What type of sound does a gibson les paul jr give or should i get a fender mustang?
i really wanted one but i dunno if i should get a les paul jr by gibson or a mustang by fender, i play nirvana is stuff, green day, blink - 182 and write music and i dont know the sound of the les paul jr to a les paul standard, apperatlly it doesnt have as great of sound but it is more for punk/alternative, what do you think i should do
Any Les Paul have a great fat sound for punk or blink 182 stuff. Don;t kid yourself. I used to own an old 1953 Les Paul Special which looked a lot like the junior. The sound was simply amazing, lots of bite which you can

What do you think of my poem?
Clearing out my closet,
I ran into a frame,
A picture inside,
With some people that probably have names,
To the left corner were to wide eyed kids,
One was you,
And the other was me.
We were young,
But in love,
Things didnt matter,
But sometimes even love isnt enough,
We hope and wish,
And read story books,
They tell us to love unconditionally.
But how can you love unconditionally,
When someone leaves you?
When someone hurts you?
When someone doesnt need you?
Damn that photo brought back some memories,
Some were good,
Like the time,
You told me everything would be alright.
But with the good,
Comes the bad,
Come the sad,
Comes the pain,
Comes the hurt,
But what hurt the most,
Was when you told me you loved, me
But the sad thing was I knew that could never be enough.
But Ill love youForever
It is very good! I like it. It is very descriptive, maybe even too descriptive. Maybe try to broaden some of the sentences so it doesn

Assassins Order in History?
I am a fan of the video game assassins creed, I am told it is based on real history, So i am wondering if there is any info or history of this secret assassin order there is history on the templars so hopefully there is info on the assassins thank you
The Assassins were an Ismaili sect based in the castle of Alamut in the Elburz Mountains. They did use assassination as an instrument of policy. Bernard Lewis wrote a book called The Assassins - A Radical Sect in Islam
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hashshashin
The crusades were to protect people to get to Jerusalem without getting killed by radicals in the areas they had to cross. There were no such things as assassins. It was made up to have a good plotline.

Do you sell nature or macro photography?
Do you sell nature or macro photography? I am still young and kind of inexperienced at beginning business. I was highly thinking of starting up a small photography business, or just selling my photography as a hobby. I take tons of shots ranging from flowers, to textures, insects, macro shots of many things, and a lot of nature shots.
I would love to start selling my photography in frames for people to purchase(just not really online). I was wondering if you personally sell your photography. If so, do you sell it out of a shop, or store, or something else? Or do you sell it framed at any type of fairs?

Is the history channel recognized as a legitimate source for history authenticity?
Yes, the History Channel can usually be credited as a reliable source, as it works with some of the best scholars in the areas covered in each program. It is, however, widely known/suspected that there is a conservative bias regarding all their episodes, most of which are based on theory not fact. Now I enjoy watching the history channel and learning about new events just as much as anyone; but if I want to get more in depth and accurate details, then I will hit the books because I recognize that it is akin to wikipedia but through a different medium.

Ultimately, the History Channel is informative, innovative and interesting, covering topics many consider especially dry. Other than the discovery channel, nothing compares to its covering of wide subjects, from U.S. history to world history to ancient history.

Is it harder to become a teen actress if you have thin lips?
I know someone in the buisness and I live near LA im planning on doing some commercials (the producer is a family friend weve talked and he said he would put me in some commercials) and i really want to become an actress (im 16) and eventually audition for some shows once I have some commercials on my resume. I believe I am attractive (im not trying to be cocky i just am being confident in myself i sound stuck up sorry) and thin, but my one fault is i have very thin lips. actually a very thin upper lip, the lower is fine. is it harder to get into the buisness b/c of this? Im really self concious of it and ive noticed alot of actresses, especially my age, have really plump lips.

Do you ever feel bad/sad/jealous when other people get more compliments on their story?
Or if their story is better and popular.
Is that normal for authors to get?
YEAH duh it is the human nature to be jealous when somebody does better. But think of it this way that person that did better is not becoming a better author. They probably have many mistakes with there writing but nobody is going to tell them because at that moment they are the center of attention. While (i am assuming you are the one that feels bad/sad/jealous) you get to correct your work and perfect it. And after a while these people are going to see the other persons mistakes meanwhile you have perfected your work and they can see that. Anyway why does it matter??? yeah you are going to feel bad but use those feeling to write to your fullest potential (ok i know that sounds lame but just go with it lol) There opinion shouldn

