i am not sure if this is in the right catigorie but w/e....
Now i know u guys might not understand if you arn't in band but anyway:
I have this problem like i know the notes and the counting but for some reason i can't play it. i have to have someone else play it or hum/sing the tune. it's really getting on my nerves. I have tried privite lesson w/ the band director but it really doesn't help. what can i do???
hi, i play sax and i've been in band for five years so i will probably be able to answer your question... however, can you give a little more info or send one to my inbox? like how long have you been in band, what do you play, et cetera?
i think i understand what you are saying. you know what the notes are, you know what the counting is, but as far as the actual sound goes, you need to hear the pitches before you can play it. in my band, the band director tunes us individually every day (150 people, it's a lot) so it's a little bit difficult for me because i need to hear a pitch to be able to play my tuning note. it's easiest for me when the first chair player tunes first, and then i can remember that pitch so i can play it. but ordinarily it would be difficult for me to just play it, especially in front of people. is this what your problem is? give me a little bit more info and i'll answer :)
for girls' freshman cross country, what do you need for tryouts? how long does the season last? and what do you usually do during practices?
you will get a lot better answers by asking a coach or somebody on the team at your school, but this is what i can come up with:
what do you need for tryouts? as far as abilities: you should probably be able to run a mile in like 8-9 minutes. that is considered average. as far as material things: running shoes, shorts, t-shirt, water bottle, hair tie... et cetera.
how long does the season last? i am pretty sure it lasts during most of the first semester. people who do cross country in the fall usually do track in the spring.
what do you usually do during practices? i think you run a few miles, depending on what event you do. apparently there is a trail through the woods by my school and freshman girls run like maybe 3-5 miles a day? also, be prepared to have in school and after school practices. i would imagine that you stretch and stuff and then mostly run. i doubt that you would do weights or something, unless you were in offseason.
i hope this answered your question, but i think you could probably get more information from somebody at your school :)
okay. my numba one crush, BFoster, asked me to be in his band, as a background singer, but i have major stagefright. and someone said that he wouldnt be in the band if i am, im sorta the outcast girl.fat,ugly,mean. everybody says i am the product of my infirement, wich is abusive. should i go along with the flow, or just stay out of the situation? please help.!!!
---Simone411---
okay, so since he asked you to be in his band: do you sincerely want to be in his band, regardless of stage fright (which is possible to overcome, believe me)? if yes, then go ahead and do it! it sounds like a great opportunity for you to hang out with people, make new friends, and have fun. also, never, ever listen to what people say about you. i can say for a fact that if you're hearing people call you "outcast, fat, ugly, mean" then you are definitely not that at all. the only reason people would say cruel things like that to other people is when there is a self-esteem issue with the person who is saying the mean things. also, when you label yourself as an outcast, you make yourself an outcast. if you want to be an outcast, that is fine, but if you hate it, there are things you can do to fix that without changing your entire look or personality. if people are telling you that you are mean, then try being nicer. if people are telling you that you are unattractive or cruel or something, try smiling a lot more. okay, that is probably not part of your question. so i will keep going with the flow here. it sounds like you think that you two have a lot in common, so why not join his band and hang out with him? also, about the stage fright: do you have a literal stage fright on just stages and performing in front of a lot of people, or just a fear of singing in front of anybody? because if it's a fear of singing in front of anybody, it might be difficult for you at first with this band thing. but it's something that you can work through. i certainly know a lot about that because i've had a lot of performances over the years (i play a lot of instruments). so if you ever have a question about performing arts, send one to my inbox. if i were you, jump right into the situation!
How can I make rice taste more interesting?
I like to eat it with sugar on it, but I
know thats probably not very healthy!
go to foodtv.com and look up recipes for rice. they will probably have a ton. also, have you ever tried risotto? it is like, cheese rice. it is really good! you could always do steamed rice, fried rice, sticky rice, or even just put random veggies or beef or pork in there. my friend's mom makes this chicken stuff over rice, and it is amazing! you could probably cut up chunks of chicken and put in your rice. also, zatarain's (or something) is a brand of rice that you can find in the grocery store, and i think it is like cajun rice. gumbo is also good with rice, so maybe you could put random seafood in your rice? haha, happy rice eating!
edit: haha, funny you say that, because this is actually the only site that i don't bother using capital letters on! i am actually a grammar freak but i have to remind myself to chill out a little bit when i come here because of the butchering of the english language that goes on :(
My boyfriend is turning 22 and he is totally against drinking. I am 18 and going to college, while he doesnt go to college.... he works. I know he would be really mad if I was drinking in college but I kind of want to try it out for myself. I dont know how I feel about it. But I really dont want to lose him. What do I do?
as long as you live in the u.s., drinking under 21 is illegal anyway. so if i were you, wait until you are 21, and then try it out. by that time, things might have changed with your boyfriend and he might be a social drinker or something. but at some point in time, you two are going to have to come to an agreement with this. does he know that you would like to try drinking? right now, i don't think that it matters too much if you want to drink or not because it is illegal anyway. talk to your boyfriend about it. just be like, "hey, i realize that you feel this way, but when i turn 21 i would like to try it. just giving you a heads up." don't let him make your decisions for you; do what YOU want to do.
