  • Best beginner's ballroom dancing shoe?

    I'm trying to decide between 4 different shoes and can't make up my mind. None of the stores around where I live carry ballroom dancing shoes so I can't try them on to see the best fit. Please help! I'm learning West Coast Swing, Chachacha, salsa, bolero, waltz, tango, samba and a few others so I need a really versatile shoe to start out with. I'm looking for something with a Cuban heel and suede sole but besides that I'm kinda lost.

    Here are the one's I'm currently trying to choose between but if you know of any that would work better feel free to post that.

    http://www.dance4less.com/7130_low_heel_ballroom_s...

    http://www.dance4less.com/5011_practice_ballroom_s...

    http://www.dance4less.com/11001_11_practice_ballro... (I'm leaning towards these)

    http://www.dance4less.com/4050_practice_ballroom_s...

    So, there's perforated leather, mesh-type sides, solid leather with a thicker sole and some that are a little more open. How do I decide? They all seem really good.

  • Hinduism: Same soul could be in an animal as in a person?

    As I understand the Hindu belief, all souls are part of samsara (re-incarnation), including the souls of animals such as mice and cows. Hinduism says that if you have bad karma then you might be re-incarnated as an animal. My question is this, if the soul of a person is in every animal, why is it okay to kill animals but not humans? Also, if you are re-incarnated into an animal, how do you get back to being a human? I personally have never encountered a "good" or "bad" animal, they all seem to act on instinct.

  • Okay so I need some good old fashioned books with lots of romance but nothing dirty.?

    I like books by Louisa May Alcott and Jane Austen if that gives you any idea about my tastes. I don't want anything dirty (with sex or insinuations) but I love romance. Also, if you can't think of anything like that I would also like the newer type of books with a lot of action and humor in them (still with nothing dirty), if y'all could give me any suggestions I would be very grateful and if I LIKE the suggestions I'll give you ten points!!! Please try to limit the books with a lot of language in them I would like to keep my mind clean for as long as I possibly can. :D thanks guys!
