I became gravely ill. It is imperative that any change of diet be done under the care of a competent professional.
  24. The symptoms you describe sound more like a toxic overload. My father would get very pale after having intense pain in his arm and a tightness in the chest. What you relate is more in line with alcohol poisoning. My father was born in late 1907. He had his first heart attack in early 1952, so 44 is correct Sip.
  25. My father had 10 heart attacks during the 18 years before he died at 62. I witnessed a few of these. I was six years old when he had his first heart attack. Due to this experience, I have been a confirmed vegan for 20 years and a vegetarian for 30 years. Ask me what you want to ask.
