When singing, I find I can sing to about High Bb above the staff with little problem. I can whooh out a High C and bark a D, but I can't seem to reach any higher, no matter how hard I try. Someone told me I need to raise my soft palate. How do I do this? My voice teacher once effortlessly got me to the coloratura F, but I haven't been able to reproduce this. I was shocked at how effortless. He started me softly in falsetto at the C above Middle C and carried me up there on a chromatic scale, but we stopped because it sounded a tad screechy at the top notes. Still I felt like I could have gone higher. But when I'm home and practicing, I cannot reproduce that magical lesson. HELP!!!
How do I raise my soft palate when singing? And how do I sing that F. Obviously, my idol is Minnie Riperton.

My grandmother is about 80 years old, and I want to get her something different and unique. She usually gets clothes or stuff for her garden or stuff with birds on it. She's your typical old lady...she adores her grandchildren, she does embroidery, cooks, loves birds and gardening. Any ideas??

Right now I am a psychology major, but I have always wanted to get into acting. My advisor at school told me to wait until my senior year to take any acting classes so that I can meet my graduation requirements and all, but I want to take the class as soon as possible. In high school I was on the forensics team in Duo Interp, Dramatic Interp, and prose and poetry, plus was in high school musicals. Should I take my advisors advice and wait to take the classes, or should I do what I want and take one next semester?

I remember several years ago, when I was in year six or something like that, there was a great hoo-ha about a meteorite which was headed straight for us and would hit in about 31 years time. What ever happened about that? Was it even real? Or are we all doomed?

has Oregon released any official statement on that? A knee sprain usually isn't season-ending or the national championship would be decided by which team has five offensive linemen left at the end of the season.

My husband and I will start TTC on January (happy is getting closer and closer) but if I get pregnant... 1) when I have to schedule an appointment with a doctor?
2) With a ppo insurance, I need to go to a regular family doctor and he will transfer me to a Gynecologist?
3) Should I start with vitamins since now?

I was wondering why the Mighty Boosh characters use euros instead of pounds sterling, when it is obviously set in England.

meteors and found them all to be around the same age..approx 4.6 billion years old. Why did they not consult the Creationists? They could have saved themselves from looking so foolish, since you cannot date something to be older than about 60,000 years! Duh!

I'm wondering if I can get a passport, even though I think I have an upaid speeding ticket somwhere. I used to do a lot of cross country driving, so I really have no idea what county this ticket was in and when I renewed my license, everything went through fine. The ticket is in another state, and I also have an unpaid parking ticket. When I called the DMV they said they had no record of an unpaid speeding ticket, but I know i got one somewhere. Could it have disappeared or not been turned in somehow??

Will these prevent me from getting a passport?? Educated answers please! help!

... but wont even give you the benefit of a doubt even one time? Case in point. I made a bad dumb joke that got me suspended. I used an off color word, but it does not mean I hate anyone that was in the group I made a joke about. She said she understood I hated them. I told her no, I was only joking, but I agree my joke was in poor taste, that's why I was suspended. She used to write me multiple emails every day and since I explained myself over a week ago, she has not written one time.

Kind of sounds very judgemental to me. I get the strong impression that I am better off without someone like that. I never asked her to give me a benefit of a doubt before. So why is that hard for people to do? Why do people judge one another so quickly and harshly without giving a person even one chance?
