It exists and always has done worldwide. Often it is used to clear someone wrongly convicted of a crime. But different states apply different meanings. Some states operate pardon systems on the basis that in being pardoned, you are being declared innocent, others that you were guilty but are being forgiven. The power to pardon is a standard power of an executive almost everywhere and always has done. There is nothing abnormal or strange about it. FearÉIREANN 00:05 19 Jul 2003 (UTC)

I met a man the other day whose surname is Souliere, which suggests that perhaps an ancestor was a cobbler. "No", he said,"the word 'souliere' is not in the dictionary." - and he's right. So I went to google and entered "souliere" and came up with a genealogy site which led to Quebec.
Question:Is souliere a French-Canadian coinage, meaning cobbler? I bet that it is, but I couldn't find an appropriate dictionary.
ss: stonetps@AOL.com
In Quebec, souliere is a synonym for chaussure (Eng. "shoe"). It can show up in these specific uses:

You can find around 17 variations on the name in the list of places in France, with the closest being the village of Soulieres near Epernay.
My aunt (sadly now deceased) had come back from Quebec with some info about the family having been brought over with the Carrigans, which may imply some irish connection, perhaps leftover normans. Getting irish translations is all but impossible for me, but I've been told it's related to some bandits, back when.
During treks across the US, I've tripped over a reference to a Mr. Souliere in St Charles MO who was among the last surviving families from the french settlement there.
Another mysterious reference pops up with Mary Souliere, who was a prominent Cree.
Not having time nor wealth enough to fully explore it, I remain happy with these and other odd explanations; more fun to imagine that there may have been some excitement in the past than to spend a lot of time only to discover the whole family was unremarkable (as Andy Warhol pointed out "in the future" - so I guess I'll have to wait it out)
Could someone please explain how the vast majority of souls can "only go to that reforming place" for a short while, while the reward of an afterlife with God is not guaranteed.
According to the Kabbalah, (not a universally-accepted work) G-d judges who has followed His commandments and who doesn't and to what extent. Those who do not "pass the test" go to a purifying place called Sheol lit. gloom (sometimes called Purgatory, sometimes called Hell) to "learn their lesson". There is , however, for the most part, no eternal damnation. The vast majority of souls can only go to that refoming place for a limited amount of time (less than one year).
The concept of "life after death" in the Jewish view is therefore fuzzy, but whatever its nature, is a reward from God, not a punishment, and is not guaranteed to everyone. Jews are encouraged to concentrate more on the life they live now than on a possible afterlife, and to ritually remember (yizkor) those loved ones who have died, as an important (and possibly the only) form of continuation for their lives.

Subject: Questions about ozone and the ozonelayer.
My first visit to the villagepump. I am Frans, an old dutchman with a very inquisitive mind. Shortly I got access to internet and that was reason for me to visit several encyclopedia, looking for information about above mebtioned subjects. I am very astonished about the controversial statements i met and are now looking for someone who can and will explain things to me.
Now for the first problems. According to the Columbia, the Brittanica, the Encarta and also Wikipedia; Ozone is formed by the action of ultraviolet light (UV) on oxygen. Ultraviolet light is absorbed when it strikes an ozone molecule (see Columbia); the molecule is split into atomoc and diatomoc oxigen, Later in the presence of a catalyst, the atomic and diatomic oxygen reunite to form oxygen.
So, as long as there is oxygen ozone is formed. And, UV is absorbed by splitting ozone molecules. The ozone is recycled. The impossible conclusion is, that the amount of oxygen increases. So why bother about depletion af the ozonelaer bij certain chemical compounds?
I have more questions including the some marked 'energie'but enough for now.

For wikipedia editions that use syllabic or logographic writing systems (chinese, japanese, korean, etc.), how are entries sorted? Languages that use the latin alphabet are ordered according to their first letter, followed by their second letter, etc. Therefore, "aardvark" comes before "artist" which comes before "justice". How are entries ordered for logographic systems and syllabaries? Do the characters in those kinds of alphabets (ex. Hanja and Kanji) have a specified order like the ABC... ordering for languages using the Latin alphabet? -- Zeke

When registering for Hotmail or Yahoo-mail or using PayPal, they show you images where words look like they are under a river, and you must re-type the picture-words out. It's for anti-counterfeiting. What are they called? There is a WP article on it, but I forgot where it is. -- Menchi 01:20, 25 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Subject: Questions about ozone and the ozonelayer.
My first visit to the villagepump. I am Frans, an old dutchman with a very inquisitive mind. Shortly I got access to internet and that was reason for me to visit several encyclopedia, looking for information about above mebtioned subjects. I am very astonished about the controversial statements i met and are now looking for someone who can and will explain things to me.
Now for the first problems. According to the Columbia, the Brittanica, the Encarta and also Wikipedia; Ozone is formed by the action of ultraviolet light (UV) on oxygen. Ultraviolet light is absorbed when it strikes an ozone molecule (see Columbia); the molecule is split into atomoc and diatomoc oxigen, Later in the presence of a catalyst, the atomic and diatomic oxygen reunite to form oxygen.
So, as long as there is oxygen ozone is formed. And, UV is absorbed by splitting ozone molecules. The ozone is recycled. The impossible conclusion is, that the amount of oxygen increases. So why bother about depletion af the ozonelaer bij certain chemical compounds?
I have more questions including the some marked 'energie'but enough for now.

For wikipedia editions that use syllabic or logographic writing systems (chinese, japanese, korean, etc.), how are entries sorted? Languages that use the latin alphabet are ordered according to their first letter, followed by their second letter, etc. Therefore, "aardvark" comes before "artist" which comes before "justice". How are entries ordered for logographic systems and syllabaries? Do the characters in those kinds of alphabets (ex. Hanja and Kanji) have a specified order like the ABC... ordering for languages using the Latin alphabet? -- Zeke
