nhìn thì biết, grap khá là bất quy tắc nên khỏi bắt lỗi nhé =))
these are my grandfather's text books from High School. Some things don't change, like the Physical World or Physics [blue book], but that top book...it's called Problems of American Democracy. i won't get political here...i'll just say it's an interesting read. :) btw, my Pa-Pa's signature is on the front page beside the date "1940". I miss him.

fourth in le month of march project.
sorry for no photograph yesterday, unfortunately, my computer crashed and so now it is in the shoppe.. hoping it will be fixed. i'm going to need to transfer my tens-of-thousands of photographs onto an external hard-drive when i get it back. eek.
i took photos today anyways, right before the storm hit.
but, for now, just a beautiful quote from the ever-favorite john green
i'm going to fix all these scanography-scratches when i get my computer+photoshop back. this was a messed-up text strip from class a while back. i liked it.

Manuscript title: Silver Book of the Land
Manuscript summary: On 86 leaves of parchment, the Silver Book of the Land contains the statutes of the entire region of Appenzell. It is an assemblage of older legal texts; at a later time more recent statutes were added to it. Following the division of the region of Appenzell that took place in 1597, the book became the property of the Canton of Appenzell Innerrhoden and remained valid into the 19th century. Rich decorations consisting of miniatures and initials indicate the great importance attributed to this volume.
Origin: Appenzell (Switzerland)
Period: 16th century
Image source: Appenzell, Landesarchiv Appenzell Innerrhoden, E.10.02.01.01: Silver Book of the Land (www.e-codices.unifr.ch/en/list/one/laai/E-10-02-01-01)
had a few minutes to play with some of the stuff I learned in Kim Klassen's Skinny Mini eCourse - really thinking about how much time we probably all take to get it "just right" :)

i quite often have to remind myself that quitting my job won't be the answer to all my problems (even though i sometimes convince myself it would).
Wallpaper 1920x1200 | I created an imaginary cover for a book I love: »The Flowers of Evil« by Charles Baudelaire.
Typeface in use:
Maximiliano Sproviero’s (LIÁN TYPES) charming, breathtaking beauty »Reina«.
Reina Reina is Sproviero’s didone of the year. We recommend seeing its »user guide.
Inspired in the sweet letters of calligraphy and typography masters of our past; such as Didot, Bodoni and the incredible Herb Lubalin, its aim was to incorporate the decorative accolades from blackletter and copperplate styles of calligraphy into a Modern Roman typeface.
Reina reflects sovereignty due to the enveloping atmosphere and the sensation of greatness that can be felt when using it. It has an unique way of standing over paper and screen, being its swashes responsible of an extreme elegance.
Similar to what Lian did in his last font Breathe, Reina was designed to be playful yet formal: While none of its alternates are activated it can be useful for short to medium length texts; and when the user chooses to make use of its open-type decorative glyphs, it can be useful for headlines with dazzling results.
TECHNICAL
Reina is a family with many members. In order to achieve better results when printing, Lian took his time to design the necessary styles: Reina 72 Pro, prepared for display sizes; Reina 36 Pro, for medium sizes; and Reina 12 Pro, the best for text or decorative words in small size.
Each of these members have variants inside, which are open-type programmed: The user decides which glyph to alternate, equalizing the amount of decoration wanted.
Reina Engraved Pro has the same features than the variants mentioned above.
The family also contains variants which were made exclusively for decoration. These are: Reina Words, a set of the most common words used in english, german, italian, french and spanish; Reina Capitals, which consists in a big set of ornamented capitals; and Reina Fleurons, those little friends which always help to embellish our work by combining them in the way the we want to.

if I had given a new year's resolution this would be it; make it happen
New year's eve was awesome. My friend Sara had made the most delicious 3 course dinner and the 6 of us ate until we couldn't move. At midnight we went to the town's square to watch fireworks. It was so cold but totally worth it.
I'm so excited about the new year! 2009 was my best year so far and I'm convinced 2010 will be even better. There's a lot of changes coming but I just look forward to them. bring it on!

