pipa

• Question:-What is the closest instrument to the pipa?
  The pipa is a chinese instrument heard in the openin of Incubus's "Aqueos Transmission." it's a real neat tune and I don't know what would soUnd like it. Any help?
  
  Answer:-Koto is a similar-sounding instrument, but you can also just play the riff on guitar. (There are effects out there that'll make the guitar sound kind of like a sitar - that works well.)
• Question:-What is the difference between SOPA and PIPA?
  What are the differences between the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Protect Intellectual Property Act (PIPA) that are currently being debated?
  Is it only that SOPA is in the House and PIPA is in the Senate or are there other differences?
  
  Please and thank you :)
  
  Answer:-There are a few differences, but both will kill the internet if they pass.
  
  Here we can still fight this horrid thing.

• Question:-How are the Sopa and Pipa bills good?
  I already know plenty of reasons why it is bad but i want to understand why any one would want such a bill to pass. I will not counter you or anything i'm going to remain open minded. Can some one direct me to some Pro Sopa/Pipa sites?
  
  Answer:-
• Question:-What are the pros and cons of SOPA and PIPA?
  I hear that record labels, movie studios, etc are in favor of SOPA and PIPA but websites like Wikipedia are against it.
  
  I don't really understand what they are, can someone enlighten me?
  
  Answer:-
• Question:-Will SOPA and PIPA ensure the government will have total control of all mass media?
  The government needs to prevent us from seeing what they are doing and total media control is to the benefit of a tyrannical government, because they need to control what is news that's 'fit to print'.
  
  Since the government controls all of mainstream-media in the United States and the internet is the last place we can go to find what isn't reported, will SOPA and PIPA ensure that the government has total control of what we are allowed to read and think?
  
  Answer:-That's what they are trying to do. Read about Cass Sunstein (sp?) obamas information czar. He wants to stop the people from questioning anything.
• Question:-When will we see some action taken on SOPA and PIPA by the government?
  Like when will congress discuss SOPA and PIPA to get it to either pass or fail? I think I recall someone saying January 17, but I'm not sure. I would like to know when the fate of the internet will be decided.
  
  Answer:-The house has just dropped the hearing on SOPA that was scheduled for 1/18/12. They have postponed plans to consider the bill. The Senate will be voting on PIPA on 1/24/12. Please lobby your senator to oppose that bill.

• Question:-How likely is it that the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and PIPA will be passed?
  Have just read briefly about a possible bill that may be passed that will have massive effects on the internet, online privacy and so forth.
  
  How likely is it that any bill seriously impacting online privacy / freedom of speech will be passed in the U.S.? If so, do you think such a bill will seriously change the online world as we know it?

• Question:-does anyone play the erhu or the pipa?
  i want to explore some non-traditional musical instruments, what types do you recommend for soothing sounds...where can i find them?
  
  Answer:-traditional chinese music instruments:
  erhu
  pipa
  yang qin
  gu zhen
  gaohu
  banhu
  and many others
  
  I -myself- learn erhu, coz I luv its mellow tunes..
  but in the place I learn music, most students play gu zhen coz it's easier.
  String instruments like erhu, just like violin, will give u bad sound when u first play it. But, with time goes by, the sound improves. (Youtube has many video music for erhu and guzhen)
  But with instrument like pipa or gu zhen u will get go0d sound even if u play it for 1st time
  
  Erhu knowns in many movie (chinese movie or martial art movie).
  Check out 12 girls band for ur sound reference. Or try to open this link http://eason.com.sg/products/products_new.jsp just for u to see the pictures of those instruments or to hear example of the sound instruments
• Question:-Do PIPA and SOPA affect countries other than America?
  I live in Spain I don't want this internet censorship to happen as much as the next person but I can't do anything about it as I am not a citizen of the US. Will this censorship affect me or is it only US citizens. It's completely unfair if it affects me and I can't even voice my say.

