This is the first time I'm buying pre-cut mats for photos, so I'm trying to figure this stuff out on my own. I found a clearance sale on 9"x12" double-matted photo mats from mat shop.com--the price is $42.00 for 25 mats (which is $1.70 per mat). The website says they're selling at clearance because they have an odd-sized opening (but just happens to be the dimensions I'm looking for). So here are a some questions.
1) Is this a good deal considering these are good quality mats (not sure if they are archival quality though).
2) Is there a clear distinction between archival and non-archival mats, or are there various gradings?
3) I read a DIY book about matting where the author said to be careful about cutting your own mats because it can lead to carpal tunnel. (I just got OVER carpal tunnel from typing so I'm not to keen on an activity that's going to put me at risk.

Dr Alfered Southwick a dentest developed an idea of an electric chair and Harnold Brown who worked for Thomes Edeson also invented the electic chair.In 1986 or dont remember exactily the details.New York state developed an idea that sufication by hanging is cruel and un usual punishment and a mew method like the electic chair would be more humane.I think the long drop which causes a broken neck is more humame than electricution.Could some one exlain how execution is more humane

I know that Spears, halberds, glaives, etc... are polearms, but I was wondering if a War Hammer with a shaft long enough to be used with 2 hands would fall under that contergory.

Also, were two handed hammers more used in melee combat, or against mounted soldiers?

Back you call me
Sickening sweet words.
The honey that pours out of that
Tiger’s eye.
That which paralyses me so.

Through my skin you ooze
Towards my heart
In my veins you seep
Around my body
Right around
Through me

Though I do not
Expect you to linger.
You never do

And I have learnt
To never long for
All of you

There are questions the answers to which can be easily found, the questions that most people know the answers to. Then there are questions which each person knows the answers of only individually, the answers that one might not be able to make others understand fully. But there are questions that no one knows the answers to and yet questions constantly stand. These are big questions, questions about life, the universe and God. In my view these questions stand and play a role in our live, in the way we know things. What is in them?

Recently i ask if mr Obama was too young to be President;
it transpired that some of you said he needed more experience.
I guess,as someone replied,we should look to the "example"
of the late president robert Kennedy, for a real political leader
with only limited experience (of the "job").
Perhaps i should ask what exactly would be the ideal experience for such an exalted "high" position(!)
No doubt some of you know exactly the qualities that you want
(in a person who just "runs" in the election).
And i guess they must have a "campaign manager"who knows how best to use and spend the campaign funds!
Whatever;
So feel free to answer on hilary's views or lack-of-experience,
(though we could all sincerely hope and work for a reduction
in terrorism,one of the modern scurges of our world).
And have a good day,very much like mine has started(!)

i smile on the outside;

i make them think that i'm okay.

it seems i'd be a great actor,

i put on a great show every day.


they always are oblivious.

they think that i am fine...

they cannot see the truth,

All of the pain that lays inside.


i make them think im happy,

i give them what they want...

the "nothing much..."; the, "fine and you?"

i know they dont care fo the truth

~

in bed at night, i struggle...

i fight the demon's taunting me.

the truth they say is agonizing,

knowing what i'll never be...


i never will be perfect.

i was born with all these flaws;

never will somebody love me,

i will remain just a lost cause.


breaking every second,

i realize i can't revive...

dead, batered, and broken.

i still smile on the outside...

My friend gives me books as presents, but he always reads them first. He obviously doesn't think its at all wrong. Last time I did it I said to him, sarcastically, "Thanks, but rather than getting a new book, reading it then giving it to me, why not just by second hand books since one person reading my book is the same as two or three". The latest book he gave me was a library second with the sticker peeled off the spine. It was to be the last in a set that I paid $20 for every other book new for, so I just went and bought the last book myself but read the library one so I need not damage the spine of the new one.

How do I tactfully tell this guy that I want new presents or none at all. TACTFULLY.

Was the shrine 'Shrobonobelagola' at Karnataka, India was built during 600 to 500 BC? It belongs to which religion? Who, when, why it was built & how implements were arranged or organised? Was it a trade centre? Whether traders of certain religion took initiative to build? Whether the first Mayurian emperor Chandragupta visited this shrine; if so when?
