I have a picture that my mother found in the atttic of Abraham Lincoln when I was born in 1957. It is in not great condition but it is on tin. I read up some on some of the photography of that time and learned of dagrotypes(sp) and that he had two photograhers at the time and they were pressed on tin at that time. The camera was invented by this man Dagrotype(sp) who was french and the paper was invented in the Civil War.

Then a man who was wealthy can out with a fancy camera and began to make the camera. After that they were pressed on glass for a while but I believe for a while they still used tin because of the paper being so thin. I would love it to be worth something.

Does anyone know about this? Also I do know that any pictures taken of him without the beard are of extreme value.

I am 14 and haven't started dating yet. I will be in high school this year and I don't think I will get a bf in HS because I live in a small town and I am kinda shy. Would it be weird for me to get my first bf in college? Do you know anyone who didn't date or have a bf or gf in high school and how did they turn out? When did you start dating?

I had a 64 drum brake, king pin bettle with a 1600cc twin port up to 90 miles an hour, just like riding on air. My 75 1800cc twinport Combi managed 96 miles an hour(160kmph).

This was years ago but it came to mind just them.

I'd post the lyrics, but again they're way too long; I know I sound like I'm speaking gibberish but I'm not, I swear. It's a bit long, but give it a chance, and don't just tell me I suck, explain what you think. Also, I've improved since this recording and plan to re-rerecord the song. Yes, I wrote, composed, recordedd this. Enjoy :]

to build since the end of World War II, is the logical and only end to the dangerous political movement known as neoconservatism. Although the likes of rush limbaugh, Fox News, and right-wing radio will continue whipping their followers into a blind, ultra-nationalistic hysteria/rage, most sensible Americans are now able to recognize this propaganda when they see it, and they will reject it as the same freakish and fundamentally flawed ideology that has cost America so dearly.

Since illusion lies at the heart of neoconservatism, how will this movement camouflage its true identity to cope with its losses? For example, when rush limbaugh became discredited, a more suave bill o'reilly replaced him. It was the same message, but with a more sophisticated delivery. Now that bill o'reilly is rapidly becoming marginalized, who will be new torchbearer for the neocon party? What will be his traits, and how will his methods of deception differ from that of his predecessors?

I've heard the question "why are there atheists on Y! R&S?" 4 times on this forum so I decided Ya know what let's make it illegal for atheists to be R&S because they aren't religious and illegal for humans to go to the pets section because they aren't pets and illegal for people who aren't scientists to get on the science section.

A pop up came up on my computer saying something along the lines the my copy of windows vista had expired and i need to either buy a new code or retype the new one. I'm not sure if this is a legit windows program or if its a spyware thing trying to get my key code or whatever, so I'm not sure if I should type in my code. What should I do...I have never heard of Vista expiring.

I need a look for my room. I'm 14. I have a very small room, it's 10ft x 15ft. The height is 9.5ft. The color of the wall is green. Now, I'm planning to add an accent color of black and white. And a little splash of orange. The crown molding is the same color as the walls. I have a white ceiling and a white cabinet that goes from the floor to the ceiling.

Items in my room that needs color
1. Bed sheet
2. Pillow sheet
3. Comforter / blanket
4. 2-seater sofa
5. Rug
6. Lamp shade
7. Curtain
8. Photos, candles, any accessories.

My question:
1. Where exactly will I put the orange?
2. How about the black and white?
3. What color will I put on the 8 things listed above?

Color of the walls:

see the thing is,every time something abominable is done in the name of christianity,it's explained away by christians saying "they aren't true christians".even day to day things like racism are given that explanation-unfaithfulness to spouse,being judgemental...etc etc...all these things,the minute they're questioned,leads to "they aren't real christians"...

so by the means of deductions such as this,are there ANY true christians in this world?
