Arts & Humanities - 16 December 2007

I have been taking pictures for a while now. As I begin to get serious with the art, I have to get serious with the software as well. Last night I did my first photoshoot consisting of entirely RAW photos. However, I find that RAW is a major pain to work with. I cant see thumbnails, the files are huge, and I'm not sure whether to use the RAW editing window that opens up when I open a RAW (.ORF) in photoshop cs3 or just using the normal editing workspace. So my question to you is: Is RAW really worth the extra hassle and memory? After all, I don't really see any noticeable differences between my RAW's and my JPEG's...

that maybe, just maybe...we'd all treat each other better because we'd realize that it's really just us here...and we're all we have?

I've seen it happen time and time again during disasters and tragedies...humans are at their best when it seems like "God has left the building". It's the only time I see us put down our defenses and predjudices and really offer ourselves to the next guy. It's the only time I see us act like we're all in this together, and it's sad that it has to LITERALLY be true for this to happen.

I am obviously not a poet but I challenge you to compose your own ode to your bug nemesis. This is mine:



roaches used to scare me
their fat bulbous bodies
yes, fat ones, larger than a spider
wider than your thumb
until i killed one
and then another
then it became fun
to step on them slowly
hear that wonderful splat,
even go in search of them
and watch the neighboring ants
come out for a great feast
I was doing the ants a favor
and grateful creatures that they are
they cleaned up the mess
well, most of the mess,
but they didn't have a taste for the legs
I left that to the wind
and time
but now i'm out of practice
Haven't seen the creatures in a while
And if they ventured
over my kitchen tile
I'de yell "Mommy!" and run a mile.

Isn't it amazing?
How could this example of something so perfectly structured for it's function develop by coincidence?

This tiny perfect species alone proves Something or Someone knew about this before it was even created.. ie. God.

...young boy and girl run away, with the intent on eloping and getting married; on the way, the bride is forcedly abducted, and taken down to Hell. The boy encounters a strange group of accursed people, including a cryptically scarred cop, as he attempts to brave the fires of Hell itself, in order to save his betrothed...

...refresh my memory; what is this???

Why were trenches created in the first place? Wikipedia states:

Trench warfare arose when there was a revolution in firepower without similar advances in mobility and communications.

Does this mean that the Germans had further technological advantages as they had tanks long before the British?
