Resolved Question: i have a question about this small passage?

the website of this passage is: http://www.eyewitnesstohistory.com/dodge.htm but, i'll just copy and past where i think the answer is, but i cant find it the question i dont receive is: Why were the cattle towns called the “Sodom’s of the plains”? "For over 20 years after the Civil War, cowboys coaxed herds of cattle along arduous trails from the Texas grasslands north to the railheads in Kansas. At the end of the trail lay the infamous cow towns, the "Sodoms of the plains", places such as Abilene, Hays City, Wichita, Ellsworth and Dodge City. After following a slow moving herd of cattle along a dusty trail for as many as three months, these towns offered the cowboy a place to take a bath, gamble, find a lady, eat some good food and let off some steam. The towns accommodated their visitors with a liberal attitude towards their boisterous behavior. There were limits, however, and the towns hired enforcers to maintain a semblance of law and order. Law officers such as Wyatt Earp, Wild Bill Hickok, Luke Short and Bat Masterson became legends. " (that's the paragraph i think it's in)

Resolved Question: can some one help me match these up?? (u.s history)?

the ones with numbers on the bottom are supposed to match with the ones on the top please help me ive been tryin this for like 2 hrs now. its makin me feel really dumb Cattle ranchers let their livestock roam the open range in the early days of the West. Hunters slaughtered vast herds of buffalo for sport and for their hides. The first transcontinental railroad was completed in 1869. In the 1860s, young Apache warriors raided settlers in Arizona. Indian reservations were often too tiny to provide adequate space for Indian tribes to support themselves. Railroads were built to link cattle centers such as Abilene, Kansas with cities such as Chicago. Northerners and Southerners could not agree on a route for a transcontinental railroad. The Dawes Act of 1887 provided for Indian reservations to be divided up so that individual Indians would become landowners. 1. Indians became dependent on the federal government for food and other supplies. 2. The US government sent troops to apprehend Indian chiefs and move the remaining tribes to a reservation. 3. Tribal traditions were weakened and speculators purchased land from Indians. 4. Congress waited until the Civil War to authorize the building of a transcontinental railroad. 5. Conflicts arose between the ranchers and settlers who tried to farm the land. 6. Western ranchers sold their cattle more economically. 7. The Plains Indians lost their source of food, clothing, and shelter. 8. Transportation between the east and west coasts became more economical.

Barack Obama, battles untrue rumors that he is Muslim. As the Democratic National Convention draws to a close tonight with Obama's official acceptance of the nomination, faith has assumed a new prominence in the party's proceedings.

Resolved Question: Is this a good short story?

