alas, I was very diapointed witht the book about flickr, but one can still take some advises from it,

 

this who are fluent in perl or those who never used flickr, probably will like it better

 

I still think, "hacks" could have been done in javascript or xml or applescript more easy for the "rest of us"

 

As you see, I read also V Wolf's diary (wonderfully interesting) and "Beyond the words from B Goldmann (very usefull) and also yes, Ann Maxxell, whose books generally I like better than this one.

This is an initiative of protest - the sign and the idea are not mine. It is ment to be shared - so feel free to download it. Download: clicking this link: www.flickr.com/photos/hedbavny/11210095124/sizes/o/ will open the picture in the "original size page" where you can download it. The more clicks, favs and comments all these "flickr Black Day pictures" will become the bigger the effect will be.

TEXTO DO ERNANIB:

 

Há o tempo de plantar e o tempo de colher. Todos nós temos presa para viver, nunca de morrer. Temos tempo para a internet, para um amigo, para brincar, para trabalhar, mas nunca temos tempo para parar e ajudar. Temos tempo para ver TV, ler jornais, um bom livro, mas nunca tempo para ler um pedido de ajuda.

Mas há quem não tem mais tempo. Quem não teve tempo de plantar. Quem mal tem tempo para brincar. Quem mal vai ter tempo de dizer: “Eu te amo mamãe, papai!!!”. Porque em algum lugar alguém não teve tempo para parar e ler essa mensagem, para procurar saber do que se tratava, sobre quem se estava falando, de procurar saber como poderia ajudar; já que quem deveria ajudar não acha tempo para isso, porque não acha importante, porque é um investimento que não tem retorno no curto espaço de tempo ou porque acha que seu tempo é valioso demais para gastar com quem não tem tanto tempo de vida assim.

Pare um momento. Procure se informar, ler, ajudar. Quem já conta os segundos para a despedida final vai agradecer de coração por esses poucos instantes de tempo, que você dedicou a elas.

Não deixe que o relógio das vidas delas pare só porque você não queria perder tempo. Ajude!!! Divulge!!! Dê corda nesses pequenos relógios de vida.

_____________________________________________________

There is a time for planting and a time for harvesting. We are all in a hurry to live, not to die.We have time for internet, for friends, for playing, for working and we never have time to stop and help others. We have time for watching TV, reading the papers or a good book but we never have time for reading a message asking for help.

But there are the ones who don’t have any more time to lose. The ones who didn’t have time to plant. That barely have time to play. That won’t have time to say “I love you, mom, dad”. Because someone, somewhere didn’t have time to read this message, to try to know what it means, to try to know how to help. Because many times who could help don’t have the time, because it’s not an investment with short term interest or because thinks its time is too valuable to spend with somenone who doesn’t have that much time.

Stop for a moment.Try to read and get informed. The children that are about to say their goodbyes to life will be thankful for these few moments you took to help them.. Don’t let their life clocks stop just because you didn’t want to waste your time. Help them! Spread the word! Wind up these little life clocks

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Hay momentos para sembrar, y otros para recoger la cosecha. Todos tenemos tiempo para vivir, nunca para morir. Tenemos tiempo para Internet, para un amigo, para jugar, para trabajar, pero nunca tenemos tiempo para detenernos y ayudar. Tenemos tiempo para ver Tele, leer periódicos, un buen libro, pero nunca tiempo para leer un pedido de ayuda.

 

Pero hay quienes ya no tienen más tiempo. Quien no tuvo tiempo para sembrar. Que apenas tiene tiempo para jugar, y que quizás tampoco no va a tener tiempo para decir "Yo te amo mamá! papá!

 

Porque en algún lugar alguien no tuvo tiempo para detenerse a leer este mensaje, para tratar de entender de qué se trataba, de quién se estaba hablando, de entender cómo se podía ayudar; ya que quien debería ajudar no consigue tiempo para esto, porque no lo considera importante, porque es una inversión que no tiene retorno en un corto espacio de tiempo o porque cree que su tiempo es mucho más valioso como para gastarlo con quien no tiene tanto tiempo de vida.

 

Detente un momento. Procura Informarte, leer, ayudar.

 

Quienes cuentan los segundos para la despedida final van agradecer de corazón por ese gesto, por haber leido éstas líneas.

 

No dejes que el reloj de la vida de esas personas pare porque no querías perder tiempo.

  

Ayuda! Divulga! Dale cuerda a esas pequeñas manecillas del reloj de la vida!

  

Carta do Padre Alfredo

Prezado Amigo,a,

Em nome das 39 crianças com AIDS da IBCM e das 250 famílias assistidas, agradeço-lhe de coração.

Obrigado pela sua generosidade. Divulgue a nossa causas e conte sempre com nossa gratidão e reconhecimento.

