I am researching the Worley family from Georgia. My great great grandfather Samuel Marvin Worley, born around 1863, was Newlan worley's son. Newlan 's father was said to be raised by Indians, and when he grew up, he married a Indian. Therefore, Samuel would be 1/2 Native american Indian. I can't find info on Newlan, and I can't find his parents names. I also don't know what tribe they were from. I am also at a dead end, with Samuels 1st wife Nannie Elizabeth Phillips, born 1876.

Does anybody have any idea's where to go from here?

The grand master of the Nights Templar was burned at the stake for acts of heresy. Was he truly a heretic or was the men who burned him the heretics instead?

Christophers Moore's lamb of god, the gospel according to Biff, jesus's childhood pal?

I am about half way through the audiobook version read by Fisher Stevens and it is completely hilarious. I was on the subway home the other night and everyone around me must have thought I was nuts. It is a laugh out loud sort of book.

I am sure christians will be put off by the name but it in no way attacks religion ( I am sure the fundies still won't like it as they have no sense of humor). If you have not read it is is worth picking up the book, but Fisher Stevens does such a good job I think it would be worth it to "find" the audiobook online.

The past 2 years - and possibly even before I worked here, we have worked on something called the "NOVA" awards, which is a type of marketing award contest put out by the American Marketing Association.

I am technically in the marketing department, though I am a designer and not part of this particular association, though I am a member of the AIGA (American Institute of Graphic Arts) - the equivalent, of AMA but for designers. Our department now consists of 3 marketing personnel, 3 designers and our manager.

For this contest, the advisors get together and discuss which pieces they would like to enter in the NOVA awards. They generally pick 3 campaigns to enter, though last year they picked four. (continued)

I'm not sure why, but I always have this theory that even if one small event that happened in your life didn't happen, your life would be completely different.
For example, if you hadn't have broken up with that friend, you would have stayed friends for ages, you would have probably met different people, you would have done different things with this friend, you wouldn't have met the friends you have now etc.

I just made that up, but does anybody else live by this "theory"? Or do you have another "theory" you live by??

if people proceed through the future without killing themselves off then eventually it would have to be possible
even if we are long gone from earth which could explain UFO's?
even if we were catious it seems like somebody would come back irresponsibly
unless people are flawless and do not disobey

i'm just curious what other people think

I'm writing a novel and I need to decide what the main character's name will be. She is 18, Russian, and a dancer (yeah I know stereotypical but believe me the story is not in the least stereotypical). I've narrowed it down to two. Here are the names and their meanings (and yes they are spelled correctly):

Jelena - Shining Light

or

Nika - Born on Sunday

Personally, I like Nika because I've never heard it used in a novel before, but what do you all think?

Thanks and God Bless!!!

I love acting and hope someday i will become an actress. I want to know about auditions for disney or nick shows. or movies like high school musical 3 and stuff. i live in pennsylvania near philledelpha, so i guess its kinda hard for auditions here. i also want to know how the disney chanel and nick show's stars became so famouse. you may say by agents. but most of them did not have agents and probably were chosen by open auditions. i want to know how they knew of the auditions. for example i know for hairspray, the part of nikki, it was an open audition. how do we know when the auditons are. if you can answer these questions i would love that so muchh. thank you so muchhh!
