I have contributed a great deal of time and effort to my high school theater deparment and I have played several leads, so I know I have some talent. At the beginning of my Senior year, my director called me into her office and told me to my face that I was going to be her lead girl this year. My director is notorious for only casting seniors as major leads, and so I knew this year I was going to get the lead lead, where I had only been supporting. The first thing our director does is pick a male strong show. Then she casts me as the smallest female part in the show. At first I was devastated, after everything I'd done in that theater department, to be screwed over my senior year. My problem is, I really want to quit, on principal, but I love acting, and I dont want to miss out. I also want to tell her to her face how she made me feel, but she is one of those people who will never cast me again if I say anything. What should I do??? I feel so upset.

I read this book a while ago and i can't remember the name of it.
it was about this guy named charile who had autism, but some scientists were able to do something to his brain which made him smarter. i think the name of the book had something to do with flowers. and as i said before it's been a while so what i remeber might be slightly wrong. if you have any ideas thought that would be great!

AN INTERESTING CONVERSATION.



An atheist professor of philosophy speaks to his class on the problem science has with God, The Almighty.

He asks one of his new students to stand and .....


Prof: So you believe in God?

Student: Absolutely, sir.




Prof: Is God good?

Student: Sure.



Prof: Is God all-powerful?

Student: Yes.




Prof: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to God to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But God didn't. How is this God good then? Hmm?

(Student is silent.)





Prof: You can't answer, can you? Let's start again, young fellow. Is God good?

Student: Yes.




Prof: Is Satan good?

Student: No.




Prof: Where does Satan come from?

Student: From...God...




Prof: That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?

Student: Yes.




Prof: Evil is everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything. Correct?

Student: Yes.




Prof: So who created evil?

Student does not answer.




Prof: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don't they?
Student: Yes, sir.





Prof: So, who created them?

Student has no answer.




Prof: Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son...Have you ever seen God?

Student: No, sir.




Prof: Tell us if you have ever heard your God?

Student: No, sir.




Prof: Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God, smelt your God? Have you ever had any sensory perception of God for that matter?

Student: No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.




Prof: Yet you still believe in Him?

Student: Yes.




Prof: According to empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your GOD doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?

Student: Nothing. I only have my faith.




Prof: Yes. Faith. And that is the problem science has.

Student: Professor, is there such a thing as heat ?

Prof: Yes.




Student: And is there such a thing as cold?

Prof: Yes.




Student: No sir. There isn't.

(The lecture theatre becomes very quiet with this turn of events.)




Student: Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don't have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold.

Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.



(There is pin-drop silence in the lecture theatre.)




Student: What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?

Prof: Yes. What is night if there isn't darkness?




Student: You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light.... But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and it's called darkness, isn't it? In reality, darkness isn't. If it were you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't you?

Prof: So what is the point you are making, young man?




Student: Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.

Prof: Flawed? Can you explain how?




Student: Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure.



Sir, science can't even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one.

To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it.



Now tell me, Professor. Do you teach your students that they evolved
from a monkey?

Prof: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.





Student: Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?

(The Professor shakes his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument is going.)




Student: Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher? (The class is in uproar.)




Student: Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor's brain?

(The class breaks out into laughter.)




Student: Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable
protocol, science says that you have no brain, sir.



With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?

(The room is silent. The professor stares at the student, his face unfathomable.)



Prof: I guess you'll have to take them on faith, son.




Student: That is it sir... The link between man & god is FAITH.

That is all that keeps things moving & alive.






WANT TO KNOW WHO THAT STUDENT WAS ?

I have a great picture. But when I go to edit it in Adobe Photoshop and save it as anything other than Adobe psd, I get this desaturated effect that spreads through all my photos. The colors are completely desaturated. It's fine under Adobe psd, and I can view the true colors within Photoshop, I just can't save that as any other format without losing color. I have set the color space to be matchin sRGB, I have used 8-bit RGB consistently with psd files and jpeg and tiff files. The jpeg and tiff just come out desaturated. I can't get it to work at all. I'm not doing any modifications that can't show on JPEG, I am very, very lost. Thank you for your help.

I admit it, I think it would be wonderful to be always young and have adventures every day. To be able to fly. When I went to Disney World, I wanted to do the PeterPan ride so bad. Unfortunatly it was a disappointment. I just couldn't recapture the feeling. Anybody know what I mean?
