  • Question:-How does the website 'death clock' work?
    I've done it five times. I enter in the same information; and yet. It says I'll die around 2085 (I'll be nearly 100). How does the site calculate the information?

  • Question:-Is there such a warning sound like a "death clock" or ticking sound when a computer is about to crash?
    *Usually hear a ticking sound or maybe it is just my monitor.
    *System sometimes restarts on it own and on next login there is a
    "system has recovered from a serious error" message with
    error report request.

    What can be done to correct this concern?

    Answer:-Sounds like your hard drive might be failing...

    Usually hard drives make a lot of noise and clicking when they are failing, because they are spinning, and the scanning head can be lose or rubbing up against something...

    I suggest back up your stuff, and get a new Hard Drive...

    Otherwise, recovering from a serrious error may mean there is a software/hardware conflict...

    Try updating windows fully...

    BUT #1 First and Foremost, back up the files you dont want to lose while you can :)>
  • Question:-The DUI death clock.Ever heard of it?How accurate is this death clock?
    also where are they getting their stats from.How can they keep the death clock current.Doesnt it take time to investigate cause of the crash and report it

    Answer:-See site below. Based on one death every 30mins
  • Question:-Why do we become death to the clock ticking?
    For example, when we are in our rooms we tend to ignore the sound of the clock ticking but when we concentrate on the clock we then hear the sound of the ticking. Why is that?
    I hope I made my question clear enough

    Answer:-Our body and mind are capable of focus. Some people use the term "selective hearing". If we are focusing on something else our brain is telling our ears to listen to that. You have to remember that our brain tells our whole entire body to do what we are doing, in a matter of milliseconds.

x factor results

  • Question:-Same difference miming on x factor results show?
    Is it just me, or were Same Difference not singing on the x factor results show?? To me it looked like they were blatently miming...Not very good seeing as this is a talent show and no other act has ever mimed on it.

    Answer:-I am an audio technician, they actually did lip sync extremely well, although there is no way they would jump up and down like that and sound so good....

    biggest give away, was when they were getting interviewed afterward, did you hear the quality of those headset microphones?

    in studios when recording they use pop sheilds, (view image below)

    http://farm1.static.flickr.com/163/356844075_bd014f2b7c.jpg?v=0

    what we heard was a classic example of how a mic sounds without one (when they got interviewed at the end)

    Also it was too obvious how it sounded, the sound quality was far superior to what anyone could get in a live performance, unless the sound engineer has GOD like tools behind the desk.......

    recording sound and live sound is so much different.....i think we have established this.......

    Melodyne is software which is pitch correction software for vocalists, they were even using this on the recording, i can spot it a mile off....

    example here of how it works...

    http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=8zeLKMHxbN8

    ok well i hope this clears things up for you, YES they were miming.....quite sad actually.....this is were commercialism and a true talent show collide in such a way that commercialism will always win....

  • Question:-What was the dramatic intro music on X-Factor results show tonight?
    When the judges came onto the stage tonight, there was a great piece of music used. I know it's not the usual one - O Fortuna - as that one is usually used during the performance shows, not the results show. This one was different, and I think it's also been performed by that girl group of violinists but I have no idea what the title is.

    Does anyone know?

    Thanks.

    Answer:-I thought tonight they walked on to Queens "another one bites the dust" ??!

  • Question:-what happened in x factor live results 3?? How did Miss Frank get eliminated?
    Hey,
    I kind of missed the show tonight but i was wondering HOW did Miss frank get eliminated???

    Answer:-ARGH I know I don't get that either! I mean, Danyl and Miss Frank are amazing acts! And Miss Frank this week were stunning in their singing and outfits! What has got into the public? I mean WHY are John and Edward still in? They're absolute bollacks!!
    Ha ha you can tell I get pretty worked up about this show :/ But I just think it's stupid that John and Edward are in, it's a singing competition and as entertaining as they may be, for the wrong reasons, they reaalllllllly need to go if we're starting to loss good acts like Miss Frank instead of them.
    I blame Louis for putting them through. Stupid Irish.
  • Question:-can someone please tell me what the latest x factor results are?
    Im in swissland and quite frankly the xfactor website is nt all that good for people who missed it.

    and if you have any online links I will be very very happy.

