My English conversation book recommends using "Thank you for everything" instead of "Thank you for your kindness" when we express our appreciation to those who well treated us. Is this correct? How do you use those phrase in your daily conversation.

I've searched all over the web and read countless pages on exposure, but I still don't understand it. I know that +2 +1 attracts more brightness, 0 has no exposure, and -1 -2 attracts more shadow. What I don't understand is why my digital camera on PASM mode wants me to have an exposure of +1 or +2 when working in well lit studio conditions. I have tried it at 0 exposure, and the picture is horribly dark when in reality it is not. When at +1 or +2 EV It sets the aperture to around 2.8 or 4, and a 1/30 shutter speed, as well as using an 80 ISO. My understanding is that in portraits, what I'm photographing, the exposure should be set to 0. But on my digital, 0 does a terrible job, and sometimes even +1 and +2 don't seem like enough exposure. Why is this?

I'm going to try out a 35mm Minolta X-700 SLR on Aperture Priority mode, and I want to make sure that I'm not setting the exposure too low at 0, because my digital camera says I am.

Help! Thanks!

My social studies teacher used to teach drama, until they got rid of that. He's explained that mostly this year, we will be doing a lot of things we did in that class, like performing skits and doing big projects. Artistic things. Well, he assigned our table groups. I'm friends with one girl in my group, and the three others I'm not too friendly with on a daily basis. We have to do a skit about why history is important, and our theme is the military. Me and one boy in our group were the only ones talking. I tried so hard to get them interested, but they did nothing and looked at me the whole time. I don't mind taking charge on these things, I love being creative and writing, but even when I went around and asked them to each say why history is important, they gave me pretty much nothing. I want so badly to get a good grade on this project. I'm not going to let myself fail because of them, but I need their help.

OK, the United States Post Office doesn't do sea mail anymore -- no surface mail to Japan. How do you get a box of household goods (say, some Corelle dishes and silverware, and maybe other stuff) from the US to Japan for a reasonable price? Do you have to live in a big city like Chicago or Houston? By reasonable price, I mean less than $100 for a big, heavy box (big being maybe like a box the supermarkets use for fruit, heavy being 40 or 50 pounds).

I am not finding much information at all through search engines -- any links would be very helpful!

She's obviously a brilliant and successful attorney who has the ability to think analytically. Does that make you question whether Scientologists are really brainwashed or less intelligent?

If it makes sense to her and she's someone who's good about seperating fact from fiction, does that make you think that maybe Scientology isn't as ridiculous as it's made out to be by the media, anti-religious bigots on the internet and the psycho-pharma industry which is behind many of the attacks?

My fiance says I'm a nut to believe anything bad that I hear/read (he's Jewish). My friend is from Egypt and has told me a few things that haven't been made the news here.

I do know that I have seen a documentary of 2 soldiers killing a woman in front of her 2 kids because she was not cooperating (inside their home). Afterwards they interviewed the soldiers and they said "I don't feel bad for it, I don't have to justify it".

But, Israeli's do have to be a bit nuts to live where they do. Sandwiched between crazy countries!
