I hooked my ps3 to an HD tv for the first time today. I unhooked it and hooked it back to my own tv which is not HD. Now I cant hear or see anything. The power comes on fine but no audio and no start screen. Its been working fine before now on my tv. Any suggestions?

There's a larghetto by Handel for violin that I am trying to find the sheet music for. I guess it is not attached to any sonata or anything because wherever I see it recorded its titled "Unspecified larghetto". Anyone know of this piece? You can hear it on an album called "The art of Steven Staryk" and on "Encores of Nathan Milstein". Thank you.

There is an album called "Hooked on Classics" and on the Baroque one is a track called "Hooked on Scarlatti". I really like it but they don't tell you what the original piece is called. Does anyone know which Scarlatti piece it is?

In your opinion who has conducted your favorite recording of Giovanni Palestrina's, Missa Papae Marcelli?

Are people in Gaza being allowed to leave? Israel has given numerous warnings to Gazans either by leaflet or phone call saying that certain areas are going to be attacked, or the war is going to escalate. Is Israel allowing Gazans to leave?

What force, or energy had to exist in order to create or form the first thing (whatever it was)?

I mean, if there is no God, what eternal force was it that created something out of nothing (if in fact science teaches that there was a point when there was "nothing")?

And this is a very serious question, I am Christian but I dont want to be ignorant to other people's views of the world. I want to know what atheists believe existed in order for something to come from nothing. A, "We do not know," is fine as well, seeing as there are some things within the bible that people dont, and will never know.

Thank you for your answers.

What is your opinion on how this man affected human history?

Positive and negative responses are welcome.

What is your opinion on why this wonderful gift we call music, so important to mankind?

Barak Hussein Obama may be the antichrist? The clues that I have read are very interesting.

OK here are the antichrist characteristics compared with Obama:

1. The beast (antichrist) will rise from the sea Revelation 13. Obama was born on a Hawaiian island.

2. The antichrist will be different from all the kings (rulers, in our case presidents) before him. Barack is certainly different from every other president.

3. He will be worshipped. Many people around the world actually call Obama the Messiah, the One, Saviour, and I just watched a video with teenagers doing a march and calling Obama, Alpha and Omega. He is the only president in history to be openly declared as a messianic figure.

4. 2 Thessalonians 2 says that the beast will be known as the lawless one. On Nov. 11 2008 Obamas codename chosen by the secret service was "renegade". Renegade means-lawless one, rebel, deserter.

5. The antichrist will start small but rise great in power...His power will not come from himself. (I think this means he will rise to power by other powerful people). In 12 years Obama went from Chicago community organizer, to US senator, then steamrolled over the Clinto machine with Democratic superdelegates unable to resist him. Obama was supported by Oprah Winfrey, Ted Kennedy, Louis Farakhan, Spike Lee, and much of Hollywood supported him. Hurricane Gustav came and postponed the Republican Convention. Just as McCain got ahead Wall Street crashed almost ensuring Obamas win. The night before elections obamas grandmother died (sadly), which would open up a sympathy vote.

6. The antichrist will speak like a lion. Obama is a Leo with an uncanny speaking ability.

7. In revelation it is believed that the figure on the white horse who goes to conquer is the antichrist. In the Quran it is said Muhammad was carried by a white horse. The name of the horse is Burak.

8. Revelation 17:12-13 says that 10 kings (rulers) will receive power from the beast in one hour. The day after election Obama made and received phone calls from 10 heads of nations including the anti American president of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

9. He will cause great devastation. Obama plans to get our soldiers out of Iraq (which I want too), but a US general said that if soldiers were prematurely pulled out of Iraq it would cause GREAT DEVASTATION.

Now the next clues may seem more coincidenta; but they are none the less amazing.

1. The winning lottery #'s in Illionois (Obamas home town) were a pick 3 and a pick 4. The pick 3 was- 666, and the pick 4 was 7779.

