Telenovelas tend to be "more" or "less" than American soap operas--more sex, more color, less clothes, less plot... that is a fairly biased opinion, but I have seen some and do speak Spanish.
Some think he was born in April. The whole thing with the shepherds may well indicate a winter date because they were multiples near a single village. This is considered by some to indicate a winter feeding situation rather than a summer / wide-ranging situation. The April date fits decently as well but no more so (necessarily) than the winter date. Yes, I know, April fits well because of Passover possibilities and the need for additional sacrificial animals among other reasons, hurrah.
hardly see the problem here given the long standing tradition of having royal families come in from other countries to rule England (not presently, but in recent history).
It seems to me that we blame one man entirely too often. The fault of a nation with huge debt is found in its people, be they Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians, Greens, blues or pinks, etc. Bush was the "leader" but then so was Obama at the time... Bill Clinton before, and Bush and Reagan before that--history doesn't start over every four years and a nation of some 300 million people requires lots of cogs to get to where it is today. Some of those cogs have a big impact while others merely work in tandem with other small ones.
We are all responsible for the debt of our nation, for the actions of our representative government, and for where our children will be in five, ten, or fifty years from now. I frankly liked having a divided government as no one party has all the answers. I hope that a lack of one over the next two years minimum won't be too much of a problem.
As a US citizen, I approve of a law protecting US citizens from trial for actions committed at the behest of the US government. Should the US government be held accountable for its actions? Yes, but this must be done by its own people since as far as I know, there are no nations with a completely clean nose.
and this is why... root error is problematic in dealing with the meaning of words in foreign languages... or even in our own.
By your logic, "parkway" should be a place you park your car.
Sure, it literally means "good gift" just as "de nada" literally means "of nothing," but when translated idiomatically, we get "thanksgiving" and "you're welcome"
so the only thing left is a fuzzy warm blanket, but some people drink coffee while using one, so I am going to have to change my opinion to 27 being the opposite of coffee as it is my wife's favorite number and she hates the stuff.
. and this is why I should not be so quick to press submit after hitting preview . but hey, if i effectively. communicated, I guess. it doesn't matter. where i put the period
It seems to me that since one of the characteristics of human (vs. other) language is that it is fluid and dynamic. As such, it seems to me that I can verb all the nouns I want even if I choose to use strange ways of doing so provided that I still communicate with people effectively.
I want to know which turtle we're on--is it the one on top or are we wedged somewhere in the middle... if there is a middle, as I recall, it's turtles all the way down.
Clear sealable glass didn't exist for quite some time, the Romans/Egyptians used it for mosaics and jade-like jars most of the time and even wine was usually put into bags made of treated animal matter if you go back far enough.
what then is science? I thought it involved testing hypotheses about the way things are in reality. You have to have a basis for interpreting your data and that's where philosophy jumps in--hence why there are "philosophy of science" courses at pretty much any school you can pick.
A Christian friend of mine noted recently that there is a lot of hypocrisy about certain traditions--wanting to take his faith seriously but still comment on the absurdity of part of how some look at it, he wrote the following:
In answer to the tradition of Christmas, I don't think many Christians would say that Christ was born on 25 December, rather that they wanted to celebrate his incarnation as a human and figured a midwinter date was as good as any (with about as much evidence for midwinter as any other time). It wasn't until marketing got a hold of it in the early 20th century that Christmas even became the important Christian holiday. Before that, a number of Christian holidays held roughly equal significance and some even more importance (e.g., Easter, whose rough date is known on the basis of lunar calendars).
In terms of "wanting to drink someone's blood," the celebration of the Lord' Supper / Eucharist is not the same from one Christian tradition to another with many taking it as a memorial / remembrance with others viewing it as an act of spiritual thanksgiving (hence the term "Eucharist" which means "thanksgiving"). The idea of blood sacrifice though is tied to it whether it is a memorial or a type of participation (real or otherwise)--part of Christianity is hard to swallow because today we don't want to think anything requires the ultimate price. All too often looking in the news, I think we try to avoid painful realities like death because they aren't comfortable.
Take it all for what it's worth, thanks for "reading" if you made it this far.
no, milk is produced to put into coffee--the opposite of coffee is probably alcohol or some such or maybe a fuzzy warm blanket... after all, it seems like the opposite of a liquid thing that makes you stay away should be something solid.
don't worry, it's much more likely that cousin X will talk to cousin Y and cousin Y will pay off department supervisor Q and the entire Northeastern half of the country will get a 5 year "extension" for switching
Thanks - I was confusing copyright with ownership... (which honestly is probably where a lot of people think they have a right to file share) I can still at least make the papier mache house and then burn it down.
for those interested, the YWHW was intended to reference the name God gives himself when speaking to Moses... it should read, YHWH (yod he waw he)- unless his transliteration is seeing H's as waw's/vav's (w and v roughly interchangeable here).
the name YHWH comes from a root for the verb "to be" and basically means "the one who exists"
In the US at least, mail is owned fully by the recipient. If you send it to me, I can do whatever I please with it--sell it, burn it, use it to build a papier mache house, whatever.
I would think the same applies to emails, including those that say "only for the recipient"
When I started reading, I interpreted the above as a joke (albeit in poor taste). I am now thinking it was perhaps more flamebait.
The notes at first seem to be correct on the Israeli side with exaggeration on the Islamic side. They then goes into more extremist positions.
The point to which I take special exception is perhaps a minor one in the mind of many--the "leading contributors..." line for Islamics contains a ridiculous statement--The entire force of Western educational structure developed as a result of interaction between Christian and Islamic theologians/scholars in the 1100s and following. Avicena, though I disagree with his philosophical base, was a clear thinker and prompted a response from many in the West.
who can really know the whims of mods--but hey, it's not funny, and it isn't really on topic, but it has that "hmm" sense to it, which leaves you with either insightful or interesting, and while I would have probably just ignored it, someone else just had to click in
Sarcasm in an individual culture does reflect the styles of speech / humor of that culture. Thus someone from Mexico who is a native speaker of Spanish is less likely to get a joke told by someone in France in French even if the Mexican knows French. At the same time, a joke told in Spanish by a Mexican to this same Mexican is likely to be understood.
Humor and sarcasm are closely related and they are culturally based. The problem is that if the tests are modified to be based on people who grew up in a given culture with sarcastic remarks made by someone from the same culture, then they likely have relevance as noted in the article.
You apparently want something slightly better than a warp drive to be able to travel billions of light years out into space with any meaningful speed... unless of course, the moon wasn't created billions of years ago, in which case, it might be easier.
Why do we even post the article on slashdot anyway?--a good headline can get us riled up without suggesting to anyone out there that any of us really bother to read the articles posted before we talk about them.
This strikes me as a bad idea, not because it will not be extremely useful if they manage to implement it correctly but because there are always ways around any detection device. Once word gets out that the London police use this, they will end up having more crime, not less.
There needs to be training for personnel involved in such raids--at least one per team (or however it works). This might be expensive, but it will yield better results in the long run--and you'd have someone with a conscience running the show rather than an arbitrary piece of hackable code.

That this ought to be free to be used by all--I like the free ebook comment but then, whatcha see is whatcha get...
or maybe I've just had to use too much eighties music to get a point across to some students this past week.
yes, I know there is a 'd' at the front of the back end system.
