I've always loved him & I own an adorable synthetic copy of his masterpiece circa 1960 or older. The web has so many sites on him that I'd like to hear some more personal expression & info like where to shop for repros, calendars books, etc. Once, while in Honolulu, I happened upon a hotel bar whose owner had many Leeteg originals....wow.. what a treat...my girl was there, too...in 3' by 4' glory! The hotel was the Waikikian....an original lanai style place....very OG. Don't even know if it's there anymore. The owner (who was he?) was known for having these original works but the very last time I went there "Hina Rapa" was gone.

I recently took and bought my senior high school panoramic pictures.

They're nice and all, but they're just laying around in my room. I'm pretty sure they don't sell picture frames that fit them.

How can I hang them on my wall without just pinning them up with tape or tacs?

I am looking for information such as who lived there before my family and what was in the location before my home was built? I have been told there are "spirits" or "ghosts" on my land and not to sound silly but if you ever watch Silvia Brown on the Montel show, she says to look into what was on your land before your home was there and who lived there, so that is what I am trying to do but I can't find out how to obtain the information I am looking for. Does anyone know where or how I can get this information?

I read a book a friend let me borrow. It had a bunch of short stories in it, dealing with all the villians from various stories, (Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Peter Pan, etc.). I can't remember the title or the author, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Complexity of relationships with other people (Hamlet/Ophelia, Polonius's schemes out of good intentions, etc.)
Complexity of human emotion (both a blessing and a curse to be able to feel and comprehend)
Frailty of the human mind and entire human existence...
That's all I can think of...is there anything I'm missing?

“Imagine you are creating the fabric of human destiny, with the object of making men happy in the end, giving them peace and rest at last. But it was essential and inevitable to torture to death only one tiny creature and found that edifice on its un-avenged tears. Would you consent to be the architect on those conditions? Tell me, and tell the truth.”

Fyodor Dostoyevsky (1821 – 1881)

A chegada a Calecute
Doc 1

E depois, que assim estivemos pousados, vieram de terra a nós quatro barcos, os quais vinham saber que gente éramos e nos disseram e amostraram Calecute.
E ao outro dia, isso mesmo vieram estes barcos aos nossos navios, e o capitão-mor mandou um dos desgredados* a Calecute; e aqueles que com ele iam levaram-no onde estavam dois mouros de Tunes, que sabiam falar castelhano e genovês.
E perguntaram-lhe o que vínhamos buscar tão longe.
E ele respondeu:
- Vimos buscar cristãos e especiarias.

* Geralmente os navios das Descobertas levavam a bordo condenados a penas pesadas, a quem eram atribuídas as missões mais perigosas.

Álvaro Velho, Relação da Viagem da Índia

Perguntas:
1- O que pretendiam os Portugueses fazer na Índia?
2- Como explicas que os dois mouros soubessem falar castelhano e genovês?
3- Parece-te que todos os mouros iriam receber bem os Portugueses? Justifica.

P.S: É a terceira vez que escrevi tudo de novo e estou a tentar postar...
