Recently I have been thinking about composers such as Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, etc., and how they in all probability would have composed pieces differently had their instruments been of the quality of todays instruments. For example, we know that Beethoven pushed the limits, and even redefined what one can do on the piano. If the piano had been even close to the quality of todays pianos, just imagine what he might have composed.....just a thought!

In other words, is this a hobby that you could take up living in a city apartment with no room for giant saws and equipment? :D

My son has always displayed "ADHD" signs. In 1st grade the school tested him for ADD and wouldn’t talk to me about intervention until a psychiatrist evaluated him. I had a full psychological evaluation done and took it to a psychiatrist who put him on ADD meds. The only problem is that the professional evaluation showed high depression and mild ADD not typical of normal signs. His grades did go from failing to B’s after getting on meds. He's now about to enter the 4th grade. But his behavior has never been fixed. He seems to not understand social cues and doesn't make many friends. Although he has some. In March he had a seizure and I've taken him off of meds. Meanwhile, he has had a tic disorder which was made worse by the meds. Two people suggested that he had Aspergers so I took him to an expert in that field who said no to Aspergers. But he said Tourettes and OCD. I’m having a hard time connecting my son’s behaviors to OCD. He doesn’t check things or perform rituals.

I have an hour commute where I sit on the train. I can't read because I get headaches. I usually listen to my iPod and sleep. Any suggestions? What do you do?

Assume that readInt reads and returns one integer value

int x, sumNeg=0, sumPos=0;
x=readInt();
while ( x != 0)
{
if (x<0)
sumNeg += x;
if (x>0)
sumPos +=x;
}

if (sumNeg < -8)
S.O.P.ln("negative sum: " + sumNeg);
if (sumPos > 8)
S.O.P.ln("positive sum: " + sumPos);

which of the following inputs would cause every line of code to be executed at least once?

0

2 4 6 8

2 -2 4 -4 0

4 -4 6 -6 0
-2 -4 -6- -8 0

People of other religions are not telling them to worship Buddha, Mohammed or Krishna in order to achieve salvation. and the Bible tells us that Jesus was sent by God, not that he WAS God.
why would someone be sent to Hell even though they worshipped God, albeit through Krishna rather than Jesus; or directly, without a human intermediary?

Ok. I have asked every thinkable question to try and figure out whats going on. But as yet I still don't have an answer.

I can't possibly be pregnant as I've had regular (or as regular as they get for me) periods for the last month and a half, I haven't changed the way I eat, I haven't changed my excersise routine, in fact I haven't changed a single thing in my lifestyle. The only thing that's changed is that I'm no longer a virgin and my last encounter (with no protection) was on the 13th of July.

I have also recently had the flu but I am better now and these symptoms are carrying on and they started before I got sick.

I have a dull horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach, I seem to be more hungry, more emotional, more tired, I need to relieve myself more, sometimes I feel a bit dizzy, I have random medium sharp pains in my lower abdomen and breasts, and for the last two weeks I've picked up 0.2kg a week.

What is going on with me? What could this be? And what can I do about it?

Or even without God in the equation, do you think it's natural selection, that we are not all born smart, beautiful and easily directed toward success. Or is there some other cosmic hand guiding us along a path of destiny? Or no destiny... all coincidence?

How long was the longest it took for you to get henna done?
It took 3 hours to do my hands and feet when I got engaged. In America I never get a lot of henna done so it never takes as long.

after taking pictures, i have always uploaded them on the computer by taking the SD memory card and placing it what i learned is the F: drive, and they upload just fine. lately when i put the memory card in the drive nothing happens, when i go into my computer and click on the "SD/MMC (F:)" it says to insert F: disk.

it never did that before! haha also when i click the little green arrow that appears in the tool bar it says to safely remove hardware.

im not sure what to do because i dont have my camera cord anymore and have no way of uploading my pictures now hahah

PECANS IN THE CEMETERY

On the outskirts of a small town, there was a big, old pecan tree just
inside the cemetery fence. One day, two boys filled up a bucketful of
nuts and sat down by the tree, out of sight, and began dividing the
nuts.

"One for you, one for me. One for you, one for me," said one boy.
Several dropped and rolled down toward the fence.
Another boy came riding along the road on his bicycle. As he passed, he
thought he heard voices from inside the cemetery.
He slowed down to investigate. Sure enough, he heard, "One for you, one
for me. One for you, one for me."

He just knew what it was. "Oh my", he shuddered, it's Satan and the Lord
dividing the souls at the cemetery. He jumped back on his bike and rode
off.

Just around the bend he met an old man with a cane, hobbling along.

"Come here quick," said the boy, "you won't believe what I heard!
Satan and the Lord are down at the cemetery dividing up the souls."

The man said, "Beat it kid, can't you see it's hard for me to walk."

When the boy insisted though, the man hobbled to the cemetery. Standing
by the fence they heard, "One for you, one for me. One for you, one for
me..."

The old man whispered, "Boy, you've been tellin' the truth.
Let's see if we can see the Lord himself." Shaking with fear, they
peered through the fence, yet were still unable to see anything. The old
man and the boy gripped the wrought iron bars of the fence tighter and
tighter as they tried to get a glimpse of the Lord.

At last they heard, "One for you, one for me." And one last "One for
you, one for me. That's all. Now let's go get those nuts by the fence,
and we'll be done."

They say the old man made it back to town a full 5 minutes ahead of the
boy on the bike.

My husband died (Feb. 2, 07) and I called in to my job to let them know. The human resources manager contacted and told me to let her know when I could be back. I ended up returning to work 2 weeks later. (Feb. 14, 07) I was sent home by my supervisor's boss. My supervisor told me I needed to go back home and she didn't expect me back until the beginning of the month. I went out of town and was scheduled to be back on Mar 1, 07. The HR manager called me the Friday (Feb. 23, 07) before I was getting back and told me I need to be back on Feb. 26, 07. I explained I was out of town and would be back in three days after that Monday. I also explained to her that I couldn't get a flight back in that timeframe. She told me that b/c of high call volume I needed to be back and if I wasn't I would be fired. When I got back sure enough I was.