Feliz Natal!

in the Sicilian city of Randazzo, is Celebrated in mid-August day, hits principal feast of the "living vara" that evokes the mystery of the faith of the Assumption of Mary into Heaven with soul and body, for this reference She is call Mary Assumption; the feast may be originated around the sixteenth century; the "vara" (Sicilian name Refers to "float"), it's a "votive machine" about 20 meters high, made of a structure in iron and wood, decorated with gilding, mirrors, colored coatings, Whose allegorical meaning Seems To have inspirations from the figures reproduced in a painting by John Caniglia of 1548 (you can admire it inside the Crucifix chapel of the Basilica of St. Mary in Randazzo), machine consisting about several plans and rotating, with hand-operated mechanisms, and making reference to the rotation of the heavens of the medieval conception. The first low part of the "machine-float" is the Tomb of Mary, full of flowers, but as She got to the Sky also with Her Body, it's an empty tomb, a bit higher up we find St. Thomas in prayer, still more on we find St. Michael the Archangel with a sword, surrounded by singing Angels; on the highest level it finally takes place the Virgin Mary. Various "young actors", present on float are children of various age, which intone chants turned to Virgin Mary, each with its own role, each surrounded by a iron structures for own security. Up to 1960 different "human figures" were all male, included Maria Assunta; in ancient times the fast of the children was strictly Observed (even now, more for practical reasons to stay on the float, Which for devotional Reasons); in ancient times the float at the end of the procession was always assaulted from the faithful, taking with them the precious souvenirs of the event, considering That like relics; to the end of the 18th century the traditional feast He had a decline, abolished in 1795, then restored in the Second Half of 1800, again suppressed the first in 1911 for the raging cholera, then to the events linked to the First and Second World War, than the feast started again in 1952, at first once every 5 years, then every three years finally annually since 1973. During the trip the children receive from Inhabitants leaning out of windows and balconies, candies, biscuits, sweets of various genre, so this "rain of sweets" shows a more happy and picturesque manifestation, but so the children "are distracted" being from "hanging" in several meters from the soil (likeably who is finding down, he may be "bombarded" by a shower of candies and chocolates).

PS: This report, which I have Made 15 August 2016 in the town of Randazzo, to whom I gave the name of the movie "for love, only for love", I dedicate it to my friend professional nurse Guido, whose its universal love for people and animals was opposed by those who are unable to understand his greatness, has meant that he decided yesterday to get out of life scenes.

 

.....................................

  

nella città siciliana di Randazzo, si celebra nel giorno di Ferragosto 15 agosto, la sua principale festa della "vara vivente" che rievoca il mistero di fede dell'Assunzione di Maria in Cielo sia in anima che in corpo, per questo riferimento viene chiamata Maria Assunta, festa che sembra abbia avuto origine attorno al XVI secolo; la "vara" (nome siciliano riferito al fercolo), è una “macchina votiva” alta circa 20 metri, composta da una struttura in ferro e legno, abbellita da dorature, specchi, rivestimenti colorati, il cui significato allegorico sembra ricalcare i motivi ascensionali riprodotti in un quadro di Giovanni Caniglia del 1548 (dipinto che si può ammirare nella cappella del Crocifisso della basilica di Santa Maria, in Randazzo), macchina costituita da diversi piani sovrapposti ruotanti, con meccanismi azionati a mano, che fanno riferimento alla rotazione dei cieli di concezione medioevale. Alla base della “macchina-vara” c’è il sepolcro di Maria, pieno di fiori ma, poiché Ella è salita in cielo anche col suo corpo, tale sepolcro è vuoto, un po’ più in alto troviamo S.Tommaso in preghiera, ancora più su troviamo S.Michele Arcangelo con in pugno la sua spada, attorniato da Angeli, sul livello più alto infine prende posto la Vergine Maria. Le varie figure, presenti sulla vara sono bimbi di varie età, dai più piccoli ai più grandicelli, che intonano canti rivolti alla Madonna, ognuno col proprio ruolo di figurante, ognuno cinto da una struttura in ferro che lo assicura alla macchina votiva: fino agli anni ’60 i vari personaggi erano tutti di sesso maschile, inclusa Maria Assunta, il digiuno dei bimbi era rigorosamente osservato (anche adesso, più per motivi pratici di permanenza sulla vara, che per motivi devozionali); in passato la vara alla fine della processione veniva presa d’assalto dai fedeli, che letteralmente la spogliavano, portando con se un prezioso ricordo della manifestazione, considerandola al pari di una reliquia; alla fine del 18° secolo la tradizionale festa ebbe un declino, soppressa nel 1795, poi ripristinata nella seconda metà del 1800, nuovamente soppressa prima nel 1911 per l’imperversare del colera, successivamente per le vicende legate alla prima ed alla seconda Guerra Mondiale, la festa riprese vita solamente nel 1952, dapprima una volta ogni 5 anni, poi ogni tre anni, infine annualmente dal 1973. Durante il tragitto i bimbi ricevono dagli abitanti affacciati alle finestre ed ai balconi, caramelle, biscotti, dolciumi di vario genere, che ripongono a mò di bottino dentro delle sacche di tela, delle quali ognuno è fornito, questo da un lato rende ancora più gaia e pittoresca la manifestazione, dall’altro lato i bimbi “vengono distratti” dal trovarsi “appesi” a svariati metri dal suolo (simpaticamente chi si trova sotto, può venire “bombardato” da una pioggia di caramelle e cioccolatini).

