Arts & Humanities - 14 December 2007

Just a compariative survey to try and determine the different ways, that people relate to these three identities.

Please list two of each: the greatest in your opinon, and the worst/and why they are your choice.

The emperors can be Chinese, Japanese or Roman; the Czars - I only know of Russian ones; the Kings, there were quite a few: any country, region, etc.; just so long as their title was/is King.

Am just interested in the different ways that everyone relates to this three(3) identities.

What is that sad song
I hear out my window
The funeral march
For our lost liberty

The banner draped coffin
Contains only memories
Of how we fought bravely
And heroic deeds

The choir is singing
Glory Halleluiah
Tears of the soldiers
Official decree

We pile the dirt on
As mourners weep softly
For here lies the future
Mediocrity

I'm looking into getting a Dia de los Muertos tattoo. The skeleton is leaning on a wall or what appears to be. He has a sombrero and a guitar. It is based off of José Guadalupe Posada's art but more cartoony. Links would be much appreciated. Thank you!

I have been shooting photos on film now for several years but I am a little lost when it comes to what digital camera I should get. I am looking for a camera with high quality photos, lots of control over my pics, and great equipment for my investment.

So far I have been considering the Canon Digital Rebel or Canon Digital Rebel XTi. Which would be a better or choice or are their other models/brands out there which would serve me better?

Reverend James
Preached the gospel
Passed the hat
Tend the fold

A good man
A good father
‘til Californy
Hollered gold

He run off
And left their momma
With the farm
And fields to plow

He run off
To California
Left the
Boys and Sue and Maw

Frank and Jesse
Rode the highway
Lived and died
By the gun

Brothers James
Hero outlaws
Mighty proud

I know it seems to be a flaming head of some sort, in the cellar, but does anyone know exactly what it is? How it came to be? It is the only character in the book that truly leaves me lost.

I'm writing an essay about freedom of religion and how important it is and I need an example to show what would happen if we didn't have freedom of religion. I'm pretty certain that something in history happened where everyone had to be Christian or something. Thanks!

Round and round…
Round round round until
You’re wound down

Spinning down…
Down down down, until
You’re on the ground

Hear the hounds
Hounds hounds hounds until
You’re water bound

Drowning now…
Drown drown drown until
The bottom’s found

Chicken wire patch job
Holding up my melon
Too much imagination for my neck
I walk kinda’ funny
Like a bear that’s drunk on honey
What the heck…
The brain is all I’ve got,

If I forget to remind you of my habits
As I reach into the rabbit for my hat
Keep count of all your fingers
And the scent that lingers
Come along…
The show’s about to start,

Stand back…little kiddies
Don’t try this at home
I plan to play the bongos with head
The crescendo, Maestro please
Neapolitan Dance, Number Three
Here we go…
A boy, with flexible noggin,

And the crowd goes wild
As he demonstrates the style
Of banging with his head in perfect time
What a joy and what a pleasure
To the observe the very measure
Of a skull…
A heart…and a liver.

Okay, the book takes place in a post-apocalyptic present-day; a fatal virus called D18 has wiped out virtually everyone over the age of 18 off the face of the earth, and the kids have to survive on their own; the plot focuses on a group of kids that are taking refuge in a closed-campus high school and are creating their own community to survive.

Any ideas for a SERIOUS title that I could use?

I have a poetry presentation comming up, and I'd really like to do the poem "Exodus Poem" (I don't know if it has any other name) by Utada Hikaru that she preformed on her Utada United tour. Does anyone know the actual name of this poem? Does she write other poetry? I though it was wonderful. Also, is there a site where I can go to that has a good translation of it other than wikipedia? Also, if she has any other poems, where can I find them on the internet?

1. Back then, the horses shown in the boats would not have been able to keep the boat afloat.

2. It was night time when this happened, obviously the bright light would not have been there coming from the clouds.

3. Washington standing in the row boat would not be very safe.

4. Washington was supposively 44 when crossing the Delaware. However, here he looks very young.

5. Finally, the ice shown here is not accurate. It would've been thick enough to push the boats down the river.

Just some trivia for ya

Do you think that the life we are living now is just one big dream, and when we die, we wake up? What if everything and everyone we interact with is imaginary and not real?