Omg..I cannot stand it when people use your instead or you're or their instead of there or they're.
OH MY GOSH. Example : Your so stupid. & Their retartarded. & Their you are! & You're shirt. And...would you look at that...another error! : Are princess. -_- (meant to be "OUR princess")
GRR. This happens a lot to me. Like I see people doing it over and over and over again. It annoys the hell out of me! Would it be too rude to correct them? They should know by now, right!?
Ugh.
oh, i feel your pain! i don't think it's rude to correct people. and if they get mad, just say, "try being smarter and i'll try being nicer." but i would do it in a pretend joking way, like this:
other person: i love you're hair!
me: you are hair? that's cool, if you're into that kind of thing.
other person: what?
me: learn some grammar, dumb dumb.
yes, they should know by now. it drives me nuts when people make absolute fools of themselves with grammar and spelling. my friends get me to proofread their english papers and application essays for stuff because if i didn't, they would look like total retards and end up as hobos for the rest of their lives! although it helps me to read books because the grammar is almost always correct. it makes me feel better. but if somebody uses the wrong they're/there/their or your/you're online, either correct them and make them look dumb or don't say anything at all if it bothers you.

would i need to get a memory card? and how much would the memory card cost?
thankyou:)
you wouldn't absolutely have to, but you would probably want to. actually, you would definitely want to. you would probably not be able to take more than like 25 pictures at a time. let's see, if you got a 1 GB memory card (which would hold a whole lot), it is like 30 bucks. but if you go to walmart/best buy/wherever, you can find memory cards that are 128 MB, 256 MB, and 512MB that would be cheaper. if you're just taking pictures of you and your friends or vacation and stuff, you'd probably only need like 128 MB or 256 MB. i can't find a price for those memory cards on walmart.com, but if you go to an electronics store they will be able to tell you approximately how many pictures each one will hold. as i recall, my 128 MB holds like 150 or something.
why is it impossible to travel faster than the speed of light? and i dont get how light travels that quick.. or why we cant have like machines such as planes travel faster than it. any theories on what would happen when you travel faster than light? my sister says that like also planes travel faster than sound.. how is that possible? what are these like speeds of sound and light? i dont get it. and my sis also thinks that when you travel faster than light you could go to like a black hole or something? btw my sis is 14 and im 13.. so please put it in terms i can kinda understand. thanks!
why is it impossible to travel faster than the speed of light? because light is really freaking fast! think of it this way. the speed of light is the time it takes for light from say, the sun to reach your eyes. or maybe even the time it takes between when you turn on the light in your room to the time that you actually see the light. it is basically an instant thing when you turn lights on, but light actually has to travel from the bulb to your eye. as you can imagine, especially when we talk about looking at stars or the sun or something, that is really freaking fast. i forget what the actual speed of light is, but you can look it up at wikipedia.org. i remember learning about it in science class but i don't remember the actual numbers. i hope this is making sense so far. i personally think that if you could travel faster than light, you would probably catch on fire or something. sound, however, does not travel nearly as fast as light does. sound is basically sound waves. whenever there is a thunderstorm, and you see lightning, and then you hear thunder a few seconds later, that is an example of how sound travels. if the lightning struck a couple miles up the road, it would still take a while for you to hear it. if you wanted to know the exact speed of sound, wikipedia.org should have that too. as for the black hole thing, nobody really knows. you can probably read theories on it, but scientists haven't proven anything yet. they can't exactly venture inside one to see what it's like, because well, it's a black hole. ok, so to recap, light travels extraordinarily fast. have you ever heard of a lightyear? that is the distance that light travels in a year. so... that's a really long way. if light travels at, say, 300,000 miles a second (i made that up), then think about how many seconds are in a year. a whole lot! so that's a long way. when something is multiple lightyears away in outerspace, they are basically saying that it is a really freaking long way away. and as i said before, sound travels in sound waves and therefore does not travel as fast, especially if there is stuff in the way. like you have a brick wall between you and somebody you're eavesdropping on. the sound is not as good as if you were standing right next to them. it's the same thing with the sun and a shadow. if you are outside getting a tan and a cloud moves in front of the sun, it blocks the light so it becomes darker. and speaking of the word "dark", i read somewhere that that is not an actual scientific term... the correct term is "absence of light"... is that not the weirdest thing ever? anyway, i really hope that i helped, because that's all i know about speed of whatever.
