I have census information for my ancestor from the 1840 through 1870 census. They lived in Franklin County, Pennsylvania. I want to try to figure out where exactly they lived. Is there any way to do this?

Thank you.

Probably, but how the shooter was Lee Harvey Oswald?
What was that guy about profession or occupational title?

The only musicals I've seen thus far are 'West Side Story' and 'Dreamgirls' (2006 version)?

My girlfriend says something can only be considered a musical if there is a stage version of the play whereas I think that that musical only needs to have songs sung by the characters and that the songs have to move the plot forward. Does anyone have different ideas of what defines a musical?

I have just gotten the role of Grandma in the play Little Red Riding Hood and the Power Mutants for the high school production. In April we're going to be performing in our States drama festival. I am very excited, but the only flaw is that speaking in my "grandma" voice makes my throat hurt and feel a little hoarse later. Before we perform, we always have numerous rehersals, and I always have nightmares that by the time we perform my throat will be cracked.

This is the first time I have gotten a major role, and I do not want to give it up. Is there any tea I can drink in April, to keep my voice strong and clear? Or anything I can do?

Why is it so important to make our own choices? Is it just for individuality or is there more to it? Thanks.

(I have asked this question before, but I need specific agencies, with good reputations, if possible.)

I am 19, and for many years now I have been told that I have the looks and build to become a high fashion model. It is finally now that I am seriously considering a career in this field, as money is tight and I need to pay for my tuition. Do you think that I could become a model?

These were taken by friends in Berlin:

This is an actual photo from a shoot:

So what do you think? Where would I go first; what agencies?
(I live in Montreal by the way)

All help is appreciated,
Jacques

Is Act4 Scene1 (Court Scene) in Merchant of Venice the most dramatic Scene in the play?
What do you think???
Is it because Antonio is nearly put to death!
Or Portia and Nerissa save Antonio!
Or is it because Shylock wants to get revenge and he nearly gets there but Portia ruins it!

I just want peoples veiws on the scene
Thanks

You know how the Ancient Greeks believed in Zeus, Apollo, etc. Well, let's say some how (big some how), we are faced with new religions. So, now we've forgotten about Jesus, Moses, Muhammad, Buddha, etc....

So what does this mean? That just like the Greeks could leave Zeus, that it is possible that we may be able to forget these well known figures. Don't say this can't be done because it is the truth. Remember, the ancient civilizations believed their beliefs to be true!

But we really don't know anything! So, here comes another issue. Is religion preventing us from discovering the truth?

I've noticed a lot of comments against evolution - but they actually have nothing to do with evolution. I think a lot of people against it do not really understand what it is. I'd really like to get people against evolution to comment.

One person asked: if people came from apes then why are there still apes? (I don't think I really need to clarify why this question has no merit..but apes didn't spontaneously all turn into people leaving no apes behind....)

And there have been others - someone even put this clip up as DEFENSE against evolution. If you actually check out the clip you will realize the man in the video is not talking about evolution - he is talking about spontaneous creation but says its evolution. http://youtube.com/watch?v=FZFG5PKw504&feature=related

I don't know if it's the relgion thing. I am religious but also believe in the process of evolution. (I see it as G-d created life and gave them the oppurtunity to change and adapt through the process of evolution)

*****

When I was wee,
Me mum, she had typing speed…
And the bedtime stories she would read
Were fairies and goblins
That she believed
Would make us rich and famous
Beyond our dreams

Rejection came quite hard at first
She just could not believe
That her stories of great tenderness
Had not been well received

“Who the hell are you?” she thought,
Just moneymen and thieves
“I bleed each time I read of this,
That you think I’m no good!”

Now, me mum
She’s 85…and laughs about
The times she cried
Her children love
Their bed time stories
Of timeless hope
And freedom’s glory…

Is the memory of that experience what influenced the stance against having an established religion supported by the government?
