I'm 19-year-old man but I look like I'm 15 plus I have braces...I live in LA and I want to be an actor. I was thinking that maybe when casting directors need a 15-year-old or something, wouldn't it be a lot easier to deal with a legal adult who looks 15 rather than a real 15-year-old who is legally a minor?

I am a ballroom dancer and this really lovely lady asked me to help develop and perform a salsa routine with her. I am an intermediate dance student and she is a new but incredibly talented dancer, not to mention that she is taking the entire studio by storm. Granted that there are better or far more advanced students at the studio, she chose me (I don't know if she had asked other guys at the studio to do this prior to asking me, but because she is very sweet and very attractive, they must have been morons to have turned her down, my guess is that she didn't asked anybody else). The reason I accepted is because I am extremely attracted to her. Could this possibly mean that she is interested in pursuing something more? Any ideas on how to handle this situation?

read a book called The Longest Heist...
this is what it says on the back of the book.
Five years ago I was thirteen and everything was perfect. I had a loving family, the greatest friends ever, and an amazing house stocked with everything you could ever imagine. I was living a dream, too bad I was about to wake up.
honestly.... after reading that would you consider reading the book.

I have difficulty finding photos on My Pictures. How can I see them all at My Pictures? Why is Picassa better than My Pictures for seeing photos that are on the hard drive?

Many times people come here and ask, "What's a good lens for scenic photography?" They get the standard answer that pretty much says, "The wider, the better." Yes, I admit that 12-24 is a "classic" scenery lens, but is that the only answer?

Here's a new composite that I made for consideration in this question. I didn't spend hours getting rid of the haze, so I apologize for that, but that's not the point of this exercise.

Something totally random, but I wonder who you all think would have the more creative skills to write a book.

Ode to Cassandra

I had a father who couldn't show love
and a mother who loved on certain conditions..

I had an uncle who liked to drink
but it didn't like him
and many times lost control
one time beat my bare ***
until my brother dragged him away
and punched his lights out...

I had a brother named for my father
and his father before him
and he was older than me
by eight years
He was always very sweet to me
Until after he taught me things
showed me things
he felt guilty about showing me...

Grandfather loved me
in a more special way than most
even though he was old
and didn't have much
but he had plenty and he gave it
to me...

Kimmy was my best friend
Hugged me everytime we parted
and every time we got together
And we pretended to be boy and girl
then stopped pretending
and I showed her things
she moved away and I was sad...

Amber came along when I was dying
a lonely death
and gave me life
taught me a few chords on the guitar
we made love and made music
and then she got scared
and died a lonely death...

My mother is still alive
My father died and his father before him
My brother walks and talks his death
I don't know where my uncle is
and I really don't care...

But you know amid all of this
there is a song
words and music
a heartbeat
Long black hair
Dark eyes looking back at me
in the mirror
and I sing
for I know the truth...

I was there
when it all happened
I just got in the way of the battles
some had with themselves
I was not real to them
but purely an object...
It was the pure that saw me
for who I was
And in the light they left behind
I see myself for who I am
the bruises healed
the heart mended
I am strong
beautiful
sensuous
passionate
and in the place of false modesty
above all else
honest.

I already know it's possible to get them through the HarperCollin's FirstLook program, and the SimonSaysTeen PulseIt program may give some away in the future. I've heard of people who work in bookstores and people who have connections to authors getting them but, are there other ways?

This is for an art project. The concept is showing the relationship between opposites that can never (physically) meet, such as sunrise and sunset, or birds and fish. That's two... I need at least four more pairings.

Thanks!