The thick smell of smoke filled the air and crowded my mind as I tried to think. My brain was tingling, making me unable to think straight. It was these woods; they were cutting off my mind, and making this whole dang trip frustrating. I finally racked my brain for an idea, to take a little detour. I carefully unzipped the nylon tent, so Hazel wouldnt wake. It was dark, making it so you could only see the soft outline of the thickets and trees. Quickly, I ran to the other side of the campground, flinching with every crunch of the gravel. The damp log, which I decided to sit on, was perched around the burnt out campfire.
I was supposed to like the woods, wasnt I? I mean, my name is Willow; shouldnt I enjoy the fact that all around me was trees and wilderness? Maybe, but I couldnt with the constant, nagging thought of who was here with me. I was here with Hazel, my enemy since the beginning of the school year. Why was I here?! I kept telling myself it would be good; just to keep my insanity, but I knew that this stupid trip wouldnt help anything. In the distance, a bird chirp echoed through the site. I made a silent promise to myself that I would somehow come out of this place with a new lesson. There was absolutely no point in suffering this much, with no motivation or reward.
Thinking back to the beginning of the school year, I realized it was the reason I was here.
* * *
I woke in a cold sweat from my nightmare. My clock read five in the morning. Today; my first day of the seventh grade; I had loathed all summer. All I wanted right now was to be able to say I am staying at elementary school. Middle school was a stupid thing. Middle school was like being stuck in between two worlds, and not exactly fitting in either. I had finished elementary school, but I wasnt yet in high school. Knowing I was at this point, made me feel like a misfit, which didnt match any of my friends views on our new grade. They were ecstatic, and have been waiting for this day all of their lives.
I laid there for a minute studying my room, which, for some reason I didnt know, looked vaguely unfamiliar. It was large, and wide, considering the fact it was originally the master bedroom. My parents thought it was too small when we moved here, and created a renovation project for a more appropriate sized room. They got the bigger room while I got this one. In my room, there was a new pine dresser in the corner, cluttered with academic awards and trophies, which were embarrassing to look at. My eyes slowly drifted to the right of it; coming into my view was the TV, which hung on the wall. Underneath it was a small coffee table that had my outfit for today set out, and a navy blue backpack, stuffed with notebooks and freshly sharpened pencils.
I sighed and rolled over on my stomach breathing in the heavy scent of my pillow. I tried closing my eyes, but every time that happened I kept returning to the nightmare; the nightmare of the first day. I had that strange pull in my gut telling myself not to go. Then again, I knew I was exaggerating. Seventh Grade wasnt such a big deal. Maybe, the only reason for my nervousness was that, it was the first time I was staying in the same school, for a second year.
My father was a lawyer, a very professional and successful lawyer, and his job required him to move to different states. Honestly I never really saw the point in moving. Its not like my dad was ever around. No one in the family ever saw him, so why did my mother and I have to move with him? Arguing over it though, would be pointless. He was a lawyer, and never lost an argument. Not even my mother, who always had that way of ending an argument, and getting whatever she wanted, could take on my father.
My mother, Meredith, had grown up very wealthy. Her parents, like mine, had important jobs. Her parents, if I remember correct, owned a fruit business that had taken off well. She later on grew up to marry a wealthy husband, my dad, to care for her every need. Sometimes I considered the thought that maybe my mother was spoiled, maybe she was inconsiderate of everything around her. She was definitely stuck up, with the way she would complain if she didnt have everything she owned handed to her on a silver platter. We would get calls from the credit card company saying she maxes out her cards too much. My mother would come home with bags and boxes of clothes from designer stores, and then leave them in her walk in closet with the tag still on it, probably never to be used.
The point is, we move almost every summer, because some new company offers my father a job, and no matter how many times I complained they were both against me.
Willow, My mother would tell me. We could use the money. Think about it. You will like it there. Its not like you didnt see this one coming! She would tell me, not even looking at my face. Of course, she would agree to it. She was a spender. The more my father was making, the more my mothe

i made a small guitar out of fimo, then put it in the oven, and its all very strong, but i feel that the thinner parts of the guitar are more fragile. will varnishing the fimo with special spray make it stronger?
if not, what does harden the fimo?
It depends what you use.
I would suggest you use an epoxy resin, like Envirotex Lite, which you can find in a kit form at craft stores like Michaels, or in the paint department of hardware stores like Home Depot.
It is a 1:1 mixture, you mix equal parts of resin and hardener in a disposable cup (not waxed paper!) and then paint or pour it over your object. It is also called

