For the past several days, I have entered every single Goodreads giveaway that has been listed regardless of the genre. Out of over 2,000 entries, I have won six of them. Maybe it has not been the best use of my time to spend hours perpetually entering contests for free reading material in which I might not even be remotely interested, but I am always up for new things and my current "to-read" list is dwindling.
I could not believe when I heard this on the Olympics last night. Did I hear that correctly? Apparently not. He actually said, nobody wants to hit AT Hooker." But this is what happens when you are only listening in passing and the announcers don't speak clearly. Click on the Media link above or scroll down to view the video.
Police kill naked attacker chewing on man's face in Miami street
Published May 27, 2012 Associated Press
MIAMI – Miami police and witnesses say that an officer on Saturday fatally shot a naked man who was chewing on the face of another man on a downtown causeway off-ramp.
The Miami Herald reports that gunshots were heard at about 2 p.m. on the MacArthur Causeway off-ramp, which is near the newspaper's offices. Witnesses said that a woman saw two men fighting and flagged down a police officer, who came upon a naked man mauling the other man.
I recently upgraded from a Canon Rebel XT to a Nikon D7000. That increased my megapixels to 16.2 and added tons of functionality including a built-in intervalometer. Unfortunately, the automatic exposure bracketing is limited to 2EV stops and three exposures. Of course, until I started researching this week I knew nothing of AEB other than it would take multiple pictures and I could select the best one and delete the other two. But then I learned of HDR photography which uses all of these exposure levels to improve coloring, depth and even out shadows.
