Arts & Humanities - 30 November 2006

I'm looking for a good novel. I use to read Ken Follet, Tom Clancy, Wilbur Smith, Stephen King novels, and I would like to know other authors or books that contain stories of action, suspence and pathos.
I have also read all the Dan Brown books but I have always been disappointed...

I have landed here after a journey long. Using my systems I have managed to log into your internet and I surf for long time. I learnt your language. I seen your people.You are strange.

There is so much weapons here, so many violence and I am scared to make contact with people of this world. There not much compassion here. They make jokes and have music but they also kill people and make people work all day long like slaves. On my world we live in luxury and share everything and everyone happy. There no violence or big battles.

Please could you help. Will I be welcomed or will they use me to test? I surf and I see on net that they want to do test on people from other worlds.

I cannot return to my world for 1,423,765 days because that is when next photon belt arrive.

I need next meal soon. Please help.

I've danced since I was 16 and now I've noticed that when I point my left foot, I get a really sharp pain and I have to quit pointing. It's very discouraging and only happens when I'm pointing my left foot. What did I do? Nothing else seems broken, and I can't tough out the pain, because it is really bad.

I need some pictures of myself for modeling. I thought they were only of the face but the place wants body shots with as much nudity but sexiness revealed. After three kids and lots of imprefections I need some way to cover all of the imperfections (stomach, arms) rest is ok. How can I do this tastefully but needs to reveal as much nudity and sexiness. Who can get to take these type of pics. My boyfriend does not know that I am posing for the magazine in which I am already employed so I cannot ask him. What poses can I use that hides imperfetions but accentuates the good (butt, legs, breast)with a view of my face either far away or close up. Continued employment is of course based upon pictures.

Apply two coats of gesso, then glue (I don't know what kind), then size it (what does this mean?) and then a coating of grey or beige paint as a base?

so, if everyone is so retarded. Then, is democracy retarded? should we just then let all the smart people decide instead of the general populace who are simply 'retarded'?

I mean, why stop at questioning media, why not question our judicial system or our way of making decisions. If most are retarded, why do we accept the decisions of the retarded instead of the those who are most intelligent?

I would love to hear your stories! Mine happened many years ago when I was the voice of Frosty the Snowman in a mall display. I had to hide- crunched up in a little house - and watch as the children who came to talk to Frosty. I had a microphone - and controls for his head, arms, eyes and mouth. BUT - Frosty's head was stuck in a weird position and only one eye blinked. Plus - the kids could see me back in the little house. It was horrible! What was your experience?
