I have no clue which artist is famous. Baroque style started around 1600 in Rome, Italy and spread to most of Europe. Does anyone have suggestions?

I once heard that it was possible to create a sword with a diamond edge that was laser sharpened and was incredibly powerful compared to regular swords of fine craftsmanship. I'm wondering if it's really possible and how good it would be.

Are they born that way, or is it something they learn in Goblin School? (For goblin lore, read J.R.R. Tolkien or Raymond E. Feist.)

Apollonius of Tyana had studied about Lord Krishna in the Himalayas and then he returned and introduced these teachings to the Essenes, who became the first "Chrishn-ins", later Christians. The writings of Apollonius were re-written and plagurized by Roman churchmen at the Council of Nicea three centuries later.

In the fourth century, A.D., Hierocles accused the Christian priesthood of this plagury and of INVENTING a messiah by combining the name of the sun god, Iesus, with the name Chrishna, which had become corrupted to Christ by that time.

For example, in the birth story of both Lord Krishna and Jesus, the king ordered the death of all newborn male children. Also, both grew up as shepards, or cowherd boys.

The story of Jesus was plagurized from the life of Krishna.

I humbly request that all of the Christians out there study and compare the life of Krishna and Jesus, at the website below.

I am looking for some Mary Higgins Clark books that are the original hardcover. I don't want the kind that has the book jacket on it I rather have the one that doesn't. I can't seem to find these kind of books anywhere. I know that my school library has these books but I am sure they get it through a school program where I cannot order from. If you can please try to tell me where I can find them that would be great.

I write songs and I would like to perform them. I know how to sing a little but not really well. A lot of people tell me I have a nice voice, but I don't know how to hold notes very long, and I am afraid of going to classes or anything like that.

I can't find all of the paintings that Van Gogh did! All the websites I go to are incomplete. I need to find pictures of a star (a painted star [Preferably by Van Gogh], or a real star!) for a project in art class! I am not that good at painting, but I need to make a painting of something. I need something pretty easy. Any ideas? A picture will help a LOT!!!!!!!!!!!!
