It would $10 extra dollars onto of the current fee.
2. How much does a cubic foot of snow weigh? How much does a cubic foot of ice weigh? Why is this important? Page A2 "New England roofs fail..."
A cubic foot of snow weighs 8 pounds but a cubic foot of ice weighs around 64 pounds. As snow falls on rooftops in England, they turn into ice and grow heavier. This increases the amount of rooftops collapsing on homes, buildings, and various structures.
3. What is the political cartoon by Dana Summers on page A11 trying to say, in your opinion?
To me, the trainer looks like our president and the wrestler he has been "training" is all of the Us or its military. The rather large, muscular one represents ISIS- a horrible terrorist group that has been threatening the US for quite some time now. In all, the cartoon is saying our weak president is kinda just saying we're "prepared to fight this big danger when really… we're not. We have no leadership nor guidance from our president and from the looks of our scrawny, older Uncle Bill we don't have a very good chance of winning these three matches. Not one match! Three.
4. What are some of the objects that Maureen Gilman added to her garden to give it more of a "family" feel? Page SA3 "Artifacts added to..."
(This was a very interesting article by the way.) Some of the artifacts Mrs.Gilman used were some metal landscape decorations, a wagon wheel, a battered anvil, and petal-like blades of a windmill.
5. What was the primary mode of advertising for music clubs in Austin's past AND which of the 8 pictured was your favorite? Page D1 (Austin 360) "Homegrown"
The primary mode was to forget the uncensored blast via social media and focus on art posters that would be plastered around the city. (I LOVE this idea so much. I can't tell you how much social media is such a pain in my ass and art is an expressive way to catch attention for music.) My favorite poster was the Gilbert Shelton one for its sixties/seventies style and hope the words kind of flow with the texture. I also liked the Willie Nelson one because, gosh, Willie is just awesome. :)
Short Answer:
The lead story in the Statesman today is about same-sex marriage. Please read the first part of the story on Page 1, if you want to read the entire story please do, but you don't need it to answer the question below.
What do you think about same-sex marriage? Should it be legal? Should a man be able to marry another man, or a woman to marry another woman? WHY or WHY NOT?
Wow, talk about controversy! This is definitely something I've thought about for a long time. Since the issue surfaced I've been thinking about it and trying to find where I stand. I'm the type of person who wants everyone to be themselves. I want people to do what makes them happy, what puts a smile on their face and make their hearts bloom and beat. If same sex couples want to be married for this to happen then I'm all for it. But then there is the fact that marriage has always been a special thing between a man and a woman only. The breaking of that rule begins to bend the definition of marriage. Oh, and then there's freedom which we are pleased with in this country and that comes up in these arguments as well… And sometimes I wonder if there could be an alternative solution we can create that is similar to marriage for same sex couples without angering the ones who stand for keeping the definition of marriage how it has always been.
In the end, everyone deserves to be happy and to be with their significant other. Love is a precious, fragile thing. It needs to be dealt with carefully and with lots of thought. So… I don't think I've found where I stand in this argument. But I will say my wish is for everyone to be content and pleased with the one they love. Because no matter what the sexuality, race, age, or gender of someone they deserve the same treatment and privileges the person next to them does.
