Please give me a good answer. I need to discuss it in class. I will choose a best answer! GET POINTS!! Honestly though, I have been thinking about it... but I think other people's opinions would help. Why should a person be selfish. Why is selfishness good!

Have the Anita Blake Vampire Hunter books written by Laurell K Hamilton gone too far with all its sexually explicit detail or do the books keep their horror mystery edge?

I work as an editor at a publishing company. I enjoy it and I get to be creative. I've even been informally titled the "Graphics Expert." I really enjoy working with Photoshop, and I know my way around QuarkExpress.
I don't know much about Illustrator and web design, which would be helpful at this job.
I've always loved art. Being an artist was the first thing I ever wanted to be when I was little, and I've always been pretty good at drawing.

I posted a question in Yahoo! Answers about clarifying the Genealogy category, in hopes that it would alert the Answers Team. I have sent 2 feedback notes with no response.
If you have a suggestion for the Genealogy category name, feel free to post it here.
And if anyone knows how I can send our input to the Answers Team, please contact me. They need to hear us out.
Thanks!

i've found a few places online that have extras for film and tv in the uk (i'm looking at mostly england but travaling's fine if it'll be something realy good) but i was wondering if anyone knew how you would go about specialising in being a film extra that only plays creatures like Brian Steele, who played samiel in hellboy was in doom and underworld and the crvinus werewolf in underworld evolution. obviousely not such prominent roles as this but in the backgrounds. i just haven't got the faintest idea where you would start to become a creature extra? is there even any special agencies or would you just signe up to be an extra and have to go to normal roles as well?

I am about to be 20 and i graduated high school at 17. In school I was a officer on my dance team, therefore I was pretty good at modern dance, never ballet. I want to teach dance. OU which is the school near me and that I plan to go to, only offers teaching degrees only in Ballet, Should I go for a performing degree in modern? Or teaching degree in Ballet?? Could I get a teaching job just as easily with a BFA in modern performance?? Im awful at Ballet, Ive been taking classes, but now im not even that good at modern? HELP!!

No, there's no more. That's the question - open to your interpretation.

I run a nonprofit arts presenting organization w/ an annual operations budget of about ½ million. Our earned to unearned income ratio is 55 / 45%. I have a terrific group of volunteers that are pretty dedicated when it comes to going out and beating the bushes for $50 to $100 donations from individuals. My experience however, has been that in the wake of 9-11 and more recently, last year’s tsunami and hurricane Katrina, charitable giving to arts programming has dropped significantly. Furthermore, over the last couple of years, the efforts of my committee have begun to grow a little stale, and it is starting to be reflected in our bottom line.

Here is my dilemma: I want to breathe some new life into their fundraising efforts. We’ve added some new committee members, made our direct mail campaign a little more edgy, but I keep thinking that if we want to see dramatic results, we need to make some dramatic changes.

Has anyone done any recent fundraising events that have surpassed expectations? We’ve done the black-tie galas, and golf tournaments, and we’ll continue to do person-to-person contact, but I’d really like to hit on something unique, interesting and fun.

They say it takes a hundred ideas to come up with one great one, so I’m listening… (or technically, reading)

like you are friends and you share poems that you have wrote. See look i had a relationship of 4 years and this person has a relationship with his girl for 5 years. We write poems to express our feelings and we share them with each other. He gave me a poem to day and it says "What's love"?
Love is a commitment not a feeling
When u say u love me and u know you dont
It's stealing.
Love is like a bar of soap once u Think you have it, it slips away
Love is a strong word, but when u
Share with someone, it can't express enough
So if i tell u i love u what i'm saying is **** all the other stuff
Cheating is the thing i hate,
So if u have something to hid, tell me before it's to late,
Love is like a war easy to start but hard to end,
If you love is real
This love story has no end.

Please i need help i need help on understanding this it really makes me think. I think this boy has feelings.

I'm writing a new book in which the main character goes through many modern day obstacles to discover the truth to a conspiracy. There is a girl with whom he works and eventually falls in love (at the end) but I can't figure out a fitting name for her. She's independent and can easily defend herself. She's the type who feels life is sometimes better without the burdens of love, until she meets the main character. She's of good height (5' 10" or so), brunette, and in-shape. She's very intelligent and level-headed. But I need a name that is both "sexy" or "feminine," but also dignified--for a girl anyway. The main character's name is Patrick, so a name that goes well with his would be good as well. I was hoping to make her of western European decent, probably either French or Italian. But anything else is greatly appreciated. I know this seems a little like Dan Brown's style of writing...and I suppose it is similar, so any other advice would be appreciated. Thanks for the help.
