The Nikon 12-24 doesn't have a lot of great reviews. Cost too much and doesn't perform accordingly. Would an 18-55 get me decent photos? Or should I go a bit wider? I would like a lens that is versatile (weddings, portraits, indoors, etc). The Nikkor 18-55 only goes to an F-Stop of 3.5. Is that enough for indoors? The Tamron 18-200 doesn't have great reviews either. What about Sigma 10-20? Is that too wide? Would I get use out of it after the trip?

If america never got involved in ww2? if germany defeated britain after the battle of britain lets say the soviets defeated the nazis and gained all of their former territory including britain and north africa. suppose the soviets defeated japan and gained all of its territory in mainland asia. could russia have been more powerful than america by dictating the world economic system if all of europe, asia, and africa were under its control? or could america still have the means to come out on top?

I know i have been asking many questions on acting lately, but i just want max. information! SO i have some more, if you would be so kind to answer!...read on..

1)What are the best acting techniques out there? (how do you BECOME the character?)

2)How can you get an agent? What is the process?

3)Where can you get monologues that show off acting abilities, and would castign directors accept monologues you have written?

4)How do you plan on making it? Internet, Luck, Family ect...

5)What character would you like to play?

6)What makes an amazing actor/What makes a bad actor? (Deatail)

7)If you are well educated, would you have more chances of making it, or not (because this industry is mainly about using people and if you are smart they will be scared?//.)

8)HOW DO YOU MAKE AN AUDITION TAPE and are your chances good to getting a role with one?

Thank you, aslo if you have any of your own tips/tricks/advice/words of wisdom to share pleaso do!

What do you find morally reprehensible? Putting aside the obvious things like - (murder, crime, rape, abuse, paedophilia) do you consider things like secrecy, lies, betrayal, infidelity, deception as being morally reprehensible? Where do you draw the line?

Where do your morals come from? Society, parents, peers?

Have you ever done something you though of as being morally reprehensible "got away with it" and NOT regretted it or been remorseful? Would you do something morally reprehensible IF you could get away with it, not get caught, be found out, and not have to endure any negative consequences? Is the thought of detection, the ramifications and the consequences the main influence of your behaviours and actions?

Please don't bother with the God stuff..... really not interested in bible quotes and recruitment into the God squad. (No offence intended, its just not my thing)

I was looking at a tutorial on how to paint in photoshop, but concerning the picture they started out with I'd like to know if they used a tablet for the base drawing or started out with a pencil sketch and then did something with the tablet to make it look like it does in the black and white stage.

thx for the comments in "part I" question,,
My defence --
everyone who read it,,got confused abt what i compared on,,and u have focused on what i compared with!
i compared things on their 'abstract' property!

i can prove santa doesn't exist through my method!
-->
Santa's absence won't question the existence of the universe!
but absense of god,,or say absense of mathematics would definately do!
another example-
do dragons exists?
dragons and mathematics r both abstracts!
but absense of dragon's won't question the existence of universe,,unlike that of absense of mathematics would surely do!
i studied on this,,,and it is not that easy to refute my idea!
remember,,i m comparing abstracts to abstracts,,
all having same causes and effects!mostly,,compare an abstract with mathematics,,if they follow same conditions as mathematics do, they exists!
if u say mathematics is not abstract,,what is "complex numbers"? mathematics is stronger than beliefs,,(continued)...

Why is he mysterious? Why would he keep hidden messages in his paintings like "The Last Supper", and most especially enigmatic "Mona Lisa"?

I read in a work of fiction that in the seventeenth century a man would use a sillk handkercheif as a condom as contraception. Anybody know if there's any truth to this? doesn't sound like it would work too well, but, well, very little of their medecine did. They were using leeches, and cutting off limbs in the 17th c. so...just wondering if anyone else has heard this one.

I have always felt a great evil inside of me. not a demon or something like that, but my own self.

I've been watching Smallvile lately, and Lex reminds me of myself in a lot of ways.

Ever since I was little, I felt like I was destined to go down the wrong path.

Like something I can't change.

I understand evil, and bad, but yet when I watch movies I'm always rooting for the villains, even when I think what their doing is wrong.


when I was a Christian I feared I would someday be the anti-Christ.


I don't ponder on these thoughts daily, but every once in awhile They come up.

It doesn't feel like I'll be a petty criminal, or a mass murder either, but it feels something large scale, something everyone would see as bad.

What are your views on this?

What do you think it means?
