i really think it might be a good idea that if dan brown doesn't consult with milan micci he might at least read some of her material. i heard he attended her '85 lecture but he must have missed the last ten years of her research. the remains of mary magdelene are not kept at the louvre museum. perhaps ms. micci can tell him where they really are, lol. or maybe he can check out the website for her new trilogy of books "the christ code" www.thechristcodeofficial.com

I am compliling a list of what vampire lovers believe to be the best vampire novels of all time. The results will be published on a website I am creating on the mythology of vampires. In order to qualify, the novel must have (a) vampire(s) or vampirism as it's PRIMARY characters/theme. Please list the one, two or three best vampire novels you have ever read. Please include Title AND author and if you wish a brief synopsis and/or the reason you feel it is best. Thank You!

Today, we find that we are becoming more reliant on computers and technology. Technology is exponentiating at a rate, I've heard, in which the power double every 18 months. Soon, we will get to the point where we can no longer live without computers, and if there was a major failure, or an electromagnetic pulse, we would die.

Some people advocate using microchip technology to enhance human abilities, and some radical believers want to replace human intelligence with artificial intelligence once its power exceeds our own.

I find this way of thinking to be absolutley ridiculous. We should enjoy life now, not push an ideal of "progress" in our minds that would completely ruin human life, and eventually replace it. I think that we are moving to fast, and only trying to move faster. We are not ready for this surge in technology, so I believe it should either stop, reverse, or probably what most would agree with, at least low down.

So I ask, are we too far ahead of ourselves?

First, my book isn’t finished yet. I’m plugging along at it steadily and have been doing so for over a year, except that lately I’ve been too busy to really sit down and work on it. I’m not sure when it will be finished, but I hope to try for publication once I’ve completed it.

Second, it’s a fantasy novel. I’m not sure how competitive the market for fantasy novels is, though it seems (to me, anyway) that fantasy has become a more popular genre as of late. I think my plot idea is pretty original and I’ve been told by many people- including family, friends, teachers, and some complete strangers that my creative writing skills exceed those of most people my age (I’m 19). I’ve also had some poems and a short story published in a literary magazine as the result of a state-wide contest for young writers. I’m serious about being an author- I know writing novels isn’t something that can be an actual ‘career’, but its one of my life-long dreams to have a novel published.

The main problem is, I have no idea where to start once my book is finished. Do I look for a literary agent? Should I try to find one with an interest in the fantasy genre? What about potential publishers? Should I let several different people read the story before I attempt publication? Will I have problems getting people to take me seriously as a writer because of my age? Advice from published authors would be very much appreciated!

Hi there,

In a parenting magazine, I found a suggestion: help children to learn how to help others by adopting a tree, joining a fundraising campaing or "giving the gift of art". What's that?

Thanks!

Too many people feel money will sovle everyone's problems! What people fail to understand, money doesn't solve everything.

Discuss the period from the Articles of Confederation through the Bill of Rights. Be certain to discuss the following: 1) the federal government as it existed under the Articles, 2) the problems with the Articles, 3) the rationale for the Constitution and its development, 4) the Federalist/Antifederalist debate, and 5) the necessity for the Bill of Rights.

So many people cry at movies... people can be such saps.

What I want to know is - has there ever been a book that made you so emotional that you had trouble reading the words through your tears?

I have heard of this but have yet to experience it for myself.

Is that childish? Do you think the books are intended for a much younger audience?

If you have any idea where I can find that picture or portrait in the internet it would be very helpful.

Hello all. Sometimes I am able to come up with a saying or poem to fit what I'm wanting but I thought I would give others a shot and see if they are more creative than I myself am.

I have a picture and I am wanting to put a saying or poem in the corner of it and print it as a christmas present. The picture is of my 4 year old kind of with a dreamy look in her eyes looking off to the side with a smile on her face. She wasn't looking directly at the camera which is why I think it has more of a dreamy look to it. I've posted the picture on Myspace.com at my link which you can view it at http://www.myspace.com/brooklynn_31502 . Let me know if you have any ideas! Thanks in advance!