    Enkosi kakhulu (thank you very much)

    Answer:-Alexandra, Eoghan and JLS are in the final !!
    They left the pressure on the two left, which was Eoghan and Diana...and when Eoghan found out that Diana was going , everyone was in shock, especially Eoughan Quigg. I think there is something going on there haha!!
    Anyway, hope this helps and your having a nice time in Swissland :)

    haha xx
  • Question:-What's ur say about the X-Factor results last night!?
    I get annoyed by the results last night!
    It's totally vague & unclear that Simon Coward, I mean 'Cowell' deadlocked the votes to publicity & had save those 2 idiots 'twins' losing the beautiful talented singer..

    what's ur opinion with the show!?
    Is it still a 'singing' competition or an entertainment show only??

    Answer:-Apparently, I know that too many young people voted for this humorous Jedward cuz they consider them as 'entertainers'!! to the show that make it so funny..

    Well, what's the point of watching this programme!?? As ITV states X-factor a 'SINGING' contest not a 'comedy dancing' show!

    Honestly, the British Public had lost their consideration to it as a 'Professional Singing' Competition & now just regard it to a funny show.. This makes all POINTLESS! Jedward should've instead join the next Britain's Got Talent in 2010 cuz it's totally the TALENT show for all!!!!! They're utterly just digust the credibility of X-factor & ITV..

    I personally think Simon saving those twat twins so that his acts would have saved & win..

harp

  • Question:-What's the difference between lever harp and celtic harp?
    I know that the lever harp has levers at the top to make the note sharp but beside from that are there any other big differences? Also, I really want to, and plan on, learning to play the harp. For a beginner, which one should I choose?

    Answer:-A celtic harp is a lever harp the terms you are looking for are celtic and folk which are different names for the same thing too. Lever harps can range from lap harps about 2 ft tall with 22 strings to 5 ft tall with as man as 40 strings.These strings come in nylon, wire, and gut as a beginner I do not recommend wire strings because they are difficult to replace if they break and generally more expensive but they do give the base a great sound. For a beginner if you are not sure about playing the harp start off by renting. There are great harp stores out their that will rent you a harp till you are ready to commit because committing is a big step and can cost quite a bit. If you are ready to commit shop around have someone else play the harp you are thinking about getting to see if you like the sound as a audience member, harps sound different when you are playing them. Also I would not recommend lap harps in general. Although they are easier to carry around it is also very hard to find one that sounds good because they are too small in addition they severely limit your song selections because many harp songs require at least 3 and 1/2 octaves. Hope this helps and like I said there really is not I difference just celtic harp sounds much fancier than a folk harp.
  • Question:-What "size" Celtic harp is best, especially for a beginner?
    I'm thinking of buying a Celtic harp. What's the minimum size (number of strings) that will still allow me to play most Celtic harp music? I don't want to buy a harp, buy music, then find out that my harp doesn't have the range I need to play the music. Been there, done that, with another instrument---don't want to go thru that frustration again!

    Answer:-I agree with the above answer, bigger is definitely better. When it comes to harps, the more strings you have, the more range you have to play music. Usually the most strings you can find on a celtic harp are 36 to 38 strings. If you can afford a harp with 2 octaves below middle C you'll be set for the rest of your celtic harp playing days. Those 2 octaves below middle C will give you enough room to play different accompaniments in your left hand. Of course the larger harps get, the more expensive they tend to get so you want as many strings as you can afford. Another thing you want to consider is levers on the harp. It is great to get a harp with a full set of levers because that will allow you to grow into the harp as you progress, giving you the flexibility to play in different keys without having to constantly retune strings. The least amount of levers you want on a celtic harp is levers on the C & F strings. Atleast with levers on those strings you can easily play in the C, D, and G major keys. I worked at a harp store for 5 years and play myself so I know what kind of information you may be needing. Good luck and have fun playing the harp!
  • Question:-Is a Harp or Violin better for a beginner?
    I'm very interested in learning to play an instrument but I'm having some trouble deciding between a Harp and a Violin. Which would be a better instrument for a novice with very little musical knowlege?

    Answer:-Start with the violin.Trust me,the harp is much much harder.
  • Question:-How should I tune a 15 string harp?
    I just bought a 15 string lap harp and I was wondering how should I tune it? I thought about tuning it every semi and whole note starting at C up to the D an octave above the first C so I can play in any key, but I end up getting a very limited range.

