Arts & Humanities - 25 October 2006

Here in Salt Lake City, there's a Christmas fundraiser called "Festival of Trees", which benefits a local children's hospital. You submit a tree which is auctioned off, and the proceeds go to the hospital. I'm submitting a tree, and I'm going to use only diet coke cans and lights to decorate it. Please help me come up with the ideas for cutting, folding, or punching the cans and manipulating them into stunning decorations! Be descriptive - you can even email me at Lmevans79@yahoo.com if you want to submit a sketch or photograph. Thanks!

Not your favorite book.

Your favorite title because of how it sounds or what it means or whatever reason.

Mine is "The Alchemist".

I need a book on Mursili the Third of the Hittite, Empire Anatolia. I need something other than the manga Red River so if anyone knows where I can find a book solely based on him or even has him in it for a chapter, I'd deeply appreciate it

His ideas are good, but I felt his characters, style and execution were boring, overdone clichés. Anyone else?

Is there a standard size font that publishing houses use when publishing hardcover books? Paperback books?

Ok here's a question. How many people are happy with yourselves...be honest. If we're not happy then content and some less then that. Are we so out of touch with ourselves that we can't just be truly happy???

I know my purpose is to seek and save the lost, to live, love, and stand firmly in the truth of the unbreakable Word of God, while ripping it up on guitar and possibly inspiring people with my art. You?

I want to learn how to sew but how long would it take me to work my way up to making my own clothes? Also, is there any websites that explain how to sew or things you can sew?

Sonnet 30
Love is not all: it is not meat nor drink
Nor slumber nor a roof against the rain;
Nor yet a floating spar to men that sink
And rise and sink and rise and sink again;
Love can not fill the thickened lung with breath,
Nor clean the blood, nor set the fractured bone;
Yet many a man is making friends with death
Even as I speak, for lack of love alone.
It well may be that in a difficult hour,
Pinned down by pain and moaning for release,
Or nagged by want past resolution’s power,
I might be driven to sell your love for peace,
Or trade the memory of this night for food.
It well may be. But I do not think I would.

Edna St. Vincent Millay

I am talking about actual nails( as in hammer and nails) not finger nails. I have seen some very awesome pictures made with nails and just was looking for a web site that might have some to sell, and maybe some pics of art

Is there anything worth watchiing on television now? Name one.?
I used to watch Nightline regularly w/ Ted Koppel, ABC News w/ Peter Jennings, 60 Minutes, Washington Week in Review and MacNeil/Lehrer News Hour. But tv news is now biased and superficial. I still watch Washington Week and News Hour, but the only trustworthy figure I can find is Bill Moyers (well, there's Olberman on MSNBC).

Once I looked forward to Masterpiece Theater, Hill Street Blues, LA Law, St. Elsewhere, NYPD Blue--hokey but decent drama about real people, real problems, and I watched All in the Family and Cheers faithfully.

Now, with the Internet and DVD's, I can I can find more reliable news online and better entertainment from NetFlix.

So is there something out there on tv that I'm missing?
