I'm young, (18) and don't have a lot of money. I love photography as an art form and also as a way to capture memories. So I need a camera that gives me a lot of manual options. I want to be able to choose my ISO setting, My focus, and also my f-stop. But I also want to be able to put it on automatic, so that I won't have to worry about setting it. I need it to be pretty compact and less than $500. I need help finding a camera right for me???

I was at a wedding and a very godly woman told me about a reoccuring dream she would have.

In this dream there would be a curtain and when the curtian opened there was a bird cage in it with dead bones and dead vines all around this cage this woman went through a bitter horrible divorce.

Some years later God send her a man that would become her husband and she had this reoccuring dream again but this time instead of dead things there were baby birds singing in the cage and healthy vines growing around the cage and after this she never had any of these bad dreams again.

What is your interpetation of this dream?

The Standard Oil Company:
a - was able to control the prices and distribution of almost all the oil in the US.
b - gained control of the oil industry and forced the industry to be more efficient.
c - was unable to lower oil prices because the railroads continued to charge high prices to move oil from one place to another.
d - without intending to, gained enough market share to control the price of oil throughout the US.
Please Help me OUT. Thank you!

I want a book that I can absolutely not put down because it is so interesting. I'm primarily into sci-fi (but can't stand fantasy) and just got finished reading Battle Royale which was an excellent read. End of the world books interest me too (nukes and zombies). Any suggestions?

We seem to have this obsession for "progess", fast progress. What is progress. Is war progess? Is democracy progress? What about iPods and PS3/Wii's? What's wrong with not having progess,

Whenever I watch something about the 60s and the 70s and I encounter these two historical figures it sounds like they are different in terms of schools of thought. I always thought they were two sides of the same coin or at least fighting for the same thing: rights for black peoples. When I think about it, however, I've come to the realization that I know almost nothing about these two figures so I was wondering if some could tell explain to some of the differences and similarities of these two men.

I read it a few years ago in school, and the other day thought I might like to read it again, but none of the Ray Bradbury titles I've found ring a bell. I know it was a short story about a futuristic house, and it was hinted that the family who lived there had died in a nuclear blast. The main theme running through the story was that the house was, in a way, "alive", because all the electronic devices still followed their programed routines. Thinking about it now, it seems that there was a line that went "a little after midnight, the house began to die", as a short circuit had caused a fire. Does anyone have any clue what the title might be?

I have this fabulous vintage dress but I accidentally broke the buckle. It is made of metal. Can I repair it and will it be sturdy enough or functional?

Give me some constructive criticism if you know enough about poetry to do so. Otherwise, whether you like it or not is enough for me. :)

He sits at the desk again
grasps the pen
with intentions of a sonnet
but forgets once more
in staring at the door
she is gone

He glances at the empty place
her things packed in a case
and closes his eyes
the unbearable stillness
upon him like an illness
she is gone

He reaches out
with a shout
in the night
and feels nothing near
it’s now becoming clear
she is gone

He sits at the table
built sturdy and stable
while everything else is broken
She left him just that-
the table at which they sat
she is gone

He sings their song
but something’s wrong
he can’t sing it alone
It was the first and last dance
for the lovers in a trance
she is gone

I know it isn't quite there yet. help?
