skubmic scrisse ieri: Non ho mai letto una storia così lunga come questa su flickr... ...
:)! Beh probabilmente ha ragione, perchè quando inizio a scrivere certe volte mi dimentico che flickr è un sito sulla fotografia :)...o meglio ... avevo preparato una foto, una doppia esposizione per Halloween e siccome è stata molto difficile per me realizzarla con la nuova fotocamera, - (specialmente perchè se non scatti in rapida sequenza le due foto tra un tempo di secondi o un minuto, la fotocamera resetta e torna nello scatto singolo :PPPP!! Che?! :(!) - ho pensato che fosse abbastanza per augurarvi Buon Halloween...però nel mentre postavo mi era venuta già l'idea e...ho ceduto, (di sabato capito???!!! born, SuperG :DD!..ignorando la mia regola del "anche per gli occhi è week-end! :)!...scusa Ciccio per aver stressato i tuoi :)))!) e le dita han preso il sopravvento iniziando a viaggiare da sole e insieme allo scatto..e una frase tira l'altra... e...ho scoperto solo dopo di aver scritto troppo :)! ... Infatti mi son chiesta alla fine, se qualcuno mai avesse avuto la pazienza e la voglia di leggere il tutto (come sempre :)!), so che il tempo vola per tutti, ma invece di lasciarla nascosta e tenerla per me, ho premuto salva ed...è andata :)!
Così voglio ringraziarvi qui, per il vostro tempo, perchè è buono per me raffrontarmi con la mia timidezza, stoppare per un secondo, e decidere che è giusto che gli scritti vengan fuori dal cassetto...e condividerli con voi..:)! E sapete bene che ho iniziato qui su flickr proprio grazie al vostro incoraggiamento!
E ancora sapete credevo che i blog fossero più adatti ai teenager o giù di lì, non a me e invece..guarda qui, basta ho scritto troppo...
saltate qui, e leggete solo--->GRAZIE MILLE A TUTTI ! E come dice Mika siete..d'oro :)!

:)!..You're probably right, 'cause when I start writing somethimes I forgot that flickr is about photography :)..or better...I made a shot, a multiple exposure for Halloween and since it was very difficult for me to realize with my new camera, - (especially because if you don't shoot the two images between a really short time like seconds or a minute, the camera reset in normal mode :PPPPP!!!What?!..but for this thanks for warning me SuperG :)))!) - I thought that it was enough to wish you a Happy Halloween... but when uploaded...I starting to have an idea and I finally put hands up (yesss on saturday SuperG :DDD!!!..avoid my rule of "it's for eyes week-end too! :)!" ) and fingers goes alone and along with image and sentence with the next...and discover only after that I wrote too much :)!... Infact I asked myself if somebody would ever read all,(as ever :)!), I know that times fly away for all, but instead to hide and keep this for myself, I press save and ... it goes :).
So thanks to you all, for your time, because is really good for me pass to my shyness, stopping a second but finally decide to story go off drawer and share it with you! :)! And you know that I start here on flickr with your encouragement ! And another step..I start writing for the first time the english version first ! ..so another goal for me!....

