This is the backside of the Saint John Free Public Library postcard from the early 20th century. Stamp depicts King Edward VII. If someone had told the writer of the note on this card that a hundred and twenty years later people around the world using linked computers would be able to see their message . . . !
Greenpeace activists hand out these "secret message" coffee mugs to Amazon employees outside their offices in Seattle, Washington on September 25, 2014. They were encouraging the company to use its innovation to power the Internet with renewable energy. The mugs, normally look like the one on the left, black . When filled with a hot beverage, they change to white and reveal the Greenpeace message. Photo by Greenpeace
Near the old Dominion Foundry there are a bunch of warehouses slated for demolition. Part of the new West Don Lands development site. Im a bit sad to see this old warehouse come down but a quick peek inside revealed nothing that exciting. One of the strange things about this place is a door that was once the entrance to a business. The doors message is Inverted. It says..
"Dont Let The Bastards Wear You Down"
Update: 2012 - This building is now demolished
My message: "You speak for all of us now...we're standing right behind you! Now I won't have to lie and tell the French people that I'm Canadian!"
(yes, I did that in Paris last year. And yes, I realize that not everybody stands behind the man, and probably never will. But to say "64.6 million of us are standing right behind you, and hopefully those McCain supporters will come around eventually" kind of dilutes the message, don't you think?)
I dictated a message to Lauren, my fiancee.
Me: "Message Lauren: Hi honey, do you have any idea what you want for dinner? I love you."
Siri: "OK, I'll send it."
(Siri transcribed the note perfectly, including the punctation which I specified as "question-mark" and so forth.)
just found this one back om my phone :)
it's me, my mom and my sister together in bed ^^
i'm on my way to gent atm, so my 366-shot will be uploaded tomorrow!
13 juin 2009 - Ambassade d'Iran - Paris - France
Ce matin, 13 juillet 2009, à 6h, le Collectif des Amis de l’Iran Démocratique a souhaité dénoncer le caractère inique du régime d’Amahdinejad par une action symbolique aux abords de l’Ambassade de la République Islamique d’Iran.
Une vaste banderole a été déployée au sommet d’un immeuble voisinant l’Ambassade avec le message suivant : « Des dizaines de morts, des milliers de blessés, des milliers de prisonniers politiques, voici la légitimité du gouvernement d’Ahmadinejad ».
En fond de ce texte nous avons souhaité reproduire le portrait de Neda, cette jeune iranienne abattue d’une balle en pleine rue et dont la mort révoltante entre les bras de son professeur de musique est le symbole de ce que nous ne voulons plus voir arriver en Iran !
Des fraudes massives lors de l’élection présidentielle !
Le président iranien sortant, Ahmadinejad, affiche un score de 69 % aux élections, loin devant ses adversaires, en dépit de toute vraisemblance : dans tout le pays les scores sont similaires, y compris dans les fiefs traditionnellement acquis aux réformateurs.
Nous demandons l’organisation de nouvelles élections en Iran en respectant le principe démocratique !
Des centaines d’arrestations, d’innombrables blessés et plusieurs morts lors des manifestations qui ont accueilli les résultats des élections !
Alors que la population était descendue manifester son mécontentement de façon pacifique, les milices armées basidjis et les forces de l’ordre ont réprimé violemment ces rassemblements. Plusieurs morts sont à déplorer parmi les étudiants de l’université de Téhéran surpris dans leur dortoir et parmi les manifestants, tués par balle dans les rues.
De très nombreuses personnes ont par ailleurs été arrêtées et conduites à la prison d’Evin.
Pas plus tard que tard que ce matin on enterrait le corps percé d’une balle de Sohrab Arabi, 19 ans, disparu au cours des manifestations et rendu à sa famille 27 jours plus tard ; et très récemment c’est Clotilde Reiss, une jeune française qui s’est retrouvée accusée d’espionnage après avoir assisté aux manifestations.
Nous demandons la libération inconditionnelle de tous les détenus d’opinion et participants aux manifestations ainsi que l’arrêt immédiat des arrestations arbitraires, de l’usage de la force et de la torture :
Une censure des médias internationaux, le filtrage et la surveillance accrus des internautes iraniens !
Lors des manifestations qui ont amené des centaines de milliers d’iraniens à manifester dans les rues, les grands médias internationaux ont été assignés à résidence afin que nul ne puisse témoigner de l’ampleur du mécontentement d’une population prise en otage par un régime dictatorial qu’elle souhaite dépasser pour se tourner vers un avenir libre et démocratique. Un fort ralentissement d’internet, plusieurs sites rendus impossibles d’accès et un contrôle étroit des communications des iraniens témoignent de la censure dont sont victimes les internautes iraniens.