I have a job where you cant have piercings, I am not ready to let my nose piercing close up could I get buy with a clear retainer? Or would the company not like that?
the company that my dad owns would think it is okay if an employee has a clear retainer. go ahead and get the little clear thing, and if your boss says something about it (hopefully he doesn't gaze at your nose that closely) then decide what to do from there. but in my experience, a clear little thingy is okay.
okay this kid named David called me fat. And he wouldnt drop it and he told me i should buy a tredmill and dumb stuff like that, i know im fat but i donno i didnt think it was that big of a deal.

thats my myspace and i was wonderingif i really am as ugly as he says.. be truthful please..:(
you need to go punch david in the face. the only reason anybody feels a need to tell other people things like that is because they are insecure about themselves. you are gorgeous. the only reason you would need to buy a treadmill is if you just had some strange longing for a treadmill. don't listen to whatever people tell you about your body because the only person that should be concerned about your body is you. and if other people take time out of their lives to tell you mean stuff like that, they desperately need to find a hobby.
m/13 so me and my girlfriend are planning to have sex. we dont know whether she should put her tampon in during it so she doesnt get pregnant, or i should use i condom. also, how do u put on a condom? when i put my penis in how fast do i go in and out?
yeah okay, all things aside, do you two have any clue what the female anatomy is like? okay, here it goes. if she puts a tampon in, and then you two have sex, guess where the tampon goes? somewhere where it's not supposed to go, that's for sure. she would have to get it surgically removed from like her uterus or something. okay? so don't do that. besides that, your parents would find out and that would not be good.
also, regardless of age, or whatever, you should always use a condom (even better with birth control pills, but whatever). and simply because you just asked us how to put a condom on, i discourage you from having sexual relations until you can figure out what you're doing. also, no matter what form of protection you use, there is always going to be some chance of pregnancy. it happens. so be able to live with that. does it not scare you that in nine months you could have a little replica of yourself? this is basically what we're dealing with here.
by the way, this is your choice and not mine, but i tell it like it is. there is going to be a chance of pregnancy, especially since you are not sure about how to use a condom. if she has in a tampon, there is going to be a chance that she will have to be carted to the emergency room. does it still sound like fun? probably not. so take my advice and wait a little bit.
by the way, to answer your question, the condom packaging would probably have directions on it.
please only answer this if you have dealt with serious acne.
my acne isnt as bad as some people, but i am CONSTANTLY broken out. i cant remember the last time i had a clear face. ive used practically everything and nothing works. well, some stuff works for like a week or two but stops working after that. ive tried clean and clear, proactive, murad, clearisil, biore, neutrogena, st.ives apricot scrub, cetaphil, noxzeema, clinique 3-step, i mean i cant even list every brand ive tried!
ive gone to the dermatologist and they gave me differin & duac. i had to use it for about 6 months and it only worked for about a month.
my mom wont let me take pills. and i cant do accutane.
will somebody please help me! give me a routine to do every morning and night that ahs really cured your face. im up for anything now.
okay, next time you go to the dermatologist ask about retin-a (stronger form of differin) and evoclin, which is a foam that i use in the mornings. here is a quick help: smear toothpaste all over your face. i'm not kidding. really rub it in. and leave it for a few minutes. wash that off. i'd say use the toothpaste at night, but if you wake up before school or whatever and that isn't good enough, do it again by all means. also, drink a freaking ton of water. eight glasses at least. that always helps to clear up skin. you will have to pee a lot, but it will make up for it. also, before you put medicine on your face, get a hot rag and wipe your face down. supposedly the heat opens up your pores and the medicine enters your pores better or something. right now i just started using a biore scrub and it has worked so well for me. but before i was just washing my face using my fingers... when i got that scrub, i started washing my face with my fingers AND a rag and it really helps to get the nast off. also, if you really want to cut down on acne (and this can also help you lose weight) stop drinking soft drinks. every time you reach for a soft drink, drink a glass of water instead! my sister used to drink cokes all the time until she figured out that they make her break out. so examine your diet. is there something that you eat/drink a lot of? you might want to consider cutting back on sugar too a little bit. but definitely, if nothing else, toothpaste and drink water! also, i think neutrogena makes a toner for your face- you use it after you wash your face at night or whatever and it gets the excess dirt off. you would not believe how unclean our faces are even after we wash them. for the first couple of days when you're doing all this stuff, you might want to wash your face like three times a day, or however many times you can fit in. are you still on differin? when i was on it, i only use it monday wednesday friday, but sometimes when my acne got really bad i would use it every single night. i know your dermatologist won't like that but if you're desperate, it can't kill you. i hope things get better for you!