I don't think it will take it every at once, so I'll post it piece by piece if I need to. As a trucker, you have to be ready for almost any size load, at any time of day (or night), and any driving length, depending on who you work for. As I crawled from my bed at 2 in the morning, I wondered what ever made me want this job. I found some jeans, put them on, and dug a shirt out of the dryer. I grabbed a jacket, and headed to the pickup. I started it. I put my Classic Country CD set in my jacket pocket, and turned on the heater. I put the truck in first, and took off. I pulled up to the parking lot where my rig was, about 10 blocks from my trailer home, and parked. I looked at the huge load of appliances that was in the trailer, and walked over to the rig. I hopped in, and got everything ready. As I took off, I put a CD in. I skipped to track two. Hello Walls came on. I turned up the volume, and drove off. It went on to Welcome to my World, then Sea of Heartbreak, and Abilene, Detroit City, then Six Days on the Road. I cranked up the volume, and before I knew it I was singin’ along, glad as could be for someone who woke up at 2 AM. Then it went on throughout the tracks, and after it played El Paso, I took it out and went on to the next CD. After several CDs, and a few relax stops on the highway that I don’t remember driving onto, it was 5 in the mornin.’ I checked at how much further I had to go, and I was about three hours in to a 24 hour(without resting time) trip. I was to drop off these appliances at a Sears, and then go receive some nice of pipes to take to a construction company in Texas. I pulled over at a adore’s, and got some cappuccino. I never got over my dislike of coffee, so I drink this stuff. It keeps me awake, right? I put the humongous Styrofoam cup into the cup holder and turned on the radio. Nothin’ good. I turned it off. I drove up to a scale. Everything went well, and I was sent on my way. I had a relative waiting for me in California, and he was gonna arrive along on the way home. He had rented an apartment, and had no furniture of his possess, and recently got evicted because the landowner sold the building, and they were makin’ it into an office or somethin.’ I took a gulp from my cappuccino, and continued driving. I finished the huge cup within an hour. One thing about cappuccino, though, it makes you pee. Quickly. After being in the relax cease for 5 minutes, I came out. I hopped in the truck and drove off. It was noon, and I was starvin.’ I went to the nearest Burger King, but passed about 10 different McDonalds on the way there. Everyone knows they do not serve actual food at McDonalds. Five PM. Sleepiness was setting in, but I couldn’t cease or else I would not be able to receive there on time. I picked up my emergency air horn (the nice they have at Wal-Mart that you carry around when hiking, etc.) and pointed it towards the passenger seat. I pressed the button. Now I was awake. Ten PM. After 32 air horn blasts, 6 relax stops, and two quick food places, I was almost there. So, I pulled into another relax area, covered my windows, and went into my sleeper. I laid on the bed, turned on the TV, and set it to turn off in two hours. I watched the monologue of Jay Leno, and dosed off about 5 minutes after the guest came on. My wind up alarm clock buzzed a good noisy ring, and woke me up. It was 6, so I ate some Pop-Tarts, and hit the road. They’re supposed to be there by noon, so I was hurryin’ up to receive there. After four hours, I made it there. I still had about two hours left, so I sat there watchin’ TV, and I relaxed and kicked back. We got the appliances unloaded. We, as in me working, and about 5 Sears employees sittin’ on the loading bay sayin’ they didn’t like the way I moved the stove. I hollered, “Well receive up off your rear, and receive over here!” “Right away, Captain Seuss!” He retorted. None of them moved. So anyway, after an hour of unloading a trailer full of big appliances by myself, I went to my cousin’s apartment. Sam opened the door. “You ready to help move pipes?” “Yeah,” he said. He was about 5’7, maybe 20 years old, wearing a medium blue t-shirt and blue jeans. He was kinda skinny, with short, black hair. He picked up a black duffel bag and came out. We headed for the truck and he tells me of the plans they had for the building. We hopped in, and I said, “Well, I got you a home real cheap. It has wheels, though.” “That’s ok,” he said, “As long as it’s a home.” There were no cars in the parking lot except my rig and a red Chevy Cavalier, with several dents in it, and faded paint. Rust covered parts of the hood and roof. I pulled out onto the road, looking at the huge buildings, billboards and palm trees. I pulled up onto the highway, and accelerated to about 80 mph. I held this speed. At about 5 PM, there were no cars on the highway. I pulled over at a relax cease. After I finished, I came out and sat in the truck to wait for Sam to arrive out. I noticed the Cavalier nearby, and thought it was odd. I picked up my binoculars, and read the dish. 5J7 814. I wrote it down. Sam came out, and got in the truck. I gave him the dish number. “What’s this, Joe?” “It’s a dish number. look that car?” “Yeah,” he answered. “Well it was in the parking lot of your old apartment when we left.” “Yeah, I kinda remember seeing it.” “Well,” I said, “Let’s go.” I pulled out of the lot and went on the highway. The car followed. I changed lanes. So did it. I thought about calling the police, but what would they do? At 10 PM, after several worried conversations between us, the car pulled up beside us. The window rolled down, and something poked out of it. Before I could do anything, I felt a sharp pain in my leg. A tire blew, and the truck flew over to the left, and smashed into the Cavalier. It flew over the guardrail, and flipped into the other side of the highway. The truck swerved over to the right as both me and Sam tried to hold the steering wheel. As I attempted to cease the truck, it flew into the right guardrail. It went over, and started to tip. Glass broke everywhere, and I felt a pain in my other leg. I fell toward the passenger door, and slammed against Sam, and then the both of us flew toward the roof. I attempted to cease my head from hitting. I fell toward the driver door, and everything went black. I woke up to Sam nudging me. It had been only one minute. Something about the truck seemed weird to me. I waited for my eyes to adjust to the darkness. Everything was upside down. “Are you ok?” He asked. “I don’t know. Let’s call for help.” I saw blood on me and Sam. I tried to move. I reached for the CB. It was gone. I looked over to my right. It laid there, smashed to pieces. I reached for my cell phone. I opened it, and the screen was smashed. I thought it might still work. I dialed 911. No response from the phone. “Hey, you got a phone?” I asked. “Yeah,” he said. “It’s gone!” I pushed on the door. It didn’t open. I could hardly look, so for every I know that could’ve been the dashboard. I reached for a light. The cover was broken, but I found the button was intact. I pushed it. The tiny light illuminated