Opened in 1973 as a Gold Circle; Gold Circle closed in 1988. Kmart opened in 1989 and closed in December 2014.
You know, if it weren't for the fact that Barbara's Fish Trap in Princeton-by-the-Sea did not take credit cards so we had to replenish our cash supply at the BofA in Half Moon Bay only to spend more cash getting coffee at Downtown Local in Pescadero. tasting wine at Sante Arcangeli Family Wines, and eating a purportedly life changing buttermilk-lemon pie at the Pie Ranch, we would not have gone to the Ritz-Carlton for a drink only to turn around and end up at Cowboy Fishing Co. back in Half Moon Bay where we had the best time ever.
But more about that later.
Please join the campaign, if you do not like the proposed new flickr layout.
You can also make your own picture with the text as seen in this picture ( or of similar nature, but make sure to emphasize the boycott ), in any language of your choice. Please circulate it and remember to upload it on Sunday, January 5, 2014 ( or before, if you know you'll be away on January 5 ).
Thank you. I LOVE FLICKR - JANUARY 5TH 2014 ! ! ! !
***January 5 is 'I Love Flickr Day'. It's a call to BOYCOTT ALL BRANDS AND PRODUCTS THAT ADVERTISE ON YAHOO ! ! ! !****

Greek :
(really thank you Tania my dear friend for your clarification ), I put here
"I love Flickr day - January 5, 2014" .
We might use the word "υποστηρίζω" which means "support" in English...
I 'll try to translate now the text...
Option 1 : "Αγαπώ το Flickr.
Υποστηρίζω την Hμέρα για το Flickr της 5ης Ιανουαρίου 2014.
Οι προτεινόμενες αλλαγές πρόκειται να καταστρέψουν το Flickr.
Εάν η νέα παρουσίαση/εμπειρία εφαρμοστεί χωρίς να δίνεται η
δυνατότητα εναλλακτικής επιλογής, θα αποφασίσω να μποϊκοτάρω
όλες τις μάρκες / προϊόντα που εμφανίζουν διαφημίσεις στη Yahoo
και θα καλέσω τους φίλους και την οικογένειά μου να πράξουν το ίδιο."
.......................................
Another clarification of my friend Tania
Instead of the word "Υποστηριζω", it would fit better the word "Στηρίζω".
So the new phrase is this:
"Στηρίζω την Hμέρα για το Flickr της 5ης Ιανουαρίου 2014."
Option 2 : "Αγαπώ το Flickr.
Στηρίζω την Hμέρα για το Flickr της 5ης Ιανουαρίου 2014.
Οι προτεινόμενες αλλαγές πρόκειται να καταστρέψουν το Flickr.
Εάν η νέα παρουσίαση/εμπειρία εφαρμοστεί χωρίς να δίνεται η

All these translations are made to me, except the Greek and Portuguez that my friends who have made it.
And all were checked, also for my friends to different countries

art created from my photos
The main image began as a brick building wall that was immediately in front of me in a parking lot. It was made of yellow bricks and (I think intentionally) created with sloppy mortar which had oozed out between many of the bricks while some seem to have almost no mortar at all, creating an interesting bas-relief pattern. (If it wasn't intentional, I think I could have done a neater job myself, despite never having laid a brick in my life.)
Yet, by itself, it wasn't terribly interesting, so I gathered some of my other photos & digital art and added textures and colors to individual bricks, but not the mortar. As simple as this seems, it took about three times as long as I anticipated. The most time-consuming part was going back at the end and removing any bits of texture or color from the mortar in an extreme-zoom view.

All images/textures are my own.
That though the radiance which was once so bright be now forever taken from my sight.
Though nothing can bring back the hour of splendor in the grass, glory in the flower.
We will grieve not, rather find strength in what remains behind.

