In the book cover of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince [Scholastic], there is Albus Dumbledore and Harry beside. They're in front of a basin. Im confused. Is the 'basin' the pensieve? or is it the goblet they saw in the cave?..

minus death as an answer, I think it it is perpetuation of egos will to live regardless, confronted with the awareness of our powerlessness to have that control i.e. answer to the question. To be is our only option. To not is to avoid GOD. The unknowable. i'm unknowable?

Ruby Dee is an unacknowledged genius.

When I saw her work in `Number Two` which was shown at last year`s London Film Festival, I predicted that she would be nominated for an Oscar if not a BAFTA.

Sadly, she was nominated for neither.

I have recently read her collection of reminiscences including some of the best modern poetry I`ve read. She talks about Diana Sands, whom I too thought was superb....mentioned her in a par which was cut from `Down With Myth America` (New York Times, 1970)

One particular poem ranks with the very best of poetry from any place, any time and this is `I Couldn`t....I Just Couldn`t` It is about all the things we wished we had told a loved one but didn`t or couldn`t. I wept.

Does anyone know where I can contact Ruby Dee?

Okay so I really want to start my own small time business. Nothing big, but I want to atleast give it a try. I do ALOT of photoshopping and things like that also. So I was wondering what would be the best camera for me to purchase. I took 2 different Photography classes during my senior year of high school so I know a very limited amount about cameras. We worked more on film cameras and film developing process insted of spending much time on Digital. So I was wondering if any one would help. I know a bit about shutter speeds, aperture, ISO equivalent, and Image resolution etc..etc. I was wondering what is a good ISO and shutter speed for nearly studio quality? How much megapixels do I really need? I narrowed my choices down to just two cameras.

My budget is at a $350 max. Here are the two cameras.

How in the world did we (who did not yet have yahoo answers) ever finish our homework? Oh, that's right. We actually read the books. I don't mean to be mean, but does anybody else find this a tad ridiculous?

I have a really tight grip, after exams it feels like my wrist has been twisted. When I write I press down really hard as well. Is there some sort of pen that like slows down my writing, like a pencil (which I can't use during exams). Because when I do use a pencil I write better, because there is less "flow" if that makes sense

I really need guidance to help my sanity. My friend has been very clingy in the past few weeks because his life is basically falling apart. Heres a list of things that has happened to him:

1. His father passed away when he was in high school
2. His mom just had surgery
3. He just got kicked out of college
4. The girl he loves doesn't love him back

Every time I see him these are the only subjects he talks about. I tried being the good friend by listening to his problems but hell it gets really tiresome. I feel like crap afterwards and I start to feel depressed. I want to tell him to shut up but that will only further hurt him because in the past year we have developed a pretty close relationship. The problem is that I want to enjoy life but he seems to bring it down for me. What can I do to save my friendship without being a total a s s hole? Also I am getting tired of seeing him...I want to tell him I need space but he has no one to turn to.

What do you think of it. Is it good or bad? What do you think the main themes are, any feedback is great because i want to enter it into a competition and i need to see how to improve it first.

This is the poem:

She hides behind normal lies,
The ideas that tear her up inside,
They rip and wrench the pain intense,
She cries for broken ties.

The truth if told would set her free,
But break her spirit as well you see,
For the lies she hides concerns us all,
Its different, Its scary, Its not normal

Her heart is black to men around,
But the light shine on women proud,
Her affection for sin must be kept,
Away from the world that she regrets.

To have affairs with herself,
Not even faithful to the truth,
The truth that burns her soul in hell,
The deamon's hands will take control.

Like a puppet on a string,
She's controlled by other things
The secrets that must be kept,
So that she may be exempt.
Exempt from the world of pain,
That could hav

Do you understand what I'm saying? If you lived in an area, did you voluntarily fight for the Americans, or could you still side with the British with little retaliation? Did the colonists force people to fight with them? I understood that many remained loyal to the British, hence the moniker 'Torys', but were many of them still forced to fight on the Revolutionary side?

I know I'm being a little bit vague, but do you understood the point of my question?

Your love, dear man, is as lovely to me
As sweet soothing oil to the limbs of the restless,

As clean ritual robes to the flesh of Gods,
As fragrance of incense to one coming home
Hot from the smells of the street
It is like nipple-berries ripe in the hand,
Like the tang of grainmeal mingled with beer,
Like wine to the palate when taken with white bread.

While unhurried days come and go,
Let us turn to each other in quiet affection,
Walk in peace to the edge of old age.
And I shall be with you each unhurried day,
A woman given her wish: to see
For a lifetime the face of her lord.

What kinds of inferences do you make about the speaker based on the things to which she compares. Also, How does the concrete language contribute to the speaker's definition of her love?
