I made the mistake of watching an episode of doctor who and now I'm hooked . Why can't American tv be like this? I'd trade the number of episodes for quality in a heartbeat. Never saw a British tv show that I didn't absolutely fall in love with. The same can be said for only a handful of shows stateside.

I was playing around with some free presets I downloaded. Once the filter was applied I couldn't really get rid of the halos. I'll try to emulate the effect without the halos or the extra sharpening.

Unless he made the whole thing up to drive traffic to his site... Wonder if there is any correlation between the prices of the caps and their rating.

Alternate crop.

Someone tried tying up their hammock on the adjacent tree but the gentleman jerked up and yelled, "NO VACANCY!" Everyone in the area started rolling over in laughter but the gentleman himself was too inebriated to join in the fun.

The issue arises as the burden of proof falls on the believers of the world. The proofs arguing for existence - first cause, good and bad, morality and depravity, etc. all get tossed out very quickly. The only apriori proof for existence was offered by Anselm and it is a very fine proof. I struggled against it for a few months but eventually found holes in it that my advisor couldn't fill. That was my opportunity to call it my thesis . Somehow I got around ever having to take the intro course in philosophy. They discovered it when I was about to graduate and used it for a writing credit at the time but given how many more papers I had written in other courses, they waived the intro class. There have been many much smarter people before me who set out to prove or disprove the existence of god - I wanted to make a decision for myself instead of going with what my parents told me was true. The process required reading a lot and conversing with those of faith and those without but this was the summary conclusion I came up with - I don't know if god exists for there is no apriori proof that proves his/her existence. The proofs against the existence of god can be destroyed with equal ease for they too make some grave assumptions - not being able to prove existence does not imply non existence. It does in a finite Boolean world but ours is one with time. Time for further inquiry. If believing in god or religion makes one a better person/puts one in a better state of mind, then by all means believe in whatever you please but no policy or rule should be made that is influenced by any religious motif whatsoever (open Pandora's box). As such the majority's view encroach the freedoms of those who may not share their beliefs. If god really does exist I doubt he wants someone to treat another unfairly in his/her name. I'll see if I can dig it up from my old emails and send it over if you would like to read it.

Maybe you were growing in girth dusty...? With a "head on" view...har har.

Butter and herb rice with beef stew cooked in the slow cooker for 18 hours. Came out fantasic.

While trying to find a topic for my philosophy masters thesis, I spent almost a year studying the philosophy of psychiatry before deciding to pursue the question of the existence of god. I had never really found a topic where the reading was so much fun. Well not until I ran across Christopher Hitchens. Without prompts, I wonder how many people could differentiate between the notes from religious zealots and the fringe thinkers (psych academics) I spoke with Could make for another interesting philosophy paper. Psychiatrists are certainly among the weirder people I have met. But they all had conversations with me that I never wished to end.

I recently started shadowing an ortho surgeon with a very busy practice - 16 patients before noon. He said he spent his residency in the OR and then the moment he started working at a private practice, the senior partner told him that the office visits was where the billable hours were. Further, 85% of his salary comes from office visits and he spent just a few days a month actually doing surgeries. I find procedures waaaaay more fun than practicing medicine without them but I am also happy that unanimously every single surgeon I have spoken with has warned me that to be able to do surgery, one must bill plenty of inane office hours first. The four hours I spent with him were spent running from room to room and frantically dictating notes when time permitted and just bouncing from one knee pain to another with a rotator cuff thrown in. Emergency medicine seems to offer a compromise of "more" interesting cases and procedures but trauma surgery seems to be perfectly fit the bill for what I want to do. If only it weren't so ridiculously difficult to get a residency spot in it...either that or psychiatry. No procedures but I love the subject matter. Let's see what the board exam gods have in store for me.

The SAME exact thing was told to our group by our Physical Diagnosis class preceptor who is a vascular surgeon at a nearby hospital - if a physician offers to let you see or better yet do anything at all, even if it is holding the retractor, you stay the extra time and you do it. It was a pre med scribe working with him whom he offered a chance to observe a stent repair surgery and the scribe turned him down because his shift was over. The surgeon took offense and never offered anything cool to the scribe again.

No Vacancy.

Got a call from his scrub nurse about an hour later asking me if I wanted to observe another similar surgery...I was already on campus so politely declined but holy shit. That man is a fucking machine.

Just got out of the first long surgery I observed. Started at 5am. Finished at 1pm. Complete double mastectomy and reconstructive surgery. My feet hurt so freaking bad. I have no clue how the 67 year old surgeon did it all. So much respect for the surgeons and staff.

I don't think anyone has said that about the Jh 16s or 13s, custom or universals.

Hmm sounded fine to me...

Emotiva dac was very nice. I like my ps audio dl3.

Holy crap...

It has spoilt me. Nothing comes close in sharpness. Even at f1.4 it is disgustingly sharp. I got the nikkor 85/1.8 for a longer focal length and typically the focal length has the sharpest lenses but I have to stop it down to f4 to get anything usable which to me is a waste of money. I'm sending it back for a replacement to see if maybe I just got a bad copy but if the second one is poor as well I will likely wait for the sigma art version of 85mm. What I really want is their 135/1.8 so might just wait for that. I tried the 135/2 dc from nikon but wide open it was very soft without any dc.

Thank you The portrait was with the nikkor 85/1.8 and the others were with the sigma 35/1.4 art series.

Yah. Added in Lightroom.
