It seems that bess blocks sites by forcing you through their proxy. A seemingly obviously solution would be to surf through an alternate proxy - but for that you'd have to have admin rights on the machine in question. Regardless, if you're at school and you're using equipment that belongs to the school, should you be doing things that are school related? Just a question.... Good luck School rules are made to be broken, if only for the sake of breaking them. Don't do anything stupid though, in the long run it may not be worth it...

Hey there... I've know a couple of people really close to me who have spoken in a similar way. Both of them went through a clinical depression and in the end were able to make it through and are now enjoying happy lives. It's important to realise the difference between just being sad or a little 'down', and a chronic, clinical depression. While it's fairly easy to "get over" some sadness, it can be really tough (seemingly almost impossible) to deal with depression. I hope you're not experiencing clinical depression, but you may want to go through this quick quiz just to check... If you think you may be depressed, you may want to have a chat with your doctor. Family can help, but if they don't understand the true nature of depression, they can sometimes be more of a hinderance than help. Good luck

Bari Taredarts Maral jan!

Thanks for the article - and welcome back

Here's the Wikipedia article on Probiotics. Essentially they're bacterial "supplements" that some folks claim put your bodies beneficial flora/bacteria back into balance. Yogurt is an example of a natural probiotic.

How about Etchmiadzin? http://66.208.11.17/resources/Old%20Etchmiadzin.jpg http://66.208.11.17/resources/Ceiling.jpg More here.

Many people here have commented to me personally upon hearing that I'm Armenian, "Armenians are such industrious, hard-working people" - and that is the impression we leave upon otars. Hardworking, thrifty, and more often than not, "our kind" is affluent. I would hope that the drive to succeed and do well financially, doesn't come at the (heavy) price of integrity. Financial success doesn't equate to ripping people off, or worse, ripping off our own.

BTW - I quickly checked out IMDB and there's no mention of anything Armenian in here... just a suburban widow sellin' dope. Sounds hilarious.

Smokin' rugs is probably dangerous for your health. I saw an ad for the show, but haven't tuned-in yet.... we'll just have to see.

Latest update: FIFA rankings Armenia's now at 112. The US has dropped to 28, one place behind..... yes, Turkey.

Introduction to the Article: “My Journey From Hate to Hope” in the October issue of Reader’s Digest is my attempt to deal with the hatred I’ve felt for Turks because of the 1915 Armenian Genocide that killed 1.5 million men, women and children. Here, I speak with some Turks and some well-known Armenians about the Genocide."

I received this via email. Dear Friends, The October Issue of Reader's Digest (Canadian Edition) features a beautifully written article by Montreal Armenian Line Abrahamian, Associate Editor at Reader's Digest. The article (pages 62-69) is entitled "My Journey From Hate to Hope," with byline "The Armenian Genocide almost annihilated my ancestors. How could I not hate Turks." This timely and engaging article is preceded by an interview with Orlando Bloom (pages 56-61) in which the A-list Hollywood actor talks about his participation in Andrew Goldberg's stunning "The Armenian Genocide" documentary. The October Issue of the Canadian Edition will be on newsstands across Canada in the coming days. In addition to the interview and the article in print, the Reader's Digest website includes another article written by Ms. Abrahamian with quotes and interviews from numerous Turks and some well-known Armenians about the Genocide. The web article is called: "Talking With Turks and Armenians About the Genocide." It is located at: http://www.readersdigest.ca/mag/2006/10/genocide.php Six million copies of the magazine will be distributed and sold across Canada. You may email the editors indicating your appreciation of the articles and the web material at: http://www.readersdigest.ca/lettereditor.html Finally, (for international readers) I encourage all of you to visit the website and to order multiple copies of the print edition to distribute as widely as possible.

Ah... good ol' snopes

I received a hand knotted carpet from Artsakh - that was a gift well appreciated (and memorable). Of course the cash gifts are the most "practical", simply because weddings do indeed get expensive, and most young couples aren't quite established. One thing that's cetain, your thoughtfulness will definitely be noticed. Good luck!

Hey Maral, Do you have a source on that article? I'm curious to see who has "sponsored" the research. I recently read a short journal article touting the "resistance" of newer plastic compounds, developed specifically for use in microwaves, tv dinners etc. The report proclaimed that one must avoid using "cheap" plastic (ie. re-used yogurt containers, or dollar-store containers) and stick to high-quality, highly-resistant plastics (such as real tupperware, etc.) Personally I prefer glass/pyrex, but it's interesting to see two recent articles that are diametrically opposed upon an issue that should be pretty easy to empirically resolve...

The entire report can be found HERE, including links to the sourced indices, and their general methodology. Of interest, we're behing such "freedom" stalwarts as Honduras, Thailand, Albania and the Bahrain. To answer your question, Turkey has been ranked slightly behind Armenia at #84.

Here's where it was mentioned previously, along with a link to her site.

ok, got it. wouldn't have any idea whether he's Armenian....

who's jared letho?

I can't get your links to work. Anyway, Here's a link about mammals. You'll notice that a ray, despite giving birth to live young, could not be a mammal.

I don't think stingrays are mammals. Regardless, it's sad to see him go out like that....

It's a very confusing pic - haven't ever seen anything like it (actually I can't really tell what it is). Do you have other pictures of it?

Uhm... what's soundfont? I didn't know they made aural typefaces

Finally a voice of reason.

Nope, but what a bottle I would certainly be most willing to try....
