Arts & Humanities - 22 February 2007

I've been in the chorus for three years and durign that time I learned to sing in the head voice, which has a softer edge & is usually the opposites of singers sing. and i feel really stupid saying this here, but it seems like I somehow FORGOT how to sing like I used to. Those that like to sing pop music and other types: how do you get that harder edge?

And also, when I hit the higher notes I sound, well, different. is there any way that can be changed so i don't sound so weird? thanks a lot to all

How much did "ordinary" non-jewish Germans know about the goings-on of the Holocaust and how early did they know about it? Any online sources that discuss this?

I'm looking for resources and tips on teaching yourself oil painting. I like the look of oil paintings and I think it would be a nice hobby to take up. Thanks.

Alexander the Great of Macedon or Scipio Africanus?
Please, only relevant answers, none of those "Chuck Norris" or "the ninjas." Also, why do you think that person would win?

I had heard that you need to create a layer first? What then? I know very little about PS. Please provide me with the necessary steps and information to frame my photos. I'm sure it's a rather simple procedure.
Thanks...

Doesn't matter- fiction or non. Just something that will be stimulating and engrossing. I haven't read a good book in a long time.

people sat and ignored the fact that there were older people being tossed about on the bus and none of them offered their seats to them. They were oblivious-on their cell phones, i-pods, etc. and it was as if the very thought of being courteous, considerate, or respectful wasn't even a part of their make-up. It really saddened me deeply that this society is so warped in what matters and what children are taught/not taught. So, where are aging populations treated with respect and it would be a given that a bus seat would be offered, by all the kids, without a blink of an eye?

The followers travel long distaces to just have glimpse and listen the teachings of their spiritual leader. These followers are commited to their spiritual leader. So, the question is, why not our spiritual leaders advise their followers to adopt to honesty and reject curruption?

Dear friends, It is possible that your answers and awarenes will awaken the conscientiousness of our spiritual leaders and they shall advise their desciples to reject curruption and help in beautifying India.
