I'm arriving in New York City in April and I'm looking to buy a Nikon D40. I see it at bestbuy for $569 but I'd like to know first if anyone knows of a good camera shop in the city other than bestbuy that has competetive prices. Thank you.

You know the myth how we only use about 10% of our brain? (I know it's not true but I like the idea of it.) What if an alien life force did create us, but feared that we would turn on them so they put a fail safe on brain so we could on use 10% of our brain and dumped us on this back water planet called Earth but now in the future mankind has found a way past the fail safe and now we want to figure out who put the fail safe there to begin with? It's just an outline but yeah I kinda like the plot so can you tell me what you think?

He's gay and he said he desperately needed a support system, so I thought I was helping by being a friend, NOTHING MORE.

(Presidential office, I mean, not governors).

John Edwards announcement that he was still running despite the setback he wife had got me to wondering if we have ever had a first lady pass away while in office, who that would have been and what sort of protocol was observed. We've had some presidents die, but I can't think of any first ladies.

It's about two young brothers growing up in Chicago during the depression. I read the book when I was in high school, and don't recall the either the author or title. I thought the title had "wind blows" in it. In the book the brothers leave home, and roam about the country for sometime living homeless and picking up odd jobs, like joining a carnival. I appreciate any help. Thank you.
