One thing I particularly hate about Windows Vista is the very frequent updates (which should be a good thing) which, without knowing before installing, really often require a system restart (which is an annoying thing) that then often take up to 10-15min to watch the "Installing don't shut down the computer."
Vista looks nice, but I want XP back!
Holly (right), next to her brother Jerry Lee (left), was adopted in
2005...looks like she is quite the spoiled dog!
After putting on enough weight, learning to trust people again and losing her fear of so much, become ready to play and learning to go to daycare and mix with lots of other dogs and people, Charlotte has found her forever home where she will be loved, spoiled and will have no more worries. Thank you all for your kind words and wishes for her.
I have not been posting a lot lately.
So here is a short update: I made through my exam and am studying for the final "oral exam" next week. If everything goes well there, I finally will be a lawyer!
So wish me luck!!
Two old towel rails become a necktie display. The top left were my earliest ones. Top right are a Chinese scenic design I adore (anyone have more information on "Giant Panda" ties?) and an ugly 1970s one I found (by "Kanaka Tie," Hawaii). Bottom are ties I wear frequently; many are Robert Talbott "Best of Class."
These are lit by a spotlight containing a pure-white LED bulb. I started with the usual warm-white, but encountered a small problem: many of the Robert Talbott ties contain multiple colors. Some of the gold ones have small bits of blue or violet. Blue ties often have small gold bits. A pure-white bulb makes sure all the colors show.
Below is a vintage fountain, not yet filled. A hanging lamp above shines directly on it. The spotlight for the ties had to be moved, so that the hanging lamp (which has a boxy, conical metal shade) wouldn't cast a shadow.
(UPDATE as of September 26th, 2019 : I'm having troubles with Flickr displaying my photos in low quality since today. My photos were uploaded in 1000x667 resolution until now and they were always displayed with the quality I intended them to have. It's not the case anymore, and the only way I have found to solve this problem is to upload larger files : you can now enjoy the new photos I'll upload in 3000x2000 resolution. For the personal use I have of my albums it's not what will be the best, but seeing the quality of my shots dropping this low was a shame!)
