» In what ways has the Godless excess of Hollywood given teenage atheists shallow aspirations like fame?

far more pertinently if we are having a pop at Hollywood is the embedding of the hyperreal in their presentation of our world which is partly responsible for the confusion of a broad section of the public into egocentricity. Godless excess of Hollywood? Throw them out into the cold, cold snow. Unless, of course, they return to Sunday School, apple pie, and bubble gum. How I wish they had tried harder to learn their craft! The US, for all of the expenditure and publicity about the film 'industry', is not really wonderful in comparison with many other countries, is it. Is it? People who behave like Hollywood 'stars' do, but cannot act well enough to become an extra in a French film (e.g.), have l...... - 2009-07-04

To actually answer your question, no, it is not possible to DRIVE over your foot, although you can RUN OVER your foot, as others have already said.Well , I suppose if you were the woman on tv recently who had the 4 foot long legs , and were stupid enough to stick a foot in the tires track, then move your car, it could happen.yes but I wouldent try it I saw a video of a stunt driver who had a trick of standing outside the door of his car while it turned tight circles around him.

Will my credit report still say its a charge off etc, or will it say updated to "paid in full, etc."? Also If I do a pay for deletion with the debt collection agency and they accept, does the original creditor have to remove the negative information as stated in the terms of the pay for deletion?The item will show paid but will still be a negative item that stays on your credit file for the balance of the 7 year reporting period. Paying off the debt will not improve your credit score. However, creditors look at your whole credit report. Paid old debt is better than unpaid. If you can come up with a lump sum payment, you can probably settle the debt for less than the full balance. Depending on how old the debt is, maybe 50% or less. ...... - 2009-07-04

» About to pull the trigger on a 30D, Lens questions...

Hey guys, i'm about to get a new 30D but i hear the 18-55 lens it comes with is not that great. I'm thinking about getting the body only and buying a good lens to go with it. After dropping a G on the camera, my lens budget will be less than $500 and i'd like to get a good all around lens to have some fun with for a few months before i get another. I really want the canon 70-200 f4L or the 70-200 f2.8 but that will have to wait for later when i can get some more $$$. I'v heard good things about the Sigma 17-70 f2.8-4.5. It has a good wide angle which i like and it is also a pretty good macro lens, especially coupled with a set of kenko tubes. Basically i need some recomendations on a good walk around lens that wont break the ban...... - 2009-07-04
