Your Questions About History Colorado

Sharon asks…

Two Essay Test Questions on Colorado History: Mesa Verde Inhabitants and Bent’s Fort?

First Question: In great detail describe the inhabitants of Mesa Verde in the year 1-1300, include who they were, where they live, characteristics, culture, and what became of them.

Second question: In great detail describe the history of Bent’s fort. Include info on owners, customers, rivals, employees, construction, tr4ade items, and what became of the fort.

admin answers:

Not that much is actually known about the ancesteral Pueblo and what is known is sometimes based around educated guesswork.

What we do know is, the ancesteral Pueblo civilisation was one of four peoples who occupied the American Southwest from the prehistoric period onwards. The name recently given to these people is ‘Anasazi’ which is actually a Navajo name.

Mesa Verde, Spanish for ‘Green Table’, was occupied from the early years after Christ to around the thirteenth Century. The reasoning behind the abandonment of the site is highly contested, with experts from different quarters arguing over the facts.

Many believe that the migration of more volatile and aggressive civilisations into the region, forced the ancesteral Pueblos to migrate further south, while others believe that climate change in the the Americas, which happened around 1150AD (the same climate shift which helped to bring down the Lake Titicaca civilisation of the Tiwanaku), affected the rainfall and led to the abandonment of the site for a more agreeable environment.

The cultural high of the City was in the period between 900 and 1140AD, when bigger settlements were built, long trade networks were established and domesticated animals were kept. Previous to this new period, settlements were smaller and generally were only inhabited for around thirty years. This new epoch brought about a new architectural style which we are left with today.

The most recognised of all the cliff dwellings of the Pueblos is the ‘Cliff Palace’, which was carved 89 feet deep and 59 feet high into the rock. The use for many of the rooms in the Palace are still a mystery to us, though they are large open spaces which could have been important for religious reasons.

Out of the 150 rooms in the complex, there are many storage rooms which were designed to keep away moisture and pests from the newly gathered harvests.

The growth of Mesa Verde, was probably helped along by the movement of Pueblo peoples who moved to the Mesa Tops in the 1200s. It is thought that this could be due to the arrival of Shoshone and Ute Amerindians who moved into the area, causing the settled Pueblo to flee to the less arable lands around Mesa Verde.

William and Charles Bent, along with Ceran St. Interior view of Bent’s FortVrain, built the original fort on this site in 1833 to trade with trappers and Native Americans, primarily the Southern Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes, for buffalo robes. The adobe fort quickly became the center of the Bent, St.Vrain Company’s expanding trade empire that included Fort St.Vrain to the north and Fort Adobe to the south, along with company stores in Mexico at Taos and Santa Fe.

For much of its 16-year history, the adobe fort was the only major permanent white settlement on the Santa Fe Trail between Missouri and the Mexican settlements around Santa Fe. The fort provided explorers, adventurers, and the U.S. Army a place to get needed supplies, wagon repairs, livestock, good food, water, camaraderie, rest and protection in the vast “Great American Desert”. The famous Western scout Kit Carson was a hunter for the fort from 1831 to 1842. During the war with Mexico in 1846, the fort became a staging area for Colonel Stephen Watts Kearny’s “Army of the West”. Disasters and disease caused the fort’s abandonment in 1849. Archeological excavations and original sketches, paintings and diaries were used in the fort’s reconstruction in 1976.

Susan asks…

In your opinion, is Aaron Cook the best starting pitcher in the history of the Colorado Rockies?

If not then who?

admin answers:

Bill Swift had some good years and a career 3.95 era and had a 21 win season (whereas cook is somewhere around 4.40) but he only played for the Rox for 2 years and was pretty bad those two years other than swift id probably agree with you that it is Cook

For the people saying Jeff Francis that is ridiculous his career ERA is 4.81 and this is only his 5th year in the league how could he be the rockies best pitcher of alltime

Ken asks…

What is the history of the Colorado River?

