Okay. I'm 5'3 tall, 110 lbs,14 yrs, really dark hair, beige skin, brown eyes. I hate how i look, because i feel like everyone lies to me. everyone tells me that i'm skinny, i have nice teeth, and that i'm pretty. i feel horribly short i wanna be so much TALLER! and i feel like i'm chubby, i could be skinnier, when everyone repeatedly tells me that i'm not chubby at all. i wanted braces for FOREVER, but my family and friends all say that i have nice teeth and that i don't need braces! also, ppl always say that i'm pretty, but i'm horribly unphotogenic, short, and like, the OPPOSITE of what you would call pretty. thats what i think. but everyone keeps telling me the opposite. i mean, they ARE my friends,but i think they're lying so that they don't hurt my feelings. what should i do? i hate this SO much, i feel like i can't trust what they say about my looks, and when i tell them to be honest, they always say that they ARE being honest. Does anyone have this problem?? what should i do??

Hercule Poirot was famously the first, and to my knowledge only, fictional character to get an obituary in the New York Times. Thing is, I can't find a copy of it. Does anyone know if it's available on the web? Thanks.

My father was born on March 15, 1942 and past away November 22, 1999. My daughter was born on March 15, 2000. Out of 11 siblings I was the only one to see my father past away at the hospital. Is that a coincidence?

My friend told me to ask my cousin this because my cousin does ballet, and my cousin didn't know. So I figured I'd ask all of you kind people.

Any specific advice on obtaining images with a similar look? Obviously, most of this will be done by post-processing with photoshop, but anything else I should look for whilst I'm shooting? What about light setup? What about filters or exposure?

I have a Nikon D50 with a Nikkor 50mm/1.8 lens. The model/hairstyle/set is all prepared appropriate to era.

Do museums display replicas of ancient artifacts to preserve the originals? Some of the busts look like they are made from plaster or some other material. There are even form lines (like from a mold) on the heads of statues, etc. Has anyone heard of something lilke this before?

A co-worker of mine thinks that Harry and Hermoine might be twins...James and Lily fearing an attack from Volde sent her to live with muggles...after all Lily was the brightest witch of her day and so is Hermoine...

This is just for fun so don't anyone get their panties in a bunch over this...

qualifications: there really are none, however it seems there is a lack of understanding of the english language prevalent among the very ones who speak it. so for those who cannot read carefully and understand: 1) the question IS valid as written, it presupposes nothing.
2) it is NOT a paradox, conundrum, unanswerable riddle, catch-22, relevant syllogism or play on words.
3) it IS philosophical in nature, much more so than waxing on the ratio of fire to earth in the human spirit, or the merits of anarchy and nihilism.
4)it is NOT the 2500 repeat of the question this year, but the first posing (i scanned all 292 related entries at the time of this writing and only 2 others were even vaguely similar, and that was conceptually (one by wesley2711 and the other by muckracker in the form of hot burritos))
5)I certainly recognize the inherent difficulties in dealing with concepts related to infinity and all resultant derivations thereof, (and usually the inherent futility as well!)

I am trying my hand at creative writing. I would like to know how a person would go about being published. What steps to take and what not.
Please see my latest blog entry and leave a comment to tell me what you think.

TIA

I thought the movie was very well done. The historical bits included surprised me some. It was something certainly a bit more educating than recent films.

I have finally finished a musical that I have been writing for three years. I am using the music of another artist that inspired me to tell this story. Aside from getting a US copyright for the dialogue and the permission from the artist to use their music. I need to know what else I should do or whom to see. I am from the nyc area and am hoping to know what to do next. What is the process for doing this, how can I really make this happen, what will get my foot in the door. Would a power point presentation be something to add on to musical to sway the labels that own the music, to let them know where this idea came from. Or should I hope the writing it self will be enough to win them over? Any advice is appreciated, thanks.

I have read the best way to keep a surface piercing is to get it pierced with a surface bar because it does not make pressure on the skin. But how do they put it in if it has two 90 degree at each end. I have a link and it has a picture of a surface bar just in cause it is needed.
