Lately, I'm kind of interested in Quenya, the language used by elves in J.R.R. Tolkien's books (The hobbit, The lord of the Rings etc.), but I just can't found a site good enough. I'm looking for a dictionnary and an easy way to learn it (the best thing will be to be based on short lessons).

Was Rushdie granted his knighthood (by Blair's government, the queen has no say in who is to be knighted) in order to antagonise the middle east, particularly Iran? Why was the backlash not considered, at a time when relations with Iran have seldom been more strained? Was it a deliberate sabotage of the nuclear negotiations? Would this also work out to bring public favour against Iran even further, after the Iranian media portray the Queen as "the English hag"?

Im leaving for two days. Should I move the bed, stand it up on its side, to prevent the cats from soiling it? They are pretty good cats, but Ive never left them alone before, so I dont know how they will react. Will it be more stressful to them if the bed is moved? They sleep on this bed and I dont have a problem with them soiling it normally, but I am worried they might get mad or something. What should i do?

Just make a guest appearance in front of the stumps and rotate your arms in front of the batsman not because you have the skill but the team doesn't have a fifth bowler!Wow! You are termed as the allrounder. Or you may be selected as a bowler and you repeatedly fail with the ball but occasionally you click with the bat..Or you are there as a batsman failing everytime but sometimes shining with the ball.Again you are judged as an allrounder.Honestly tell me is it not happening far too often?

I'm thinking about buying a K&N filter for my 1995 escort (1.9 liter). K&N claims that their filters improve performance and gas mileage. I also know that they can be washed and reused many times. If you use one of these filters, please tell me about your experiences with them.

My 2-family home is valued at 375K. I have 12 years and 88K on it left. My current loan is at a 4.9 interest rate. I need to borrow 220K and need it in lump sum. With todays rates being around 6.5 for a 30 year, I know refinancing is out of the question. Which would be better for me, a HEL or a HELOC? What would my payments be for 30 years, 15 years? Thanks

because it's clearly stated in the Bible that if you marry a divorced woman, you are committing an adultery.

why does it seem that there are many divorced "Christians" re-marrying?

As a 43 year old architect, I've explained in here a good dozen times why the towers came down, as well as explaining the demise of bldg 7. Yet for all of the engineering and architectural axioms I can offer (as well as explanations that I've read by other professionals offered in these forums) they STILL refuse to believe in factual science.

What are you all looking for? And please dont waste your time or mine typing out "I want the truth" because 'the truth' has been offered to you a thousand times and you still rail against it.

My brother-in-law married a woman from Brazil. They just had a baby boy. The announcement they sent around says the baby's name is Enrico.

So how is his name pronounced in Portuguese? They live far away, so I haven't had opportunity to hear them say the name. I refer to him as 'Enrico' since I am don't speak Portuguese. My mother-in-law keeps correcting me and pronouncing it 'Ahn-HEE-cay.' I know a little Spanish, and in Spanish putting the 'ay' sound at the end makes it feminine. Are the rules the same for Portuguese?

I am content using the english pronunciation, but my mother-in-law insists we say it 'correctly.' But I find American's slaughtering the prounciation of ethnic names trying to sound authentic far more offensive than just saying it in English.

Any thoughts? Help with proper pronunciation?