Just like one paragraph

admin answers:

The existence of the Colorado River was first noted in the records of written history in September, 1539, when Francisco de Ulloa sailed to the head of the Gulf of California and rowed a short distance upstream. It was next seen by Hernando de Alarcon who in 1540 led the maritime contingent of Coronado’s expedition. The plan was to meet the land based force and resupply them. Alarcon ascended the river about 85 miles to the limit of navigation near present-day Yuma, Arizona. He waited for Coronado, but eventually despaired, cached some supplies and correspondence, left a note on a tree, and departed. Coronado’s land forces never reached that location, but Melchior Diaz, on his third expedition, went to see if he could establish contact with Alarcon. By the time he reached the Colorado, however, Alarcon had already left. The Native Americans told him what they knew of Alarcon’s presence and that he had left a cache of supplies. Diaz found the note and the supplies. Diaz named the river Rio del Tizon (“River of Embers” or “Firebrand River”) based on a practice used by the natives for warming themselves.[5] Meanwhile, Coronado (who at the time was near Zuni, New Mexico) had learned from one of his scouting parties that the natives spoke of a large river to the west. He sent Garcia Lopez de Cardenas to lead a contingent of men to find this river. They did find it at what is now known as the Grand Canyon, becoming the first people of European background to see it. Their failed attempts at reaching the river led them to conclude that it would not be possible to be supplied via the Gulf of California and the river.

Laura asks…

Are the Colorado Rockies the first team in MLB history to sweep both the NLDS/ALDS and NLCS/ALCS?

I think the White Sox and Yankees are the only teams to win the World Series with an 11-1 record in the playoffs. But has anybody ever gotten to the World Series by winning 7 straight games? I know the Sox lost their only game in the ALCS, not sure about the Yanks though.

admin answers:

I am pretty sure they are – I cant find a record of anyone else sweeping both the ALDS and the ALCS

Your Questions About History Of The Internet

Mark asks…

How can I prevent users of my computer from deleting the internet browsing history?

I run an internet cafe and so many people are using one computer that its hard to keep track what they are doing when using the computer particularly internet browsing so I want to prevent users from deleting the browsing history (Internet Options) so I can check at the end of the day which websites they visited so I can trace where and when

admin answers:

Implement a proxy server and have all PC’s point the browser to it.
Turn on logging on said proxy server.

Also, use an access list to disable external internet from all client computer IP’s except for the proxy server.

Squid’s a good one but you have to have a bit of technological knowledge.
It should also increase the responsiveness of your internet browsing, since it is also a caching proxy.

William asks…

Where can I find REPRESENTATIONS of THE BRAIN in the HISTORY (internet)??

HI again…

To my English class I will use representations of the brain in the history… I will make an exposition about the history of the brain.

Is an exposition about the ideas of the brain… you now… the Aristotle´s ideas, the Galen´s ideas… please if you know about my question please hep me

PD: if do you want, can you correct my English of this mesagge? TY

admin answers:

There have been a lot of influential historical figures that were involved in medicine in one way or another. Hippocrates established a code of ethics and urged physicians to seek causes of disease, rather than blaming gos for disease as was the custom of his day. Aristotle was the first to say that complex structures are built from simpler parts (atoms). Galen, physician to the gladiators, saw science as a method of discovery. He did animal dissections (use of cadavers was banned) and wrote a book that advised his followers to trust their own observations. Avicenna was from the Muslim world. He wrote The Canon of Medicine, a book that was used in medical schools until the 16th century. There are numerous other people involved in different areas and beginnings of medicine. As for where to find the information on each of them, you’re probably going to have to look them up one by one, unfortunately. Here are some others you may want to consider: Vesalius (gross anatomy), Harvey (realized that blood flows into and back out of heart), Leeuwenhoek (invented the microscope to look at fabrics), Hooke (wrote Micrographia), Zeiss (developed and improved the compound microscope), and Schleiden & Schwann (cell theory of 1839). Hope this helps!

Your Questions About History Of Basketball

Lisa asks…

What was your favourite moment in basketball history?

I have my favourites, grew up as a Bulls fan so the first championship in 1991 sticks in my mind, as does watching the greatness of the 1992 Dream Team in Barcelona.

