I was looking at this site: http://www.overstockart.com and I noticed that they sell oil paintings and not prints, I thought that's cool, but how can you tell between a print on canvas and a handmade oil painting like the ones that are sold in http://www.overstockart.com?

i don't care about the pain but i need a method that i can do on my own. i love dance, but i need to get out of it for a while as we have a performance coming up and i suck at performing (nerves). plus i think i'm fatter than most other dancers and i'm embarrassed of performing with my skinny friends... if you've ever broken or sprained something i need your help.

i've been trying hitting my ankle with rocks, hammers, etc. and jumping from high heights on one leg, but i have stong bones and ligaments. i've tried dropping 30lb weights (heaviest that i own) on my bare foot over and but that hurts incredibly but just doesn't break anything! the ankle/foot gets swollen but gets back to size quickly and doesn't even look bruised. i need the swelling to stay for a while and prefer to have some bruising too. don't try to talk me out of this, please, i just need to break or sprain an ankle. please help... thanks, celine.

my friend and i wanted to get something for our dance teacher... and we were thinking of making a scrapbook for her of the studio and all the girls. we thought we could come in and take pictures and/or send out a note to everyone in our studio asking if they have any pictures from classes or recitals that they could give to us to make for a christmas gift. so does anyone like that idea?? good things about it.... or bad things about it?

and do you have any other gift idea suggestions?

Well I suppose he would have to create the earth as well, the oceans and the sea mammal's, the sun and the stars, the planets and the entire univers. It takes more faith to believe that man created god than to believe in a creator that brought everything in to existence. There are more questions than answers with this idea.

A riddle in the Jokes and Riddles section asked how a horse tied to a 15 foot rope could reach a hay bail from 25 feet away. The answer is (question is resolved) that the other end of the rope was not tied to anything. While that answer is plausible, and a horse with a rope tied to it would not always be secured to a stationary object, I'm not sure that it is the logical answer.

I am uncertain about this because it seems to me that the inference from the question is that the horse is secured by the rope, and that this is more probably the case than not, as there would not exist an implied problem if the horse was not so secured.

I suppose you could interpret my question as asking what is the most logical, if that can be asked, answer to a question like the one above?

Is the answer an example of "Occam's Razor?"

Snapshot Happiness

Wrapped in grey sweatshirts
the plastic yellow seats cold under us
white tennis shoes pushing off the mulch
one hand grasping the metallic chains
the other intertwined with yours
mouths wide open:
laughing as we swing into cool October air
Happy
me: knowing this will never last
but hoping anyway
and you: not knowing that for all the times you never loved me
a faded ribbon adorned my wrist

One of my favourite hobby is photography. I just started to take photos since 2005. I use a samsung GX1. It gives quality picture(from my opinion).
Now I want to buy a DSLR. I've seen lots of camera form various brands but confused...... please give some advice.

Black Snow
The sun retreats to its cave
Once again, chaos reigns.
The daemons play havoc on my dear sanity
The ebony flakes land on my skin
Burning with a dying flame.
I hear the call of Hell once more
Beckoning my reluctant destiny
I must enjoy what I have on this Earth
For I shall inhale the ashes once again.
Day has fallen, another night come
The black chariots galloping near
The phantom reality of my tangible dreams
The snowflakes have fallen.
Can you feel the shards burrowing into my skin?
Rooting deeper and deeper
Burning, scorching, feeding,
Consuming my fuel
Laughing my tears to the surface
As I stoke the fire
It’s just a bad dream, I think to myself
I’ll never come back here again
I awaken and know, I pretend to ignore
I’ve only just found a retreat from real life
The snowflakes are watery, gentle, and cold
I can hide out here for a lifetime or so
Then it’s back, back to real life
Where the only love is fire
Down in the black flurries.

What would it be for?

2006-09-24 11:03:03 · 29 answers · asked by Thia 6 in Books & Authors

Ownership

In years long past
I owned this beach, these dunes, this waving grass,
Even the ocean’s roar,
Advancing and receding on this lonely shore;
And the stinging sand and spray,
Like wild imps wantonly at play,
The sea-washed shells and rounded stones
Polished until they gleamed like ancient bones.
All was mine, deeded by me to myself,
Reward for discovering a boundless realm of wealth.

Now, time has enlightened me to save
Only what may fit snugly near me in my grave;
The rest, no matter how dear a tenancy mine’s been,
Must be quit-claimed, for new ownership to begin.
If you should chance this way sometime, soon or late,
And see what here I held, my whole estate,
Do not hesitate or look for any boundary stone,
Claim it all, and quickly, for your own.
I will not begrudge you one grain of salt or sand
If you’ll walk here, and see what I did, wild and grand.
