I wasn't looking to publish and sell it on Amazon. It was just something simple for the next classes to use with some tricks for identifying stuff on exams where students just have 30 seconds at each station (approved by the instructors). I wanted something simple that would just work. Had good experiences with Apple products in the past and found a template that did exactly what I was looking to do so started using it. If I were actually going to publish it for anyone outside of the next few medical school classes, I would have paid someone to do the layout/publishing for me so I could put it on my resume. The department didn't want to pay for it and I am doing it entirely on a volunteer basis without getting anything in return so I wasn't inclined to spend the $1000 on an editor either.

So when you want to update the book for a second edition or just make a simple correction, you start all over again from scratch? Excellent. Thanks for your thoughts, Dan.

Chapters are divided into sections and sections into pages. I just had chapters split into pages with each page getting pictures of the part of brain being discussed followed by text about the structure. I wrote it as I edited the pictures, not in the order they will be seen during the lab in January. The old manual had hand drawn structures which don't match what we see in the actual lab so the past 7 months of work need to be redone. Sure I can copy paste individual paragraphs but this is fucking ridiculous. The text boxes can be unlinked but they don't stay unlinked when you try to move the page. I don't see what the issue is with allowing users to unlink temporarily to move pages around and then link it all again. OR JUST FUCKING LET PEOPLE MOVE PAGES AROUND.

Figured out that I need to redo the 200+ page lab manual I made for next years neuroanatomy class because fucking ibooks author doesn't fucking allow you to fucking move fucking pages or fucking copy them to another fucking spot in the fucking book you are fucking writing. What a great fucking idea!!! Fucking FUCK FUCK.

Hardly a fringe sport mikey. It's only second to soccer in terms of popularity and participation when looked at globally.

HeadphoneAddict seriously injured in car accident
crappyjones123 replied to Blutarsky's topic in Off Topic
I say this with the best of intentions. Law schools arent going anywhere. Neither is Duke. Both have been around for a while and will likely continue to do so. I needed surgery in the past and had treatments to undergo for a malignant cancer and I continued going to school because at 22 I thought that was the most important think in my life. Looking back, had I taken the year off like the doctors suggested and then gone back, nothing would be different. Life would continue to go on. My suggestion would be to listen to the surgeon. Do exactly as the doctors say. Don't think about getting delayed a year or two. I'm in medical school right now and if my loans allowed it I would take the year off to get the surgery I need for my knee. Still trying to get a research spot so I can get my knee repaired. In the grand scheme of things, she needs to understand her health comes first. School isn't going anywhere. She has a lifetime ahead of her to make it to whatever academic designation she wishes to end at. She needs to concentrate on getting back to herself first. The same goes for you. Wish you both a speedy recovery. -
Any suggestions for Red wine for a beef stew? Cooked a steak once with wine a long time ago. Didnt like it much. The stew I've had at restaurants I've enjoyed so wanted to give it a try. Something <$50. That being said I don't know how much wine costs. If I can get something good for far less I'll take that.

Maeve O'Boyle's stuff is fantastic. Found her on the Linn 24 bits of xmas promotion. Great stuff.

Never had an issue with imgur. Curious what you think about the camera. The sigma lenses have been top notch for me. The bodies just never had enough steam behind them. -

Hmm...photography isn't art...? http://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/jonathanjonesblog/2014/dec/10/most-expensive-photograph-ever-hackneyed-tasteless Although I must admit that while Lik's work is fantastic, I don't see how that image goes for 6.5MM. That being said, I don't see the value in most of the 5 most expensive photographs ever sold. They seem, kinda lame, IMO. http://shutyouraperture.com/the-top-5-most-expensive-photographs-ever-sold/#.VIkpoIvjP6s #4 is the only one that has impact on me. Slightly like #6 but really don't see what is so special about #2. Seems like anyone with a phone could take that image. #3 looks like a shitty instagram filter was used. -
Learnt some cardiophysiology/pathology. It fucking rocks. The heart is freaking amazing.

The colors are fantastic (very accurate), Al. Are these all straight out of the RX1/RX1R? -
Blocking a highway is quite possibly the dumbest thing anyone protesting can do. I am not against the protests but blocking the highway has resulted in one of my classmates being forced to give birth in her car on Friday (the baby did not survive due to complications at birth) and 3 physicians not being able to get the ER on time, one of whom was a trauma surgeon. Are the protesters assuming responsibility for any lives put in unnecessary danger or those lost as a direct consequence of their actions? While I am not black, I have been on the receiving end of racist remarks and actions on more occasions than I care to count. Given the current climate, there's a very high likelihood of getting arrested at a protest if things get slightly out of hand. Blocking a street where traffic can at least be diverted one thing but blocking a highway is irresponsible regardless of how worthy the cause is. Lives have already been lost and more continue to be lost as a result of some very emotionally charged people acting irresponsibly. The right to peacefully protest is a constitutionally protected one but there is a time and more importantly a place for it. Highways are NOT it.

Got an email back from schiit saying the dac was noisy with the grado gr10 which is not as sensitive as the Jh 16. recommended I cancel the order since it was not the tool for the job. Extremely impressed with their honesty. Will likely buy from them in the future.

School/Gaming Laptop Recommendations
crappyjones123 replied to Voltron's topic in GoRedwings19's Computer Help Hotline
For the absolute newest games, yes, the air would be a crappy gaming machine. For the 15 year old 1.6, 10 year old css and gmod, 4 year old csgo, I doubt one needs a super beefy gfx card. Besides I've played those games (besides robocraft) on a macbook air without issue. Didn't run at 300fps but I got a pretty good 100 - 120 fps. No, I am not baiting anyone into a what fps humans can really see and whether one should bother past 60fps. -

Lol @ "up to 240 minutes." Trying to make 4 hours seem like more than it really is. Real world performance would be what? 2 hours? All three games you mentioned, Al, are available for mac so any consideration for a macbook air? I have run css on it in the past and it runs just fine. I know you mentioned non mac but given that the games are available for mac without any wrappers or emulators and how light the air is, it might be appreciated in the long run. The extra pound or 2 got to be after a while especially if other things are in the backpack. -
After 1750% funding of soapstone to replace ice and the kid wanting to make potato salad, I don't think asking for $12 is a ridiculous proposition. PS. Fuck it. Ordered one. Would likely spend $12 on shipping/paypal fees trying to sell it if it doesn't work out anyways.

15% restocking fee. I'll wait until they end up on the used market I guess.

Would something like this help with not hearing the noise floor on the jh16s? There are times when I can't use my speakers (roommate in the apartment or julie studying nearby) and want to use the jh16s but the output on my desktop is noisy (as expected).

Bleh. Wish there were a way to surprise Julie with them. I guess she will know what her christmas present is. Thanks for the link.
