Lol who comes up with these monkey aspect ratios?

I've never really felt this compelled to help out. One of my classmates in med school did the entire Appalachian trail with this gentleman before starting med school and said it was unequivocally the best experience of his life. His companion on the trail is making a movie about the trail itself and well, here is the kickstarter page in case you are interested in helping out. Both guys are genuinely good human beings. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/153613343/appalachian-trail-film-the-long-start-to-the-journ *I stand, in no way, to gain anything from your donations. Just trying to spread the word for a bunch of good guys.*

Just kicked the respiratory physiology test's ass. And then class this afternoon got cancelled. Great start to the day.

Lol $17. Did not see that one coming at all. Seriously.

Damnit zach. I wanted to reply first

I just got Julie's girls a samsung chromebook. Was $300 I think. Fits the description of everything you require besides Microsoft office. Similar size and runs everything. Google docs does a fantastic job though in case she doesn't mind spending a few minutes familiarizing herself with it. EDIT - $310 with the 2 year drops and spills warranty. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009LL9VDG/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Dang it. Just found out the new $630 dell 28" 4k screen is not IPS, but a TN display. Guess I have to wait longer for IPS to get below $1000. Got excited too quickly Here it is in case anyone is interested. Not good for gaming for graphic work. 4k resolution is available only at 30Hz. http://www.geek.com/deals-2/geek-deals-630-for-dell-p2815q-28-inch-4k-monitor-1582990/

To those with external monitors with MacBook airs - do you notice any issues with Lightroom/photoshop usage? Can the laptop keep up with the demands of an external monitor? I'm considering a 4k screen.

Braised lamb shank. SO FREAKING AMAZING.

Photobomb level: pro.

I started with season 5. Matt Smith is almost as cool as Benedict Cumberbatch. All other doctors seem too slow. I enjoy fast, witty deliveries. The quantity reference was more for Sherlock than Doctor Who which has "longer" seasons. Hustle had 6 episodes and always left me wanting more. Sherlock takes that to a whole new level by having only 3/season. I wonder if the quality of popular shows like Walking Dead would improve if they didn't have filler episodes that didn't add anything to the story line (ie. the governor. Fuck the governor. Worst segway ever).

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.