Nous demandons la liberté de circuler, d’informer et de s’exprimer pour les journalistes étrangers et iraniens et pour l’ensemble de la population iranienne !
NOUS SOUHAITONS UN IRAN DEMOCRATIQUE, LIBRE DE S’EXPRIMER ET DE DETERMINER SON AVENIR !

امروز 13 ژوییه 2009، ساعت 6 صبح، «جمعیت دوستان
ایران دموکراتیک» حرکتی نمادین را در تقبیح شخصیت شریر رژیم احمدینژاد، در جوار
ساختمان سفارت جمهوری اسلامی ایران در پاریس ترتیب دادند.
پارچه نوشتی بزرگ از سقف ساختمانی در همسایگی
سفارت آویزان شد. پیغام روی پارچه چنین است:
دهها کشته
هزاران زخمی
هزاران زندانی سیاسی
این است مشروعیت دولت احمدینژاد
در حاشیه این پارچه تصویر «ندا» را چاپ کردیم؛
دختر جوان ایرانی که به ضرب گلوله در خیابان و در روز روشن در میان دستان استاد
موسیقیاش از پا درآمد و قربانی رفتاری شد که ما توقف آن را آرزومندیم.
تقلب گسترده در انتخابات ریاست جمهوری
رییس جمهور منتخب جمهوری اسلامی ایران، احمدینژاد
با رای 63 درصدی و با فاصلهای بسیار زیاد از رقبا، پیروز انتخابات اعلام شد. بر
خلاف تمامی احتمالات و پیشبینیها، نسبت آراء وی در تمام کشور، حتی در شهرهایی که
به طور سنتی رای به اصلاحطلبان میدادند، برابر بود.
ما خواستار برگزاری
انتخابات مجدد در ایران، با احترام به اصول دموکراتیک هستیم.
صدها دستگیری، بیشمار
زخمی و چندین کشته، حاصل تظاهرات اعتراضی به نتایج انتخابات!
در مقابله با اعتراضات مسالمت آمیز مردمی که
برای ابراز نا رضایتی به خیابان ریخته بودند، شبه نظامیان مسلح بسیجی و پلیس ضد
شورش دست به سرکوب گسترده زدند.
جای تاسف است که کشتهشدگان دانشجویانی هستند که
شبانگاه در خوابگاههای خود غافلگیر شدند و همچنین مردم عادی معترضی که در کوچه و
خیابان مورد اصابت گلوله قرار گرفتند.
ضمنن، تعداد بالایی دستگیر شدند و به زندان اوین
و یا مکانهای دیگر انتقال یافتند.
به تازهگی «کلوتیلد رایس» دختر جوان فرانسوی که
در تظاهرات شرکت داشته دستگیر و با اتهام جاسوسی مواجه شده است.
ما خواستار آزادی بی قید
و شرط تمامی زندانیان عقیدتی و شرکت کنندگان در تظاهراتها و همچنین توقف هرچه
سریعتر موج دستگیریهای خودسرانه و استفاده از زور و شکنجه هستیم.
سانسورِ رسانههای
بین المللی، فیلترینگ اینترنت و پیگرد کاربران آن
پس از اعتراضات صدها هزار نفری مردم ایران و تظاهرات
خیابانی آنان، تمامی رسانههای بزرگ بینالمللی از ترک دفتر کار خود منع و از
ادامه بازتاب نارضایتی ملت ناتوان شدند. ملتی که توسط رژیمی دیکتاتوری به گروگان
گرفته شدهاند. ملتی که خواستهشان برداشتن گامی به سوی آیندهای آزاد و دموکراتیک
بود.
کاهش شدید سرعت اینترنت، دسترسی به سایتهای
فراوانی را غیر ممکن کرد و کاربران خبررسان ایرانی قربانیان کنترل و اعمال محدودیتهای
شدید ارتباطی شدند.
ما خواستار آزادی
فعالیت، اطلاع رسانی و اظهار نظر برای خبرنگاران خارجی و ایرانی و همهی ملت ایران
هستیم.
با آرزوی ایرانی دموکراتیک، آزاد برای اظهار نظر
و رقم زدن آیندهاش.

It's HOT out! But that doesn't mean you should have to break a sweat in your Cadillac. I invested some time into making that a reality once again for this car.
