    Ronneby 'vierundneunzig' Hello Fredrik MALMBERG I am of the opinion that work can begin on Swordsmanship Multiplayer, not with TPS reports, but with a TPH 'Third Person Hacker' SONDERHEFT. This would be the best season to begin, as FPS CLAN guides, Hockey SONDERHEFTE, Soccer SONDERHEFTE, & Basketball SONDERHEFTE have recently hit newsstands. I am in email correspondence with Gamer Jock & writer William King. This realm of sport & the book business seem to me as connected as they were in '94, when many significant decisions about Sword & Sorcery and Multiplayer were made. I am reachable here & also on business media. In my opinion, multiplayer and SONDERHEFT can effectively synchronize this system network of ours: Sword & Sorcery.

    Reference of the Sante Fe Expedition: The sympathy which exists in behalf of Texas at the south, looks to other objects than the mere defence of that country. Texas is desired as an appendage to the strength of the south. They wish it annexed to the union, that the balance of power may still be found on the feeble side of • Mason and Dixon's line: Once let the cry for succor be rung through the land and the annexation of Texas they imagine will be as easy as it is desirable. So reasons the south. Let the north reason otherwise. The Texians are not deserving of aid or sympathy The invasion of that country by Santa Anna, is not unprovoked but It is in a great measure justified, in retaliation for the Santa Fe expedition, which had for its avowed purpose the subjugation and pillage of Mexico. The Texians have provoked the assault, and now they must abide the consequences, unless a fool-hardy and absurd idea prevails, that we must succor these men, because Texas affords a refuge for outlaws and desperadoes for the whole continent of North America! Texas at all hazards, union or no union, must be had to be kept out! The Texas lot was the most bare faced high handed outraged ever recorded on the page of history, to which there is no legal or moral justification, and has no resemblance to anything we know of, save South Carolina nullification! -Phila.

    The meanness went all directions. My 2nd Great Grandfather, Captain Stephen Carter Ragan and family moved to Tyler TX, to escape the hostilities in Kansas City MO. In 1859. He joined the Army of Texas for a short time, however when Texas seceded, he formed a Calvary unit under Johnson. His company was comprised of family members, including nephews and cousins. They fought many battles throughout the south, including the siege of Vicksburg, Chickamauga, the battle of Atlanta and Mobile AL. He went on to be a two term State Senator in MO, and served as Undersheriff for KC MO for two terms. My family still has relatives in the Tyler area to this day. God Bless Texas!

    Actually there are a couple of reasons Molten Salt Reactors were not continued, in addition to the need for rapid development of Rickover's submarines. Nixon was apparently told he would not get funding for both the California project and the Oak Ridge MSR project. Because Nixon did not want to cut off the supplies of Plutonium for thermonuclear weapons primaries, he chose fast breeders as the one to fund. And, of course, being a Californian as well as being pressured by a Californian politician, the Oak Ridge MSR research was shut down.

    The best-spent 90 minutes of this year for me so far! I was blown away when you brought up the name of Ernst Beseler as he is my great-grandfather! I had never heard this story about him and it still has my mind blown. Also, two other Beselers were among the massacred at Nueces River and have their names inscribed on the monument in Comfort.

    In Junior High in Brownwood (in the early '50's) we were given a clean map of the State outline and another one with the county outlines. The task was to draw in all 254 counties on the clean map. Things went well as you started in the panhandle and far West Texas but by the time you got to central and then East Texas the remaining area bore no resemblance to the needed space!

    Few things are as rewarding as learning about a student's growth in a program like this. Helping students refine their talent into skills benefits everyone who sees their art. Improving their ability to express their humanity, no matter the media, is a gift. Salma and Gabe can enjoy bright futures-they seem well-grounded in themselves, their media, and their growing ability to create art that has long-lasting impressions on viewers. They both exhibit kindness, which is essential for beneficial interaction with others.

    People today groan and lament the fate of the native tribes but without question those people were the most untrustworthy, scheeming, violent and murderous people on the face of the earth. They were that way before any white man ever arrived and the several tribes butchered each other as just another event in their day, another aspect of their unrefined behavior. Ghengis Khan and his hordes had nothing on the American Indian in terms of horsemanship, skills, brutality and violence; those traits were just who they were. There are a number of great books in print today that describe and detail the senseless and unprovoked atrocities committed by native tribes upon other humans and before anyone ever bemoans the terrible fate that fell upon the natives, they should immerse themselves in these stories. Learning the truth about individual Indian personalities and about their atrocities might not change their opinions, few things do unless they are actually experienced, but at least the sympathisers will understand, without any ignorance in the matter, why the axe fell and why it fell so hard.

      @@sammhyde7589 Relax dude. At the time and height of their power as a plains tribe they were exactly as I noted. Had that behavior been permitted to continue they would have faced certain annihalation in the face of overwhelming forces, all exclusive of the US Army. Today the Comanche people live all over the country. They are still a strong and united people who contribute to all aspects of their communities. IMO they are still the Lords of the Plains and not in any danger of harm or extinction.
