I'm not talking about your predictions of the future because those associations are based on past experiences.

So what are some books that give you knowledge that is useful in life. I know all knowledge is useful but what is common knowledge that allows you to grow in what you Know?

When he's speaking of the ship what hes he comparing it to?
OLD IRONSIDES

By Oliver Wendell Holmes
September 16, 1830

Ay, tear her tattered ensign down!
Long has it waved on high,
And many an eye has danced to see
That banner in the sky;
Beneath it rung the battle shout,
And burst the cannon's roar;
The meteor of the ocean air
Shall sweep the clouds no more.

Her deck, once red with heroes' blood,
Where knelt the vanquished foe,
When winds were hurrying o'er the flood,
And waves were white below,
No more shall feel the victor's tread,
Or know the conquered knee;
The harpies of the shore shall pluck
The eagle of the sea!

Oh, better that her shattered bulk
Should sink beneath the wave;
Her thunders shook the mighty deep,
And there should be her grave;
Nail to the mast her holy flag,
Set every threadbare sail,
And give her to the god of storms,
The lightning and the gale!

Painted images in your mind,
of beautiful things and times,
of people you've never seen,
of places you've never been
of fear like you've never felt,
But only in a dream!

It seems like if you have to actively choose to believe, then it wouldn't be true belief. Any thoughts?

I'm confused- How are Pip's expectations different/similiar from those of Joe, Miss Havisham, Estella, and Magwitch?

Does this mean expectatations as in what do they think Pip's "expectations" or inheritence will bring him/how it will change him?

What contributions did "Primal Theatre" of pre-history give us that we still use today? (the time of the mammoths...) Give examples from TV, film or theatre productions that use those contributions.

I need 7 elements for this and I already have these 6: storytelling, religion and theatre connection, rhythm, dance, masks and seasonal acts.

Can someone help me with the 7th contribution from primal theatre that we still use today?

Thanks a lot!

i've heard that infra red light starts at about 800nm and also that certain other types of light emitted from bulbs, eg sodium, mercury etc only emit light upoto certasin freqencies. i think tungsten emits lights into the range of infa red (730nm +) but what does it stop at. Im trying to find a infra red pass filter to put in front of a camera to take a photo of a car number plate with its head lights on using an infrared lamp and an infra red filter on the camera. the idea is the filter will block the headlight glare but dont know what frequency filter is required? any help?

In the Deathly Hallows, Voldemort murders Snape in the Skrieking Shack to get the Elder Wand. A weird gasious blue liquid comes from Snape, and he tells Harry to take it. Hermione gives him a flask..and he well...takes it. I didn't see that liquid mentioned again in the book. Was this a mistake, or is there going to be another book? There might be another answer, that's why I'm asking.

I'm only 20 so I lack the experience to know if I am or not. Last week a friend of mine died and it's got me thinking about the frailty of life.

What can be done? Does it go away when you're older if you do start applying yourself?

I have a storage container full of art supplies and paintings. For ten years I painted, was paid for artist-in-residencies, had shows in New York City, sold several paintings a year.

But about ten years ago I started doing computer art and only do sketchbooks to keep track of ideas.

I think if I had a workspace I might get back to painting.

So how do I know when to just donate all the good supplies to a school and toss all the work except a couple of paintings and a portfolio of work I've traded over the years (Kenny Scharf, Tom Otterness, etc.)?

How do you get inspired?

Will I go to hell if I find women attractive. I've never acted on it though. But if I think about it, is that a sin. If it is, Im sining anyway, so why fight temptation?Am I doomed to go to hell anyway?
What do you think?

The Gila monster is a lizard, with bright beadlike rings of scales in black & orange that glitter in the desert sun. Commonly thought of as beautiful. Would you kill it, run from it, or let it go its way?
