need help
Hi,
I would like to know how I can have the iranian date on my computer.

Thanx,
Nazanin

This is not a dating website.  Oh, THAT kind of date.

Well, I’m sure there are many ways to do it, and would love to hear about them.  As for me, I just used the script from http://hamedbanaei.com/services/

For my site, I just inserted this one line into the template and it calls the date forth from hamedbanaei’s site:

If you check out his services page there are other ways to show show the date.  You can also modify the appearance of the script using html around the script code. 

If hamid’s site goes down, you (and I) won’t have the date anymore, but it’s been pretty reliable so far.

Enjoy!

These forums have been established to promote a thriving bi-lingual Persian-English language community and to promote creativity, innovation and the wild exchange of ideas in both languages.

Feel free to use whatever language you want to!  English is fine!

But don’t be afraid to experiment.  Use an alias/alter-ego.  No one will know it’s YOU making those strange sentences. 

Tips on going to the Persian/Farsi side: 
1.  Using Forums in Persian
2.  Setting Up Your Computer for Persian & Typing in Persian.

In addition to discussing the nuts and bolts of Persian language use, these forums provide space for literary, social, economic, spiritual, political and environmental topics.  And there’s even a tea house for simply socializing with fellow Persian-English language aficionados.

Language thrives when it is used.  It is passed on from those who know it to those who are learning it, and it grows in leaps and bounds when creative people play with it and stretch its frontiers and make it fun for others.

We look forward to those with great language knowledge sharing their expertise.

We want those who are learning to be fearless and not worry about making mistakes.

We want everyone to be as fully self-expressed as possible while still being civil to one another.

To this end, when you disagree with someone, follow the extiAr dArid - اختيار داريد protocol.

Please take a look around and join in the conversation!  Together, we can all make Persian-English language history.

خب اولين چيزی که می تونم بگم اينه که خسته نباشی، خيلی خوب شده همه چی.

دوم اينکه اين text box همه چيش خوبه غير از اينکه از راست به چپ نمی شه توش نوشت!

الان هم داره همه چيز رو برعکس می نويسه!
فکر می کنم بايد right align رو هم ساپورت کنی

بعدا نظرم رو راجع به اين متنی که بُر زدی و نوشتی هم می نويسم.

The Language Expert said that rasul can only apply to THE messenger, e.g., the Prophet (PBUH) and can’t be used this way.  What do you think?  Can the word “rasul” be used wherever?

There’s this book out, called ”Cuss Control”

If you think that cursing is the nation’s foulest and most undiagnosed bad habit, and that it creates an unfavorable business image and is disparaging to relationships, then Cuss Control is right up your alley. Author James V. O’Connor, who runs a public relations firm, decided to write Cuss Control after appearing on Oprah Winfrey’s television show. O’Connor was being quoted in various places at the time for proclaiming, as president of the Cuss Control Academy, that certain swear words were about to become commonplace as a result of Bill Clinton, Monica Lewinsky, and Viagra. When Oprah herself said that she wished she could stop swearing, O’Connor decided to turn his anti-cussing crusade into a book. Part of his complaint is about foul language, but O’Connor also makes a case for the role of cursing in the dumbing-down of language. He argues that in using profanity, the speaker is usually just being lazy, avoiding having to choose more descriptive words to express himself. Cursing, O’Connor writes, “does little to convey our real message or the fact that our education continued beyond fifth grade.”

So, how do we reach this promised land where everyone sounds educated and no one swears? O’Connor suggests two paths: choose G-rated words, or--and this is his preference--recognize that the real remedy is to change your attitude. If you must subscribe to one or the other approach, it’s tempting to recommend an attitude change over a vocabulary transformation, at least based on some of the suggestions here, which include ditching four-letter words in favor of “Dangnabit!” “Criminey!” “Curses!” “Gadzooks!” and “Nerts!” There’s also a suggestion to create your own curse words. ("That’s a bunch of Bolshevik.” “You fudrucker.” “I don’t give a wick.") Regardless of your path to a cleaner vocabulary, Cuss Control is a decent read that doesn’t take itself too seriously. After all, where else can you find chapter titles like “Cut the Shit, Now and Forever” and “The F Word: Stop Me Before I Say It Again.” --John Russell

Here’s an idiom for you: 

They told the cat “your poop has medical properties,” he covered it with dirt

See, the cat’s there, the poop of no value to him, but the second you point out that you might want it, he quickly makes it unavailable.  This idiom applies to situations when you need a small piece of info from someone, and they suddenly make it difficult for you. 

It’s also known as “rent-seeking behavior”
