Not quite. Ptolemy II wanted all of the hebrew scriptures written down in greek for the library in Alexandria. This greek translation of the hebrew scriptures is known as the septuagint. How this is mainly different is that the septuagint includes 7 more books than the hebrew old testament...
This. The texts we have now are remarkably accurate to the oldest manuscripts available, which are far more plentiful and originate closer to the events described within them than the Iliad or the writings of Plato. Not to mention the bible is probably the most scrutinized collection of books...
You're not alone in that thinking, nor is it mutually exclusive to religion/metaphysics. Plato, Aristotle, and St. Thomas Aquinas would refer to our Big Bang as the First Cause.
AFAIK, the bill makes union government employees pay 5.8% into their pension plans (non-union already pay 6.3%), and 12.6% of their health insurance premiums, both of which are about half as much as private, non-government workers pay. It's also helpful to know that these union government...
You can get a schecter omen 7 pretty cheap, and like Konfyouzd said, the necks aren't that bad. As a plus, the stock pickups on the cheapo omen sound pretty good, imo. All in all, a good entry instrument for 7's.
I notice this too, of course when you recommended them a 7 they recoiled in nu-metal horror. /rolleyes I noticed a lot of hardcore bands used drop-C, a few melodeath bands use B-standard or Bb-standard, I'm thinking, why don't you guys just use 7's? :scratch:
I have the basic Omen 7 and I agree about the cutaway. The pickups though are the best stock pups I've heard. First thing I usually do is rip out the stock pups and put SD's in, except with this guitar. Aftermarket pickups would obviously be better but I have to admit that the stock passives...
I don't blame immigrants at all. Our country was founded on immigrants. I blame those that steal entry into this country thumbing their nose at the law and the people who persevered to get here legally and respect the law, and on top of it all I get more money taken from my paycheck as a result...
Precisely. I dunno how many know this but Az has over a $1.7bil deficit, and the largest deficit to spending ratio in America. It costs $1.3 bil per year for the education, medical care, and incarceration of illegal immigrants here. Police chiefs should definitely pay attention to this because...
It's not even that, a cop cannot question legal status unless the person broke the law first. He can't just walk up and demand ID solely because he thinks a person's here illegally. The person must have broken the law prior, THEN the officer can question legal status. No different than if a cop...
QFT. And to the critics that have zero first-hand experience with why illegal immigration is such a problem, I suggest reading the bill and not taking soundbytes as actual legislation. http://www.azleg.gov/legtext/49leg/2r/bills/sb1070s.pdf
Trashing a guitar on stage is so incredibly cliche. Not to mention a waste of a guitar. And I must agree with the rest of the thread; take better care of your gear. You're lucky it broke at practice and not at a show. Although that would have been funny as hell.
