I suppose that's it. Mine doesn't have little "feet" and it's cast iron but coated with an enamel. It looks just like this pic - has a capacity of 9L (a little over 9qt, for you imperial types). I've always called it a cocotte. I wonder why the French would make a "Dutch" oven.

It's almost always better with Duck - but chicken is really good, that's how I usually make mine. But I don'T power the walnuts. I crush them, but leave them a bit chunky (for more texture). Good stuff Sip You've come a long way from your 80% ketchup diet.

No, I don't think that would be very funny.... uh-oh...

Don't cook & surf at the same time my friend. Or rather, I should don't cook and surf and drink! at the same time! Hope it wasn't too bad. Speaking of dinner, I have to get the stew in the oven. I have grown to LOVE our cast iron 'cocotte' - the english name is eluding me at the moment. But it's awesome - you brown the meat, put your stew ingredients together, and let it sit in the over for 4 hours..... and YUMMY Comfort winter food at it's best. EDIT: BTW tonight it's duck & chicken stew with barley & sweet potato.

What I think Mosjan wanted to say, is that most of the material he has posted on that website is from sources that are either dubious, (like Weems for example) and/or Turkish funded "scholars". If you read the exchanges that this person has had with Domino at Wikipedia, you can see that most of his arguments have been addressed, and/or are baseless. So don't worry about web sites like that - they are not our worst enemy when it comes to Genocide recognition. About posting links - if the links point to material that hateful, obscene or false (as in this case) we will edit/delete them. If you have a site that is contentious but would like readers to visit, we ask that you place the URL in "CODE" tags like this: http://www. insertURLhere.com That way people can copy & paste the URL, but it won't increase their search engine rankings.

Ah-ha! And there it is. Religion was "created" to answer questions that needed some answers. A noble reason indeed, however somewhere along the way, as religion became more and more powerful, "religion" was usurped by those who were out for personal/political gain. As they say power corrupts - with the corruption of religion as we understand it now, it has lost all credibility and relevance today (IMO). Welcome dreamcatcher One more question, if God created men, who created God? God has always existed? Heum.... I don't really buy that....

Here, I disagree with Domino. Yes, it's ok to be cautious, but let's get with the times, ok? BTW - All you need to hear is "Lakehead" University, that about says it all. Thunder Bay? It's about 20 hours drive from civilisation (I know I'm generalising, but so what?)

For the bulb replacement only it sounds a bit steep - buit it depends on the car and the lamp assembly. Could be they're simply replacing the whole lamp unit in which case the part is expensive and the labour's quite limited. Have they given you a quote? Do you have a breakdown in terms of parts/labour? Nice seeing you around eve

So how do we divide 69 by a half? And pleeeease, before you all start giggling, I'm not referring to a list or an auger.

Well ya know - what you had said (bonne anniversaire) was just perfect you didn't have to change....

Bonne fête mon grand

Heum... how can there be negative vote??

Good job

To me, it doesn't sound like being forced to make a choice. But what do I know? I'd just like to point out that this thread is entitled "Tolerance" - let's excercise just a little bit of it.

I knew someone was going to say that Yes, I suppose faith is just that. However faith does not preclude understanding and/or acceptance. Having faith does not prevent you from understanding that there are people of other faiths that truly believe (just as you do) in their own religion - and they are not any worse for it. Accepting that fact is a large step towards tolerance. There's a caveat: it's YOUR belief - it's YOUR god. Not anyone else's. If you have indeed found the 'Truth' and believe it in your heart, would you appreciate someone offering you 'advice' about finding the real 'Truth'? So then why push your belief upon someone else? Your intention may be true, but you see how it can so easily get out of control - that zeal to 'illuminate' others - may in fact become an impediment, or worse, downright offensive. Simply because you are not recognizing/accepting that their belief may give them what yours gives you. I think almost at the outset of any discussion concerning religion/spirituality/life philosophy , one can quite quickly determine whether the particpants will be receptive to 'illumination'. If the counterparts are firmly entrenched in their beliefs, then why preach? Is it necessary? Obviously, there will be no conversion. By all means, discuss, exhange ideas, share your opinions - BUT recognize that they're YOUR opinions. And others have their opinions too, and that doesn't make them bad people.

Actually Domino has done a pretty good job laying down the facts throughout wikipedia. The Turkish government has been vigilant in their efforts to promote their position, this fact coupled with the official US government stance on issue means sadly that we will see disclaimers such as the one on Wiki frequently. That is, until the US administration finally recognizes the AG as fact... not long after that, if it happens of course, even the Turks will capitulate.

Agreed entirely. Not exactly what I was saying. In order for any degree of tolerance to exist, there must exist some latitude in thought. It requires a bit of awareness that other viewpoints and beliefs exist - and moreso, that they may even have some creedance. When people start thinking in absolutes (ie. "I know the Truth, and until you walk like I have with the one and only God, you will walk in utter and total blindness and your balls will turn green") any notion of tolerance is lost. They become less sensitive to other's viewpoints, and more sensitive to "attacks" upon their own beliefs. Hence, intolerance. This is what I meant when I referred to people's sensitivities. Religious sensitivity isn't wrong per se, but when it manifests itself into intolerance, than we're arriving at Sip's point: we should not tolerate intolerance. Edward, your post illustrates what I was trying to say above. Both Sasun and Anoushig have strong convictions about their own beliefs. However, they are both aware that other valid opinions exist - and they recognize and respect the rights of others to believe what they wish. This is tolerance even better, it's mutual understanding. Advice, yes. But preaching is essentially unsolicited advice and when it's delivered with threats, ultimatums, and general condescension, it is quite unpleasant, often offensive, and always unnecessary.

I would venture to say that intolerance of religious views, is the net result of people's "sensitivities" about religion. Religious freedom and tolreance would be enjoyed by all (inclusive of those who reject religion as a life philosophy) if people were less sensitive and less insecure about their religious views. We are all in this world together, why can't we live and let live without constantly encroaching upon eachother's freedoms?

Wrong. Edward closed the thread to let you two cool off a bit. Please do. Thx.

It may not be full of s**t but many anti-semetic Armenians take his words out of context to support their agenda. Unfortunately enough....

Anoushik jan, I love how you possess such seemingly unlimited patience. It is truly an awe-inspiring quality of yours - and surely one that makes you such an outstanding musician. I wish I could go through the same discussions all over again, and imagine new ways of posing the same questions, making the same arguments and proving the same points without sounding cliché or worse, resorting to abuse & insults. They will try to preach to you, convert you and show you the light - yet you're steady as a rock and you manage to continue the discourse. Bravo to you

Oh boy, we're back to the multiverse... Someone get this boy some more illicit "medication"

yeah - i liked that one too.

oh c'mon guys - lighten up! It's funny!

Look, there are criminal elements in every society. Why should we be upset/disappointed that there are criminal Armenians? As there criminal jews, blacks, texans, koreans & swahilis, there will be criminal Armenians. I don't understand what sort of yoke we're living under if everytime an Armenian commits a crime, we all become collectively surprised - it has nothing to do with the fact they're Armenian.
