Comment on Chopra Centre 21-Day Meditation Challenge by Melissa Maples

Indeed, but obviously I’m not going to write 3,600 posts to address each of you separately. If I address you as a group, I’m sure each of you is smart enough to work out that the word “you” can be either singular or plural in English. Or at least that’s what I thought – perhaps I assume too readily.

Is there anything about the meditation you’d like to discuss, or have you just come here to troll because you have nothing better to do? I’m kind of done with it.

But each of us who reads this is not reading on behalf of 3,600 people – just themselves.

Good luck explaining that logic to the 3,600 other readers!

Comment on Scanning negatives the cheapy lo-fi way by Melissa Maples

Melissa Maples — Sat, 21 Aug 2010 07:28:00 +0000

Yeah, that sounds right – how high is your resolution? Pump your resolution up as high as possible so the negative is huge when scanned, then crop the image to the edge of the negative (or wherever you want) and invert the image colours (i.e. make a negative of a negative). Then thing should start looking more reasonable, and you’ll see what you need to do next in terms of upping the brightness or adjusting colours or whatever. Good luck!

I tried this a few times but the scanner keeps taking an image of my phone with the negative on my phone screen, not sure if this is supposed to happen..it looks cool though lol

Wow that's the kind of review all restaurants should strive to get! And if I ever make it over there, that's good enough for me, I'd be there like a shot…

Having lived in one of these tourist areas I understand what you are saying. But the other thought is, the people who are complaining, came to these places on holiday, loved it so much they bought a villa ..oh and then guess what, they couldn't sleep because of the noise from the bar on the corner. Just a thought:)

Hmmm I might upload all mine to someplace too – spent ages scanning old photo album pages, seems a shame to leave them languishing on a hard drive…

I'm not sure there are any attachable lenses for the Smena-6…. i.e. it's not like a Holga. But that shouldn't stop you from trying.

Can't wait to see your photos!

Oh, we've had the rain too! Check it out: http://www.flickr.com/photos/melissamaples/arch...

It's wonderful! So much nicer than being stuck inside all day, running up the electricity bill with the A/C. At least I can go outside without melting into a puddle of sweat and losing the will to live.

Comment on Tomato dessert by jenhattam

The restaurant Çiya in Istanbul (which serves a lot of unusual dishes from around Anatolia) has a tomato dessert as well as a pumpkin one, a whole candied walnut one, etc. I hate tomatoes, so I've never tried that one, but the others are delicious

Comment on Safety equipment, schmafety equipment by Paul Reed

Paul Reed — Sat, 19 Jun 2010 04:47:05 +0000

People would be more cautious, true. You would have to eliminate the ability of people to file lawsuits, which kind of sounds good in a way too. The problem is it used to be this way and corporations could disregard concern for the worker or anyone else for that matter in pursuit of profits. Over time, laws have been made to hold them responsible and they find they need more insurance for when they are at fault. Insurance companies demand they have safety measures, policies, and procedures in place in order to provide them insurance at a rate they can afford. The government is usually motivated to increase safety by impacts to the health care system for uninsured people. It does seem to go overboard at times. Probably needs to be reined in a little, but not done away with completely like some countries where you are on your own. Or maybe I am 100% wrong….”Safety Shmafety…Who needs it!”