• Question:-Christopher Plummer?
  If Wicked was made into the movie, do you think Christopher Plummer would make a great Wizard?
  I think he would!
  Oh what's his address by the way?
  This is my ideal cast:
  Elphaba - Kerry Ellis/Idina Menzel
  Glinda - Kristin Chenoweth
  Wizard - Christpher Plummer
  Fieyro - Leonardo DiCaprio
  Madam Morrible - Miriam Margoyles/Julie Andrews
  Boq - James Gillian
  Nessarose - Karen Dotrice
  Dr Dillamond - Sir Ian Holm
  Classmate - Jodi Benson
  Munchkins - ?
  Fieyro - Angus DeWilton
  
  Answer:-He'd be the PERFECT Wizard! He's such a great actor but, sorry, I've never seen anything that says he can be contacted. I imagine anyone writing a fan letter would have to write to his agent and ask them to forward the letter.
• Question:-Do you think Christopher Plummer will win an Oscar tonight?
  I know that everyone thinks that guy from Inglorious Bastards will win, but Christopher Plummer is 80 years old and never won an Oscar. Don't you think they'll give it to him since he's so old and never won?
  
  Answer:-I don't think so...
  
  There is a chance but this is the Oscars. They will agree with you or hit you in the face with a surprise winner
• Question:-Why did Christopher Plummer dislike his role in the movie "The Sound of Music"?

• Question:-What are some of Christopher Plummer's Horror Films?
  Can anyone provide a list of horror films that star Christopher Plummer please?
  
  The only two I know are The Clown At Midnight & Nosferatu in Venice
  
  Answer:-Christopher Plummer was in Possessed, Dracula 2000, Twelve Monkeys, and Already Dead. Hope these helped.
• Question:-I've always thought Christopher Plummer looks artistocratic, what do you think?
  I know he's a Canadian actor, a fine one at that. I have always thought he has lovely yet strangely sinister looks. He has a regal bearing. Am I crazy to think so? I hope not. I think he'd make a fine ruler of a small country.
  
  Answer:-I actually met him in 2002 when he played King Lear at the Stratford Festival here in Ontario.
  If you're unfamiliar with the festival, it's this - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratford_Shakespeare_Festival
  He was kind enough to give me an autograph, and in person he really is quite regal in his bearing and demeanour.
  He probably would make a fine monarchy somewhere, but he's got the (rather twisted) Canadian sense of humour so he'd probably cause an international incident or two.
• Question:-Can't find a Cinderella film starring Christopher Plummer, Can anyone help?
  My mother saw this film about 26 years ago on television and has never seen it since. I have tried to find information on the the web with hope to eventually get this film but with no luck. It would be great if anyone can help us. Thanks.
  
  Answer:-The Sound of Music ?
• Question:-What James Bond movie & what character did Christopher Plummer play? (the guy from the sound of music)?
  
  
  Answer:-I looked him up and he is not in any of the James Bond movies. There is a movie called Tripple Cross (1966) that was kind of like a James bond movie. His character name was Eddie Chapman in that one. I hope this helps you out.
• Question:-Does Max Von Sydow look like Christopher Plummer in recent years?
  
  
  Answer:-Yeah, kind of.
• Question:-Is Christopher Plummer related to Jason Isaacs?
  Christopher Plummer played Captain Von Trapp in the 1965 "The Sound of Music," starring Julie Andrews. Jason Isaacs is most recently known for his recurring role as Lucius Malfoy in the Harry Potter movies.
  If you look at early pictures of Plummer (like the 1965 ones from "The Sound of Music") and compares them to pictures of Isaacs, the resemblance is remarkable, even without Lucius' platinum hair!!
  I was wondering if anybody had found if the two were related.
  This has been bugging me for a VERY long time and if you could help me, that would be fantastic!!
  Thanks.
  
  Answer:-No, they are not related.

  Answer:-Edelweiss- Charmian Carr
  
  i hope this helped
