Arts & Humanities - 7 November 2007

I've read about this volcanic eruption before in social studies books during class, but this was about two years ago. I know it was somewhere not in the united states, and that it was a very, very, very long time ago.
It destroyed two large places -i think-, but I remember that most of the people were killed when the ash hardened their lungs or something?

I'm almost 100% sure the place where it erupted started with a P.

I'm sorry for the lack of information, but if you know anything, please help. :)

An image of a nude statue made 2 thousand years ago

or people bluring out the "bits" in the images,

personally I dont get it, we all have bits why distort great art because some fools think its rude or something??

is it political correctness or like the evolution vs creation thing?? ------ just another example of old people decided for us whats ok and whats not instead of letting "people" decide for themselves??

comments...its personal for me because i am greek and have seen the great art works of ancient greece and the thought of people distorting them makes me sick........really whats the issue, some sickos find it pornographic or something??

your comments??

information on Hadrian (A.D. 117-138) Roman Emperor. I need 10 things about him. (Example: Personality traits,careers, family, place of bith, and other important things he did). I also need a couple of sentences explainining that thing.
EXAMPLE:
1) Birthday- January 24, 76.Hadrian's bith place was in Rome. Hadrian's actual place of birth was, however, unimportant, since it was one's patria which was crucial.


That's all I need. PLEASE HELP ME :D

As usual the final in an art class, this case photography, is a self portrait. I always do bad on this because I have such a hard personality to capture in an image. If someone said find pictures that represent your personality I would pick the following: Cat Woman, Rossie the Riveter, A rebel without a cause look, complete with black leather jacket. So any Ideal how to mix these into one image? I respectfully request that suggestions be serious ones, because Im at a dead end and this assignment will be my Final. Thank you!

This idea comes from Charles Taylor's 'Malaise of Modernity' but you don't have to have read the book to have an opinion (or do you?).

I know that each has its advantages and disadvantages, but any opinions you have would be great. Also, my main concern is that I'm relatively new at the craft, so do you think one or the other would be easier for a newer writer? I'm also having trouble actually finishing a project, so I'm wondering if one or the other would be helpful for that.

I'm entering a Latin Ballroom dancing competition. I'm not new to competing, but the regular partner I've had for years now broke his leg and he won't be ready for the competition. We started dancing together because we were good friends already through the dance studio. I've never had to find my own partner. If anyone has tips on the best way to find highly qualified partners to audition that would be great. The rest of the people at my dance studio either have partners or aren't ready for my division. What's the best way to "advertise" for a partner where I could get a lot of responses? I'm fairly confident I could audition them and figure out if they're really good. I just need them to come :)

My school is holding a talent show (high school level) and I was pretty sure I would play the piano, but my song seems somewhat dull and my school has many talented musicians. Can you give me any act that's quick yet entertaining? I know singings out there (my voice sucks) along with dancing (not my thing), magic (too geeky--no offense), reciting monologues (boring), comedy acts (too risky); but what else is there or should I just improve my song or choose another? The act must be under 2 minutes so that's what's ruining many pieces I can play. Suggestions/help appreciated!
