Arts & Humanities - 2 July 2007

I have a painting that was left to me. I'm pretty sure it's an original, I live in an small town so there are no galleries I can go to for help. All the sites I'm looking on cost. I want to know how you can tell if the painting is authentic and how would I get it appraised.

I just wish he'd play the part a bit more like the character in the book, like Richard Harris did.

i refuse to believe that snape is bad and dumbledore was fooled by snape. the main reason to my theory comes when dumbledore and harry were in the astronamy tower and malfoy burst in, dumbledore froze harry with a binding hex, i believe he did this knowing what was about to take place and didnt want harry to interfere, as he surely would have, so that dumbledore and snapes plan could be carried out. that being snape having no choice but to kill dumbledore because of the unforgivable vow. dumbledore new the whole year what malfoy was up to and new that this was inevitable. the reason why dumbledore believed this was the best thing was because it would insure snapes undercover work with voldemort and he knew that he could still comuicate with harry in some way. that way im not positive it could be the mirror of errised or behind the veil of which sirrious fell or in the headmasters paintings in the headmasters office and i believe the painting is the most plausable although i wouldnt be surprised if harry contacts both sirrious and dumbledore behind the veil using the draft of living death. another piece of evidence that i am convinced about is when dumbledore genuinely pleaded with snape before his death. i think that this was a plead to go through with his planned death as snape was having a hard time actually doing it. remember who knows what the two were saying in there minds during this scene as the two are both very talented legilimence. anyways for these reasons i am convinced that dumbledores death was planned and snape is GOOD. i mean seriously it doesnt make sense otherwise... why else would dumbledore pin harry against the wall instead of leaving him be becuase after all he was already safely under the invisibility cloak... it was to keep him from interfering with their PLAN. oh and also another thought dont you think if snape was bad he would have been smart enough to put two and two together to reveal harry in the room with them... just a thought neways thanx for listening lemme no what u think of this theory:)

I am 17 years old with 1 year experience in dance but not ballet. I want to learn ballet for guys especially the jumps and pirrouttes. I am assuming that I will be placed in an adult class since I have no experience and quite old to start ballet. Are there any good but cheap ballet school near Palo Alto or San Francisco that I could join this July?

Both of these reformers spoke out against the evils of slavery but their differing points of view were very apparent. Garrison wanted to focus on slavery in the South and not address racial segregation and bias in the North, Douglass spoke out against both and eventually their differences split the American Anti-slavery society. Do you think these two reformers should have centered on just slavery in the south for the sake of unity or not? What do you think?

Sexual essentialism is an idea that sex is a natural force based on our biology. Some would say them men are "visually sexual" while others say that women are inclined to such natural instincts as motherhood. To disagree with sexual essentialism is to believe that culture and surroundings form human sexuality. It is a classic nature V nurture argument. Give me your thoughts on sexual essentialism as an absolute.

Suggestions please...
I have been working on an epic fantasy novel for several years, have over 32 chapters or over 450 pages invested in this work.
There are parts of it I have skipped over a bit and need to fill in and it is not yet done either.
I work full time and have a family so I don't have the opportunity to just go at it only.
How can I reenergize myself during this lengthy process?
Any people out there who have written novels have any ideas for keeping on through it?

If possible does anyone know where I can find a list of New Releases from either May 2007 or June 2007. The books that I am looking for are fiction.

One is about a murder that was committed and the body was dumped into a family's swimming pool.

The other book is about a little Caucasian girl, and it tells her story of how she grew up and I believe she was molested by a family member.

The last one was a vampire story, it was about a teen girl who changes back and forth from human to vampire. She talks about how at her school, everyone thinks she is normal. I know that's vague because there are a lot of vampire books like that. Sorry for being so vague but that's all I can remember. They were New Released books at Borders in June around the time of Father's Day.

Why is it that some people believe that a person can only be moral if they are religious as well? What is your opinion on the subject? Do you think that morality is a product of, and hinges solely on, faith. Or do you feel that it is seperate and independent of it? What about the idea that humans are inherently moral? Do you think that we are born with it?
