My father recently read an interesting piece about a battle from World War II, but lost it before I had a chance to see it. It was about a small group of Canadians who had captured an enemy fort, but were quickly surronded by Japense soldiers. The Japense thought they had an easy victory, but the Canadians wouldn't surrender, and fought for 10 days, even after they ran out of bullets. Rocks and mud met the Japense as they entered the fort and captured the Canadians. Does anyone know when and where said battle took place?

Many scientists have studied the gorillas and none have discovered them changing into humans. Were these somehow left behind by mistake? Did they miss the cutoff date?
I have always wondered about this.

Do you feel democratic, republican, or independent that our opions do not count. That they tell us what they think we want to hear. That the smear tatics have gone to far. I feel that the reason we are where we are in this country politicallly is so to speak the changing of the guard, The old guard and beliefs are moving out and a new guard moving in. This is what I see and hear ( which I will admit it not the best barometer) people who appear over 65 or a little older do not seem to understand this war is not like ANY OTHER war we have fought, the age group that appears between about 40 to 55 understand it a new type of war whether they agree with it or not. Then you hear the younger generation who seem to be split down the middle about this war. In each of the groups that I have listened or participated in the conversation it always reverts to The Iraq war and it's politics and that brings on comments about the parties.I want a real people president not a politican. What do you want

That is to say, do bad ideas get dropped or shunned by society as a whole? Or at the very least by a general majority of society? For example, slavery was once widely practiced and was eventually abandoned as an inconscienable system; a bad idea if you will. Is it then a logical conclusion that all bad ideas should or will ultimately be abandoned as a matter of course?

My aunt is a professional quilter. What she does is nothing like what most people think quilting is and is actually very similar to painting.

http://www.vikkipignatelli.com/


She does seminars all over the world and is interested in teaching in Japan but has been unable to make contact with any quilting groups there. Does anyone have any contacts for this sort of thing? Thanks.

It's in the form of a letter from Dill to his mother about Scout. I have things like confident, obedient, curious and tomboy. Physical characteristics would be nice too.

I am in the process of writing a juvenile fiction book. I would like to find a publisher, but really do not know where to start. There are so many websites and places on the internet, it is hard to know what are legitimate and what are not. I would like to find a publisher that I can be in regular contact with and not just communicating through impersonal emails.

Is arrogance not a sin? Are not other's understanding of the Bible and New Testament equally valid even if it differs from ones own view? Who can set the standard for correct understanding since all understanding and the meanings we give to scripture is ultimately based on our own experience and belief?

Are we a product of evolution? Or of a God who placed us here?
Literary, historical, religious and/or scientific references are great.