This car was "retrofitted" to R134a in 2004. From the time that I owned it, performance was forgivable until the outside temperature got into the mid 80s and above, or parking in the sun for an extended period of time. Basically it exhibited all of the flaws of a converted car. When it was really hot out, the AC was a bad joke, especially when driving slowly. After exhausting everything else, the only choice was to go back to R12.
I had never done any real AC work besides the occasional charge with a can until the air coming out "felt good." I wanted to have an AC shop do everything, but no one in my area does anything with R12 anymore. I was definitely nervous, as, despite it sucking, the 134 system didn't leak at all. I found that it really wasn't that bad, and I would do it again if I had to.
This is what everything looked like before I started. The compressor was changed in 1991...R4's are not known to live that long so it was definitely going to be replaced. I bought an ancient but new Harrison 200 on Ebay some years ago in preparation for this. Here it is getting ready oiled and ready to spin for the first time in decades! Hopefully it will hold up.
At some point the evaporator core was replaced, evidenced by the black goop sealing the box. I wasn't sure of it's condition so I was going to replace it too (it wan't in bad shape and was probably a waste to anyone who might be considering undertaking something like this). I'm glad I did it because the way the box was sealed really wasn't the best and was probably sacrificing some efficiency. I didn't take any pictures of the box itself, but the sealant that was used was a nightmare to remove completely. This was really the worst part of the job, as whoever did it last must have bought stock in the sealant company. Even the drain was filled full of the stuff
So I'm not sure how exactly it was draining before (it did drain though, no standing condensate) There is a bolt that holds the bottom of the HVAC box to the firewall, just about where the passenger's left foot would rest that goes behind the carpet, through to the engine bay. This bolt was missing, and the box was surprisingly...you guessed it, glued to the firewall with about a 1/2 tube of sealant! I was able to find a nut and bolt that was appropriate to hold the box as it was designed to. While I was behind the carpet, I also noticed this.
This rubber plug has 3 vacuum lines running through it. Mine was loose, so much so that if one shined a light at the firewall from under the hood it would come through the car. It was a bitch to get a grasp on and seat back into position. I had no idea that it was there, much less that it was loose and causing an air leak into the car right by one of the manifold-to-Y pipes. I only mention this because I told my buddy about it who owns a 1985 car and his was just kinda dangling there like mine was. Worth looking at if you own a car of this era. I had to use two pair of tiny needlenose to put enough power on it to pop it back in.
There was nothing really wrong with the lines or condenser, so they would be flushed out, 134a-dapters removed, mineral oiled and put back into service. At an HVAC pro's recommendation, I used RX11 AC flush. Nasty stuff, but did a great job. It is really important to get the 134a oil out of the system, along with any garbage that may have accumulated over the years. My job was made easier by tons of green dye that was in the system.
The orifice tube is supposed to collect physical contaminants. They really shouldn't be that dirty, provided you're not working with a car that had a blown compressor. No idea how old this tube was, but it was not bad.
Once I had the system flushed, I put everything back together using one of those AC o-ring kits. My mechanic checked it for leaks, and then vacuumed it down. Finally I was ready to charge! I was excited, and regrettably forgot to take pictures of the process (I even bought a gauge set). Anyway, the only one more excited than me was the car!
Can you see the cold?
Vent temps are in the mid 40's around town, NYC. Figure 90 +/- 5 and very humid. On the highway, I've seen as low as 37, but no lower. Of note, these measurements were taken from the center vents using a digital temp sensor, not a vent thermometer. Regardless, of the vent temp, the car itself is actually cool inside which is something I remember about R12 that even newer cars that have much more consistent performance seem to lack. Ice coming out of the vents, but you have to be in the airflow to actually be cool. Not so anymore. I'm so pleased with this, and kinda shocked that it worked! To anyone contemplating AC work, I recommend watching this guy's videos, especially this one

It helped me out a lot (read: gave me confidence to tear into an air conditioning system) I'll be back with an unrelated update sometime soon, and I don't mean 3 months soon like last time!

It is nearly eight days since the horrific mosque shootings in Christchurch and it has been a difficult week. 50 people died in two locations in the city.
Photography has not been a major focus, and if it wasn't for the fact that I am into my fourth year of a "photo a day" project I would have put the camera away for a few days.
We took our grandson Ethan to his children's cricket game this morning at his home ground of Edgar McIntosh Park, and beside the field were a lot of chalk drawn messages, all on the footpath apart from a couple on the rear wall of the Papanui Bowling Club building, and presumably from school children sometime during the week.
