Fifth revised editionBaltimore;Published by John B. Piet & Co. It also says it was copyrighted 1882. The book is about 1 inch thick and 6 inches long and 4 inches wide. It is sewen together with thread. Can anyone tell me anything about this book?
Thanks, Bonnie

I'm not a fan of sci fi or war/history... maybe a medical thriller, suspense thriller, true life, or an adventure. Give me the title and a quick description!

I have a band concert tonight, and I have a solo.

I am a trained pianist and I know how to prepare. I have memorized the solo, and by myself can play it backwards and forwards, in my sleep, with my hands tied behind my back etc...the problem is that due to the rehearsal schedule and the late date that the decision that I would play this solo I have only played it with the band four times.

They are the variable that I am not quite sure of.

Are there any inner game techniques or techniques you have come to yourself? For me the best antidote to stage fright is preperation, and I have prepared by myself as much as I can. But I don't feel like I have that last bit of preperation.

I want to use this though as a test of my confidence as a player, so I don't want to just ask another player to play it for me or with me (and that wouldn't be fair to the other player, anyway!) I know that I can do it, but I am just more nervous than I should be.

I'm in a presentation at my drama group. Coming to this are several west end performers and teachers at drama schools. I am doing a monologue. It's Electra from the play Electra by Sophocles. If you know the play it's when she's telling the chorus how much she hates her mother for the first time.
If you don't know the play you could still help, Electra is set in ancient Greece, electra's (my character) father was murdered by her mother and her mother's lover. Her younger sister has also died and she has just recieved the news that her brother has died. He was her one hope of getting revenge on her mother and justice for her father, without him she has nothing. In my monologue she is angry and telling anyone who'll listen exactly how she feels. Electra is rich (she's a princess) but my interpretation of her is that she has too much on to concentrate on her appearance! Please help me! I'm thinking of having a more modern costume and would rather not where a toga!
Thank you! xx

I really want a good book but I can't seem to find any. My favorite author is Stephen King, but I have read everything by him, I LOVED LOVED the Dark Tower series he wrote but dislike all other fantasy. What should I read? I also like James Patterson because his stuff is simple, I have also read everything by him though....

k, ive tried desperately to understand this poem, n each time i come up with a brand new idea abt each stanza, very confusing! it's complexity lies in its simplicity, spent hrs trying to solve it like a puzzle n afraid of giving a wrong meaning as it's very important, anyway ur answers are greatly appreciated.

They were putting this show on tv about a girl that is sensitive to nature and can talk to trees. lol Whenever she talks to trees they would usually tell her about the history that they've lived through and everything is pretty accurate. Some russian scientist also studied tress that were traumatize because of a huge massacre that occured there. They say that they have emotions and if you treat them nicely or giving them some soothing music to listen to, they grow happy. lol I know, its soo weird. I just dont know what to think about it all.
