Its new and I heard that it is hard to get a new violin to stay in tune. I tried using the putty you can put on the pegs to keep them from slipping, but it still isnt working. Does anyone have any suggestions of what I could do? I know I could take it in and have it worked on but that will cost me a fortune. Any good ideas?

I'm looking for a good fiction read that I can get at the Library. Something good & interesting, but not hard to get into.
Maybe a good & smart mystery?

...but no matter how many times I catch the fish in focus, the picture still comes out blurred. I turn off all the lights in the room so I don't get a reflection of anything on the glass then I get really close to the fish from the outside and focus. I'm using the kit lens and the fish looks really good when I'm looking at it through the viewfinder...but when I take the actual picture, the shutter is still slow so I only catch a blur from the fish. I'm currently set at 1/10 F5.6.

Please help.

will I become less able to do turns/spins when I change back to suede soled shoes? and are there other drawbacks of continuing to dance with resin soled shoes? I do find it slightly slippery on the wooden floor, and very slippery on carpet.

I currently go to this dance studio which has dancing classes grouped like this for Latin:
Beginners 1 (8 weeks, 1 hour per week)
Beginners 2 (8 weeks, 1 hour per week)
Intermediate (8 weeks, 1 hour per week)
Advanced (5 months, 1 hour per week)
This is for non-repeated content. I have noticed many people go to two different levels at the same time, and some stay in one level for much longer than the "program".

My question is, how long do people usually stay in the different stages before they move onto the next?

This is my 2nd question about the musical. But I love the songs! In Masquerade the part "Hide your face so the world will never find you" contains all the thought of Erik, in the book.
Fascinating, isn't it? and that was just an example.
So I ask of you: What are your favorites songs? Why?
(Erm, sorry the probable bad English but I'm not from here, eh eh!)
