I mean. Think of it this way: You go to Germany without knowing a word of German (and never having learned another language in your life). Once you go there and take a few German lessons and stuff, you becomes such a wiz at German that you can say anything with great profession.
How this relates to Ballet: Once you get your legs all stretched out, and your ankles and hips good and strong, isn't Ballet just another skill that you don't need a gazillion years of training to be good at?
I knew a guy who learned to read for the first time when he was 90. And all those people on Dancing With The Stars learn how to dance at a professional level in only.. what.. a few months (I've never really watched the series.. i have a class when it comes on)?
I can tell that Ballet is trickier than it looks, but does it really require so many years of experiance? I know companies only accept "the best" and stuff. Do companies even look at those who HAVEN'T been in training since birth?

Why is the appeal to pity a logical fallacy? If this is a fallacy then why cant I see it? In my example am I blinded by the fact thay I agree with the conclusion of the argumet that killing is wrong?

I am flying to Canada and back within a two week period so will need some good quality reading material to sustain me through two horrendously long flights.
I'm a bit over Jodi Piccoult at the moment and have read the Time Traveller's Wife, but those are an indication of my tastes. I also really like compelling true life stories and biographies.
Thanks for your suggestions!

My daughter likes the stickers and cards that change images - flower to butterfly, prince to Shrek, etc. They have lightly parallel-grooved surfaces.

I need to know where to get the packing supplies, and how to pack it safely so it doesn't get torn or anything like that. Also, how long should it dry (oil/acrylic) before it can be packed for shipping, so it doesn't get any weird impressions on the surface? And lastly, what is the best service to use? (It won't leave the USA.) Thanks for any advice, as I'm pretty concerned about my masterpiece!

I have had a Casio Exilim EX-Z750(http://www.dcresource.com/reviews/casio/exilim_z750-review/) for over two years now and have loved it. I recently had some odd trouble with the LCD screen that makes the camera a hassle to use. I decided I would try looking for a new camera.

There are three key factors I am looking for:
1. Ease of use. I don't use the camera for anything professional, I just enjoy taking a lot of general pictures.
2. Size. I like the small size of this camera so something along the same lines would be great. Also a large LCD screen like this one is preferred.
3. (Most Important!) I need a no shake feature, such as this camera's anti-shake mode. My hands can shake a bit and every picture taken without the feature is a blur.

Are there any cameras you know of that would match what I am looking for?

Thank You.

The mass media is keen that we do not believe in conspiracies. And yet 'official' conspiracies are sold to us over and over. How important ARE conspiracies in human history and why are we discouraged from believing in their reality ?