Hello, I'm not big on shaving legs actually I love my hair on my legs but I've come to realize that it is not sexy. Is it better to shave or to use nair?
shaving is easier for me. you can try nair and see if it irritates your skin though- some people can't use it because of their sensitive skin. however, i know a girl who uses nair and loves it. i think that shaving is faster. but supposedly your legs are smoother with nair. try both and see which you like :)
is it bad to reuse water bottles? after a while the water smells weird
you can for a day or two, but you can stick them in the dishwasher and then you're good to go for another day or two. i had a friend who reused the same water bottle for weeks without knowing this, and mold started to grow in it. gross! but if you put it in the dishwasher, then it is just like a regular cup or something.
What would actually happen too you if you sniffed nail varnish remover??
And also Tipp-Ex??
I've never quite understood it lol..xx
you would lose brain cells and probably feel "high", but it can damage your brain if you do it a lot.

Hi I am a student at a school in Alabama that does not have a football team. We have other sports teams like soccer and basketball but no football. Could I play football for another nearby school while remaining at the first school. Please I really need a straightforward answer on this one.
i doubt that you could play at another school. actually, i think there is something in the uil rules that all athletes on a competing team (such as a football team) have to be enrolled at the school they are playing for. you could call the athletic office at another school and see if you could practice or play with their team, but i really think that you can't do that as long as the team competes in uil activities (which would basically be like a friday night football game). i'm sorry, but you could look in your yellow pages and see if there is a football league not associated with school in your city. otherwise, you would probably have to switch schools to play football, unless you can persuade your athletic office to form a team.
Hey guys. Ok so my friends and I wanted to throw a huge party this summer and invite like 30 or so kids. We were supposed to do it at my friend Melissa's house because she has a pool but now it looks like we can't so we'd have to have it at my friend Rachel's and she has a big backyard but no pool. So my question is, how do you entertain 30 kids? Sure there would be like music and stuff but a pool is the only big thing we could think of. We wanted to do one of those big water slides but I don't think rentacenter has them. Does anyone have any ideas?

if you're doing an organized event party type thing, you can have different games like potato sack races (dumb, i know) or twister tournament. you could have ping-pong, or if they have a driveway or basketball hoop then maybe a 3 on 3 tournament or something. if you can rent/borrow a trampoline, that would be really fun! make sure you have music that people know and can sing/dance to. don't forget to have food! you can also do those games where everybody lines up front to back and then passes a roll of toilet paper over and under and over and under. or, a variation of the same game, you can get an orange/apple or something and everybody has to pass it down the line... but, the catch is that you have to line up boy-girl and pass it without hands by holding it in between the bottom of your chin and your neck. it's kind of fun. you could have ultimate frisbee, or something like that. i hope it's fun!
whats the best tanning lotion to use? should it be sunless? or oilfree? something that maskes you tan not orange or anything. thanks
as far as your skin goes, the best tanning lotion is sunless. i use jergen's natural glow. it works very well, but fades quickly so it's something you would have to keep up. i have a fair skin tone and it doesn't make me orange, i just have to make sure i don't overuse it (and wash your hands after you put it on, i had been using it for a few days and looked down and i had orange stripes in between my fingers!) or if you want to lay out in the sun, i use banana boat something or other in the little brown bottle with the purple lid. it comes in spf 4, 8, 15, and 30, so you have to reapply often.
is there going to be another harry potter? he didnt even fight that mean guy, the old guy did .
hahaha, did you read the books? nevermind, but there are two more movies after order of the phoenix: 6, which is half-blood prince, and 7, which has not come out in book form yet but will be called deathly hallows. if you want to find out what happens after the fifth movie, read the sixth book :)
edit: yeah, i thought it ended dumb too, but hopefully the other two movies will be better
sorry if its in the wrong catagory i have no idea what catagory it goes in.
I was wondering if the holocaust mueseum they went to in freedom writers was an actual mueseum, and where the mueseum is.
thank you in advance.
yes, there is a holocaust museum in washington, d.c. i've never been, but i'd really like to go. a few of my family members went, and one of my friends has gone, and they all said that it is traumatizing. i mean, you read about the holocaust or watch stuff about it on tv, but that's nothing compared to what you see in the museum. it sounds very interesting.
