No more shortcuts. Good, organized notes are OK though. “Cite 1 is this source, pg number”. To address your question on CL: I think she was crying in happiness or out of massive thankfulness and love because her sins were forgiven by the Man whose feet she was washing.
Free tip: take good notes. Especially with the sources you use. Oh man! I had “cite #3” in my paper. I make a separate numbered list of sources, then go back later to complete it both in the paper and the works cited page. I do it that way to save time just in case I revise it out later. So that extra 5 MINUTES I wanted to save turned into 2-1/2 hours! (stupid thing is, I cited the same source twice and put a page number on the other citation note. Why did I not do it on this one?!). Oy!!You live and learn. :-
Both. I think you nailed it when you mentioned technology. Although things like special effects lighting, for example, were known back it wasn't known by the masses like it is today. (I think we all know how the sets of the original Star Wars movie were done)I would guess Houdini had a great stage presence as well which added to his mystique. And I can't think of many more "world famous"magicians/illusionists other than Houdini.
If I recall (4th grade was a while ago..I think we were still apes back then :D), a hogan is an 8-sided hut made from ???A pueblo dwelling was made of mud and weren't some built into the cliffs? And they were multi-level.Image here:http://www.historyforkids.org/learn/northamerica/before1500/architecture/pictures/pueblo.jpg
I'm partial to the Wampanoag Indians.http://www.tolatsga.org/wampa.htmlIt's amazing how much history is within a 5 mile radius of my house. There's a section of my city called Philipsdale Landing that I'd like to check out more. Not the area (it's a bunch of old factories), just check the history and why it was called that. Maybe King Philip really did land there at one time. It's not out of the question seeing that it's on the shores The first time I ever learned about any Indian tribe was in 4th grade. It was the Navajos. I remember having to build a hogan. I thought that was real cool until I learned about the Pueblos living quaters which was way cooler.
Well, don't expect me to join in. I kind of..um..deleted my account. Explanation was left, though. I'm sick of the arguing and feelings of anger it gave me. Selfish? Perhaps. But I have better things to do than argue with atheists on a daily basis.
Do you have to shut it down? Just let it die out and they'll eventually leave (hopefully). Lao and greenie are on NJO and there's a religion section there,so if they feel the need to attack God and insult Christians let them do it there. It seems Phid has disengaged from CL too. Maybe we all should. Let's get this board going. Phid deserves it and WC deserves it (and I'm taking Western Civ soon ;D Maybe I can get some fellow students to join..I'll just have to see if it's OK I “advertise” a site there)
Wally, I think that whole hissiness in the animal thread is about beliefs. Undeniable there are many similarities in social structure, but man takes it to another and completely different (higher and unattainable, IMO, by animals) level. The bonus question: is that because we are on a higher evoutionary plane or because we were created separately from animals?
I still find it interesting that they described the whatever fairly accurately. Maybe some ancient civilization came upon a dinosaur skeleton(s) and then the stories started to fly from there.For the record, I don't put much faith in man-made dating methods. Too many variables that need to be considered. It's like AGW - using faulty climate models instead of actual climate data, and everything that goes with it, to achieve their results. (and hiring all the best persuasive writers in the world to convince the public this isn't about Socialism)
Still, he had a photo of himself in the house with his uniform on.
That should answer your question about whether or not he was living with guilty.
Your reworded example is technically true, but it's very weak.
That's kind of what I thought, and needed to hear.Wally, you're not helping my "for" argument. ;D (but I might still be able to use what you said.)"The NEA is blaming the NCLB legislation when they should be blaming the states' and districts' poor budgeting management instead"
Is that called inductive reasoning?What if I reword it like "The NEA is asking for more funding, but the reason could be because they are doing what most union representatives do for the people they represent. (and then with the next sentence throw in some fact such as how much money a particular state got from the feds)What if I throw in non-absolutist words like that. (maybe, could be, it's possible)
Is this a logical fallacy?The NEA represents the teacher's union, so they, as most union reps do, will always say funding is low.Not asking if you agree or disagree with the statement (or that it's not eloquently written), just wondering if what's in bold could be considered a logical fallacy. They only reason I'd say no is because it's common knowledge that this is how unions operate?
