LOL! I've just realise that 4x4 culture is pretty damn strange...

That's a little bit more recent than what I had in mind, but nevertheless quite good. Most folks haven't even heard of Talib Kweli - but he really talented.

Could the 'boldness' in the front have to do with leaving big blocks of cheese on your head? Great pics Sip - it's a good thing you guys bother carting those enormous jacks with you on your trips....

Nice view Sas - now is that your actual boss's description, or the one you have in mind as a replacement?

Thanks for your input everyone - i think it's time to close the poll

Storms, you should work for our government.

I'm sorry Azat - I cracked up reading this.... I work in a communications firm, and we have similar problems, but not exactly the same. We got a few new chairs last year - I was one of the ones that didn't get new chairs - mine has a broken pin on one of the wheels, sometimes it falls off. I find it funny. We have some quasi cubicles - we have an open-concept office that's kind of nice. Almost everyone gets light 'cause of the atrium. People still complain about their location and who they're sitting close to. Only paid parking around my work - except for the VP & Pres. I take the metro. Looks like we're both idiots Actually I have a pretty flexible schedule. Sometimes I come in a little late - 9h30 knowing that I'll be working late. Well, some of the babies get their diapers in a knot. We don't have true VPN, but those of us who have some admin priv. on the servers can tunnel in through a shell (PPTP). This can be very handy. It's everywhere buddy.... everywhere!

Disclaimer - I am in no way dismissing the efforts by the Armenian communities, associations and leadership in striving for Gencide recognition throughout the world. In fact, the collective efforts of Armenians are impressive. Best yet, our achievements have nothing to do with blaming 'the jews'. May we continue to build on our successes, advance Armenian issues, and develop Armenia as a prosporous state with a thriving economy. And this without resorting to conspiracy theory, and/or racially disparaging policies...

Give me a friggin break. I'm tired of this already. Is that ALL you guys can talk about?? Every thread lately has been jew-this, jew-that. Who cares? Are you all so moronic and one-track-minded that you MUST FIND the jewish scapegoat? Is this some sort of holy grail for you people? You SIMPLY CANNOT categorize so blatantly - ie. "All jews supprt the jewish lobby and their interests, therefor they are responsible for the genocide/genocide denial." Anti-jew rhetoric, and scapegoatism is no way for Armenia and Armenians to attain genocide recognition, nor prominence politically. You speak of 'fighting fire with fire' - I'm all for that. But all we got now is a few matches. Fighting fire with fire, would mean bringing Armenian issues to the forefront in global politics, making it matter economically, and best yet, garnering public support. Your certainly not going to accomplish ANY of those goals with 'jew-this, jew-that'. Where are YOUR lobbyists, politicians, academics, economists? They are all probably working real hard, and getting upset that they're not getting anywhere as a result of a few on-line idiots that are giving the general public the image that ARMENIANS ARE RACISTS!! LOBBY YOURSELVES dammit, instead of sitting there complaining like victims and blaming " the jews" for everything wrong in your sorry, bitter lives. I'm through with this thread.

There's edible carp as well as the non-edible kind arpa - you're referring to the latter. Apparently the edible kind hardly smells at all - and has a very mild flavour.

Carp is a bottom feeder - mostly eaten by asians, I think. They are big fish, breed rapidly - and I don't know much about them except that they are decimating the river systems in north america, and are threatening to do the same in the great lakes. Here's an article about how they can be dangerous. This is a good site about Carp preparation. Here are some recipes, but I haven't tried any of them... Good luck Mosjan.

Azat, I just tried THIS RECIPE for Halibut that you had added to the cookbook. MAN, it was AWESOME! :thumbsup: Three thumbs up! I just love Halibut - but usually I prepare more portugese style, (as in squeeze some lemon on it & throw it on a hot grill). Somtimes, I marinade in a mix of olive oil, lemon and saffron. The key is not to overcook it - just a little charred on each side, but hardly cooked in the middle - you need to buy extra thick cuts! Good recipe Azat.

he was being sarcastic Dave....

We've had instances when deniers have joined with the intention of 'educating' us - to these people, it was not because they were ill-intentioned, merely that denial is all they had known. I hope that in at least one or two cases, the material here and on links found here, may have at the very least laid a seed of doubt in minds. Maybe one day, the may feel compelled to acknowledge th AG.

Um - it's kind of true. Now we expect them to always win. Hope that doesn't put any pressure on the little fellas....

how bizarre....

I disagree with an 'automatic' ban - we are not a facist society. Trolls, however are a different story.

Ok. Let's pretend for one second that what you're saying is true - and Turkey is not a continuation of the Ottomans. Fine. Why then, is Turkey continuing to deny the Genocide today? Why are the Turks using political pressure on their allies to continure the lies? Why is their a systematic cultural genocide continuing today to eradict the 'memory' of Armenians from the Turkish mindset? Why is there no mention of the AG in Turkish textbooks? Why are Turikish scholars (and only Turkish scholars) continuing to 'research' and publish material that supposed support their denialist postition? If what you're saying is true, that Turkey would have no reason to continue their denialist campaign. In fact, the best course of strategy would be for them to acknowledge the Genocide and condemn the Ottoman's/Young Turks who perpetrated the crimes as it would likely open new doors politically for the 'Modern' Turkey. So you see now, the argument that "Turkey&Ottoman do not equate" fails.

No, no, cut it out guys. You're not being fair. He's using a G4 cube - they haven't made them in a few years, so he's running OS9 - that's an old OS. With OSX he'll easily be able to see all the unicode fonts and even surf/work faster... Keep this up and I'll come down there just to kick all of your butts!

Juggs - i think the reason why most of us are a bit peeved, is that ANZAC day news pre-empted AG event coverage in most world media (ie. reuters, bbc, etc) on APRIL 24th! Here they are talking about raising the turkish flag to join australia's etc, etc. on APRIL 24th!! They could have waited one blasted day.

What's the processor speed? How much memory? I agree with Domino - you should be running OSX 10.3 (panther) has been running very stable for me. You may need to do a few things to optimaize your cube - but we'll wait until to install OSX before we give you some advice....

Cool! This was new to me - I hdan't seen/heard of the video. Not too bad at all

That's disgusting!

This is a sad day - we are now playing Turkey's game. I'm reticent that what lies (um, no pun intended) in Turkey's state archives is of credible origin. Their newly 'opened' archives will certainly support their point of view and the fallacies that they have 'documented' in the past. Only with an objective, internationally renown (and unbiased) team of historians can this proposal possibly succeed - and with Turkey's bid to join the EU at stake, I can hardly see how this is possible.

Hello. This is new Google Print?? Wow! That's pretty darn spanky! Google has done it again (yet again!) Thanks for that link Vayri...