the cab. I found the door. I pushed on it. It still wouldn’t move. I turned around in the crushed in cab and kicked at the door. It popped open with a good bit of resistance. I looked at Sam. He had a broken nose, and was pretty much fine except for that and a few scratches. I had been shot, and had hit my leg on the shifter when I fell. I crawled out of the cab, and helped Sam out. We looked around. The pipes were everywhere, and the rig’s roof had been crushed below the bottom half of the truck. The rig was crushed to about 3 feet tall. I lifted my pants leg up, and looked at my gunshot wound. The bullet had just barely scraped the skin of my leg. I stood. I climbed up the embankment, where the grass was torn up, and saw the highway. The little car sat there, 40 feet from me, flipped over, caved in, and generally destroyed. There were several tiny packages every around it. I pulled Sam up. I still had the dish number in my pocket. We walked over to the little car, and grabbed the gun from the hands of the passenger. I made sure to leave no fingerprints on it by using a clean spot of my shirt. . I threw the gun across the highway, into the ditch we just crawled from. I attempted to take the pulse from the passenger. Barely anything. I pulled him out of the car, and checked his wounds. He had cuts every over him, and his arm was bent at an odd angle. His face was clip badly. I shook him. He started to groan. “HEY!” I yelled. “You ok?” No response. I searched the car for a phone. There wasn’t one. Sam and I walked around to the driver. His side of the car was caved in the most. I found a crowbar lying a few feet from the car, close the rear, and pried the door open with it. I looked at the driver. He was badly clip, with several broken bones. I looked up at his face. Right over his left eye was a hole. He’d been shot. I heard a noisy pop from the distance, and blood spattered up into my face. Me and Sam ran over to the ditch we crawled from, and I grabbed the AK-47. I looked around. I didn’t look anyone. I heard several more shots, and 7 people emerged from the ditch across the highway. They ran across the highway firing the biggest rifles I had ever seen. And they were firing at the car. They stormed it, stealing everything of value. Then they got a package from around the car. They squeezed it, and it shaped. They opened it, and it appeared to be Play-Doh. Then they took every of the packages, and took them back to where they were hiding. One of them did something to the first one, and then ran. He seemed to be laying some nice of wire behind him. They got down into the ditch, and the car exploded. I was terrified. I looked around. There was a blue Ford Explorer pulling out of the ditch. I heard them yelling. “rush UP!!” One said. “The truck won’t start!” “Screw the truck! Put the C4 in here and arrive on!” They loaded up the Explorer with every the packages they found, and sped off. When I didn’t look or hear them, we ran across the highway. There was no question- the occupants of the car were dead. We ran into the ditch, and saw a white two door Ford Explorer. We got in. Sure enough, it wouldn’t even try to start. I popped the hood. I looked around at the engine, and immediately found the problem. The battery terminal had arrive loose and got knocked off the battery. I plugged it back in, and we started the truck. I drove it out of the ditch, and we went on in silence. I noted the nearest mile marker, and we found an leave ramp. I went into the closest police station I found, and told them the whole story. “Well,” the officer at the front desk said, “We don’t like practical jokers around here. Now just because I’m in a good mood, I’ll let you go.” “I’m not joking!!!” I yelled. “GO HOME, PUNKS!” the officer yelled. “I’m not lying!” I paid mine and Sam’s bail, and we left the police station. I conveniently left out where we parked, so we still had a vehicle. We drove down the highway at top speed, and soon we caught up to the blue SUV. We kept our distance, and I noted the dish number. I stayed behind them, and after an hour, they pulled off the highway. They drove up to an old building, and parked. They every got out, and I turned off the road a block behind them so they wouldn’t look their truck that we were driving. I went around that block, where I could look them, and pulled over. It was 11 at night. I was wide awake. They walked out of the building, and a garage door opened. They drove the Explorer in, and they came out driving a black GMC Yukon. We followed them. I asked Sam to check the clip in the AK-47. He said it was almost full. He started to look around in the truck. In the glove box he found the title to the truck, the insurance, a cell phone, the owner’s manual, and a bunch of bullets for the AK, and some shotgun bullets, and bullets for a 9mm pistol. After looking around more, three 9mm pistols were located. I took one, and the AK, and Sam took the other two. Sam got the phone. I wrote down the number, and put it in my pocket. We followed the SUV to another building just a couple blocks down the road. I pulled over and they sat for a while. They jumped out, and got some of the C4. They jammed it into a crack in the sidewalk. They put some in the front window frames, and they put some in the truck. That’s not good at every. They wired it up to a timer, and hid the timer in the truck. They got into a cab, and left. Sam took the truck and followed. . I ran over, found the timer. Ten minutes. I took every the C4 and put it in the truck, and drove it away, mindin’ the timer. I took it to a deserted place, far from the buildings, and parked it. I ran. I found a phone, and called Sam. He gave me the address that they were at, a home this time, and I told him that I moved the truck. Right after I got off the phone, the truck blew up. And blow up it did. It shot a door about 4 blocks, but did not hurt anyone. I ran. Four blocks away, I called a cab. I went to the address, and found our Explorer. Sam was there, and said they were in a home just up the road. We drove over, and got every our guns. I called the police, and told them the whole story. It turns out that these people have been on the loose for years, and are responsible for numerous murders, bombings, and several hundred unpaid parking tickets. I told them where we’d be, and asked for a little reward in helping them find these fugitives. I told them we would help out in the raid, but they refused. Ten minutes later, S.W.A.T. pulled up in an armored van. They raided the home, and came out with every one of the fugitives. Once they were locked up, I discussed my reward with the S.W.A.T. As me and Sam drove off in our 1998 Ford Explorer, with our new pistols (they can’t let us have assault weapons), and our $10,000 reward, and we drove home. Me and Sam split the cash 50/50. I fixed up my mobile home, paid my hospital bills, and got a different job. Well, that was it. I guess it's not a short story, I have to admit it's not one of my best. I got an idea, and then lost it. It was difficult to arrive up with the relax of the story. I'm not good with descriptions, either.

