I am a nanny to three children. Many of the other neighborhood children come to visit and stay through mealtimes, especially if they live farther away. Recently Sara, my 11 year old charge, has been bringing home a new friend. Like the rest of the kids, she will stay through dinner, though she hardly eats at all. I never paid much attention until two weeks ago Sara informed me her friend struggles with anorexia.

I am afraid I have been insensitive about food issues as I didn't know. I have no experience with children with eating disorders- how can I be sensitive to her? Should I avoid food topics altogether, or should I act normal as if I don't notice?

I figure the best thing I can do is try to reinforce her self esteem in other (non food related) ways. She is a sweet but very timid girl who seems to have a low sense of self worth. Are there any other suggestions? And what do I do at mealtimes

Okay, so I looked around and I found a lens I thought would be best for concert photography. It is the EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM. I photograph mostly local bands, so distance is not a problem.. most of the time I can get relatively close to the stage. Do you think this is a wise decision? If you have a better lens in mind that would work well for what I would like to do, then PLEASE let me know!! Thank you!!!!

these days. For example my car has been in the garage being repaired for three weeks now and each time I phone up to see when it is going to be ready the next day I never get a word of apology like sorry nothing is forthcoming. I've noticed that 'Sorry' does appear to be vanishing from our vocabulary

What do you think and was has been you experience of people saying sorry to you when they are in the wrong?.

Married, attached, any children.

Why would you say you have no children but not comment on whether you are attached or not? I asked a lady this question and she replied saying no children but did not comment on whether she was attached.

I Am just curious. I am single, but I know that it is natural to have these feelings and need to be released somehow from them

How are single people suppose to do this, if they cant with someone??

I'd like to make a questionnaire of 10 questions for a school journal/bulletin. I'd like 10 general questions that will be posed to different people per edition, but with the same questions. The questions are supposed to be general and wont "last" by time or season of each edition. Please help me what the best and most general questions would be!

The due time is like 2 days!

Ok, i've just bought a Vivtar ultra wide and slim camera after reading about how it produces lomo/holga type images on 35mm film. Now i keep reading everywhere that i need to ask for the film to be cross processed in order to get the desired effect I am looking for. I've read about E6, C41, slide negative etc processing which means nothing to me. I've been into some of the local labs and asked if they can xpro the film. Most have said they cant but some have said they can do it, depending on what kind of film it is - they can do it from slide to negative but not the other way around.

Now they might as well be speaking chinese to me. I've been using digital for my photos and dont know anything about using film. I havnt got a clue what kind of film i am using - it is just the cheapest iso400 35mm film that Tesco sold me.

Can anyone explain to me what kind of film I will probably be using and also tell me what i should be asking for when i go to get the film processed?

In 1969, NASA, sent two astronauts to moon and they landed on it.Why haven't we made another attempt? We are now technically advanced than those days...so why we are unable to send man to moon?

What did you think of it? Do you think these new allegations about Da Vinci's works have any truth in them?
