who does the cute black and white photos of children in grown up clothes doing romantic things. Sometimes there is one or two things in color, like a red rose or the little girls dress. These photos are used a lot in wedding invitations and greeting cards. I need one for a wedding invite. I need high resolution and web link. 10 points to first person.

Since my dance teacher is keeping me back a level in ballet this will be my third year in the same ballet level. All she said was that when I stand at barre i need to get my rib cage inline with my pelvis. How can I strengthen my body so it is easier for me to fix that?

I just want to know when, how, under what circumstances and by whom was slavery abolished in Rome. Did the Church do anything to abolish slavery after being proclaimed as official religion in Rome (313 A.D.)?

Looking at all the facts and experiences of his life prior to getting into the political scene, why would you say that Abraham Lincoln's win of the Presidential election was a great personal triumph?

(And no, this is not an essay question. Just curious to what people think.)

I know many authors write stories set in the very hometown they live in, or a place where they have lived in for a significant period of time.

I tend to write about places I've never been before and imagine up people I've never met, and more often than not run out of steam after the first few chapters. I'm thinking this time to incorporate real-life things I've heard, seen and done into my fiction...but have some difficulties doing so.

Advice appreciated. Thanks!

the poem is as follows:
Resembles Life what once was held of Light,
Too ample in itself for human sight ?

An absolute Self--an element ungrounded--
All, that we see, all colours of all shade

By encroach of darkness made ?--

Is very life by consciousness unbounded ?
And all the thoughts, pains, joys of mortal breath,
A war-embrace of wrestling Life and Death ?

HI folks,
When things in your lives seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 cups of coffee.

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him.
When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls.
He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar.He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full? They agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with an unanimous "yes."
The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.
"Now," said the professor as the laughter subsided, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things--your family, your children, your health, your friends and your favorite passions--and if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.
The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house and your car.
The sand is everything else--the small stuff. "If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls.
The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff you will never have room for the things that are important to you.
"Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your spouse out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal. Take care of the golf balls first--the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand."
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented. The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked.
It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, here's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend."
Please share this with someone you care about.

Do you know any method that I can use to remember important dates?

For example, Missuori Comprimise 1820. Or Emancipation Proclamation 1862.
