Of course! I have rescued many many many many animals in my lifetime. Currently in my house I have 1 200 lb. Great Dane, & 4 cats. (& if my kid counts as an animal- then I have 1 of those too)...

YAPC::Europe in 2003, the language of the front page of London.pm.org (and Paris Perl Monguers) was auctioned, and Esperanto was the winning choice. Paul Makepeace has translated the text (see the archives ) and the page has been changed .

The Chinese for "I love you" sounds something like "wo eye knee" (usually spelt "wo ai ni"). The Chinese character for love includes the symbol for "heart" in its center.

Over time Odo's feelings deepened into something more than friendship, and in the third season episode "Heart of Stone" he admitted he was in love with Kira. The Major, on the other hand, generally considered Odo "only a friend", although she did reveal a great deal of affection for him at times. Lately, however, she has started to reveal a deeper interest in the Constable. (It seems reasonable to theorize that she may have been in love with Odo all along, but unaware of it.)

The Japanese can look to Hitachi's FLORA Prius line of desktop computers. This line sports the BeOS rc4 (Japanese version only?) and Win98, living the in heart of a PII 400mHZ tower with an LCD to strain your already weak eyes. Who's next to get on the Be bandwagon? My money is on the return of the almighty WANG hehehe. In related news, BeatWare has inked a deal that makes BeatWare's Mail-It, the "award-winning" e-mail application for the BeOS, the shipping mailer.

Ho, Ho, Ho... Aren't you special? Well, some men think it's a sure-fire way to get into your pants. Surprisingly, it actually still works quite well. Sleep with me. 2 Please sleep with me. 3 I'm sorry for whatever it is that you think I did. 4 What other woman? 5 I forgot to get you a gift. 6 What? I was listening.

There is no evidence to suggest that Ben ever said that beer is proof that God loves us. However, he did have this to say about wine: We hear of the conversion of water into wine at the marriage in Cana as of a miracle. But this conversion is, through the goodness of God, made every day before our eyes. Behold the rain which descends from heaven upon our vineyards; there it enters the roots of the vines, to be changed into wine; a constant proof that God loves us, and loves to see us happy.

My family, my friends, books, music, chocolate, travelling, thinking Ridiculous Deep Thoughts, having coffee with friends.... the list goes on. Most of all it's my family and friends I love. I really appreciate the way they stand by me when I'm down. They're always there for me.

A viewing is a special time to say a final goodbye. Ideally the viewing can take place a day or so before the funeral in the privacy of our chapel of rest in Gosforth. A viewing provides a last opportunity for family and friends to express thoughts feelings and maybe to place a card or letter, photo, small keepsake or memento in the coffin. Often the immediate family may not feel the need for a viewing but consider the needs of other relatives and friends and allow them that opportunity

Unfortunately I can't speak Mandarin at all, although inevitably you learn a little whilst trying to learn Cantonese. I believe there are many types of intelligence and I personally find foreign language learning very difficult (which is frustrating as I would love to be naturally good). I always try and learn the local language when travelling though so I have "basic tourist phrasebook" abilities at Italian, Greek, Czech and Portugese.

Adultery is not treated very extensively in The Urantia Book. It is mentioned only a handful of times, and then, mainly only in the context of evolution, where it had to to with ownership of women and property. There are a few mentions in the later portions of the book, and then, there is this event from Jesus' life: Jesus was confronted by an angry crowd who had a woman in custody for being an adultress.

Well, "Shlomi" means "my Shalom" in Hebrew. The canonical meaning of "Shalom" is well-being in Hebrew, and only between countries does it mean "peace". "Peace" in Hebrew is "Sheqet" or "Shalwa". Now, most Israelis pronounce this name with the stress on the "lo". I, however prefer it to be pronounced with the stress on the "mi", albeit I also answer to people who pronounce it the other way around. My version is the correct Biblical pronouncation.

exception is made when parents object on the grounds that the tests are against their religious beliefs or practices. A signed statement to this effect must be recorded in the baby’s hospital record.

On a certain level jewelers perceive us as competing for their business. At times, they feel like they are being tested. For these reasons many jewelers will not offer many flattering comments. Russian Brilliants? is a relatively new product. Jewelers are very knowledgeable about natural diamonds but are not familiar with Russian Brilliants? and other new simulated stones. Quite often jewelers confuse Russian Brilliants? with the mass produced, machine stamped or moissanite.
