I understand how it could affect the "cheater", but how does it affect the author?

Left path: The path less traveled by, your known by all, and have total independece. Ability to make great changes the world has never seen, be looked at as an angel or devil. Your power is endless. You are totally emotionless and nothing means a thing (people, friends, life) exept to see how much change you can bring for good or worse. Your presence and actions will have and everlasting affect on the world or existence it self. You are nothing short of a god, and believe you are neither evil or good, since emotions do not exist and life has no true meaning.

Right Path: The perfect life as seen from the world. Have a high paying job, a loving family, and not a care in the world. Interact with people and have nothing but good experiences. You embrace your emotions and live for every day. At the end you dont fear death because you have enjoyed your life so dearley. But when death comes you will be forgotten and erased from existence. You have become nothing.

this argument does not necessarily reflect my opinions, i'm simply throwing out this side of the argument. tell me your thoughts after reading.

1. every action, decision, etc. we make is based off of a reason. that reason stems from a past experience. that experience was based off reason -- it simply goes down the line until whenever implicit or explicit (whichever comes first) memories begin to form. therefore, memories seem to be what binds us from having true free will, although that free will would simply be randomness.

2. the uncertainty principle of quantum mechanics states that one can only know one of these variables at a given time: speed of an electron or it's location. it also states if one knew both, they would be given an infinite amount of information regarding that atom. doesn't this imply that fate is already mapped out.

I'm auditioning for Children of Eden next weekend. I just found out about the audition today and I'm not too familiar with the show. I know the music is Stephen Schwartz, but I don't want to use Wicked for the audition b/c it's just too overdone now. I don't think anything from Godspell would work well either.

I've only got 30 seconds.

I'm a Soprano 2/Alto 1 mostly, but can go higher.

There is clear evidence of chromatic aberation in the form of the dreaded purple fringe. I have placed a red dot at each end of the fringe where it appears in this photo, which is identical to "Osprey in Tower," immediately adjacent to this shot my photostream.

The sun was somewhat low in the sky. You can tell the direction of the light by the highlights on the bird's chest and by seeing which sides of the tower steel are lit.

Fringe appears at high contrast interfaces, so I'd like to know why it is on the lit edge of the steel in some spots and on the shaded side in others, including along the Osprey's back.

Would a better lens have the same problem under similar conditions or would the fringe go away?

f/5.6 is the maximum aperture for this 70-300 VR lens at the shooting length of 300 mm.

Thanks for you help.

I've been nothing but nice to her and she's openly expressed her dislike for me .She's threatened to never cast me in a show, and after 6 auditions, she's been true to that. And before anyone says anything rude, its not because I stink, I don't. Ask anyone who's seen me perform.

I'm asking in philosophy, in hopes to get philosophical answers, not religious or non-religious based opinions, regarding my deepening concern about the increasing death & destruction in the world. A historical horror, but is it not greater than it ever was?
I was deeply moved by the first in Christiane Amanpour's series "God's Warriors." The first being Judaism; tomorrow night on Islam, & Thursday--Christianity.
I respect anyone's beliefs or non-beliefs, but I'd like to ask your thoughts about what drives people to murder in the name of their God, to define vengeance as justice, to say that the slaughter of little children is not their will, but their God's will.
What has caused, for example, Jews to kill jews? What part do politics play? The interplay of strategy & power of nations?
How is fear & hatred a factor?
I'd welcome theories or concepts with a sense of humanity, but of course you're free to answer as you will.
Thank you...

I know the British mercantile policy deals in economics and ministers deal in religion. I don't see how they connect though. I have searched on google.com (sorry, yahoo =)) and on yahoo.com (happy now yahoo?) and the much outdated and forgotten but still loveable www.altavista.com