So I’d like to know everyone else’s thoughts. What was your favourite or most memorable moment in basketball history?

admin answers:

OK MY FAVORITE MOMENT IS WHEN MJ PUT IN THE NAIL IN THE COFFIN FOR THE JAZZ. ON TO ANOTHER NBA TITLE IN SALT LAKE CITY.

Sandy asks…

Which professional basketball player in any pro league in history holds the record for most consecutive FTs?

What was the name of the professional player who holds the record for most consecutive free throws made in professional game competition in any pro baskeball league, any pro basketball league meaning including all pro leagues and not just the NBA, in basketball history?

Clue: It is a very famous name in basketball history and might surprise you unless you know basketball history.
The pro basketball player in any pro league who has the most consecutively made free throws during game competition without a miss led his high school to the Indiana high school championship game for three straight years from his sophomore to senior year winning the Indiana state boys high school basketball champion as a junior in 1927; was a college All American in 1930, 1931, and 1932; was named the College Basketball Player of the Year in 1932 as he led Purdue to the 1932 NCAA title. He won 11 NCAA championships. As a coach he won 10 NCAA championships out of 10 NCAA Finals at UCLA. Along with Lenny Wilkens and Bill Sharman, he is the only other person inducted twice into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. Once as a player and a second time as a coach.

The answer to the player with the most consecutive free throws made as a professional baseketball player obviously is the “Wizard of Westwood”.
After college, John Wooden spent several years playing professionally with the Indianapolis Kautskys (later the Indianapolis Jets), Whiting Ciesar All-Americans, and Hammond Ciesar All-Americans while teaching and coaching in the high school ranks. During one 46 game stretch with the Indianapolis Kautskys from 1932 to 1934, John Wooden made 134 consecutive free throws. John Wooden was named to the NBL’s First Team for the 1937-38 season. It would be the NBL and the BAA later to merge in 1949 to form the NBA.

admin answers:

138 straight John Wooden, Indianapolis Kautskys, 1934-36

and for NBA

97 straight Micheal Williams, Minnesota Timberwolves, 3/24/1993-11/9/1993 (two seasons)

Was drafting AKeem over Michael the biggest mistake in all of Basketball history?

Come on! 2 championships to 6? How could you draft Hakeem over Michael, there is no debate that this was a huge mistake by the Houston Rockets.

Not really, no. Theres no guarantee that the rockets would have won more with michael. Hakeem the dream is a hall of fame center, and its arguable that Jordan wouldn’t have won 6 championships if he wasn’t with the bulls

Nancy asks…

What is the history of Easter and how to celebrate it?

I would like to know more details about this festival.Thanks a lot.

admin answers:

Easter is an ancient Christian festival whose origins go back to near the beginning of Christianity – back to the 2nd century at least.

It celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ which happened on “the third day” following his death by crucifixion.

According to the Bible, this all happened around the time of the Jewish Passover so this feast was first celebrated either shortly after passover or on the nearest Sunday. It was also generally named the Christian Passover so in Greek is called Pesach, in Italian Pascha, in French Paques. Easter is the name in English from the Anglo-Saxon word for April when it usually occurs.

In the fourth century, the church settled on the Sunday after Passover and also adopted its own method for calculating Easter as the Jews did not have a consistent method of their own.

The celebration of Easter in most churches is part of the “Triduum” 3 days. It starts the Thursday before with a celebration of the Last Supper – Christ’s last meal with his disciples, followed by Good Friday with a commemoration of Christ’s death.

Many churches have a service on the Saturday night – traditionally starting near Midnight – with the greatest service of the year – the Easter Vigil – celebrating the Resurrection. There is also a service early on Easter morning celebrating the resurrection but particularly its discovery and revelation to the apostles.

Folk customs around Easter are many and varied and focus largely on celebratory food stuffs because Christians traditionally would fast during Lent, the 7 weeks leading up to Easter. Decorated eggs (these days chocolate ones) or sweets are given as gifts, special cakes are made and a feast held.

John asks…

What is the history of Easter? What is the Christian perspective of this holiday about?