DOES THIS SOUND AMATEUR?
The thick smell of smoke filled the air and crowded my mind as I tried to think. My brain was tingling, making me unable to think straight. It was these woods; they were cutting off my mind, and making this whole dang trip frustrating. I finally racked my brain for an idea, to take a little detour. I carefully unzipped the nylon tent, so Hazel wouldnt wake. It was dark, making it so you could only see the soft outline of the thickets and trees. Quickly, I ran to the other side of the campground, flinching with every crunch of the gravel. The damp log, which I decided to sit on, was perched around the burnt out campfire.
I was supposed to like the woods, wasnt I? I mean, my name is Willow; shouldnt I enjoy the fact that all around me was trees and wilderness? Maybe, but I couldnt with the constant, nagging thought of who was here with me. I was here with Hazel, my enemy since the beginning of the school year. Why was I here?! I kept telling myself it would be good; just to keep my insanity, but I knew that this stupid trip wouldnt help anything. In the distance, a bird chirp echoed through the site. I made a silent promise to myself that I would somehow come out of this place with a new lesson. There was absolutely no point in suffering this much, with no motivation or reward.
Thinking back to the beginning of the school year, I realized it was the reason I was here.

I woke in a cold sweat from my nightmare. My clock read five in the morning. Today; my first day of the seventh grade; I had loathed all summer. All I wanted right now was to be able to say I am staying at elementary school. Middle school was a stupid thing. Middle school was like being stuck in between two worlds, and not exactly fitting in either. I had finished elementary school, but I wasnt yet in high school. Knowing I was at this point, made me feel like a misfit, which didnt match any of my friends views on our new grade. They were ecstatic, and have been waiting for this day all of their lives.
I laid there for a minute studying my room, which, for some reason I didnt know, looked vaguely unfamiliar. It was large, and wide, considering the fact it was originally the master bedroom. My parents thought it was too small when we moved here, and created a renovation project for a more appropriate sized room. They got the bigger room while I got this one. In my room, there was a new pine dresser in the corner, cluttered with academic awards and trophies, which were embarrassing to look at. My eyes slowly drifted to the right of it; coming into my view was the TV, which hung on the wall. Underneath it was a small coffee table that had my outfit for today set out, and a navy blue backpack, stuffed with notebooks and freshly sharpened pencils.
I sighed and rolled over on my stomach breathing in the heavy scent of my pillow. I tried closing my eyes, but every time that happened I kept returning to the nightmare; the nightmare of the first day. I had that strange pull in my gut telling myself not to go. Then again, I knew I was exaggerating. Seventh Grade wasnt such a big deal. Maybe, the only reason for my nervousness was that, it was the first time I was staying in the same school, for a second year.
My father was a lawyer, a very professional and successful lawyer, and his job required him to move to different states. Honestly I never really saw the point in moving. Its not like my dad was ever around. No one in the family ever saw him, so why did my mother and I have to move with him? Arguing over it though, would be pointless. He was a lawyer, and never lost an argument. Not even my mother, who always had that way of ending an argument, and getting whatever she wanted, could take on my father.
My mother, Meredith, had grown up very wealthy. Her parents, like mine, had important jobs. Her parents, if I remember correct, owned a fruit business that had taken off well. She later on grew up to marry a wealthy husband, my dad, to care for her every need. Sometimes I considered the thought that maybe my mother was spoiled, maybe she was inconsiderate of everything around her. She was definitely stuck up, with the way she would complain if she didnt have everything she owned handed to her on a silver platter. We would get calls from the credit card company saying she maxes out her cards too much. My mother would come home with bags and boxes of clothes from designer stores, and then leave them in her walk in closet with the tag still on it, probably never to be used.
The point is, we move almost every summer, because some new company offers my father a job, and no matter how many times I complained they were both against me.
Willow, My mother would tell me. We could use the money. Think about it. You will like it there. Its not like you didnt see this one coming! She would tell me, not even looking at my face. Of course, she would agree to it. She was a spender.
It does in places, but most of it is very good, Well done! Here are some little hints which would make it sound better to read...

I know that Final Draft is the industry standard and I have FD8 which is great (except they took out PDF conversion, apparently). But the reason I ask is because I use Linux now and FD is not compatible.

Can someone help me with a name for my fantasy character?
Hair: Black
Eyes: Black
He is tall, muscular, powerful and young (For his race, several thousand years is young) He is good-looking, his family are some of the only of his race with near-human looks.
Personality: He is quick to anger, very arrogant, and blood-thirsty. Like all in his race, he craves battle and blood and fear. He goes a lil crazy in the later books. He was originally sent to capture Leon (The main character) but after trying for years, his quest is turned over to Ivan, which makes him very bitter and resentful towards his own people.
Family: He is the son of Ilya, and Twin brother of Vena, who is good. In book six, he dies at Vena
