Arts & Humanities - 28 December 2006

Our 4-H homeschool group will be having theater arts workshop for children. I am the director, so to speak. I need a play that would be friendly for children, that has at least fifteen rolls. If there are any hard rolls I can play them myself.
Something fun, perhaps a fairy tale. Post your ideas!

One of the greatest and mightest"ADOLF HITLER"
one and only one mistake he did was the invasion into Russia(in winter)otherwise we all would be talking german and would be nazies
From the first day that Adolf Hitler "seized power," January 30, 1933, he knew that only sudden death awaited him if he failed to restore pride and empire to post Versailles Germany. His close friend and adjutant Julius Schaub recorded Hitler's jubilant boast to his staff on that evening, as the last celebrating guests left the Berlin Chancellery building: "No power on earth will get me out of this building alive!"

Adolf Hitler, murderer of millions, master of destruction and organized insanity, did not come into the world as a monster. He was not sent to earth by the devil, nor was he sent by heaven to "bring order" to Germany, to give the country the autobahn and rescue it from its economic crisis
REVENGE WAS THE MOTIVE

I don't know the names of the notes.
My dad just showed me where you put your fingers and what such.
I can read music because I have played the trumpet for over 4 years, But I don't know how to read tabs. I have been trying to learn the basic cords and get to know the fret board. But it's all so confusing. Any tips? Website? Books?
Everything helps because I really plan on sticking with the guitar, music interests me greatly.

For my major I have to take an acting class. We need to have four monologues chosen for the first day.

“Two classical and two contemporary. The classical can be anything from Greek to Restoration. Contemporary can be anything from the nineteenth century to yesterday.”

Give me the names four you love, or think would be great for someone without much theatre experience. I would like to have some interesting or fun choices, but I would have no idea where to even begin.

So, if you are bored, give me some answers and remember to say why you chose the ones you did.

Thanks,

Less than 10". I've lost a couple of figures that were coming along not half bad now through slipping in a vice. Is there another way? I keep the vice a bit loose to avoid crushing but I'm not getting the balance right. Vice fixing and soft stone don't seem to go together. Any helpful ideas please? Do I just have to go onto heavier stuff? I don't like clay so that's not on, and my friends do like the small figures.

for me....
5. Haren warren and calvin coolidge (tie)
drunk bastards who did nothing except party and could not control our excess credit spending in the 1920s, which in part led to the gp in 1927.
4. Woodrow Wilson : i kn now that ppl are gonna jump at me for this BUT he didnot pursue/convince americans enough to join the league of nations. Thats may have prevented Hitler from getting too much power.
3. Hoover Herbert: enough said.
2. Richard Nixon: two words tricky d!ck. Again enough said.
1. Lyndon B. Johnson for trying to block the civil rights legislative. For lying to the congress and getting involved in the vietnam war.

The grandmother had a special pot or bowl that when she said a certain phrase it would make rice or pasta(can't remember which one, I think rice) then she would say another phrase when there was enough. One day when the grandmother lefto run some errands the little girl said the magic phrase to turn it on and because she didn't know that phrase to turn it off the whole town got filled with rice/pasta. Any clue of what the title to this book is?

Good things always seem to happen to bad people (i.e. Cheney) and bad things happen to good, undeserving people...WHY???!

I'm been an avid Harry potter reader for about 6-7 years. Its funny, I would think that my likes would have changed by now, and I would stop liking it but I haven't. What do you think makes the story so good and/or any insight into the final book?

2006-12-28 06:23:31 · 3 answers · asked by girl3 2 in Books & Authors

for me
1. FDR (helped pull the country out of the great depression plus ww2)
2. Thomas Jefferson(doubled the size of the us for 10 millions, although his move to block trade from the brtish was dumb)
3. Andrew Jackson (fought for the common man in a time where it was unheard of)
4. Abraham Lincoln (do i really need to explain my self here?)
5. Ronald Reagen (reagenomics baby reagenomics)

I had no choice about seeing the opening scenes of Passions on NBC today because I'm visiting a friend who insists on watching it, and I saw a dead body fall out of a wedding cake?!?! Is this the lowest moment in soap opera history? Sam just said, "Let's hope she wasn't baked to death." I mean really now, but this is over the top.

I was reading a story where one of the character's references a time in history when in WWII the german and allied soldiers laid down their weapons and had a snowball fight for Christmas day. The next day they continued their fight. Is this true and could someone direct me to a valid reference where I can read it for myself?
