I mean, we know that Voldermort is indeed the strongest Dark Wizard. So does he really need a wand to cast spells?

" if we have chosen work in which we can accomplish the most for mankind, then no burdens can bow us, because they are only sacrifices for every one.then we enjoy no poor, limited egoistic joy, for happiness belongs to millions, our deeds live on eternally, and our ashes are watered by the tears of noble human beings-KARL MARX when he was 17 years old.

Looking for where ancestors may have been baptised. The only details I have are Alverstoke. Other children were baptised in a catholic church but parents and some descendents were baptised Church of England.

I need a 35mm film scanner to scan hundreds of 40+ yr old color slides for archival purposes. I'm using a Mac Mini which has USB 2.0 and Firewire. I don't know what all is on the market at this time, and am looking for the best quality performance within my price range. Ideally, the cost would be closer to $500-600.

Can someone explain to me what this whole fascination with drawings that looks like a child did it. is the lack of skill appealing to people somehow?

Here are some examples of what i mean..

I'm currently studying illustration at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, and i have to say.. this trend is really total bullshit. even the department chair of the illustration department is in love with this stuff. what is the point of even going to school if what they think true art is ugly drawings made by people with the skill of a 3 year old?

Some historians have argued that even though they had little direct contact with each other, and far more with either Great Britain or the United States, by 1867 the various societies of the British North American provinces shared a number of characteristics and attitudes that made them resemble each other far more than they resembled anyone else, and even displayed a number of features which we today would identify as Canadian.

Do you think that there were events, issues or people which shaped the identities of these societies along broadly similar or quite divergent paths?

A girl friend of mine whos' a photographer in a model agency. Recently, she look me up as she wants me to be her 'model'. I agreed at first as I thought its just taking normal pics. But when I reached her studio she work with, she told me to strip off everything. I was shocked and asked her why. She says she was going to take nude pics for me for an exhibition... (Of course is those picture without 'head') I did not agree her and did not reject her. I just told her I wasn't prepared and need time to consider. Any advice? Should I do it or not? There's some payment which is quite interesting too. And she promise she will return me the negative back which I fully trusted her on.

I know that my theatre class is the only way I can learn too because I can't afford a teacher and I don't really have too many connections. Please help. Great talent is the only way to go to after my dream.

Who are considered to be the Caucasian rebels in this novel? My point to answer is "describe the relationship between Russians and the Caucasian rebels." Maybe I am confusing the rebels with the Caucasian peoples, who I also need to talk about in my paper.

It's set in WWII, and a boy finds a downed German bomber, with some dead crew aboard, and hides it's whereabouts from everyone. Somehow ends up using one of the machine guns from the plane. Just can't remember the title, and is driving me mad, any help would be appreciated...

If you open it, does it not cause a big damn mess?
If you hold it out for the world to see, does it not make
the people cringe?
If you drink from it, will it not leave a bad taste in your mouth?
Doeth not the potentcy diminish if it is not opened?
Whenst thou useth it too much, wilt though not find it
easier to useth it even more?
Wilst I contemplate, doesn'th thou'em both yearn for
freedom?
For isn't that the very essence of it?

How can people know that love exists if they can't even define it? How the hell does this quote justify love's existence?

"Im just gonna keep it simple... Love never has/never will be able to be defined! How do you know if ur in love? u just do end of story! If you doubt it then the answer is no!"

How is love different from a crush? How is it bigger? Don't you still feel the warm fuzzy feeling? The desire to hug someone? The desire to have a commitment? Is love merely an exaggerated crush? No? Why?

Based on most people's feeling about love, can love at first sight exist? Does love really take time? If so, why do people who say this also imply that love at first sight can occur?

Do you really need love to exist, even if you can't define it? Wait, why won't people come up with a definition? Did the idea that Love=Crush come to their head and that they're denying it? Is denial the reason why people can't come up with a definition?

I'm writing a story about a man who get addicted to drugs, but how can I make the story sound realistic and genuine, because I've never been around drugs or known people that have taken them... I don't want people to read my story and see that all the facts are wrong... I dunno, I guess I'm asking about specifics on what it's like to take heroin, like what does it feel like to first take heroin, and what does it feel like every time afterward, and what side effects does it have, and any other information about people who take drugs and stuff...

I read the book years ago and saw the movie last month. In telling the story to a friend, I couldn't figure out what it meant...
Was it about the futility of nostalgia?
Or was Aschenbach reflecting on a squandered life?
Or was it simply his coming-out tale?
