The longer I do it, the more difficult it gets. It really should be the other way around, it should get easier. And of course it does, in one way. Translation has been part of most of my jobs for about thirty years, and that has gotten easier. But the translations I have been doing as part of...

A small church in Canton, NC has announced plans to hold a book burning on Halloween. The books they plan to burn? The bible, naturally! I'm certainly no biblical scholar. The closest I get to that is visiting this forum and having read a little Bart Erhman. For you folks who know this far...

This ruling from the European Court of Human Rights may be of interest in the current debate about the Mohammad drawings, but since I can't understand French and it isn't available in English a "scholar" is need. Would anybody undertake the task?? The ruling is here...

Medical aspects of the world is not my thing. I'm down right squimish when things, that ought to be in the body, aren't, so I've spent my life avoiding learning about such things. However, now my father has taken a flip off his bicycle and landed on his head. I need help and/or resources for...

Reading Henry Miller's "Tropic of Cancer". He uses the phrase avec de choses inouies and, smart alec that he is, refuses to translate it. Because everyone knows French, don't you know. Well, I'm Canadian, know a smidge of French, and have never heard of the word 'inouies'. I suspect it's rude...