P.S. questo report, che ho Realizzato il 15 Agosto 2016 nel paese di Randazzo, al quale ho dato il nome del film "per amore, solo per amore", io lo dedico all'infermiere professionale e mio amico Guido, il cui Amore Universale per le persone e per gli animali, osteggiato da chi è incapace di capirne la sua grandezza, ha fatto si che egli decidesse ieri di uscire dalle scene della vita.

19 décembre 2011 : Illuminati

1. fool in the rain, 2. Country, 3. Soul2Soul_3JUN06 175, 4. Encore!, 5. "Perfecto" Man was part of the Deal, 6. Lady sings the blues., 7. brian's not so old piano, 8. Listen… Can You Feel Music?, 9. FlipFlop Summer Tour 2007, 10. Dean Martin, 11. Sublime Point HDR 4, 12. Vanity Fair 2

 

1. What's your favorite song?

2. Favorite genre of music? (Classical, Jazz, Country, Pop...)

3. Favorite musician (add singer/band to end if necessary)?

4. What was the last song you listened to/are currently listening to?

5. What type of music do you dislike?

6. What instrument do you like to listen to the most?

7. What instrument do you most like to play (or would like to learn)?

8. Where do you go or what do you listen to when you're sad?

9. What was the last concert or musical event you attended (add singer/band to end if necessary)?

10. What concert or musical event do you wish you could have attended? Or a performer you would have loved to have seen live?

11. You and your sweetie, what's your 'song'? If you aren't paired off, what song do you think it might be?

12. What song gets stuck in your head the most? (For good or for bad...)

 

************************************************

1. Fool In the Rain. I can't even fathom how many times I've listened to this song since I first heard it when I was 15.

2. Country, baby. I go through phases with all other genres, but this one has stuck. To paraphrase John Denver, Thank God I'm a country girl.

3. Oh lord. LOVE Tim McGraw. Which most of you already know. My first Tim song, this started it all. Man is HOT.

4. My answer for this is proof of my randomness. The last song I heard, which I listened to on my train ride home tonight, is Encore, by Eminem/50 Cent/ Dr. Dre.

5. Most techno. The pic for this is ironic, b/c I do actually like Paul Oakenfold. And I def had a techno phase in college, but I just can't listen to it anymore. Some of you may get this, lol.

6. A powerful voice. Best instrument there is.

7. Piano. Not sure why, I think just b/c I had to pick one.

8. Nostalgic music. I love grabbing my computer or ipod when I'm in a mood, and listening to old songs that remind me of other parts of my life. Usually an instant mood enhancer.

9. Kenny Chesney's Flip Flop Summer Tour, 2007. That was quite the interesting experience...let's just say that I may be officially too old for day-long tailgating in dirt parking lots in 100 degree heat with no shade.

10. I wish I could have seen Dean Martin perform.

11. Sublime's Marley Medley. It was the first song hubs ever sang to me. (Although we danced to this as our first dance song at our wedding. The Sublime song is more meaningful.)

12. Not sure anyone will know this song...but it's one of my faves: Vanity Fair by Mr. Bungle. The song content is VERY...um...interesting. Something about the melody & his voice just rock. I couldn't find a decent version of this anywhere, so this will have to do.

UP TO eight residential tower blocks once owned by Wirral Council are to be closed.

 

New owners Wirral Partnership Homes says bringing the towers up to standard, coupled with low occupancy rates, means they are no longer viable.

 

The blocks earmarked for the axe over the next one to three years are Melrose, Sandbourne, Thornridge (all Moreton), Flambards (Woodchurch) and Thorsway (Rock Ferry).

 

Five high rise blocks are to be refurbished: Sunningdale (Moreton), Liscard House (Liscard), Brackendale (Woodchurch) and The Towers (Tranmere) with Knowsley Court (Rock Ferry) and Neston Gardens (Birkenhead) being subject to minor remedial work and further review.

        

Council's cabinet member for housing, Cllr GD, said that times have changed and the desire for high rise living has dwindled.

 

"Some of these blocks used to have long waiting lists for tenants. Now they can hardly fill them," he said.