Why did they choose that time for Passover?
I AM ASKING HOW THE CHURCH MODIFIED THIS HOLIDAY.

WHY , HOW , DID THIS COME ABOUT?

DO THEY SAY THAT THIS WAS ALSO THE TIME OF THE JEWISH PASSOVER ?

JESUS DID WHAT DURING THIS TIME , SUPPOSEDLY?
IS IT FOR CERTAIN THAT JESUS SUPPOSEDLY ROSE FROM THE DEAD AT THIS TIME OF YEAR OR IS IT KIND OF LIKE CHRISTMAS, WHERE THE EARLY CHURCH CHOSE THIS TIME OUT OF CONVENIENCE IN COVERTING THE PAGANS OF EUROPE?
AND THE TIME OF JESUS’S DEATH IS KNOWN FOR CERTAIN?

COINCIDENTLY , IS SAME TIME AS JEWISH PASSOVER?

admin answers:

Easter is a pagan festival, which always falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the vernal equinox (21st March). The early Christians absorbed this festival and renamed it when they were founding the religion in Europe (Saint’s Day are the same – religious squatting). In fact, many of the early churches in the UK are built on the site of old stone circles, hence they appear to lie on ‘lay lines’.

Passover is a Jewish festival, that happened to be taking place near to the death of Jesus. The early Church added another rule when deciding the date of Easter – it must not fall on passover. This was because to the early Christians, the Jews murdered their saviour.

Thomas asks…

How does biodiversity relate to the history of easter island?

admin answers:

The history of Easter Island is a negative example of biodiversity:
Once a thriving island, in cause of deforestation continuance of extinction happened. When it was “discovered” by Europeans in 1722, it was a barren landscape with no trees over ten feet in height, no animals besides rats and not more than around 2000 inhabitants.

Linda asks…

History of Easter–Why is it in March some years and April others?

It seems like Ash wednesday is usually around the same time of year and I know Lent is the same amount of time, but why is it that Easter is sometimes in March and sometimes in early or even late April? I am trying to remember my Christian upbringings, but can’t seem to come up with an answer. Anyone know?
thanks for your time,
kat

admin answers:

Easter is calculated to follow Passover which is based on the lunar calendar.

In 2008, Easter will be on Sunday, March 23.

Catholics and most Protestants use the new Gregorian calendar decreed by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582 to calculate the date of Easter.

For more information, see:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregorian_calendar

http://aa.usno.navy.mil/faq/docs/easter.html

The time of Easter is based on the cycles of the moon, the equinox, and seasons and things in nature.

In simple (?) terms Easter occurs on the first Sunday following the first full moon that occurs on or after the day of the vernal equinox (the first day of spring).

In 2008 the vernal equinox will be on Thursday, March 20. The first full moon after that will be Friday, March 21. Thus, Easter will be on Sunday, March 23.

The earliest Easter can be is March 22 as it was last in 1818 and will be next in 2285.

The latest Easter can be is April 25 as it was last in 1943 and will be next in 2038.

With love in Christ.

Lizzie asks…

What is the history behind celebrating easter with a rabbit?

Hi, yeah I know what easter is really about. The resurrection of Jesus Christ. But how did we get a holiday about a rabbit from that I really don’t get it. Anyone care to explain how and why people celebrate easter by coloring eggs and stuff. (When rabbits don’t lay eggs, another thing which I don’t get) Anyway please tell me. And remember that easter is really about us being saved by Jesus.

admin answers:

Rabbits and eggs are both symbols of the fertility goddess Eostre/Easter/Ishtar/Ostara. Her symbol is also the moon, in which some cultures see a rabbit instead of a face. Eggs also symbolize the moon and are the ultimate symbol of creation and new life. The basket is a symbol of the womb in which this new life is carried.

There is a lovely legend about the moon goddess Eostre, in which she came upon a dying bird. To save its life, she turned it into a rabbit, her strongest symbol. It lived but continued to lay eggs. In gratitude for its life, the rabbit gives her some of the eggs every year.