    As well, if you can, please recommend any websites that have free sheet music, thanks.

    Answer:-I don't play harp but I know some people who do.

    You tune it to a C major diatonic scale -- the red strings are C's and the blue strings are F's. Better quality/more advanced models have sharping levers on the C and F strings to facilitate retuning to play in different keys (want to play in G? Flip the sharping levers on all the F strings to make them into F#'s -- no problem). Top quality harps have sharping levers on every string to make the instrument fully chromatic. If your instrument doesn't have sharping levers, then to play in different keys, you'll have to manually retune to get the necessary sharps or flats you'll need for the key you want.

    Hope this helps.
  • Question:-How does ones harp turn to mourning and ones flute to the sound of those who weep?
    Job 30:31 - "Therefore my harp is turned to mourning, And my flute to the sound of those who weep.

    Answer:-I have no idea, I looked it up to see if it made anymore sense in context of the other verses, but couldn't heads or tails of it.

    Sorry.
  • Question:-How much does one Harp string generally cost?
    My friend just broke a sting on her harp and she's freaking out. She said it was the second to lowest string. How much will is cost her to replace it?

    Answer:-It's not that big a deal, really - it does happen occasionally (though usually on the higher strings). It could cost a lot more than 5$ though if it's the second to lowest string, as the lower the strings go the more expensive.
    How much it costs really depends on what kind of harp she has but it'll probably be £7-£12 or $7-$13. Could be less if it's a smaller harp.
  • Question:-Is playing the Celtic harp difficult?
    I play the piano, recorder and fiddle and wanted to play the harp also. Does it take awhile to actually sound good? And would you need an instructor to teach you?

    Answer:-I imagine that like all musical instruments you would need an instructor to teach you
  • Question:-How would I go about learning to play the harp?
    I've always wanted to learn how. If I could master just one musical instrument, it would be the harp. How much would a harp cost? How about the lessons? Could I possibly teach myself? Any info would help. Thanks.

    Answer:-I'm a harper; I've been teaching myself for sixteen years now. You may e-mail me if you like, and I can give you more specific information. Where do you live? What variety of harp would you like to play--pedal or lever? I can direct you better if I have an idea what you have in mind.
    I play Irish harp, and so most of the music I play is Irish, Scottish or Welsh. My harp is made by a company called Dusty Strings, based in Seattle, Washington, USA; I bought it at Melody's Traditional Music in Houston, Texas. Mine has 32 strings; if you were to buy it new today, it would be about $3,900.00. Dusty Strings is the best maker of lever, or folk, harps in the US, in my opinion.
    If you're interested in pedal harp, a cheap one will be about $10,000, but it is completely chromatic, and has a greater range than lever harps have.
    You can teach yourself some things, but a teacher will be of immense help. You might inquire at your local music store; they're the best connection for music teachers and students to hook up.
  • Question:-How to get different sounds out of my harp?
    When I play it it goes, what? I am looking for my harp to make the most shocking sounds ever.

    Answer:-Draw on holes 2 and 5 while blocking holes 3 and 4 with your tongue!

    lol..... Hopefully you have a harmonica.......
  • Question:-How could I know if a harp is of good quality?
    Hello. I want to buy an 38 string celtic harp, but I want to know if it's a good idea to buy one online in webpages like ebay or are there brands that are better than the offbrand ones found in this sites.
    How could I know if a harp is of good quality?

    Thank you

    Answer:-Exercise great caution!
    Too many beginning harpers are suckered in by buying a cheap Pakistani-made harp. These are usually made from rosewood, and have some machine-made flowery carvings on the sides. If that's what you're seeing on E-Bay, then I strongly advise against it. They are cheaply made, and of poor quality. As I say so often, you get what you pay for; and even an experienced harper can't make a crappy instrument sound good.
    I usually advise beginners that you should never buy a harp you haven't personally played for yourself--it's too chancy. That being said, there are very reputable makers in the United States that I would recommend, but they are different enough in their styles that your personal preference should still dictate which one you choose. I'd recommend anything by Dusty Strings (mine is a Dusty Strings 32-string, in walnut); Triplett and Thormahlen also make high-quality harps.
    You don't mention the harp maker in your question; if you like, you are welcome to e-mail me with whatever particulars you know about this harp you're considering, and maybe I can help you arrive at a decision.