666 is the number of the beast, 777 is the number of completion, and 9 is the number of judgment. And 3+4=7(completion).

2. The bible code has the name Obama found in Revelation 13. This passage is the best descriptive scripture pertaining to the antichrist.

I thought these things were very interesting and I am looking at Obama closer now. There is one thing that the bible says about the antichirst that Obama does not seem to correlate with and that is, the antichrist will have no interest in women, but Obama is married with children.

Which pieces of music by Antonio Vivaldi would you consider his best (besides "The Four Seasons")?

Who do you prefer, and why?

Does anyone know of a recording for Chopin's Prelude 15 (raindrop) composed for violin?

Does anyone have recordings of or recommendations for Antonio Vivaldi's Laetatus Sum (Be Joyful)? I Tunes only has like two recordings, and I already have Andrew Parrott's version.

Also, who has conducted the best recordings of Vivaldi's Concerto for 2 Cellos?

What are some of the greatest classical symphonies you would recommend? Any composer is fine.

Who seems more concerned about remaining an ally to Israel and supporting them, McCain or Obama? I know both support Israel but who seems stronger in their defense?

We are discussing this in my church. We are not at all implying evolution or anything.

In Genesis 1:1 It reads "In the beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth." In Hebrew the word 'bara' is used which means 'to create'. This word 'bara' is a perfect verb meaning the thing implied is finished and done with. Some English translations have put the word 'and' at the beginning of verse two which is not a good translation because in the Hebrew, vereses 1 and 2 are not connected. Verse 1 is completed, the heavens and the earth are created completely in verse 1. Now I am not saying life has been created yet only the stars (sun as well), planets, moons, galaxies, etc. NOw we know light from stars takes millions if not billions of years to reach Earth. So how much time passed from the creation of heavens and earth to when God said "Let there be light?"

Now in verse 2 most translations say the Earth was desolate and void but in Isaiah 45:18 it says that God did not create the earth void or in vain; the Hebrew word for void or vain here is 'bohu' (say it like bow-hoo). So a better translation of Genesis verse 2 would be "and the Earth became desolate and void" because in another verse of scripture (sorry I dont remember off the top of my head) it says something like "an overflow of water and the Earth standing out of the water and in the water." The Greek word for 'overflow' in this New Testament scripture is the word 'cataclysm' or 'catstrophe'. So Genesis 1:2 is about the Earth that God created being overflowed with water or a 'cataclysm of water' that changed the Earth.

Now moving along in verse 2 it says the Spirit of God was hovering or moving, examining the surface of the waters. Picture helicopters hovering over the destruction of hurricane Katrina and they are examinig the damage; that is what God may have been doing; examinig the damage done by this catastrophe of water.

It is an interesting and I think important study so that we can teach our children who are taught atheism in school what is true and what is not true. Like I said my church does not believe in evolution at all just the possibility that if this word 'bara' which means to create is a perfect verb (completed and done) then the earth could certainly be billions of years old. If this is true it in no wise changes any doctrine within the bible. Jesus still is Lord and Saviour and the bible is still an authentic book of history.

God bless

Anyone know where I can get the score for violin of the song "The Gravel Road" from "The Village" soundtrack?

The only part I need is the very last part called "Dona Nobis Pacem". I have about 6 recordings already but I wanted peoples opinions. Thanks and God bless.

There are many things I find wrong in Roman Catholocism.

No one should be called Holy Father but God the father.

Christ does not suffer every time we remember the last supper (eating bread and drinking wine).

Everyone no matter priest or nun should be able to marry.(I think this is why there are so many disguisting things happening with many Catholic priests).

I would like song titles you all think are on par or better than these:

Beethoven "Ode to Joy"

Bach "Mass in B Minor; Dona Nobis Pacem

Henry V soundtrack "Non Nobis Domine"

These are all real glorious pieces of music and I would appreciate recommendations.