The feast day is pagan and was widely celebrated way before the time of Jesus. Like pretty much all holidays, it was adopted by Christians to help get more converts. However, since the point is to celebrate new life and the hope of continuance, Christian symbols of a Resurrection day and the old pagan symbols mean the same thing. Just like Christmas, we are all celebrating the same thing, just using different symbols.

Your Questions About History Colorado

Richard asks…

Two Essay Test Questions on Colorado History: Mesa Verde Inhabitants and Bent’s Fort?

First Question: In great detail describe the inhabitants of Mesa Verde in the year 1-1300, include who they were, where they live, characteristics, culture, and what became of them.

Second question: In great detail describe the history of Bent’s fort. Include info on owners, customers, rivals, employees, construction, tr4ade items, and what became of the fort.

admin answers:

Not that much is actually known about the ancesteral Pueblo and what is known is sometimes based around educated guesswork.

What we do know is, the ancesteral Pueblo civilisation was one of four peoples who occupied the American Southwest from the prehistoric period onwards. The name recently given to these people is ‘Anasazi’ which is actually a Navajo name.

Mesa Verde, Spanish for ‘Green Table’, was occupied from the early years after Christ to around the thirteenth Century. The reasoning behind the abandonment of the site is highly contested, with experts from different quarters arguing over the facts.

Many believe that the migration of more volatile and aggressive civilisations into the region, forced the ancesteral Pueblos to migrate further south, while others believe that climate change in the the Americas, which happened around 1150AD (the same climate shift which helped to bring down the Lake Titicaca civilisation of the Tiwanaku), affected the rainfall and led to the abandonment of the site for a more agreeable environment.

The cultural high of the City was in the period between 900 and 1140AD, when bigger settlements were built, long trade networks were established and domesticated animals were kept. Previous to this new period, settlements were smaller and generally were only inhabited for around thirty years. This new epoch brought about a new architectural style which we are left with today.

The most recognised of all the cliff dwellings of the Pueblos is the ‘Cliff Palace’, which was carved 89 feet deep and 59 feet high into the rock. The use for many of the rooms in the Palace are still a mystery to us, though they are large open spaces which could have been important for religious reasons.

Out of the 150 rooms in the complex, there are many storage rooms which were designed to keep away moisture and pests from the newly gathered harvests.

The growth of Mesa Verde, was probably helped along by the movement of Pueblo peoples who moved to the Mesa Tops in the 1200s. It is thought that this could be due to the arrival of Shoshone and Ute Amerindians who moved into the area, causing the settled Pueblo to flee to the less arable lands around Mesa Verde.

William and Charles Bent, along with Ceran St. Interior view of Bent’s FortVrain, built the original fort on this site in 1833 to trade with trappers and Native Americans, primarily the Southern Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes, for buffalo robes. The adobe fort quickly became the center of the Bent, St.Vrain Company’s expanding trade empire that included Fort St.Vrain to the north and Fort Adobe to the south, along with company stores in Mexico at Taos and Santa Fe.

For much of its 16-year history, the adobe fort was the only major permanent white settlement on the Santa Fe Trail between Missouri and the Mexican settlements around Santa Fe. The fort provided explorers, adventurers, and the U.S. Army a place to get needed supplies, wagon repairs, livestock, good food, water, camaraderie, rest and protection in the vast “Great American Desert”. The famous Western scout Kit Carson was a hunter for the fort from 1831 to 1842. During the war with Mexico in 1846, the fort became a staging area for Colonel Stephen Watts Kearny’s “Army of the West”. Disasters and disease caused the fort’s abandonment in 1849. Archeological excavations and original sketches, paintings and diaries were used in the fort’s reconstruction in 1976.

Sandy asks…

In your opinion, is Aaron Cook the best starting pitcher in the history of the Colorado Rockies?

If not then who?

admin answers:

Bill Swift had some good years and a career 3.95 era and had a 21 win season (whereas cook is somewhere around 4.40) but he only played for the Rox for 2 years and was pretty bad those two years other than swift id probably agree with you that it is Cook

For the people saying Jeff Francis that is ridiculous his career ERA is 4.81 and this is only his 5th year in the league how could he be the rockies best pitcher of alltime

Linda asks…

What is the history of the Colorado River?