This is an example of a Victorian-era acquaintance card, which was also referred to in the nineteenth century as a flirtation, escort, or invitation card.
The Encyclopedia of Ephemera (New York: Routledge, 2000), p 4, provides this definition: "A novelty variant of the American calling card of the 1870s and 1880s, the acquaintance card was used by the less formal male in approaches to the less formal female. Given also as an 'escort card' or 'invitation card,' the device commonly carried a brief message and a simple illustration.... Flirtatious and fun, the acquaintance card brought levity to what otherwise might have seemed a more formal proposal. A common means of introduction, it was never taken too seriously."
Here's CNN's take on acquaintance or escort cards: "So, may I see you home? In the late 19th century, Americans exchanged cheeky personalized cards to start a romance. Call them the ink-and-paper Tinder. Escort cards helped people find intimacy while breaking the strict conventions of social interaction."
That's the description of a video that appeared on CNN's Great Big Story today (February 12, 2016). The short piece (1:25) uses reproductions of my collection of acquaintance cards (see my complete set on Flickr or the ones I've posted on Ipernity so far) to present The 19th Century Tinder: Welcome to the Racy World of Escort Cards over on YouTube (don't miss my acknowledgement at the end of the video).
For those who may not be familiar with the sometimes naughty Tinder, Wikipedia calls it a "location-based dating and social discovery application (using Facebook) that facilitates communication between mutually interested users, allowing matched users to chat."
So, were acquaintance or escort cards--like the one above--the nineteenth-century equivalent of Tinder, as the video suggests? I don't really think that formally dressed Victorian men and women secretly gave each other cards in order to hook up like we see in the video. Although some of the cards may sound like cheesy pickup lines to modern ears, I think it's more likely that school kids and young adults used them to break the ice, get a laugh, or start a conversation rather than to arrange a tryst.
In reality, acquaintance cards provided a lighthearted and humorous way to parody the more formal exchange of calling cards that took place in Victorian times. Acquaintance cards were sold by the same companies that supplied calling cards, rewards of merit, and advertising trade cards, and they show up alongside these other printed items in the scrapbooks that were popular with women and children in the nineteenth century.
Back to the Yum Yum A La Mode card. Here's how it was advertised in the Argus and Patriot newspaper, Montpelier, Vermont, on September 18, 1878, p. 4. The following text appeared along with the "Yum Yum" illustration:
Boss. Red Hot.
If you want to smile all over your face for six months, just send for the Red Hot Flirtation Cards, 50 for 25 cts. Samples sent for 2 3-ct. stamps. Remember these cards are Red Hot Regular Tearers!! They cannot be beat. We stump everything of the kind. You will laugh till you cry if you send for them. P.O. stamps are better than silver to send in a letter, and are all the same to us. Write your orders plain. Address Marshall & Co., 35 Sudbury St., Boston, Mass.
So what do you think? Was this a "Red Hot Flirtation Card" that Victorians used as a paper-based Tinder?

This is my photo for the 52 in 2017 challenge - #2 - Red. This is a bottle of Arrogant Frog Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot Red that I spotted in hubby's wine rack and thought it fitted the challenge perfectly.
monday 1st february;
well, today you're not going to learn about what i did, you're going to get a rant. a good one (;
anyway, so today i went to college. as you know, my ex bestmate carl and i have fallen out, due to him not being a very good friend i s'pose. beside from that, we were meant to meet at break and he was going to give me my dads USB stick back (which i put music on for carl ages ago) and i was going to give him his shirt. i got a text from him at around 10am, saying he was going to leave my USB on show, outside my classroom, that he hates me and has done for ages and threatening to tell joe things which joe already knows...
with this, (which was quite funny) anna found my USB stick and gave it me later. carl said he didn't want his shirt back cause he would end up burning it anyway, (which is why soon on flickr, you're all going to get a video of me and joe burning it ourselves, woo) and yeah. basically it sounded like his slag of a girlfriend had told him to write it cause the last time i spoke to carl, he was up my arse etc (:
HAPPY TIMES ARE HERE though.
and i'm having nothing to do with any of them. what goes around comes around and when he comes crawling back to me, after she possibly cheats on him for the second time i think... i will just laugh in his face. life is fucking sweet :D

grad present for Clare.
I finished the first two sides of the prototype to mixed personal reviews. As a perfectionist I wanted a spot-on routing match with the perfected lines and the points of the font I chose, but in reality I don’t even have a bit that can get that narrow.
I can either change the font, or live with a “Not-perfectly pointed” font.
My first reaction was to change the font because I wanted perfection… but the more I sat back and thought about it, the more part of me actually liked the font a little twisted and turned. I’m not sure what I am going to do right now…
The more I route the better the technique, so I am very happy this is a prototype- by the time the real work comes I think I’ll know what I want to do!

