Arts & Humanities - 5 February 2007

1) Main character. Also if you want you can suggest his profession, preferably one where he travels a lot but his work is largely independent. A "cool" job but the story is not about his job so please do not suggest a spy or something fantastic like that. Something fairly uncommon but very legitimate. I was leaning towards a Steve Irwin-like character but if anyone comes up with a better idea, feel free to suggest it. Basically he is an adventuror who always finds himself in the wrong place at the right time and gets nosey.

2) A beautiful woman who works for the World Health Organization. Oh, and she is also of Portuguese descent, that last part is vital in her character.

3) An owner of an environmentally damaging mining company. A sinister dude but not down-right evil.

4) The main character's side kick

5) The mine owner's right-hand man, his muscle basically. A man who does not hide his sinister side as much as his boss.

You embark on a task; intent to bring joy to another, but shortly before you deliver this gift you discover the recipient is deceitful. Do you or do you not deliver the gift and why?

I just finished reading it and i think it was a pretty good book, I think that he was trying to say that when a nation is faced with social problems we need to stick together. What do you think?

i saw my spirit came out while i was sleeping.i saw my body and myself and my spirit . i was looking through a mirror in my room,and my spirit was just behind me . i could see everything like my body was vibrating while my spirit was out...
the thing is,i was very depressed at that time and my spirit looked really cool of myself,i was staring at him through mirror ,i was sad,but he was smiling and he said 'yeah'. so is it the god who punish me or it is my spirit? i have a destiny and my spirit creates my reality,my spirit didnt seem to care with my situation or my depression,it was like he was the one who wants to put me in depression or make the life bitter.

I keep seeing all these articles and news clips of this "self-taught prodigy" named Akiane. She's been on Oprah and I believe Maury as well, and her art sells for thousands. Many of the subjects she supposedly paints are religious or symbolic of spiritualism in some way, and she claims to communicate with God.
There is little debate about it that I can readily find at the moment, most sites and articles praising her amazing talent. I've been thinking of emailing Snopes.com about it to see what they can find, and maybe put some people in their rightful places.
Another thing I find odd about this Akiane person is that her entire family was supposedly Atheist, home-schooled her all her life, and from what I can gather apparently kept her inside a plastic religion-free BUBBLE her whole life, never to venture to the outside world, let alone hear of this mysterious "God"-creature from anyone, oh no sir. (Yeah right.)
So any opinions or better yet valid debates on this?

Okay: so my mom was in a car accident, she had a shooting star graphic on her car and unfortunatly they called the car a total loss, more then anything she is upset that the 2006 honda is a loss along with her $1200 graphics that were down the side. So along with my sneaky antics of tryin to get the graphics redone for nothing, I am looking for a shooting star that starts out dark purple and fades into a lighter purple. (Or something along that line!) I would appreciate any ideas!!! Please only serious responses!! Thanks soooo sooo sooo much!

How do you think the author makes the story scary, what kind of kind of strategies or devices are used by the author to accomplish that?

I have a beautiful acoustic electric guitar. I have been dying to really 'make it mine' with some painting. I am a very confident painter, so i would like to do this myself. Does anyone have any advice as to what kind of paint to use or clear coat to put on it? I am thinking about only painting the strip round the sides of the body. Have a beautiful plan in mind, but i need to be sure about what types of paints i am using as i don't want to ruin it. thank you :)