Happy Singles Awareness Day! (yes Virginia, there is such a thing)
www.ajc.com/news/lifestyles/holiday/valentines-day-single...
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singles_Awareness_Day
Singles Awareness (or Appreciation) Day" (S.A.D.) is a holiday celebrated by single people. It serves as a complement to Valentine's Day for people who are single, that is, not involved in a romantic relationship.
On Singles Awareness Day, single people gather to celebrate or to commiserate in their single status. Some want to remind romantic couples that they don't need to be in a relationship to celebrate life.

this is stress-relief. it's true, what they say. art never comes from happiness. right now, i'm unhappy.
i'm confused, and unsure, and i may or may not lose my best friend, depending on which i may or may not lose the boy i love. i don't want to have to think. i don't want to have to exist. i don't want to just be.
i wish you could take a break from life, every now and again. god knows i'd be gone loads. but then again, so would everyone else.

I got this (not) lovely comment on one of my images on Flick today:
"Too bad we can't use it. Oh, well. There are more and better out there from people who allow their photos for public use."
if you are a photographer giving your images away for free you are enabling ungrateful pieces of poo like this guy, if your work is good enough to be used for free it's good enough to be paid for! #paytheartist

Thanks to fellow user Lex-O I'm now fully aware of what's going on, and here's my protest.
In case you guys don't know what's going to happen, here's the text I found on his page.

The following description was taken from a fellow Flickr user (www.flickr.com/photos/timelessriver/).
"BELOW ARE INFORMATIVE COMMENTS FROM OTHERS ABOUT FLICKR BLACK DAY:
Join in the protest against the new layout of flickr.com. Download a Flickr Black Day image and post only the black day "image" to your photostream on December 8, 2013.
PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION:
This petition against flickr's changes needs 10,000 signatures. it already has nearly 5,000.
Please sign it:
petitions.moveon.org/sign/change-flickr-back?source=s.em....
********************************************************************** ************
This is a symbolic mark of protest against the new Beta change which Flickr proposes to force upon all users ..
If you wish to make protest, then please only upload a " Black " picture on the 8th December
*** This is available for download should you wish.
With the new platform Beta Team Flickr intend to make further changes that will limit severely the exchanges between users:
1 - There will be no white space below the photo for description, comments or invitations to groups
2 - Difficult to write a comment that contains more than 3 words
3 - We can not see who supports our pics
4 - We can not see in which groups the photo appears
5 - The images of the award will not be visible
6 - The visits will no longer be visible. The latter will only appear in Recent Activity, others will be lost.
7 - For Admin it will become impossible to manage groups so many will close.
8 - Our descriptions, including quotes, links to YouTube or other sites will be hidden
( translated from Italian )
Changes should not delete/destroy/ruin the very factors which caused us to join flickr in the first place ...
Example of page showing how the Beta Flickr shall be.... in first comment.

********************************************************************** **************
"Yahoo has new ideas. flickr is offering 1 TB free space for all accounts. Those who want to be rid of advertisements have to pay.
I appeal you all those who plan to quit, to change your mind and stay. You can make use of your accounts just for storage. Make your accounts private, make this image public and use flickr for storage. You can save on external hard disks.
If we check in to a hotel room seeing it's features, should we bear it without a word of protest if they take away the furniture one by one including the bed ? flickr should know that the people who protest are not against 'changes'.
Changes shouldn't steal away the utilities that made people choose flickr.
Protest ! flickr is not just the property of few people who get paid to serve the people that make it. If they offer 1 TB free space for every account, the salaried people who planned it have advertisements in mind. Many unique special utilities made people like you and me join flickr, and flickr is taking away all what that made us choose it. Now the only special thing in flickr is 1 TB free storage. Let's then make use of it, without caring about flickr's revenue. We can seek better places for what we like, still keep this place for storage. If the 'hotel' stinks and cheated us, make it your warehouse or sty. If this is forced on us, you can make your account private, store everything here; display , share and comment elsewhere.
Thank you.
Anuj Nair"