(It took me blooming hours to create this, so please ask before you copy it).
Xareta es un precioso valle enclavado a los pies de los Pirineos formado por cuatro municipios situados a ambos lados de la frontera. Su nombre significa “tierra arbolada” y estas tierras hacen honor al mismo mostrándonos verdes prados, riachuelos llenos de encanto y frondosos bosques de hayas, robles, castaños y pinos. Pero además, la comarca nos invita a descubrir parajes mágicos, pueblos llenos de historia y leyendas, y antiguas sendas de comerciantes y peregrinos.
Uno de estos pueblos es Ainhoa.
La historia de Ainhoa se remonta hasta su fundación en el siglo XIII por el noble navarro Juan Pérez de Baztán. La localidad fue construida alrededor de uno de los ejes transfronterizos del Camino de Santiago y como vicaría de la Orden Premonstratense del Monasterio de Urdazubi-Urdax. Sin embargo su apariencia actual en la que destaca la arquitectura típica de la zona (con entramados de madera pintados de rojo o verde) corresponde a la reconstrucción que fue llevada a cabo en el siglo XVII tras los destrozos sufridos en la Guerra de los Treinta Años. Gracias a la conservación de esta tipología urbana, Ainhoa está incluida en la lista de “Los pueblos más bellos de Francia”.
Ainhoa se asienta a lo largo de una sola calle jalonada por antiguas y preciosas casas que conviven en perfecta armonía. No hay ninguna construcción moderna que rompa todo su encanto. Dar un paseo por Ainhoa es sinónimo de tranquilidad y belleza absoluta. Su histórica tradición comercial se mantiene viva y algunas pequeñas y coquetas tiendas nos ofrecen productos típicos, regalos y recuerdos. El buen hacer de los restaurantes sumado a la calidad de los productos de la zona convierten a la localidad en un destacado destino gastronómico. Al igual que ocurre en poblaciones cercanas, Ainhoa es un centro de encuentro de artesanos y todos los que nos acercamos tenemos la oportunidad de husmear entre coloridos talleres y preciosas tiendas.
Ainhoa guarda toda su esencia en su única calle que comienza junto a la plaza del frontón y la Iglesia de Notre Dame de L´Assomption. El frontón fue construido en 1849 y durante su historia ha sido testigo de uno de los deportes más arraigados de la zona, la pelota. La iglesia fue construida en el siglo XIII y en ella destaca su torre de planta cuadrada con cuatro pisos. El interior presenta las características típicas de la arquitectura religiosa de la zona: una sola nave, sin pilares, cubierta con madera y unos pisos superiores llamados galerías. La iglesia está considerada Monumento Histórico desde 1996. Está rodeada por un cementerio que conserva estelas discoidales de los siglos XVI-XVIII con motivos solares, elementos geométricos o referencias a los oficios de los difuntos.
El intenso verde del valle de Xareta contrasta con las preciosas casas que están perfectamente alineadas a ambos lados de la calle. Las más destacadas son las llamadas Grachicotena y Gorritia. Las fachadas de las casas más antiguas exhiben inscripciones que sus propietarios originales ordenaron grabar. Algunas de ellas indican el año en que fue construida aunque la más sorprendente hace referencia al origen del capital con la que fue adquirida. Esta se halla sobre el dintel de la Casa Gorritia y completa su texto transmitiendo una curiosa costumbre según la cual la primera generación de herederos de una casa no podía deshacerse de ella salvo en el caso de necesidad extrema.
En Ainhoa también destacan el antiguo lavadero, donde el 23 de Septiembre de 1858, Louis Napoleón Bonaparte y la Emperatriz Eugénie descendieron con su comitiva a la fuente denominada Alhaxurruta para reponer fuerzas.
Ainhoa es un bellísimo pueblo lleno de historia y encanto que te invita dar un paseo, a descubrir su patrimonio o realizar rutas de senderismo disfrutando de la belleza del valle. Cuenta con más de 65 Km de senderos, hay rutas para todos los niveles y algunas de ellas conectan con los pueblos de la comarca y las cuevas de los alrededores.
A la hora de comer podemos disfrutar de la deliciosa gastronomía de la zona en unos restaurantes ubicados en posadas del Siglo XVII. Algunos de ellos cuentan con vistas a los Pirineos y a la comarca de Xareta. “La Maison Oppoca” y “Ohantzea” (la única casa de color azul) son dos preciosos salones de té. En ellos podemos degustar diferentes variedades de té o chocolate casero que se puede acompañar con pastel vasco, tartas y otros dulces.
Merece la pena recorrer despacio la única calle de esta localidad, observando con detenimiento sus casas perfectamente alineadas que forman un paraje de cuento a los pies de los Pirineos.

在日本，有愈來愈多年輕背包客，不靠傳統旅遊指南，而是上網爬文、勤寫筆記，訂作個人私房行程（某次我就當面撞見有日本女生從隨身行囊中抽出一本手帖大小的刊物，一問之下才發現那是她自制的旅遊小冊子）。這種手工講究、規画用心的迷你旅人誌，其實也算是zine的一種表現。像是日前才創刊的「Short Short」，就是一本屬於進階自助旅行者，剛剛好一人份的小旅行zine。第一号特集雖是我們已相當熟悉的台北，但若照實循著路線指示走，反而會開始迷失，慢慢浮現一種奇妙異人感，變成絕佳的文化体驗。
Typesetting: the retrieval of stored letters and the ordering of them according to a language's orthography for visual display.
During much of the letterpress era, movable type was composed by hand for each page.
Cast metal sorts were composited into words and lines of text and tightly bound together to make up a page image called a forme, with all letter faces exactly the same height to form an even surface of type. The forme was mounted in a press, inked, and an impression made on paper.
