Currie's general wholesale catalogue for florists, market gardeners and truckers..
Milwaukee, Wis. :Currie Bros.,1907..
This woman faithfully writes letters to those she loves, despite the crippling arthritis in her hands. These hand shots were part of a slide show on the "hands of heaven on earth".
A bunch of shots of a paper that Riccardo and I were working on, after I'd scribbled all over it in one of my editing passes. I primarily took these so I could show my students what I do to the writing of professional co-authors so they don't feel so bad when I scribble all over their work.
and if all of our days are done
why do I fall
I just fall in love with you
I set this as my desktop background and it looks pretty effing spectacular.
This is SOOC. I was going to tweak the colours, but it looks good this way. & I could crop out the window frame at the bottom, but it seemed unnecessary.
I'm pretty chuffed with the focusing too. It was just out my bedroom window one November afternoon. Two months ago today, in fact.
I only have one lecture on a Wednesday, and there was a part of me hoping it would be cancelled due to snow, just so I could have a six day weekend. Basically, a week off. It wasn't, so I had to traipse onto campus. Winter Graduation is taking place, and it felt weird to be watching as, PRESUMING I DON'T FAIL, that'll be us this summer.
Anyway, I'm curled up warm in bed, listening to JCB's The Darling Buds (WHY WON'T THEY RELEASE AN ALBUM?!?!), and contemplating if I should go wash my plates (I really should), read some more of a uni book, listen to a podcasted lecture (I have to do that before tomorrow), write some poetry (I really hate writing poetry and I'm only doing it because it's a set assignment), or stay in bed and read something of my own choosing. I decided to upload to flickr to delay any decision making.
I'm seeing my brother this week. He called me for the first time in months. We talk loads when we're both home, but otherwise he kind of drops off the face of the planet to anyone in the family apart from my Dad, and even he has to track him down sometimes.
It was snowing this morning. By the time I was dressed and ready to go it had stopped, which is probably a good thing as I'd straightened my hair, but it's quite pretty walking out in the snow when you know you have someplace warm to go. (That sentence gives the wrong impression of me. I wouldn't have been upset about how I looked if the snow had frizzed my hair. The only reason I straightened my hair was because I slept on it while it was still a bit damp and it had poofed up like a lion's mane and I felt pressured by general society to at least tame it a little. The easiet way to do that was straightening it. I was actually being lazy when I straightened it and the snow frizzing my hair would have made me roll my eyes rather than be upset about how I looked.)
I think it's a sign that I'm starting to feel the stress of third year that I'm back on flickr. As a teen I used flickr as a way of dealing with my unhappiness and stress from work. Admittedly, I didn't post on flickr a lot last year because it made me think of Ben (still does) and I have no idea why I didn't post more in first year because I absolutely hated where I was living and the people I was living with, but obviously it's work stress that drives me here these days, rather than unhappiness.
I have stuff to do. I should go do it. I just wanted to post this photo because it's pretty gorgeous to me.
*yesterdays photo*
sorry, again....i've been a bit out of taking photos recently: but thats going to change!
last week it was summer...its now completly autumnal. LOVELY :)
Restored ghost signs on a wall in St. Petersburg, Florida. The signs indicated the stores that once occupied the building. These included Ermatinger's exclusive hatters, Hayward's toy shop, and Wisteria Confectionary. The signs revealed when the building next door was torn down, and they were restored in September 2012 by the Hubert Rutland Sr. Family Trust. The sign was originally painted by the Lozo Brothers.
Ermatinger Hat Shop was one of two St. Pete Ermatinger stores. They sold the finest Ecuadorian and Panama hats. The family-run business started in 1842 in New York and moved to the 'Burg in 1910. Their renovating department was one of the most modern in Florida. In fact, H.L. Ermatinger Sr. was awarded $500 for writing the best scientific article on hat renovating in the country.
Hayward's Toy Shop opened on December 17th, 1921. They were known for carrying Mavis Candy and received new games every day. Locals frequented the shop for items such as noisemakers, party favors, Dennison Crepe paper costumes for New Year's and Jack-o-Lanterns for Halloween.
Wisteria Confectionary stayed open from 7am until midnight. The store hosted receptions, tea and card parties, club meetings and even weddings. They served hot chocolate with whipped cream, coffee, mousse, fruit sherbets, hot tea and wafers, fresh orange juice and Better Ice Cream (sold exclusively here). Wisteria changed locations in 1922, when they moved next door.