Just like one paragraph

admin answers:

The existence of the Colorado River was first noted in the records of written history in September, 1539, when Francisco de Ulloa sailed to the head of the Gulf of California and rowed a short distance upstream. It was next seen by Hernando de Alarcon who in 1540 led the maritime contingent of Coronado’s expedition. The plan was to meet the land based force and resupply them. Alarcon ascended the river about 85 miles to the limit of navigation near present-day Yuma, Arizona. He waited for Coronado, but eventually despaired, cached some supplies and correspondence, left a note on a tree, and departed. Coronado’s land forces never reached that location, but Melchior Diaz, on his third expedition, went to see if he could establish contact with Alarcon. By the time he reached the Colorado, however, Alarcon had already left. The Native Americans told him what they knew of Alarcon’s presence and that he had left a cache of supplies. Diaz found the note and the supplies. Diaz named the river Rio del Tizon (“River of Embers” or “Firebrand River”) based on a practice used by the natives for warming themselves.[5] Meanwhile, Coronado (who at the time was near Zuni, New Mexico) had learned from one of his scouting parties that the natives spoke of a large river to the west. He sent Garcia Lopez de Cardenas to lead a contingent of men to find this river. They did find it at what is now known as the Grand Canyon, becoming the first people of European background to see it. Their failed attempts at reaching the river led them to conclude that it would not be possible to be supplied via the Gulf of California and the river.

Ken asks…

Are the Colorado Rockies the first team in MLB history to sweep both the NLDS/ALDS and NLCS/ALCS?

I think the White Sox and Yankees are the only teams to win the World Series with an 11-1 record in the playoffs. But has anybody ever gotten to the World Series by winning 7 straight games? I know the Sox lost their only game in the ALCS, not sure about the Yanks though.

admin answers:

I am pretty sure they are – I cant find a record of anyone else sweeping both the ALDS and the ALCS

Your Questions About History Of Basketball

Michael asks…

What was your favourite moment in basketball history?

I have my favourites, grew up as a Bulls fan so the first championship in 1991 sticks in my mind, as does watching the greatness of the 1992 Dream Team in Barcelona.

So I’d like to know everyone else’s thoughts. What was your favourite or most memorable moment in basketball history?

admin answers:

OK MY FAVORITE MOMENT IS WHEN MJ PUT IN THE NAIL IN THE COFFIN FOR THE JAZZ. ON TO ANOTHER NBA TITLE IN SALT LAKE CITY.

Nancy asks…

Which professional basketball player in any pro league in history holds the record for most consecutive FTs?

What was the name of the professional player who holds the record for most consecutive free throws made in professional game competition in any pro baskeball league, any pro basketball league meaning including all pro leagues and not just the NBA, in basketball history?

Clue: It is a very famous name in basketball history and might surprise you unless you know basketball history.
The pro basketball player in any pro league who has the most consecutively made free throws during game competition without a miss led his high school to the Indiana high school championship game for three straight years from his sophomore to senior year winning the Indiana state boys high school basketball champion as a junior in 1927; was a college All American in 1930, 1931, and 1932; was named the College Basketball Player of the Year in 1932 as he led Purdue to the 1932 NCAA title. He won 11 NCAA championships. As a coach he won 10 NCAA championships out of 10 NCAA Finals at UCLA. Along with Lenny Wilkens and Bill Sharman, he is the only other person inducted twice into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. Once as a player and a second time as a coach.

The answer to the player with the most consecutive free throws made as a professional baseketball player obviously is the “Wizard of Westwood”.
After college, John Wooden spent several years playing professionally with the Indianapolis Kautskys (later the Indianapolis Jets), Whiting Ciesar All-Americans, and Hammond Ciesar All-Americans while teaching and coaching in the high school ranks. During one 46 game stretch with the Indianapolis Kautskys from 1932 to 1934, John Wooden made 134 consecutive free throws. John Wooden was named to the NBL’s First Team for the 1937-38 season. It would be the NBL and the BAA later to merge in 1949 to form the NBA.
