If this novel is well written could it find an audience? It's part reality/part fantasy. A boy is whisked away from his adopted family and goes to live with his real mother and grandparents whom he's never met (separated at birth). Since he finds his new life confusing (his real family is weird), events and people in his neighborhood are partly real but always have a magical element because he fills in the parts he doesn't understand with his imagination. Example: his hero is a high school student--the state champion high jumper. When the hero gets a beating by his father, the narrator hits the father with a rock, and the friend runs away. The neighborhood is worried, thinking he is missing, so they search for him. The narrator spots his hero standing on a rooftop. He smiles down at him & jumps. Instead of falling, he starts flying. The boy points to the sky. Everybody else sees him flying too. Why not? He's the high jump champ! P.S. The first chapter was published in a magazine.

I am in high school, and I am looking into buying a nice velocity sensitive, 49-61 note keyboard. It would also be nice if it could hook up and record on my computer. I have a reasonable price range. I don't want to spend way too much, but I want to spend enough to get a nice brand. Could anyone tell me some brand names or models to look into? If you could link me to them, that would be great. Thanks!

wound up tightly, ready to spring
release only comes from the drink
and the drugs stop me from being a prick
from a life time that smells just like stink
soundless thoughtsstirring within the head
look over now, ten people lay dead
broken words sold the midget said
the demonic monster will be fed
with a southern drawl the man he spoke
most people around here are good folk
social issues, paranoid on coke
please excuse me while i take a toke
the soldiers face all covered in scars
sitting so drunk in his local bar
hearing the voice of dead irish dah
round here things dont change, they are
sacrificed myself to pay the rent
im sure thats not what they really meant
emotionally got twisted and sorta bent
fighting back till im totally spent

I just returned from church, feeling wonderful. It has that effect on me more often than not. I know that religion is blamed for many of the wars and hatred currently in progress. However, I believe those who commit evil in the name of religion are frauds and are being used to keep good people away from good. The battle of good against evil continues to rage but its comforting to know that a belief in and worshipping of a Creator can lead to inner peace and happiness, while surrounded by evil and unhappiness. Learning about science, math, communication, health, etc, are all good worthy things to be doing with our time. In addition to those worthy pursuits, developing greater spirituality will magnify the beauty and goodness of everything else in life. Whether you feel your life is missing something or not, pursuit of an ever increasing level of spirituality will not only lead to your own good, but will be a blessing for the rest of the people who share this world with you.

A famous wag said: 'You have to know what is too much before you can know what is enough.'

My friend C.P. counters with: 'You have to know what is much too much before you can know what is too much."

Oscar Wilde says: 'Too much is never enough...'

What do you say?

I know if it's framed behind glass and out of direct sunlight, that helps. Is there anything else you can do to preserve the life of a watercolor painting?

I am looking to finally follow my passion but I seem to be at a loss as to how to start! I'm 30, have 2 degrees (computer science and finance) from a top university, worked as an engineer in the oil industry but have been very sucessfully self-employed as a daytrader (oil/energy stocks) for the last 3 years. I am not bilingual. I really want to follow my dream (obsession), go to grad school and work as an archeologist in the field of European/Mediterrean pre-history (I am not interested in American history). I live in San Francisco and the colleges I have looked into require a history BA (though no one allows someone who already has a Bachelors to enter the program). I contacted Berkeley's grad department and they basically said I should have thought to get a History degree when I was younger. Can anyone suggest any pathways to a career in pre-historic archeology? I could devote myself full-time to studies, plus I love academic work. Is it possible at my age to change fields?
