I'm buying a Nikon d40 and I just can't find a really good website. There is amazon but it's kind of expensive and I don't know who to trust like there is this site called 1 way photo, it has the d 40 for 450 with a lot of great things included so my question is ....should I trust this site or do you even know this site? and do you recommend anything?

I am taking notes from a textbook.

At the moment I am stuck where it says that there was friction between the allies (the Western allies and the Soviet Union) because Stalin had made the agreement on the Nazi-Soviet Non-Agression Pact with Hitler in 1939, and because the West suspected that he might make a separate peace with Germany.

I understand what it says, but I don't understand why "the Soviet Union making a separate peace with Germany" is a problem to the Western allies.

I know about how the allies had alot of problems regarding the future of Germany, so I will be okay if you refer to these areas.

If you know about the Cold War, please explain this to me. Thank you!

I like American Gods and Good Omens by Neil Gaiman. I also enjoy Piers Anthony's "Xanth" series (a guilty pleasure), and Tolkien's Lord of the Rings Trilogy (but I think The Hobbit or There and Back Again is the best). Any recommendations? I'm stuck reading cheesy romance novels and my brain is fading away! :)

For me my favorite actor could be the next Denzel but is still undervalued today. I'm talking about Eamonn Walker, he played "Kareem Said" in HBO's OZ. He even played Othello, and very good btw.
Another actor was one that is not alive but should have been better praised for his work was Raul Julia.

From what I've heard it's harder for an actor to play a comedic or a villain role but I've never seen these types of performances winning oscars. It always seems like it's the serious performances where the actor plays someone who's disabled, has some mental disorder or some historical figure who gets the oscar. I very rarely see comedic performances being praised and if they do they don't get nearly as much credit as serious performances. I still haven't seen Jim Carrey win an oscar. And Will Smith's best performance is considered to be the one in "The Pursuit of Happyness" rather than his other roles which were comedic. It seems like there's some underlying elitist attitude among the academy that comedy is just downright silly, immature and inferior. They seem to prefer performances that make them cry rather than laugh.

What is your opinion on this?

What do you think that Hogwarts was like when it was first built ? Was it just like a large manor house that expanded itself or what ? And does anyone know what it would be like during 1600-1700 ? 0 points to someone who can give the best answer

The Ontological Argument claims that the concept of God is a concept of a perfect being. And if a being is by definition perfect, then it must exist. After all, if it did not exist, then it would not be perfect. Does this line of reasoning prove that God exists, or is it just a philosopher’s trick?

It needs to be on the site, as I am unable to download. I must be able to read the book by clicking on a link online without downloading.

Born in 1934, I am a comedian who has risen to worldwide fame of late. Very creative, I am a film producer, script writer, a star of London’s West End musical theatre, an award-winning writer and also an acclaimed landscape artist.

Married four times, I am currently married to my fourth wife of 17 years, but only have 4 children to my previous marriages.

I am notorious in my home country for playing elaborate public pranks and am somewhat of an icon. I reached my height of fame thanks to my character acting skills and am most noted for one of my alter egos.

My famous alter ego has reached great heights and now has their own prime time talk show, making her somewhat of a “dame”.
I am not without controversy, but then again performing satire often raises a few eyebrows.
