Wow!

We always used 'hamperutyun' - համբերություն - to mean 'patience'. Persistence could possibly be translated as 'hamarel' - համարել - but there's sort of a negative connotation to that.... Expat, if you're using Win XP you can take advantage of the built in Unicode support to write in Armenian letters. If you're on an older system, you may need to install ANLS (Armenian National Language Support for windows) - it's not very tricky, but it's older and only uses ASCII characters (so anyone using unicode will not be able to read.) Look through the Help forum, or search the site and you should be able to find some tips on how to do it. If you can't find what you need feel free to post a question in the help section, and I'm sure someone will be able to give you a hand.

Knowing Sip, I'm sure he's got a Huge screen. I think the concern is more for dial-up users who are stuck on a 56Kbps connection... (you know some people still use dialup!)

Just to clarify: The converter on hyeforum (HERE) is actually a transliterator and NOT a translator. If you type in LOVE into the converter in English, you won't get the Armenian word for LOVE. The idea behind the converter is to have the ability to write armenian words phonetically using latin letters, and acquire the respective armenian spelling using the armenian alphabet. It takes a bit of getting used to - you may need to refer to the Reference Table for more precise spelling. Hope this helps. Incidentally, in my Armenian-English dictionary I have : as a verb, to sacrifice as zohel - զոհել as a noun, as zohaberutyun - զոհաբերություն

Oh but you can bet that they'll sure find out!

What insurance company in their right mind would insure you, if they knew when you were going to die (& how)?? Apart from that, you're right - you could do all your estate planning and make sure your did all those things you always say 'One day, I'm going to......'

good stuff! So are you getting paid by Sean John, Blockbuster, BMW & Lays for the product placement?

TV show - I've never seen it... but then, I don't watch much TV.

Ok now... let's avoid getting personal. I will advise everyone on this thread to avoid 'unchristian' behaviours and rather try to turn the other cheek (as Jesus would have done, for those he believe in Jesus) Religion, Christianity, Jesus, God - when we begin to mix these subjects with Armenians we inevitably get a fight It is obviously a very sensitive issue. What does this tell us about ourselves? What could this be saying about our 'religion'?

Oh, and I mean that in the nicest way :)

It seems to me that 4-wheeler culture is a big adult-sized version of "I dare you to...."

Fun wow!

Unfortunately it's highly unlikely that we will ever learn these details. Caveat venditor, perhaps?

I also noticed this disclaimer on the site:

Awesome! I'm jealous. I take it that's your basement? Love the stone foundation How's it holding up? Any moisture problems? Spring humidity? I have to admit, that Waldmann's bench is pretty sweet - but considering the price!

Um. No. I'll have to disagree on this one. There is a line when being fanatically intolerant and/or dogmatic begins to encroach upon the rights of the other individuals within a society. Freedom of opinion may be based on democratic values, but when those 'free' opinions become discriminitory and impede the freedom and development of some segments of society on the basis of religion, race, colour, age or what have you, then a line has been crossed. In fact, fanatic and intolerant attitudes are often at the root of cataclismic divides within societies that lead to opression, war, genocide so forth. People having the 'right' to be intolerant fanatics (for democracy's sake, no less) paints a bleak picture of the future...

Just saw this - good job hytga... The lonely planet guides are quite popular, and are often a first line source for many who travel and/or have an interest in other foreign countries. I myself referred to one of their guidebooks when travelling years ago... Hytga, may I suggest that you send a letter in writing to the publishers of the guidebooks. I find that email alone sometimes lacks the punch of a well-written letter addressed to a specific representative of a company.

I don't know what kind of Visa/Green Card requirements she faces... perhaps a solution like Armat's suggestion would be ideal but it would be wise to make sure that her employmeny meets any applicable rules/regulations.

Lol! Way to go Armat jan - it looks great. Hope you get to enjoy it some before the boys take over