Users of the English version of Flickr may have got the botton " try our new experience Beta"
This is an incredible regression .....once again
No longer any white space underneath pictures for comments, description, invitations etc....
Everything is gathered in a tiny sidebar to the right of the photo in the Lightbox
All features that allow interaction and sharing have gone so groups might also disappear ......
You may take a look here
yahoo.uservoice.com/forums/224533-flickr-photo-page-beta
If you want to save the groups from a certain death, Please click this blue link and go to vote
yahoo.uservoice.com/forums/224533-flickr-photo-page-beta/...
We had got used (more or less) the first changes, but this time, it is a
total scuttling of Flickr and of its spirit of sharing :(
We can't see who faved our pictures
We can't see the groups the pictures appear in ( except only 8)
Awards images. are not shown
Invitations are not visible except for the last ones (only in "Recent Activity").They're lost.
For admins group management will become a work more and more difficult or even impossible
Groups might close......and groups add visibility to our pictures
Our descriptions including quotes or links to YouTube or other sites are hidden
NO LONGER ANY CONVIVIALITY.. ANY VISIBILITY . NO SENSE
*I specify for those who haven't seen the Beta page;that there is NO
white area under the pictures for descriptions / comments / invitations /
flickr Award Counter
Only a narrow sidebar to the right of the image ,showing ONLY the last 4 comments
White print on a black and depressive background, that hurts the eyes
Unfortunately everything we can do is absolutely useless ....
Unfortunately it is obvious that Yahoo wants to turn Flickr into another social network for teens and young using only tablets and smartphones and whose only interaction is Hi or Lol
Motivated photographers using computers and large screens are no longer interesting users.... ( nor groups since our invitations are only visible on our "Recent Activity "Page....The oldest are lost ....)
How many people know what represents the Beta Page ?? I wonder ?
Only some users of the English version of Flickr ..... but not all of them
All this is very discouraging
T H A N K Y O U !!!!!!!!!

Did you know that flickr has been testing a new beta version of flickr?
I haven't actually seen the beta page but I've had it described to me:
"...there is NO white area under the pictures for descriptions / comments / invitations / flickr Award Counter
Only a narrow sidebar to the right of the image ,showing ONLY the last 4 comments
White print on a black and depressive background, that hurts the eyes
No sense. Hard to write comments exceeding 2 or 3 words
We can't see who faved our pictures
We can't see the groups the pictures appear in ( except only 8 )
Awards images. are not shown in comments : which means that neither members nor admins can check
Admin-Invitations are not displayed ( the last ones are visible ONLY in "Recent Activity").The oldest are lost
For admins , group management will become a work more and more difficult or even impossible
Some groups might close......and groups add visibility to our pictures
They allow us to admire beautiful works and to meet with great photographers.
Our descriptions including quotes or links to YouTube or other sites are hidden
NO LONGER ANY CONVIVIALITY.. ANY VISIBILITY . NO SENSE
In fact this layout specifically targets tablets and smartphones"
This Sunday December 8 2013 is FLICKR BLACK DAY in order to protest against the upcoming change that will soon be implemented.

_Feedback
Unfortunately everything we can do seems absolutely useless ....
Yahoo and Flickr don't care
Unfortunately it is obvious that Yahoo wants to turn Flickr into another social network for people (mainly teens and young ) using only tablets and smartphones and whose only interaction is Hi or Lol
Motivated photographers still using computers (with photo-softwares) and large screens are no longer desirable customers....
( nor groups since our invitations are only visible on our "Recent Activity "Page....The oldest are lost ....and everything is done to impede their functioning)
Advertising is much much more lucrative than our Pro accounts .......
How many people know what represents the Beta Page ?? I wonder ?
Only some users of the English version of Flickr ..... but not all of them
Users of any other language have not been informed.... amazing No ??
All this is very discouraging
A big special Thank You to Marissa Mayer
Bravo ..You will be be erected a Big / Great / Magnificent / Majestic statue on the ruins of Flickr .... Well deserved

Good morning everyone. Featured for Dragonfly Thursday is the Banded Pennant (Celithemis fasciata), which is one of three species of Pennants found here locally along with the Calico and Halloween Pennants. It's usually the second to appear after Calico Pennants, but before Halloween Pennants that usually appear last. But of the three, the Banded Pennant has the shortest flight season and is normally long gone by late summer.
Banded Pennants are very a small dragonfly at only about 1.3 inches (33 mm) in length. Slightly larger than the smaller Calico, but smaller than the much larger Halloween.
As for these photos, they feature mainly immature males and females. No mature males except in the last photo in the comment section. The above composite features an immature male and female, which look very similar to the casual observer. But while it's never absolute, one of the ways to differentiate the tow is the female is more likely to have clear or partially clear wing tips (as seen above on the right), where as the male seen on the left usually has solid dark wing tips.
I hope you enjoy this short series on one of my favorite dragonflies to photograph and find the text in the comment section informative. As always don't forget to click on "more comments" if you don't see the additional pics and text in the comment section. Or you can scroll to them by clicking on the arrow to the right of the above pic in the field of black. And if you want to view any picture in the field of black or comment section large all you have to do is click on it.
Thank you for stopping by...and I hope you're having a truly nice week.
