Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

      • USA International Ballet Competition Announces 2006 Winners

        USA International Ballet Competition Announces 2006 Winners
        By Vivien Schweitzer
        06 Jul 2006



        The USA International Ballet Competition in Jackson, Mississippi, considered one of the most important ballet contests on the international circuit, presented awards to its 2006 medalists on July 1.

        In the men's senior division, Daniil Simkin from Germany won the gold medal, the American Brooklyn Mack took silver and American Joseph Gatti and Japanese Masayoshi Onuki tied for bronze. In the women's senior division, Misa Kuranaga from Japan won gold, Jurgita Dronina from Lithuania placed second and Yui Yonezawa from Japan won the bronze medal.




        The prize for Best Couple was awarded to the Armenian pair Davit Karapetyan and Vanessa Zahorian.

        The medalists in the junior division were Isaac Hernandez of Mexico, men's gold; Sae-Eun Park of North Korea, women's silver; Denys Cherevychko of Ukraine, men's silver; Jeffrey Cirio of the United States, men's bronze; and Kayo Sasabe of Japan and Christine Shevchenko of the United States, tied for women's bronze. No women's gold was awarded.

        "I thought this was a phenomenal competition. I had to keep myself from applauding or yelling 'bravo,'" said Bruce Marks, chairman of the event and director of the Orlando Ballet in Florida. "By competing in the USA IBC, many of these dancers will launch successful careers on the path to fulfilling their dreams."

        "With every USA IBC, we see an intense level of skill and artistry among dancers," said executive director Sue Lobrano. "We're known for setting the benchmark for world-class competition."

        The USA IBC was founded in 1978 by Thalia Mara; the first event took place the following year. In 1982, the United States Congress passed a Joint Resolution designating Jackson, Mississippi as the official home of the competition. Jackson hosted subsequent contests every four years.

        The USA IBC is a two-week "olympic style" competition where performers compete for gold, silver and bronze medals, cash awards, scholarships and jobs. Many company directors interested in hiring dancers attend the competition, so the luckiest dancers leave with contracts.

        This year, two dancers were awarded one-season contracts at the Miami City Ballet: Elena Kazakova from Russia and Carolyn Rose Ramsay from Canada.

        • Andranik Teymourian will be joining Bolton on Trial




          "TEHRAN: Rising Iranian star Andranik Teymourian will be joining English Premier League club Bolton Wanderers on trial, announced his club Abo Moslem on Tuesday. The talented 23-year-old midfielder received a slew of offers after his impressive performance for Team Melli in the World Cup.

          We received offers from several clubs in Qatar, Turkey, Bundesliga and Bolton, a club spokesman told www.the-afc.com. But we decided in favour of Bolton as they gave the highest offer.

          We also prefer to see him play with a European club.

          If Teymourian, who is of Armenian descent, gets the vote from Bolton coach Sam Allardyce he could find himself stepping into the Asian shoes of Japanese Hidetoshi Nakata, who announced his retirement from professional football on Tuesday.

          The only hitch, if any, is that Teymourian has appeared just eight times for Iran so far and FA regulations state that a player is eligible to join an EPL club only if he has appeared at least 70 per cent in two years for the national team. But a way out is to lodge an appeal with the appeals committee. Bolton finished eighth in the standings last season."

          • Armenians of Lebanon

            This is a brief background on Lebanese Armenians and I felt it was appropriate to post this considering what is happening today in Lebanon. This latest conflict may signal the end of a significant Armenian presence there.

            Armenians of Lebanon


            The Armenians of Lebanon are Lebanese citizens of Armenian descent. There has been an Armenian presence in Lebanon for centuries. While there has not been a census for a few decades, because the balance between Christians and Muslims is considered to be a volatile subject, it is estimated that there are between 175,000 to 250,000 Armenians in Lebanon. Prior to the war, that number was estimated to be around 350,000.
            [edit]
            History

            Armenians first established contact with Lebanon when Tigranes the Great conquered Phoenicia from the Seleucids and made it part of the short lived, Armenian Empire. When the Roman Empire established its rule over both Armenia and ancient Lebanon, some Roman troops of Armenian origin went there in order to accomplish their duties as Romans. After Armenia converted to Christianity in 301, Armenian pilgrims established contact with Lebanon and its people on their way to Jerusalem; some of whom even settled there.
            The Armenian presence in Lebanon during the Ottoman period was minimal, however, there was a large influx of Armenians after the Armenian Genocide of 1915. The refugees endured many difficulties and had to adapt to the Arab lifestyle. When Armenians first came to Lebanon they inhabited the area of Karantina. Later on, in Bourj Hammoud, a thriving Armenian community was formed. In 1939, after the French ceded the Syrian territory of Alexandretta to Kemalist Turkey, Armenians, other Christians and Arabs from the area moved to the Bekaa Valley. The Armenians were grouped in Anjar, where a community exists to this day.
            During the Lebanese Civil War, Armenians, grouped in Bourj Hammoud and Anjar, did their best to remain neutral. The Armenian Revolutionary Federation was the leading political party and had significant influence in all facets of Armenian life during the war. Various Armenian terrorist groups, such as ASALA established their headquarters in Lebanon, and used it as a launching pad for their operations.
            Thousands of Armenians left Lebanon in search of peace in North America, Western Europe, and elsewhere.

                      That might be so but Gen. Emil Lahoud is a Syrian backed stooge and very unpopular in Lebanon.