Dear Parents
I received a letter from you this morning also a package of paper. I wrote you a letter yesterday, I filled two sheets full of nonsense. You will get plenty of letters from me now for while we lay here and I have nothing to pass away the time with I will write often.
I am glad you got that money alright, for it is a good ways to send it and then are so many accidents happens on the river. I gave Perry Wiseman money to pay the express charges but he did not do it, it would only have cost a dollar if he had, he said he thought that if the money was lost I would not lose the charges.
Our Major returned from the enemy lines with a flag of truce, Albert Goble (?) was with him. He says they are three miles on this side of Clinton. I did not hear what they went for.
I suppose that we will not be paid for sometime now, on account of the burning of the steamer Reuth (?), with two million five hundred thousand dollars on board. It will be no loss to the Government for if lost, they will never have to be redeemed.
If I had known that there would have been furloughs given, I would not have sent those forty dollars home until I found out whether I would get a furlough or not.
I have received and answered _____ letter I also wrote one to Brownburgers yesterday. I have answered all my letters except one to Gray. Ema owes me one yet, and I have never received that letter that George spoke about writing.
I wrote you a letter telling you to make me a couple of shirts and to send by Johnathan Miller, also a handkerchief and a couple pairs of socks. If you have not got them yet I don’t care if they are half cotton, but I want something good and strong.
What in the world makes you write such little short letters, write often and long letters, write anything at all, papers also are always welcome, you can’t imagine how blue it makes a fellow feel to have a mail come and you running almost to break your neck, and have whoever is distributing it ring out “no mail for you”. Then long days are very _______ , but if a fellow gets a mail, why he can dream of the good things at home and those that are near and dear to him, now write long letters, things that appear uninteresting to you will not appear so to me, but will be interesting to me, tell me of the improvements that are going on about town, and if nothing else will do tell me how often father goes down town of a week and what he buys of a Saturday night. I think that after this long lecture that I will get a good long letter.
Our Lieutenant is a little fellow about the size of the famous Bob F. who says that Cr.S. run a Pittsburgh Landing, though he don’t put on so much style. He has old _____ and a contrary hand to cook and wait upon him.
But here I have written a sheet nearly full and I started to write only a few words. Remember the lecture above and write good long letter to Your Son

Charley was learning Burt, a negro, to spell. He asked him what pi spelled, he did not know and Charley asked him what he baked so often, Burt commenced to grin and said Pi back.
the writing is on the wall for this bar/venue which seems to have made itself unpopular with it's neighbours.

On October 30, 2013, I found a small cardboard box amid a stack of larger boxes that put into storage in the basement of my mother’s home in Pretoria, South Africa, about three decades ago. When I pack stuff away, I usually record what's in the box by writing an inventory list on the outside. This one had nothing written on it, so I decided to take it upstairs to investigate. Back in my former bedroom, I opened the box up and found it to contain all manner of military ephemera from my two years compulsory national service in the South African Defence Force (July 1979 - July 1981). A menacing little time capsule from the worst years of my life.

We had a great day there with the whole family. The kids love it… and so do the grown-ups. I had not been since I was a child… anyway. I hope you enjoy the image.

The Central Delta Depot & Museum in Brinkley, Arkansas, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The Central Delta Depot & Museum was built as the Brinkley Union Train Depot in 1912. The depot hosted Rock Island and Cotton Belt passenger trains. Nearly 500 passengers a day passed through Brinkley at the height of rail travel between WWI and WWII.
As the 50's became the 60's those numbers declined. Cotton Belt passenger service ended at Brinkley in 1959. The Rock Island held on until 1967.
A letter writing campaign was started in 1999 to save the depot. Union Pacific, who now owned the depot, and area politicians were petitioned to save the depot and use it as a museum.
In February 2001 Union Pacific deeded the property to the city of Brinkley. The city in turned gave a long-term lease to the Central Delta Historical Society for their museum.
Ground breaking began in May 2001 and by May 2003 the depot was restored and opened as the Central Delta Depot & Museum.
which is why i procrastinated and ended up taking a picture of my handy dandy notebook! (name that tv show)

Paolo wrote me a three page love letter for valentines day, which may seem dumb and pointless to some but to me it meant more than anything. He HATES writing. He's a math kinda guy, so putting words together is not his favorite thing to do. However, I must say he did quite well for being so anti-english.
It was cute, and I was smiling the whole time I read it. I'm more of a sappy romantic than I let on because personally - I think too many girls get caught up in the fantasty of it all, but let's be realistic, how can i NOT love every second of being with him? and how am I NOT supposed to swoon over a three - page - hand - written - in - cursive - letter? jeepers.

