  • Need advice about piano playing speed?

    I'm an intermediate/advanced pianist. Now that I'm learning to master harder pieces, I need to know how fast to play a song. I follow the musical directions (e.g. adagio) but I feel like my speed fluctuates each time I play (what feels slow at one time might feel too fast later). So how do you sit down and play a song at the right speed every time? Any tips for memorizing a speed?

  • Help me impress my husband! -- How do I fill a concrete hole?

    One of the screws holding our mailbox up fell out, and there is a large hole in the stucco there. A Home Depot employee gave me concrete filler and a gun. I followed his directions, cutting the tip, and I cannot squeeze out the filler! I tried cutting the hole bigger but it's not working. Am I just not strong enough to squeeze the gun, or am I doing it wrong? Help! Thanks :)

  • Bible students, can you recommend a good sacred-name Bible?

    That is, one that uses Jehovah, Yahweh, or the tetragrammaton (YHWH) in the Old Testament. (I do not consider the NWT to be the inspired Scriptures; it was crafted by five men with no knowledge of biblical Hebrew or Greek to conform to a religion's views. I am also not interested in any Bible written by only one man.) I have researched some of these translations online and just want to know more about them, their differences, and anyone's experience with them. Thank you for your help.

  • Why isn't my printer working?

    I checked the plugs, the ink, turned it off and on, even printed a test page. But when I select "Print" on any document, it sends it to the printer queue but never prints. It says "printing" but does nothing. What else can I try?

  • Why isn't my printer printing?

    I pressed print on my document and it didn't print! I see it in the printer queue and it says "printing" but it's not. (I ran a test page and it printed/scanned fine, so I know it's plugged in and everything.) What do I do?

  • Need help with heater smell?

    I can't seem to make the smell coming from the heater go away completely. Turning on the heater blows the smell inside, but it's concentrated in the corner of the garage where the heater is. We've tried bleaching the hole below, cleaning it out, sticky paper for possible roaches or rats... no progress. Could it be coming from inside the vents? What might it be, and what can I do? Thanks for your responses!

  • What's this hairstyle called?

    I'm trying to find a picture. Think Linda from the Wedding Singer, but less 80's. Medium length, very choppy layers, with layers so short toward the top that it gives the hair extra body. and the back is pointy and thinner. I know it's popular among rocker chicks and some Filipino girls. Thanks if you can help! :)

  • POLL: your experience with christian tracts (evangelistic pamphlets-- see details)?

    are you an atheist or agnostic? when you receive or find one, what do you do with it? do you read it, do you just throw it away? do you ever think about it? are you annoyed or offended? what do the tracts say? does the person who gives it to you stop to talk to you, or just hand it to you/leave it for you to find? (this Q does not apply to JW lit.) thanks for your insight.

  • Atheists: Would You Rather... (please read before responding)?

    I often hear atheists complain about christians preaching to them, handing out tracts, talking too much about God...

    I also hear atheists complain that christians are hypocrites. one atheist wrote to a famous christian evangelist, "if you really believed in a hell you would be preaching to people every second begging them to open their eyes and be saved from that fate. you obviously don't believe it."

    so, WHICH WOULD YOU PREFER??

    Should I be a hypocrite who doesn't REALLY believe in heaven or hell or God, so I don't talk about it or love others enough to show them? OR should I step on some toes by bringing up God in conversation and talking to people about him when I can??

    Do you want us to be genuine and unapologetic? Or do you want us to be wishy-washy?
