I realized this in my late teens. I realized that people don't always change when they grow up, you will be faced with more difficulties, sometimes it can get worse, things get even more complicated. There are constant battles. When we were smaller we had an image of what the world would be like when we grew up. I imagined that I would be happy and strong. My perspective of the world would change. Life goes in circles it seems. Foggy, muddy, troublesome. Free will, huh?

I know i asked this in the sports section but i figured that someone in the dance section might be able to answer this better. I am a 15 year old guy who has been doing gymnastics for 5 years. The dress code for guys at my gym is the traditional mens gymnastics shirt/leotard and shorts, no pants cause my coaches can't see if our legs are bent etc. with pants on. During the winter months it gets cold so i asked my headcoach if i could wear mens footless ballet tights under my shorts, she said that she i could as long as they were close to skin tone and they had to be low waist style stirrup tights so the waist isnt half way up my torso and so they dont ride up my legs. I have looked everywhere and can not find any mens low waist stirrup tights in any color but black, does anyone know where i can get a couple pairs? One of the girls in my class suggested a pair of capezio or danskin tights geared more for women, she says that they are actually unisex, will that work too?

I've not read too many of his recent books, so maybe orcs pop up there... but it struck me recently that orcs don't really feature in the discworld setting at all. Trolls, yes... Werewolves, yes... Witches, dragons, zombies, vampires, dwarves and elves, yes yes yes... and wizards, of course... about every fantasy staple there is, but no orcs- why is that?

Stuck

Here I am stuck in this small town
Where there is very little work to be found
I’ll probably be here for the rest of my time
Because of a past horrendous crime
It started with a social drink or two
But then it took off and just grew and grew
I thought I could handle it by myself
Till I took the life of someone else
I was arrested and charged by the local fuzz
And groups like MADD & SADD were all a buzz
They wanted to see me pay dearly for my crime
So the courts gave me the maximum time
So while in prison I sought some aid
And thanks to therapy I’m still sober today

I just picked up the book and started practicing The Secret. I'm waiting for happy experiences to happen to me, especially since some pretty crappy things happened to me recently. I'm not wanting money or material things, It's something that means much more to me than that.

I would like to hear other peoples' experiences with it. Please, no negative or rude comments. No crazy Christian critisicm, either. I'm just a regular person wanting to hear about some good experiences for others. Thanks :)

A fellow from Wyoming told me this stuff about lightning-swift draws was a lot of old hokum, arising from the explanation "He went for his gun and I outdrew him," which the law might accept when not to do so would be more trouble than it was worth. True?

I've been working on this massive project for about four weeks, and I can't seem to find any reliable links. It would be helpful if the information is in the form of primary resources, though secondary sources are acceptable too.

I'm also looking for imformation about how the United States has affected the music, fashion, religion, and overall culture of foriegn countries in the 1920's.

The history of the Titanic began at a dinner party in a London mansion in 1907. Then, J. Bruce Ismay, managing officer of the White Star Line, a prominent ship operating company, and Lord James Pirrie devised plans to build three magnificent ships that would set a new standard for luxury and elegance. The first two would be named Olympic and Titanic while the third, to be built later, would be the Britannic.

The White Star Line started production on the Olympic in December of 1908, while work on the Titanic started the following March. The Titanic included amenities that many of its passengers had never enjoyed in their own homes, such as electric light and heat in every room. The size and splendor of the Titanic quickly established the ship as a legend, even before the first voyage.

The Titanic was officially launched from Southampton, England, on April 10, 1912. While the ship carried more than 2,200 passengers and crew, Titanic was equipped with only 16 lifeboats, with a capacity of 1,708. The White Star Line had decided to use only half the number of boats the Titanic could carry in order to alleviate what was referred to as a "cluttered" feeling on the main deck of the ship.

The Titanic sailed first to Cherbourg, France, to pick up additional passengers, and then to Queenstown, Ireland, before setting out to sea for the transatlantic voyage to New York. The first three days of the voyage passed without incident, while the fourth did not. Although the Titanic had received five ice warnings throughout the day on April 14, Captain Edward Smith decided not to slow down and continued on at 21 knots (25 mph). At 11:40 PM, lookout Fred Fleet spotted an iceberg and notified the bridge. First Officer William Murdoch then ordered the ship turned hard to port and the engine room was signaled to reverse direction. The ship did move slightly, but could not avoid the iceberg, which tore a 300 feet-long hole in the ship, causing compartments to begin filling with water.

Twenty-five minutes after the crash, the ships officers ordered the lifeboats uncovered and began preparing the passengers and crew for evacuation. The first lifeboat was launched twenty minutes after the orders were given. Despite having a carrying capacity of 68, the first lifeboat launched with only 28 passengers. When the last boat launched, there were more than 1,500 passengers left on board. The lifeboats contained mostly women and children. However, J. Bruce Ismay managed to escape by sneaking onto one of the last lifeboats.

At approximately 2:10 AM, the stern, or rear of the ship, rose out of the water and shortly thereafter the weight of the raised stern caused the ship to split in two. The bow, or front of the ship, slowly sunk as the stern settled back into the water. Then, the stern filled with water until it disappeared into the ocean. More than 1,500 souls were lost in the "greatest maritime disaster in history".

Many attempts have been made to find the wreck of the Titanic, yet it wasn't until 1985, when an expedition combining teams from IFREMER and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute discovered the famous ship. The team, led by Robert Ballard and Jean-Luis Martin, took the first photographs of the Titanic in 73 years.

More than 90 years later, people continue to be fascinated with the Titanic. The disaster and its survivors have been the subject of four movies, a Broadway musical and countless books. The movie Titanic, written and directed by James Cameron, is the most expensive film ever made and in 1998 it won 11 Academy Awards. The Titanic recently made headlines again in 2001, when a New York couple announced they would be wed in a deep-sea submersible at the Titanic gravesite.

What is the name of the product that you put on your glasses and takes the scratches out. I seen it advertise about three weeks ago but forgot the name of it. They showed that you put a little bit of this stuff on the lens and rub the lens with a cloth and the scratches came out on TV. Also, have you used this product?
