M-W defines a sample as "an excerpt from a musical recording that is used in another artist's recording." Usually, samples are taken out of context of the original, and put to a different purpose. In this case, taking a verse from a song about madness, murder and revenge, and turning it into a reflection on isolation, loneliness and possibly lust.

A few more picturess from the first roll of Velvia 50: The only wrinkle thus far has been this: I am so pleased with how Velvia 50 looks when conventionally processed that I am now less interested in subjected it to cross processing. I am sure I will tackle that at some point.

It was not the phyiscal or virtual location of the monitor that was the issue, but rather which monitor windows identifies at "1" or "2." This appears to be tied to the DVI outs, and isn't switchable. That said, I was able to solve the issue with trial an error. Windows does like to muck up the screen resolution. 0_o Owning a Mac laptop for a month now has not fostered any warm feelings toward my PC.

Wow. That's pretty fucked up right there, dude.

Apologies if this has already been posted.

I have no idea, TBH.

I have an AGP (yes, it's old) video card with dual DVI outputs. Currently, I only have one working monitor. Are the the outputs on AGP and PCI video card standardized with regard to the location of monitor one and two in Windoes? i.e. is the left DVI out (when looking at the back of the card) always monitor one? Unfortunately, I am not in a position to test this myself. I need the one working monitor I have to be monitor one on the first boot in this instance.

Ugh. I weed-whacked the back 40 two days ago. I actually started it several weeks before, but house repairs and a trip to MV, not to mention this endless rain kept me from resuming it. I was chopping down weeds nearly as tall as I am. An alarming number of them were wooden at the bottom, which wreaked havok with my weed whacker. I don't use a line head, I have one that has three plastic blade. I went through two sets this year so far. I'm going to have to go back out there with a hand saw and take out a few dozen would-be saplings. There was more than a little poison ivy out there, and even though I showered immediately after I finished, using Dr. Bronner's peppermint soap, I still have a few itchty spots on my arm. Truth is, I'm rather lucky that's all I got. Home ownership is overrated. Land ownership, even more so.

I was going to link you to this post, but that won't work of course.

Nice icon, ASR.

(Almost) four years on head-fi: 175 posts 10 months on head-case: over 700 posts. @EOF.

I had Iris Photo scan the slides. They offer three resolutions of scanning, base (300dpi @ 4x6") which is $8 for a CD, or a free upload to their server for members, and uh, two higher rez. ones, which are $15 and $20 respectively. I dun remember the size because I haven't had my coffee yet. I opted for the middle one on this first roll of Velvia. After looking at the slides, they didn't get the contrast as right as I would have liked, but the results are still quite good. I to eventually plan on buying a slide scanner. I cannot argue with this, your logic is impeccable.

Jernegan Pond, which sits at the edge of my property on Martha's Vineyard, is one of my most covered subjects. I've shot it with a Sony Mavica (blech), Canon PowerShot S60 (regular and HDR), EOS 30D (ditto), several different film stocks, and a menagerie of lenses. This might not be the best picture I've ever taken of it, but it's effin' close. I suspect if there's a better shot, it's somewhere on this roll of Velvia 50. I haven't uploaded any other pix from the Velvia roll yet. I'll try to get to that in the next couple days. I've uploaded some shots taken with the Vivitar Ultra Wide & Slim as well: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3022/2727779127_2f0bf75c11.jpg[/img http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3103/2727993347_23f1b1bde1.jpg[/img http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3268/2728619814_d7dd2ea575.jpg[/img Film was some generic ISO 200 store brand. There's a couple more shots on my Flickr page. Those are nice shots you posted, Cankin. That last one illustrates a fun aspect of the camera: the wacky flare it produces when you shoot it into the sun. Do you remember what film stock you used?

I'm mobile, stealing wahrless internets from some unsuspecting donor, so no time for a proper reply. The $3 price for the Vivitar per unit in lots of 100, I am afraid. I got one of eBay for $12. I ran a roll of junky ISO200 print film though it. Results are amusing, I'll post some examples later. Re: developing film myself. That is definitely in the future. I am currently in the process of renovating my house. I'm going to turn the downstairs bathroom in my house into a darkroom. Initially, I'm going to teach myself to develop black & white film, but I plan to work up to color film, and then cross processing. That will all take time of course... Now, the real subject I meant to post about: I just got back the slides and scans from the first roll of Velvia 50 I ever shot. It is officially the best film stock ever. I have never seen blues or greens the beautiful before. I'll post results when I'm at home.