He aquà el texto original, de puño y letra de Morelos.
José MarÃa Morelos
Sentimientos de la Nación
1º Que la América es libre independiente de España y de toda otra Nación, Gobierno o MonarquÃa, y que asà se sancione, dando al Mundo las razones.
2º Que la Religión Católica sea la única, sin tolerancia de otra.
3º Que todos sus Ministros se sustenten de todos y solos los Diezmos y Primicias, y el Pueblo no tenga que pagar más obvenciones que las de su devoción y ofrenda.
4º Que el Dogma sea sostenido por la JerarquÃa de la Iglesia, que son el Papa, los Obispos y los Curas, porque se debe arrancar toda planta que Dios no plantó: omnis plantatis quam non plantabit Pater meus Celestis cradicabitur. Mat. Cap. XV.
5º Que la SoberanÃa dimana inmediatamente del Pueblo, el que sólo quiere depositarla en el Supremo Congreso Nacional Americano, compuesto de representantes de las Provincias en igualdad de números.
6º Que los Poderes Legislativo, Ejecutivo y Judicial estén divididos en los cuerpos compatibles para ejercerlos.
7º Que funcionarán cuatro años los Vocales turnándose, saliendo los más antiguos, para que ocupen el lugar los nuevos electos.
8º La dotación de los Vocales será una congrua suficiente y no superflua, y no pasará por ahora de 8.000 pesos.
9º Que los empleos sólo los Americanos los obtengan.
10º Que no se admitan extranjeros, si no son Artesanos capaces de instruir, y libres de toda sospecha.
11º Que los Estados mudan costumbres, y por consiguiente la Patria no será del todo libre y nuestra, mientras no se reforme el Gobierno, abatiendo el tiránico, substituyendo el liberal, e igualmente echando fuera de nuestro suelo al enemigo español, que tanto se ha declarado contra (nuestra Patria / esta nación).
12º Que como la buena Ley es superior a todo hombre, las que dicte nuestro Congreso deben ser tales, que obliguen a constancia y patriotismo, moderen la opulencia y la indigencia; y de tal suerte se aumente el jornal del pobre, que mejore sus costumbres, alejando la ignorancia, la rapiña y el hurto.
13º Que las leyes generales comprendan a todos, sin excepción de cuerpos privilegiados; y que éstos sólo lo sean en cuanto al uso de su ministerio.
14º Que para dictar una Ley se haga Junta de Sabios, en el número posible, para que proceda con más acierto y exonere de algunos cargos que pudieran resultarles.
15º Que la Esclavitud se proscriba para siempre, y lo mismo la distinción de Castas, quedando todos iguales, y sólo distinguirá a un Americano de otro el vicio y la virtud.
16º Que nuestros Puertos se franqueen a las Naciones extranjeras amigas, pero que éstas no se internen al Reino, por más amigas que sean, y sólo habrá Puertos señalados para el efecto, prohibiendo el desembarque en todos los demás, señalando el diez por ciento.
17º Que a cada uno se le guarden sus propiedades, y respete en su Casa como en un asilo sagrado, señalando penas a los infractores.
18º Que en la nueva legislación no se admita la tortura.
19º Que en la misma se establezca por Ley Constitucional la celebración del dÃa doce de Diciembre en todos los Pueblos, dedicado a la Patrona de nuestra Libertad, MarÃa SantÃsima de Guadalupe, encargando a todos los Pueblos la devoción mensual.
20º Que las tropas extranjeras, o de otro Reino, no pisen nuestro suelo, y si fuere en ayuda, no estarán donde la Suprema Junta.
21º Que no se hagan expediciones fuera de los lÃmites del Reino, especialmente ultramarinas, pero que no son de esta clase propagar la fe a nuestros hermanos de tierra dentro.
22º Que se quite la infinidad de tributos, pechos e imposiciones que nos agobian, y se señale a cada individuo un cinco por ciento de semillas y demás efectos u otra carga igual de ligera, que no oprima tanto, como la alcabala, el Estanco, el Tributo y otros; pues con esta ligera contribución, y la buena administración de los bienes confiscados al enemigo, podrá llevarse el peso de la Guerra, y honorarios de empleados.
Chilpancingo, 14 septiembre 1813.
José Mª Morelos.
23º Que igualmente se solemnice el dÃa 16 de septiembre, todos los años, como el dÃa Aniversario en que se levantó la Voz de la Independencia, y nuestra Santa Libertad comenzó, pues en ese dÃa fue en el que se desplegaron los labios de la Nación para reclamar sus derechos con Espada en mano para ser oÃda: recordando siempre el mérito del grande Héroe el señor Don Miguel Hidalgo y su compañero Don Ignacio Allende.

Can you read that? If not, it says "You know what? I STILL hate writing statements of purpose. A LOT. For reals, yo. (I wish I had some new shoes.)"
I do, on all counts. Though the shoes thing is a reference to my last foray into purpose statement writing.
Anyway, I am applying to get into this... program. I would tell you more about it, but I am superstitious or weird or stupid enough to think that talking about it will put a hex on the whole damn thing, especially since it is a highly competitive program and the website basically says "We never let anyone in, but we like to take applications so we can laugh at people. Are you still reading this? You're kidding. Okay, well, apply if you want to, but don't say we didn't warn you."
I'm going to take my chances.
If I do get in, I will be moving to a different part of the country come June and never having free time for the next three years. That ought to be fun.
First things first, though. I have to write an insanely brilliant 1,000-word essay about why I am insanely brilliant.
I'll spill more details later when I'm not paranoid that doing so will ruin things. In the meantime, wish me luck.
Also, I guess this isn't really related, but I'm sorry for being generally un-commenty lately. I'll get better about it in a week or so, when I'm not so damned crazy.
journaling.... and photographing.... write a little bit.... snap a couple shots... write a bit... who's ADD?
Graphic of our star, the eight planets and Pluto ( now considered one of several dwarf planets) Scale size and present orbital placement is accurate but distance from the Sun is not to scale.
With the recent success of the Pluto, New Horizons mission probe, we now have close up images and a wealth of data on the planets, Pluto and asteroids ( also see Gallery this collection ).
Launched in 1977, the Voyager missions gave us all our first close-up views of some of the superior planets. Yielding a wealth of data they continue adding to our understanding and at this writing Voyager 1 (V'ger to Trekkies) is the first man made vehicle to enter interstellar space, " the little engine that could".

I'm busy writing a research proposal for an MA thesis. Or, rather, I'm busy taking pictures of my desk when I should be writing my research proposal.

When will we learn our lesson? Our young soldiers are still sent to fight in Afghanistan and Iraq all in the name of democracy.
