  Jez:

  I like this name:

  The boy's name Trenton \t-ren-ton, tr(e)-nton\ is of Old English origin, and its meaning is "Trent's town". Place name of a New Jersey city that was founded in the late 17thcentury by a group of Quakers under the leadership of William Trent. In 1776, during the AmericanRevolution, it was the site of an Americanvictory over the British and their Hessian mercenaries.

  Trenton has 2 variant forms: Trenten and Trentin.

  Baby names that sound like Trenton are Thornton and Tarrent.

  Shortened version: Trent

  I think it has a very masculine sound and not too easy to make fun of.

  Google earth adds Crises in Darfur, you must check this out

  by needproof in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  anybody not yet familiar with google earth should try it, www.earth.google.com - offers maps and satellite images for complex or pinpointed regional searches.

  recently google have added satellite shots of sudan, where a mass genocide is taking place whilst we go to bed each night in our safe and sound environments (relatively).

  up to 300,000 people dead so far - why the hell doesn't blair or bush do something about this seeing as though they are so beset with helping other people (bs)... .

  I think the U.S. was/may be interested in oil there, but the Chinese have evidently moved into the picture. As we already have our troops tied up in Iraq, we don't have the manpower to pursue the issue in Darfur as well. Who knows what is going on behind the scenes??? China should at least send in their forces to keep the peace!

  I NEED YOUR ADVICE...! How to tell JW mom I'm going to live with my sweetie

  by Kudra in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my sweetie and i will be visiting my parents in a couple of weeks.

  they know all about how much in love we are and jw mom always asks about him, how he's doing, when we first started dating she asked all about what i liked about him, how he treats me, if he's easygoing and i can have a laugh with him etc... .

  so she is happy about us.

  Nos...I'm afraid we can't get this picture out of our heads in the U.S.:

  

  We're still stuck in the Puritan age....It goes a long way here for a man to talk with the family and let them know his intentions toward their daughter. It's amazing what that will do for you in the long run! It's a nicety, not a necessity.

  Kudra...some things are better left unsaid. Just my .02! You don't really owe anyone an explanation and talking about it might put your Mom in an awkward situation. If you don't confirm your living arrangements, she can always say she doesn't know if questioned by the elders in her Hall. (If she asks that's another story! I wouldn't lie, either.)

  Wouldn't you know that it probably is about OIL?!!!

  "Southern Darfur, like southern Sudan, is rich in oil. The Chinese National Petroleum Corporation holds the large oil concession in southern Darfur. Chinese soldiers are alleged to be protecting Chinese oil interests."

  I would imagine that the U.S. doesn't want to get imbroiled in a fight within another Muslim country...that has the prospect of inciting the Chinese government as well.

  This is what I did but skipped the hike!!! I actually forgot what time it was and didn't care!

  The Spa at Camelback Inn

  For $100, the price of a Swedish massage, local residents can spend a day - 6:15 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. - at the Spa at Camelback Inn. Remodeled in 2003, the spa features a state-of-the-art fitness center, meditation areas, 32 treatment rooms, private showers, steam rooms, saunas, a swimming pool, a full-service salon with its own restaurant, and an adjacent hiking trail up Mummy Mountain.
  
  Arrive early in the morning for a guided four-mile power walk through nearby neighborhoods, have a massage, then laze around in your robe and slippers while sipping teas and health drinks between dips in the pool and sessions in the steam baths

  It's located in an area called The Boulders...as you see huge boulders all around. I love this place! The food is unbelievable!

  Are they providing a car? It's a little outside of Scottsdale.

  Dallas got their first April snow in over 60 years this weekend, damn global warming is bringing about all these winter storms. ;-)

  Educating yourself in the effects of global warming would help in this discussion.

  Global warming will bring about extremes in weather....We broke the all time record for cold temps in April, where I live in the South. We've had 80 degree days for about a month...also breaking records.
