I am trying to take pictures of my artwork and if I use the flash on the camera I get a horrible glare, if I don't use the flash the color comes out horrible looking. How do you get a clear picture of artwork without it comming out weird?

Probabillity of reincarnation. Please debate not berate. After your thoughts not your oughts.?

If you consider yourself above belief and logical. Answer these question in your mind and then you can either accept it. Or build an argument to continue your beliefs as before.

1. Do you believe you exist?

2. Did you exist before you were born or concieved?

3. Do you accept that there was a finite probabillity of you existing prior to your conception?

4. Do you think that you cease to exist after you die?

5. Is not existing prior to conception any different to not existing after death?

if you beleive you exist and you are consistently logical you have to conceed that the probabillity of existing again after dying is equal to the probabillity of you existing in the first place.
Therefore reincarnation has a possibillity. or argue your point.

Best books of two categories?

First category, Good contemporary fantasy like the golden compass.

Second category, some military memoirs or fiction from a soldier's (prefferably not american, just getting sick of the constant glorification) point of view.

First one to answer both thoroughly with good books (I'll look at the first few pages on amazon) get's best answer.
