Arts & Humanities - 9 November 2007

Well, Christmas is coming up and i'm wanting a really great digital camera. The thing is, I don't know the first thing about going about finding a really great one. There are so many out there. I'm a glamour/swimsuit model and I really want to start taking my own amateur pictures just to mess around with the idea. Any ideas? Any really great ones? I've made mistakes of making purchases in the past on ones and they've been terrible and really didn't deliver what I wanted. They don't have to look magazine amazing.. unless there are ones out there like that. I've never handled my material before so I don't know what to look for. Price doesn't matter as I know the good ones can run pretty expensive. I just want a camera that will make me proud of my photos. Haha, it wouldn't hurt if it was pink as well, as I tend to be pretty lame and try to color-cordinate my favorite things. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!

On our older TV sets there are sometimes these little logos that are comprised of 3, colors.
I'm told that what happens is the the prejection intencity of each color will vary depending on what color is needed on a single tiny dot. These tiny dots are all over the screen. The process is duplicated many times over throughout the screen developing moving pictures.
Is anyone familiar with the 3, colors that are used?

Should the subject be facing towards, or away from the sun? I want to make the most out of the natural light, and i dont want it to come up too bright.

I am doing a cultural presentation for my french class and well i decided on doing it on him. Because thats the only thing I could think of doing it on. But its hard finding info on him.

I would like to know what he likes(sports,food, color, etc)?
It would help if anyone could give some info on him.

All I know is his age, his three sons names, and that he has divorced twice. I am still doing research on him and I am doing quick because the due date is almost here.

If you could give me some websites that would help a lot for me. But also some info. Thanks a lot everyone^^> I really appreciate the help.

cause it, the word seems a death sentence for the "ng" and "I IV G"

when written in times new roman font the G spells CuT when read between the lines. So in a way America deserves its freedom from the king and KING for that very fact. Long Live America!! Of course being from Canada, thats gonna make Me alot of enemies in the empire. But Hell, nobody lives forever!

or is America forced to obey and honour the king and KING anyways? meaning they have to make the K a reality?

Could you please give me a justification, brief if you want, but preferably detailed, of the ontological necessity of modern man's existential dilemma?

Thank you.

I have heard that on a few occasions when Russia has been attacked, they used a strategy where they drew the attackers far into the country, and then waited for the winter to set in. The attacking army then became frozen and demoralised, eventually quitting the attack. I just can't remember the specific attackers. I have a feeling that one may have been Germans during a world war, but I'm not at all sure. Does anyone know who were the attacking armies?

i have some questions about the holocaust but upfront im not a hater of jews or a nazi so dont label me as either please.

1-i realize the holocaust happened but why is it that it seems only jews are the ones who are the victims of it. their were also blacks gypsies cripled people political figures etc i realize a big portion were jews but that was a big time religion and still is to an extent so were they persecuted just for being jews?

2-Ive read that the anne frank diary was written in ball point pen yet it wasnt invented untill after WWII is that the truth and if so does it disprove some of the holocaust.

3-Was the US to blame partly for the holocaust for not doing anything when they clearly new about it (visual evidence and refugees)

4-Ive read that their have been studies that showed that their is no gas residue on the so called gas showers?

5-Has their ever been a formal investigation to prove the holocaust or is it more less just everyone saying it happened.

I'm on the verge of possibly writing a story that features fantasy characters like witches, elves, wizards, and so on. I was inspired by a lot of fantasy books like Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings and one thing I was curious about was the authors' inspiration of coming up with spells and languages. I suppose some looked at old languages or latin and drew from them. Is that their explaination for it? I didn't exactly look at the history of how they did it.
The way it's written, it makes it seem like it's a language used all around. For instance, elf language. I read a few stories here and there with elven language and names, and I've never really looked at the difference in their creation, but I assume they are unique for the tale. Anyways, what are some of your opinions/suggestions on creating spells and languages. I'm especially curious when it comes to the evlen language. I've been to the site where you can create elven names from a generator, but I'm trying to avoid that.

what is the best way to remove circular blotches that appear on my photos (mainly those taken at night). I've got a Samsung NV7 digital camera and have cleaned the lens with a suede cloth but these spots appear to be within the lens itself. Any suggestions?

I collect Tom Robbins' books, and have some wonderful first edition softcovers. I've heard about adhesive covers, but am afraid that would diminish the value. Does anyone know what the standard method for preserving paperbacks is?

I haven't asked for feedback in a long while, and I haven't recieved any flickr comments lately either. I'd like to know your opinions/suggestions/criticisms on these photos. I'm sixteen and photography is just a hobby I do on the side. I'm not looking to go professional or anything of that sort, but I do like to improve. Thanks! :D
