Arts & Humanities - 2 November 2007

I ordered a Sony Cyber-shot 8.1MP DSC-HP and it should be coming within the next few days! :) I know it's not the most professional, but it really is quite amazing for only being 8.1MP and for it's price. I tested it at the store and completely fell in love! (but, heck, after having a 5mp Kodak, anything beats that!)

Anyway! Haha. I was reading about this camera and I felt so naive about what I was reading. Here are the things I had trouble understanding, if you know what any of the following is/means, please tell me. :)

- Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens
- ISO
(ex, ISO 3200, High-sensitivity ISO)

Oh! And it comes with one Lithium-ion NP-BG1 battery.

I'm planning on buying a second battery anyway, but a battery like that..how long would it last in one session before it dies? Thanks!


I'm so excited for my camera!

If I make a sword, practice with a sword, then kill someone with a sword, the violence clearly did not come from the sword.

So if man makes Religion, practices with it, then uses it to justify a war, isn't blaming the war on Religion equally absurd?

Are Atheistic societies ANY less prone to violence?

If so don`t you find these attributes contradictory? If God is omniscient and he knows everything - then he knows everything that he is going to do. He knows everything that he did. There is no "State of Uncertainity." If knows everything that he is going to do then how can he have "Free will" to choose? A God that knows everything cannot be omnipotent because he already knows what he is going to do. That God would be deterministic a slave to his own nature. If he knows everything and he is eternal then he would take him an eternity to remember everything that he knows. It`s a nonsensical propostion - it`s meaningless. Imagine something that is all powerful. Power is a capacity of force. Some are greater than others. Saying that God is all powerful implies that he has no compacity of force hence, he`s powerless. Omnisicence, omnipotence, omnibenelovence are attributes that sound "cute" but mean absolutely nothing

Sorry for the less-than-intelligent question. I just wanted to draw attention. Tomorrow I'm competing in a speech [nfl] tournament, and I'm doing a dramatic interpretation piece. It's about a woman who was abused and controlled by her husband, and one night after he beat her up she shot him, went to jail, etc. Question is: Is this too predictable? Is it something that's been done too much, overdone, perhaps? I don't know, I'm getting quite a terrible bundle of nerves, and I just want to get some feedback and advice. Thanks SO MUCH to any/all answerers!

I'm trying out for my high school's musical in a week and a half.
I've been meeting with a voice teacher for a little bit now....
I thought I sounded pretty good when I started. However, it seems like whatever my teacher tells me to do, it makes me sound worse!! Seriously, almost every little change she makes in my technique really shows...for the worse in my opinion. I'm sounding more and more timid and more and more off pitch.
What should I do? Do you think it's just my imagination? Should I quit the lessons and just work on my song by myself?
I REALLY want to make the show and I don't want my chances to be ruined by my voice teacher when my audition was fine to begin with.
Need more details? I can add some more if you want.
I appreciate every piece of advice!
