My boyfriend and I came across some Iron Maiden music earlier and were reminded of when we listened to hard, angry metal bands. We use(d) the music as sort of release for all of our pent up anger at the world. But we don't listen to that type of music in the same way anymore. Where did our anger go? The world hasn't really changed. Did those conflicts resolve themselves when we weren't paying attention? Unlikely. All those things still make us angry, but our energy is gone. Have we fallen victim to the same thing that eats our parents? Have we ... been beaten?

I am 17 years old, a new senior in high school, and I play flute and plan to major in flute performance in college. I need a job to start saving money for not only college, but plane flights to all my college auditions. I would like to possibly start giving private lessons to little kids starting out on flute, and was looking for any advice or warnings people might have to offer. I have thought about this, its not just a whim, and I will definately be organized and have a plan. I have been playing for 8 years, and I am an experienced player, but I have never taught anyone really. Any thoughts? How should I go about trying to start this, and finding students?

Im researching my family tree & have hit a bit of a block...I've found both my great-grandparents but have a problem with going back to my great-great-grandparents...

My great-grandfather had a very common name & I've found 100's of men with the same name, about the same age from the same area...how can I determine which 1 he is?

Also, on the 1881 census, my great-grandmother was recorded as a child, the head of the house being her mother as her father was in the Navy - there's no mention of her father's name or her mothers maiden name - how can I find her mothers maiden name & her fathers name?

I've tried looking for their marriage certificate as I think it will help but have no idea what year they married, all I know is my grandads (their son) date of birth.

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated - I've tried things like ancestry.com & genesreunited but there's nothing of genesreunited & ancestry.com is too expensive.

When I read Dumbledore's death in Book 6 it took a few long moments to sink in. Once it did, I burst into tears [and I wasn't a teenager, either :-)] and cried solid for several minutes! I had to read the rest of the book twice because it was all a fog. It was 4:00 AM at the time, so I had no one to talk to, but I felt like running to my flatmates and screaming "Wake up! Dumbledore is dead! How can you sleep?"

I'm petrified to find out if Harry dies!

I'm afraid he might have to sacrifice himself in order to kill Voldemort.

I know I'm going to read straight through without stopping to find out what happens though!

I hear some places are setting up - get this - counseling for kids in case Harry dies. As ridiculous as that sounds, it's quite understandable to me...

Will you cry if Harry dies?

How hard will it be to learn how to play songs such by artists who sing along to acoustic guitar solos such as Donnel Jones and Anthony Hamilton? Is it just basic chords that I need to learn or is it very complicated? Also is it necessary to take private lessons in order to learn how to play the guitar? Because I was hoping to teach myself with video tapes and online lessons or maybe if I have to take guitar classes at my college.

I writing a book about a middle-class, ugly girl who moves to the wealthy, exclusive and glam Manhattan Suburbs called Hilton Parks because her dad got a job raise. When she goes to her new private, rich high school (she's a freshman), she is invisible and everyone ignores her or talks behind her back, so let's just say she doesn't fit in because of her hideous clothes, shy, pushover personality and ugly stuff. She makes a couple of best friends there too and they become tight. Suddenly the school's most popular clique a.k.a School Royalty invites her in to be a member of their clique. The clique is mean, vicious, snobby, vain, conceited, gorgeous and has everyone bowing down to them and worshiping their every move. The new girl joins because she will do whatever it takes to be popular. They transform her in every aspect and she becomes like them in every way. Will she go back to her normal life because of regret or will she stick it out as one of the Queen Bees.

Any Titles?

I have written about 15 one-act plays with casts ranging from 1 person to 4 people. I don't want to send them out to theatres, though cause I don't have time right now. I already had five of them produced by one theatre group, but I would like other people to read them to see if they'd be interested in performing them. What would be the best way to announce their availability through the internet? Blog? Website? Postings? etc.?