I don't know if you knew this but Katy had it's possess pro football team...twice in fact. The Katy Copperheads (now Texas Copperheads who play in Cy-Fair) were the first in 2006. They moved because of space and attendance. The Katy Ruff Riders followed in 2007 and played there last season in 2008 and just announced they were moving to Abilene because of the lack of attendance and alcohol sales. So my question is, Will they bring another team back? Oh by the way MizzHollywood, the Copperheads went 11-3 and went to the playoffs, and the Ruff Riders had respectable records of 7-7 and 5-9. And the Copperheads are still a team, they just don't play in Katy, so that would mean 3 teams!!!!! Just cease answering below Houston gosh!!!!!!!!! William K-They called themselves "pro football", but they were more of a minor league indoor football team because they were not apart of the Arena Football League.

I emailed my mom a little while ago I am at work when I was wondering what we would be doing for Christmas this year, my hubby's family is every going to Houston this year (we're in San Antonio) and I would like to go up there as well, I was just simply asking if we were doing Christmas on Christmas Eve or Christmas Morning since it varies with her since she got remarried and every her husbands family is in Abilene. Her response was.... " You can go ahead and plan on me not coming for Christmas until the weekend after. So and so is arriving in town from Dallas for that occasion. He doesn't arrive often, so we don't ever have a chance to visit with him. Also, can you imagine the uproar if we left town on one of his rare arrivals??? She also went on to say how me and my sister don't receive along so family gathering are difficult for her. Ok long story short my sister and I have never gotten along she has made and said some terrible things to me but we always receive along on Christmas. Then she went on to say how she will "let" me spend the whole holiday with my hubbys family. I'm so upset about this. I don't know what to say back. I always look forward to Christmas with both our families, 'some' of my husbands family is awkward around me so it makes it a little uncomfortable. I am 25 years old and don't live with her, she lives 4 hours away from me so I don't receive to look her very often anyways. We usually have a weird relationship as well but we have put things behind us. Advice from mommies? It's my son's first Christmas. She wants me to buy my son's and husbands Christmas presents this year, she will send me some money and I buy and wrap them for her. It's so depressing, I was hoping it would be the best Christmas ever now that I have a baby :(

I'm looking for a Parelli trainer for my two year old and I'm not neccessarily looking for advice. I know his methods work and I'm not new to horse ownership in the least. So please, if you want to bash Parelli, do it somewhere else.

Resolved Question: Are there any companies that will come into my house and pack up my stuff and move it into our apartment?

I live in Abilene Texas and me and my wife are moving into an apartment November 4th. I work from 6 AM til around 7 or 8 PM and she works from 2-10 PM. We need to have everything out of the home we're living in (we have a bed, a crib, 3 dressers, a tv, tv stand, and some boxes) by the end of the day on the 4th, and since I'm going to be at work every day and she can't really lift anything heavier than 40 pounds, we need a company that can arrive in and receive everything packed, loaded, moved, and put into our apartment that day. We can put everything away, but we need to at least receive everything into the apartment by the night of November 4th. HELP!!!!!

Resolved Question: I am thinking about moving to Texas?

We currently live in Maine and are sick of the icy.We are in our tardy 20s. My husband is a flooring contractor and work is nonexistent in the winter months. I am in school but early enough where I can transfer schools without setting me back. Maine is extremely expensive to live in and we were told that Texas is reasonable. I was wondering what the average rental rates are for two bedroom apartments and average rate of pay is. We would be looking to move to the Abilene area. Any thoughts or suggestions would be very helpful.

Resolved Question: Okay city brand name?

Our city just spent an outrageous amount of (tax payers) money on a new 'brand' name for the city, $432k to be exact, without allowing the people of the city to have a say.
