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.

          it's some sort of a food critic's toy, I think.
          According to Environmental Services (DES), the office in charge of conducting restaurant health inspections:
          Inspections are conducted at least three times a year and are unannounced. Inspectors use a checklist which assigns numerical values to 45 inspection issues. Each health violation the inspector notes causes points to be subtracted from the restaurant's overall score. Overall scores are calculated as percentages of the total possible points. Restaurants that earn scores of 90 percent or higher are allowed to post the bold blue "A" int their windows. Eighty to 89 percent earns a green "B," and 70 to 79 percent a red "C." Scores below 70 percent are expressed in numerical values, rather than letter grades.

          Areas of inspection are divided into nine categories: Food Protection (temperature and storage), Employees (cleanliness precautions), Vermin, Utensils/Equipment (cleanliness, condition and storage), Food Storage (facilities, cleanliness and temperature), Water, Waste, Facilities (lavatories, ventilation and physical structure), and Miscellaneous (clothing, signs, etc.). Checklist items that DES perceives to be of greater significance to consumer safety are assigned higher point values, resulting in a greater impact on the establishment's overall score. A handwashing violation, for example, would cause a restaurant to lose four points, whereas a problem with the employee dressing room would only warrant a deduction of one point.
          I'm sorry, but if there are enough violations from this above list to deduct enough points to bring a restaurant down to a B (which, mind you, can be all the way down to 20 points deducted to make a score of 80) I definitely do not want to eat there. It's not a food critics toy since the inspectors don't go in to determine how good the food is, they go in to test the staff and see how clean their practices are.

                      Speaking of the five second rule...... Winner of this years Ig Nobel prize in Public Health, Testing the 5 second rule:

                      Jillian Clarke. As a high school senior in a University of Illinois mentoring program last summer, Clarke put the "five-second rule'' under the microscope.

                      First she surveyed 100 adults' attitudes about the rule. She found women are more likely than men to eat food that has fallen on the floor, and cookies and candy were most likely to be picked up and eaten, while broccoli and cauliflower were least likely.
                      Women more likely than men?? Who knew?? I would have guessed men would be more likely to eat something that fell on the ground. Probably no one picks up broccoli and cauliflower because they drop them on the floor on purpose!

                      Then she did microbial sampling of a variety of floors - "elevators, kitchens and cafeterias, labs, bathrooms, classrooms, everywhere,'' said Clarke, now a freshman at Howard University.

                      Gratifyingly, she found relatively low bacteria counts on most floors, suggesting the health risk of eating from floors may be lower than many people think. But what about germy floors? To find out, Clarke dropped gummy bears and cookie pieces on floors she had coated with bacteria, then picked them up within five seconds and used culture plates and a scanning electron microscope to count the number of bacteria that clung to the treats.

                      Smooth floors transferred more of their bacteria to food than did rough floors. But in general, Clarke said, "We found consistently high numbers of bacteria'' on the retrieved food, indicating the popular rule will not save you if the floors are not clean.

                      For her novel study of a household truism - and for conducting what may be the first electron microscopy study of gummy bears, which look "really shriveled'' at super-high magnification, she said - Clarke received this year's Ig Nobel in Public Health.
