Guest guest Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 try licorice tea... that is one of the best herbals tastewise... vanilla tea is usually a blend with indian tea and is smooth to drink with soy milk... my favourite... esp even with some fresh lemon balm or verbena leaves thrown in... (grow your own ) even the herbs with just a plain tea bag improves the tea heaps... peace... colin nz. - Cynthia Gadarian Saturday, March 11, 2006 3:43 PM What's more...

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Rooibosch tea is kind to the intestines, and tastes similar to black tea. It took us a couple of days to get used to it, now we love it. It is also naturally caffeine free. I would think caffeine is bad for intestinal disease.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Hi Cynthia~ I think that Fraggle could probably help you on the coffee better than I. As for the tea, I dislike regular tea. I grew up with Lipton's around and it never did anything for me. Yet, I do like plain Iced Tea. strange... But I have found that I like peach and raspberry teas immensely. I usually put a bit of green tea in with one of these as well for health benefits, not flavor. I think if you have a chance, try out some flavored teas and you may find one that you like. Peach is quite good for settling upset stomachs as well. There is a grey tea I tried that I liked, but cannot remember what it was.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Thanks, Frag. Sorry you cannot see my emails. I have absolutely NO idea why adelphia.net won't communicate with your computer thingie somehow. Yep, I meant fair trade coffee. I was raised in an Armenian family from Turkey and as a little girl all of us drank Turkish coffee - a coffee so thick with coffee grounds that it was served in a demitasse with the same amount of sugar as coffee grounds. You could actually stand your spoon up in the cup because the coffee was so thick. So, we are all fans of the " burnt mud " you mentioned. Now that I think of it, perhaps the Fragster won't get this email?

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 My family HATES the Turks - bad history - Turks swept through Armenia off and on between 1898 and 1919 and killed, depending on who you talk to, 1 1/2 million to 4 million Armenians, because, depending on who you talk to, Armenians were going to side with Russia in WWI, or the Turks just hated Christian Armenians. This is where the phrase " Feed the Starving Armenians " came from. Also, when Hitler was asked at the beginning of World War II how he thought he could get away with annihilating the Jews, he said, " Who remembers the Armenians, after all?? " The Turkish government to this day denies that any of this happened, so my family hates the Turks but LOVES Turkish coffee. <shrug> It's a little long ago for me to carry a grudge.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 New York Times Changes Policy on Armenian Genocide REGION: U.S. ARMENIASOURCE: NY TIMES The New York Times has recently revised its guidelines for editors regarding the Armenian genocide. The new policy notes, “After careful study of scholarly definitions of ‘genocide,’ we have decided to accept the term in references to the Turks’ mass destruction of Armenians in and around 1915.” The guidelines continue, “The expression ‘Armenian genocide’ may be used freely and should not be qualified with phrasing like ‘what Armenians call,’ etc.” The Times’ new guidelines state that: “By most historical accounts, the Ottoman empire killed more than one million Armenians in a campaign of death and mass deportation aimed at eliminating the Armenian population throughout what is now Turkey.” The memo notes, “While we may of course report Turkish denials on those occasions when they are relevant, we should not couple them with the historians’ findings, as if they had equal weight.” ---- A foreign ministry spokesman in the Turkish capital, Ankara, told Reuters that Turkey has never and will never recognise "any so-called genocide". Armenia alleges that the Young Turks, in 1915 the dominant party in the Ottoman Empire, systematically arranged the deportation and killing of 1.5 million Armenians. Turkish relations with independent Armenia, which borders Turkey to the north, have long been coloured by the issue. -------- Country profile: Armenia A landlocked country with Turkey to the west and Georgia to the north, Armenia boasts striking scenery with high mountains and caves, lakes and hot springs. Situated along the route of the Great Silk Road, it has fallen within the orbit of a number of empires and come into contact with many cultural influences throughout its history. OVERVIEW OVERVIEW | FACTS | LEADERS | MEDIA One of the earliest Christian civilisations, its first churches were founded in the fourth century. It later spent centuries largely under Turkic or Persian control and its rich cultural and architectural heritage combines elements from different traditions. The Armenian language is part of the Indo-European family but its alphabet is unique. Armenian parliament building in Yerevan Yerevan wants the world, and particularly Turkey, to recognize that the killing by the Ottoman Empire of hundreds of thousands of Armenians between 1915 and 1917 was genocide. Turkey says that there was no genocide and that the dead were victims of World War I. The two countries have no diplomatic relations. An independent Republic of Armenia was proclaimed at the end of the first world war but was short-lived, lasting only until the beginning of the 1920s when the Bolsheviks incorporated it into the Soviet Union. When that empire in turn collapsed in 1991, Armenia regained independence but experienced political and economic trauma. In the mid-1990s the government embarked on an economic reform programme which brought greater stability and some growth. The country became a member of the Council of Europe in 2001. Unemployment and poverty remain widespread. Armenia's economic problems are aggravated by a trade blockade, imposed by neighbouring Turkey and Azerbaijan since the dispute over Nagorno-Karabakh. The conflict over the predominantly Armenian-populated region in Azerbaijan overshadowed Armenia's return to independence in 1991. Full-scale war broke out the same year as ethnic Armenians in Karabakh fought for independence, supported by troops and resources from Armenia proper. A ceasefire in place since 1994 has failed to deliver any lasting solution. There is concern over safety at the Metsamor nuclear plant west of Yerevan. It was closed in 1988 following a catastrophic earthquake in the area but reopened in 1995 for economic reasons. The country is heavily reliant on it for electricity and is even able to export a small surplus. Armenia receives most of its gas supply from Russia and, like some other republics of the former Soviet Union, it is facing price rises as the Russian gas giant Gazprom seeks to double what it charges. Russian gas arrives via a pipeline running through Georgia. Armenia has a huge diaspora and has always experienced waves of emigration, but the exodus of recent years has caused real alarm. It is estimated that Armenia has lost up to a quarter of its population since independence, as young families seek what they hope will be a better life abroad. Conversely, Armenia is richly endowed with potential as a tourist destination and recent figures indicate that some success is being achieved in attracting visitors.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 when this current war is over, there will be many bitter, disgruntled, angry, disabled, displaced young veterans. what will they do? our society has to deal with them. they will be young men and women who might probably have post traumatic syndrome. might not be able to cope with mundane existence of a routine life. it seems, a least where I live that they won't have jobs where they will feel valued. of course i am selfishly only thinking of this side of the story. , " heartwerk " <jo.heartwork wrote: > > I agree it is too long ago.
