I need a book that takes place during the medieval ages. Something with kings and queens, knights, prince and princesses. I also want it to be a suspense but it has to have romance in it. So basically a romance novel taking place in that time but with a suspense twist to it..

Anybody got any ideas?

In Ethiopia, we no middle names and no real "last names." The family uses the father's first name... For example, if the father's name is David, the children's last name become David... so if you have 3 kids named John, Mark, Ruth.. Their names would become John David, Mark David and Ruth David. And women never change their last names when they get married... their keep their own last name which is their father's firat name... So everyone's last name is their father's first name. Is this unique to Ethiopia? Are there any other cultures that have similar tradition?

I need to know what the chances might be... I am madly in love, but I never got over my shyness to talk to her enough to get to know her, and to ask her out, she left to go to graduate school, and I was wondering how likely is it that she might come back for the summer to see her family and return to her old job just for the summer, is it possible?

are there any other good books that have a plot similar to "a walk to remember" by nicholas sparks. which involves a tragic love story where two people can't be together because one of them is sick. a story thats sad and deep.

What do You think the main advantages are of SLR cameras, that are impossible to do with average good quality digital cameras
I am thinking of getting this camera for nature photography:
http://www.teds.com.au/www/6/1001102/displayproduct/1993946_1005965_.html
it has the option of full manual control. Do you think it would be any good?

There are no laws that prove time travel possible, correct? If we assume that it is possible and at some point can be successfully carried out...

Does this mean that the human race has gone extinct at some point before reaching this stage and explains why we don't see anyone coming from the future?

What are your comments about this explanation? Does it allow both for the possibility of time travel at some point and the reason as to why we never see it?

Hello,

I currently have about a $700 budget at the current moment, and noticed that futureship has a Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT 8MP SLR Digital Camera With 18-55mm USM Kit for sale on boxing day, $400... is this a good deal?

http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?sku_id=0665000FS10097983&catid=22553&logon=&langid=EN

Or should I just save my cash, and keep saving... and maybe order something off of ebay, like a Nikon 40D kit... for around $700 plus shipping

New to photography, so unsure on what is a better camera, and if the rebel XT is something I should go with...

i think at one time it was about finding a fair ground for women, but now it has become a playing ground for women who are bitter and angry.

I know I have already asked this question in this format but they have been deleted I think it is a good question.
Observation plays a role in the first and fourth steps of the scientific
method. I think it is fair to say that consciosness must said to be a part of observation as it is the the starting and ending point of scientific observation.

(My belief)
god is primary/orginal consiousness as for further explaination I think we should as a whole be dedicated to finding that out.
The reason I believe this is as follows

1900>The Planck constant (denoted h) is a physical constant that is used to describe the sizes of quanta. It plays a central role in the theory of quantum mechanics.
1905-1915>The Copenhagen interpretation is an interpretation of quantum mechanics, usually understood to state that every particle is described by its wavefunction, which dictates the probability for it to be found in any location following a measurement. Each measurement causes a change in the state of the particle, known as wavefunction collapse.
1925-1930>The Uncertainty Principle is now understood not so much as a consequence of trade-offs inherent in the measurement process, but rather as a property of quantum states, corresponding to the statistical properties of measurement in quantum mechanics.
1935>In quantum mechanics, the EPR paradox is a thought experiment which challenged long-held ideas about the relation between the observed values of physical quantities and the values that can be accounted for by a physical theory. "EPR" stands for Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen, who introduced the thought experiment in a 1935 paper to argue that quantum mechanics is not a complete physical theory.
The EPR experiment yields a dichotomy. Either
The result of a measurement performed on one part A of a quantum system has a non-local effect on the physical reality of another distant part B, in the sense that quantum mechanics can predict outcomes of some measurements carried out at B; or...
Quantum mechanics is incomplete in the sense that some element of physical reality corresponding to B cannot be accounted for by quantum mechanics (that is, some extra variable is needed to account for it.)
1964>Bell's theorem is the most famous legacy of the late physicist John S. Bell. It is famous for showing that the predictions of quantum mechanics (QM) are not intuitive, and touches upon fundamental philosophical issues that relate to modern physics. Bell's theorem states:
“ No physical theory of local hidden variables can ever reproduce all of the predictions of quantum mechanics. ”
1978>Wheeler's delayed choice experiment is a thought experiment proposed by John Archibald Wheeler in 1978 (Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Theory, edited by A.R. Marlow, Academic Press). Wheeler proposes a variation of the famous Double-slit experiment of quantum physics, one in which the detector screen can be removed at the last moment, according to a "delayed choice" of the observer, i.e. a choice made after the presumed photon would have cleared the midstream barrier containing two parallel slits. Behind the screen are two tightly focused telescopes, each one aimed to observe its own slit, and it is claimed that seeing a flash of light through one telescope or the other would detect by which path the photon traveled. According to the results of the double slit experiment, if we know which slit the photon goes through, we change the outcome of the experiment and the behavior of the photon. If we know which slit it goes through, the photon will behave as a particle. If we do not know which slit it goes through, the photon will behave as if it were a wave. This wave-particle duality of photons (and in fact all quantum particles) is one of the fundamental mysteries of quantum mechanics.
1982-2007>Bell test experiments serve to investigate the validity of the entanglement effect in quantum mechanics by using some kind of Bell inequality. John Bell published the first inequality of this kind in his paper "On the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen Paradox". Bell's Theorem states that a Bell inequality must be obeyed under any local hidden variable theory but can in certain circumstances be violated under quantum mechanics. The term "Bell inequality" can mean any one of a number of inequalities — in practice, in real experiments, the CHSH or CH74 inequality, not the original one derived by John Bell. It places restrictions on the statistical results of experiments on sets of particles that have taken part in an interaction and then separated. A Bell test experiment is one designed to test whether or not the real world obeys a Bell inequality. Such experiments fall into two classes, depending on whether the analysers used have one or two output channels.(see also aspect experiment)
(my belief)
Today all of this reveals the importance of consciousness and how it relates to "physical reality" Which exists as only a probable non-local timeless state prior to observation, further to say that "physical reality" can or does exist prior to human observation necessitates a primary or original consciousness to make the observation/state collapse. Deeper still, the consciousness must be said to have a non-quantum/physical quality or you will reach infinite descent which is not possible in a quanta/physical reality as quanta are finite therefore at the end of the chain of physical obsevation there must exist a nonquantum quality to the nature of concsiousness for the obseveration of physical reality. So it is logical to either dismiss classical assumptions about empirical knowledge and a need to accept the non-quantum and primary consciousness aspects that are required of physical reality both prior to and existent after the evolution of other forms of consciousenss and also that physical reality is
dependent upon and to some extent determined by the primary/original and our own individal/self consciousness. We should shift to a a paradign that allows to explore the full of reality and not just the physical aspects of reality.
