I'm so excited I got my husband to take ballroom lessons with me! I found a place that offers group lessons, but they don't start until January.
Which dvds are good to get started at home? Also, any good rule books? They have a few competitions around here for adults of all levels and I would love to try one out in the future, I just need to know what all is involved in getting started.
I live in Atlanta if anyone has specific tips for that...
Thanks :)

Hi people, I don't have access to online buying power because I don't have a credit card - but I live in the San Francisco Bay Area - how hard can this be? Are there any chains that carry it? Other supply stores? Michaels didn't know what I was talking about - and it wasn't at any of the other local places I went to. Help please!

2.)Give a summary of the poem each stanza.
3.)What is the theme?

Please help!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My spirit wails for water, water now!
My tongue is aching dry, my throat is hot
For water, fresh rain shaken from a bough,
Or dawn dews heavy in some leafy spot.


My hungry body’s burning for a swim
In sunlit water where the air is cool,
As in Trout Valley where upon a limb
The golden finch sings sweetly to the pool.


Oh water, water, when the night is done,
When day steals gray-white through the windowpane,
Clear silver water when I wake, alone,
All impotent of parts, of fevered brain;
Pure water from a forest fountain first,
To wash me, cleanse me, and to quench my thirst!

Group X has stated that they will work to remove the small things they dislike from the government so that it will be easier to remove the bigger things at a later date, and this is semi-public knowledge.

Then someone not affiliated with group X makes a statement about how they want the small things removed from the government and you argue that it will only lead to the larger things being removed as well, because of how tirelessly group X works towards their goal.

would this be fallacious? Is it a slippery slope if its true?

I'm doing a project on postwar Berlin -- specifically, the radical economic changes and the interesting things that got turned into currency (alcohol, cigarettes, etc), and I'm on the hunt for memoirs, journals, or any other good primary source you might know. As my research has always been on the war itself, I'm only coming up with works written by soldiers. This time I'm hoping to branch out a little and look especially at the civilian population. I'd like to include some things from returning soldiers, of course, but most of the memoirs I find only deal with their experiences in the war and very little, if anything, about what came after.

So that's where you can help. Know of any interesting sources? Economic analyses of the subject would also be helpful, but only if they're written in layman's terms. I'm a history major, not an economics/business major, and math in any guise usually makes me cringe.

This was the story that got me hooked on Fantasy/Sci-Fi which of course is not his main 'forte'. But that cheap Mass Market paperback was one I didn't put down for 3 days(no easy task for somebody with attention issues).

I don't know about you, but I wouldn't like it if I couldn't at anytime, go for some challenge and do something, like even having any physical senasation of pain or fatigue which is what you feel if you're on some challenge, whether it's doing a dirty job on the show "Dirty Jobs" for fun, or seeing how good I could do at fighting someone for the fun of it. For example, you know those WWE wrestlers Eddie Guerrero and Andre "The Giant" who passed away, what if they were curious enough even up there in Heaven to see how good they'd do in a WWE match against the other guy? If everything is perfectly pleasant and peaceful up there, then that'd mean there's no loud music, no WWF/WWE matches, no racing, and no football games.


That doesn't sound like a very fun, exciting heaven to me...

trough history, every single war has been started under religious reasons, or they've been involved somehow. at last, we humans need to believe in something and religion give us something to believe and to fight and death if necesary.

Im asking -YOU-. Not for me. I dont want to know how I can be happy, I want to know how -you- people out there remain happy knowing you live in this chaotic world and dog eats dog society. How do you remain happy working those 9-5 shifts 5 days a week, trying hard to make that money and feed your family? What keeps you happy?

as far as feelings and basic thoughts are concerned? do we overrate our thoughts as being exclusive to ourselves. when was the last time you really thought deeply? did not your feelings bring you back to earth before you finished the thought? is there something we have forgotten? or ignored?

I read a lot of Stephen King back in the day. There was this one short story by him that I swear I read, but can't find anymore.

What I remember about it was that this guy and someone else (I think) are driving, but their radio gets all weird, and then there are these flying creatures like pterodactyls or something. The people from the car end up taking refuge in this supermarket or some kind of store. Can't remember exactly what happens then, but then at the end, I think they run back out to the car and drive away, and they figure out these things are from another dimention that has opened up on earth or something.

That's kind of vague and maybe I got some stories smooshed together, but does anybody know what story this is? I think it's from one the first couple of King's short story collections.