Broadway and Embarcadero, Oakland, California • More plaques per landmark @ Heinold's First and Last Chance Saloon, listed by the National Park Service on the National Register of Historic Places on September 1, 2000 (#00001067).
• To the left of Heinolds’ you see a wonderful mural depicting several stages of Jack’s life. To the left you see Jack and Charmian in front of the Winery Cottage welcoming guests to their estate. Then we see him standing at the steering wheel of the Snark. It is followed by an oval which displays the Wolf House as it was days before the fire. Over a view of Jack London Square as seen from the estuary hovering over Jack’s motto: The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. The famous wolf can be seen to the left of the hut Jack lived in during his Alaska years. – From Walter Schweikert's Bay Area Murals.
• Steeped in maritime lore, Jack London Square is one of Oakland’s most identifiable landmarks and a symbol of the city’s history as a seaport. Fronting a natural estuary leading to San Francisco Bay, the site was the heart of Oakland’s port operations, linking the industries of shipping and agriculture. It remains a vibrant working waterfront.
Jack London (January 12, 1876 – November 22, 1916) was an American author who wrote The Call of the Wild, White Fang, and The Sea Wolf along with many other popular books. A pioneer in the then-burgeoning world of commercial magazine fiction, he was one of the first Americans to make a lucrative career exclusively from writing.
In an introduction to a collection of stories, he wrote:
I would rather be ashes than dust!
I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot.
I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet.
The function of man is to live, not to exist.
I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them.
I shall use my time.
Jack London spent much of his boyhood on the waterfront that is now Jack London Square. Here, his youthful adventures as an oyster pirate and sailor inspired stories like The Sea-Wolf. Visit the life sized bronze stature of Jack London standing watch over the waterfront at the foot of Broadway, created by artist Cedric Wentworth.
London made notes for future books while sitting at the tables of Heinold’s First and Last Chance Saloon, built in 1883 from the timbers of a whaling ship. Now a National Literary Landmark, Heinold’s preserves its rustic character from an earlier era when it was frequented by eminent politicians, statesmen, authors, and artists, as well as humble sailors shipping out to sea. Adjacent to Heinold’s, a recreated model of the cabin Jack London lived in during his time spent in the Yukon is available for viewing. – From the website of Jack London Square.
In most of the standard medieval iconographic compositions, St. Mark the Evangelist is presented accompanied by a lion which sometimes is with wings. The lion figure is present presumably because his Gospel emphasizes the royal dignity of Christ, and the lion is the figure representing his royalty. He is shown most of the times seated with a book or pen presenting his character of Evangelist and secretary of St. Peter. In some occasions, only the figure of the Lion, as one of his attributes, is presented.
St. Mark is known as the author of the second Gospel in the New Testament. This Gospel is dedicated to the life of Christ after his baptism, to his death and resurrection, focusing particularly on the last weeks of his life. Tradition says that St. Mark wrote this Gospel receiving the materials directly by St. Peter whilst accompanying him as a secretary on a journey to Rome. He has died in Alexandria where he also founded a church in this city. Several centuries after his death, his body was carried off by Venetian sailors bringing it to Venice where St. Mark became the patron saint of this city which adopts his emblem, the lion, as its own.

Let It Rock was a monthly British music magazine which featured lengthy critical articles, record reviews and features covering a wide spectrum of popular music, including soul, reggae, and blues. Between October 1972 and December 1975, 35 issues of the magazine were published in London. Dave Laing was the founding editor of the magazine, and John Pidgeon took over as editor in October 1973. The reviews editor was Simon Frith, and Charlie Gillett was consultant editor. Music writers David Hepworth and Barney Hoskyns have called Let It Rock influential, and suggested that it was the precursor of such music publications as Q magazine and Mojo.
influential British music publication of the 1970s. …the origins of the magazine in the nascent rock criticism of the era and … its ethos in terms of historical perspective, transatlantic links and the dichotomy between pop and rock. The content of Let It Rock was broad, including soul, jazz, country, and folk. Many of its writers were new to music journalism and several went on to careers in rock writing or the music industry. As reflected in the letters pages, the readership also included some future music writers. Finally, the article discusses the legacy of Let It Rock as an inspiration for music publications of the 1980s and 1990s.
Contributing writers included John Peel, Lester Bangs, Michael Gray, Mick Gold, David Downing, Phil Hardy, and the soul music column was written by Pete Wingfield. The magazine struggled to achieve consistent sales of 20,000 and closed down due to market forces.
Thirty-five issues of the magazine were published between October 1972 and December 1975

In any classroom it is a great asset to have "original" documents. This will get the students excited about learning what took place before during and after the writing of the Declaration of Independence. With original documents, there are a lot of possibilities for teaching, exploring, and learning.
