I'm assuming that you've already had a gander at some of the other threads discussing what could be termed as 'redundant letters' in the Armenian alphabet. I like your premise, and in terms of pronounciation, I arrive at the same conclusion you have in the specific instance of Hakop. However, I don't know the written language nearly well enough to offer any further explanations. Welcome to Hye Forum by the way

Thanks for reviving the thread.... Anyone read the Harry Potter books? I have to admit, I've read 4 of them now - and I've been really having a great time! It's no wonder that children everywhere have been going crazy for this stuff. Excellent storytelling! Rowling has created a beautiful, imaginary world for children (and adults alike, I'd like to think ) on par - well, perhaps not quite, but at least comparable to Tolkien in some respects.

I hadn't seen Nak's response before I posted - but his is essentially along the same lines as mine.... sorry to be redundant.

I think you have a very simplistic method of looking at big, complex picture. I can assure you that many amongst the 'lower half of the table' as you put it, also voted for Kerry. Though it may seem so upon an initial glance, I doubt that the election results are broken down entirely upon lines of intellectual capacity/education level of the voters. There are many, many more relevant issues that had greater impact upon the population than your (naive) premise that the dumb voted Bush and the semi-smart voted Kerry. These include issues dealing with religion, "family values" , xenaphobia, perceptions of security as well as economic and social programs. It's obvious to me that the lines were split pretty evenly... and this over several areas.

That's prbably more relevant

I don't think that has anything to do with it... and besides that sort of comparison the great depression vs. 2002-2004 economy - is unjust at best (with differing populations, demographics and an entirely different workforce) it's apples and oranges.

Do you all honestly feel that IQ has any actual bearing in the election results? I don't suppose it could be coincidental?

So then, are you going to identify which one he is? (This Khazizian imposter fellow, that is...)

well well, i suppose it's just a beta. but currently it's off-line

Seriously though: It's true...

Wow - the site's so poular they're having trouble keeping it up!

That's a property of 'macro' type lenses - unless you decide to pay thousands $$$ for a professional quality maco lens for your SLR your guaranteed to have some spherical abberation. That's probably accentuated as your camera is a compact point/shoot digital model, it's probably very light-weight (but maybe the lens is even plastic - I'm not sure) . Anyway - it's to be expected. As far as plug-ins and filters for Photoshop go, I don't use them very often... maybe KAI's power tools might have something (if it still exists - I think Corel bought that suite) Also you may want to ask these guys.

Please do Extra - you can duly give credit for the recipe if it's from a site that requires it... Your recipe sounds devine!

Yes, yes.... but if you're lucky, you only find out about the fight after your wedding os over...

Well it seems my suggestions were already posted. But here are some more - some are a little bit more traditional than others - someone prepared this for me:

My Impration of the day.... Impration???

One thing i'd like to point out - and we've said it before: Mods here are usually pretty vigilant with respect to offensive posts, or conduct that doesn't abide by the Code of Conduct. Most of the contentious materials are removed/edited without the knowledge of the general forum membership. This goes with warnings as well - sometimes the warnings are public - but many times there are warnings made in private. As such, 'everyone's opinion', may not always be a precise method of measurement in everycase. Then there is the questions of 'proof' - in order to make a 'case' likely some 'proof' would be required - which would in turn oblige us to re-post the offending materials (obviously not an option in most instances). Overall I think the idea of an appeal is not all bad - and we will look into it - I do think that there are some potential pitfalls that would need to be ironed out first.

I have some suggestions as well - some that aren't so stuffy and traditional - but they'll be coming soon, as I don't have much time to post right now!

steamroller huh? You've had a good week Juggs, and with all your expeimenting with your lineup, it was bound to pay off a bit. Points wise, this league is very evenly matched, so you never know who's gonna win on a given week. Poor Thoth had it particularly bad this week.... bound to happen. I've got some tough matchups and my top scorer (+ 3 players) on bye... so it won't be easy... but I look forward to a good performance next week.

I don't know - he's put up more WUs than anyone else.

I shut down sometimes at night - but my machine is pretty stripped down. I don't have many apps that run in background. Basic firewall, virus scan, VNC, but that's about it. It runs pretty fast these days - Azat my machine is similar in profile, although I have less Ram and a slighly slower processor. Um. I didn't realise this is a contest.

It's a real shame that many of the photos earlier in the thread are no longer posted. Makes it quite difficult to follow .

Here

Barev Aneta! We hadn't met - I don't think you were around when I joined. It's nice to finally meet the famed originator of this thread. Welcome back. edit: bonehead forgot to type a word - my single sentence post didn't make any sense, so I had to come back and edit.
