Let’s say I want to search for photos about the Empire State Building. On Flickr I would just type in this phrase in the Flickr search box.
With Slickr Flickr we use the text parameter and also specify id="" so the search looks across all of Flickr and not just my own Flickr account
So to find photos whose title, description or tag refers to the Empire State Building I use:
slickr-flickr text="Empire State Building" id="" items="10" type="gallery" descriptions="on"

by the Government, only about$6,000,000 is likely to remain outstanding and not be re-turned to the Federal Treasury. This is only about fiveper cent of the amount invested in reclamation work andrepresents an exceedingly small deficit for work of suchlarge scope and wide benefit. Recently I visited a town in the Northwest that is oneof the most prosperous little cities in the United States.Only sixteen years ago there was no town on this site andthe surrounding country was a barren plain producingnothing more valuable than sagebrush. Last yeaf thefreight, passenger and express receipts of the one railroadentering the town totaled more than $3,000,000. This en-tire growth came from the development of a 20,000-acretract through irrigation. What an empire will be createdand what wealth produced as a result of the reclamation ofthe great Columbia River Basin! I do not doubt thatthere are other splendid ways to construct new valuesthrough an outlay of capital andwell-directed energy, but

The time of youth is a period ofexperiment and investigation. It is an era of discoveriesand invention.

It was so inthe automobile industry, which had to feel its way with-out the benefit of established precedents.

y. The fate of Quang-tchu, in his search for the tripod, made a lasting impression uponthose whom he governed with so much wisdom and justice, and it was resolved, in con-sequence, to erect a temple to his manes, on the rock beside the spot where he issupposed to have perished, and to institute an annual festival in commemoration of hisvirtuous example. Feats, and sports, and mock-combats are held upon the water, thepretended object being the recovery of the tripod, for the purpose of placing it in thehall of Quang-tchu; and they are conducted with a bolder spirit than others ofthe kind, from the very general partiality prevailing here for boat-racing, and otheraquatic sports. Long boats terminating in a dragons head, and called long-tchuen,are built for the occasion; and in these, which are gilded and gaily adorned withribands, the tripod, or other prize, is contended for with an emulation often end-ing fatally to the candidate for honour: one calamitous accident, by which some fifty

![This is a photoshop of my hand painting an unfinished oil, waiting for better days, when i can have a studio space , and some money for art supplies. Although I don't believe in aristocracy , i recognize that some kings were wiser than our present governments. For example they were often the best patrons for the arts like the French King Louis XII who recognized Leonardo da Vinci for his gifts and asked for nothing in return. Thanks to this king for the first time in his life Leonardo had the opportunity to devote himself to his beloved science, free from the need to scrounge about for patronage. Today patronage comes mostly from governments to a chosen few. As for those who don't know how to impress and please the jury's , however, there may be many a Leonardo wasting his life away in some bar with a depression from lack of patronage. Some don't believe in patronage but are enjoying the fruits of the hard work of many artists, and scientists, thanks to patronage...

Vérité
"Dans notre culture, le mot « vrai », provient à l’origine de la racine indo-européenne wer signifiant « l’idée de ce à quoi on peut croire ». C’est pourquoi le sens restera toujours très proche de « garantir » et de « garant » (issu de « garir », tombé depuis en désuétude). Le latin verus (vrai), vera (vraiment) d’où découlera veritas (« vérité ») à partir duquel se construiront, entre autres, « véritable », mais aussi « véracité », « vérifier », « véridique », « avérer » et « voire »... L’adjectif français contemporain « vrai », que le langage philosophique pourra ensuite éventuellement transformer en substantif (le « vrai »), résulte, plutôt, d’un dérivé de verus : verax, veracis (« qui dit vrai »). Il signifie ce à quoi on peut donner son adhésion mentale, personnelle et collective, sociale, professionnelle, culturelle, plus ou moins en connaissance de cause, c’est à dire de façon réfléchie, incluant des vérifications et des médiations possibles, et non pas seulement spontanée."

FROM THE MOVIE V for VENDETTA
<a href="http://vforvendetta.warnerbros.com/" rel="noreferrer nofollow">vforvendetta.warnerbros.com/</a>
This Vendetta movie is a European message ? What the two movies have in common may be that they express the itching desire for destruction and reconstruction, in other words revolution, and this clean up of old systems can't be done by others... THAT'S WHY I BELIEVE WHATEVER WAS OR IS WRONG IN ANOTHER COUNTRY THE U.S. and CANADA HAS NO RIGHT TO GO AND INTERFERE...(FURTHER MORE, IT'S MOTIVES ARE SELF-INTEREST ALONE,
MY FAVORITE PHRASE ; "IDEAS ARE BULET PROOF "
Some funny political commentator stated in the " Daily Show" that this movie is for children, as in "not mature" i find it a bit adolescent, true but it made me feel young again and one only person walked out on full room in "premier" in Montreal. ( March 15th 2006)
At some moments it made me feel i was 16 my son's age watching Zabriskie's Point, ...( i am and never was a radical, started working at 14 with my dad, now i could be a grandmother, and look after those i love, i often forget about myself, but i don't forget WHAT I STAND UP FOR , AND I'M NOT AND NEVER HAVE BEEN AFRAID OF TRUTH...
Phone tapping - it is rare that i speak with friends and family on the phone to Portugal ( with a socialist government in power ) and not be aware that my conversations are being heard. It sounds like a clik, every so often and some other ecco and electronic sounds, i think the ( cordless ) phone battery is low and it's not. Many times the line even gets cut....I have had complications also with the phone ( electronically ) and don't know if it's related to eavesdropping. Does this happen with any county ? Don't know just know it happens more often with Portugal than with local calls. ( Is Portugal on the axis of evil because it is a democratic Republic with a center right wing president and a Socialist government "freely" elected? ) One thing is sure "we are not alone, big brother is listening"
"Now, it’s likely that a government can do spying for any person whose actions are mysterious but here it was not being done on the behest of government. Then who were the people involved in it and why they were doing so? How can government/Telecom companies are so ignorant that taping can be done without the government’s involvement. "

"If you think your phone line is wiretapped, call your local phone company"
I did... and changed companies, and they say it's not them, don't know, makes no difference.... not easy to prove....
i don't believe a word in this site, the noises i hear in the phone line are not voices, and i know that the line is tapped. It's not personal. it's not about me it's about the country of contact... why Portugal ?

"Available estimates suggest that by March 2006, the Afghan economy will have grown by more than 80 percent since 2001.13 Much of the progress is attributed to foreign assistance ( NOT FREE ? HOW MUCH IN DEBTS ? ) and the illegal drug economy ( THAT WILL BE ONE DAY BE LEGAL - as case with alcohol - UNDER U.S. CONTROL ? ) hat amounted to 52 percent of licit GDP in 2005."
"The temple of democracy has been taken over in recent decades by the transnational money-changers. Large corporations dominate national governments and they dominate the secret global government (the World Trade Organisation, World Bank, International Monetary Fund etc) that is being constructed behind the backs of citizens. This explains why the rulers need to hide their rule-making procedures: if less than 1 per cent of the population (millionaire corporate lawyers) monopolise the rule-making process, they can't let the public know the details."

THE LEGAL DRUG KILLING MACHINE
El Tamiflu y el negocio del miedo
"Sabes que el virus de la gripe aviar fue descubierto hace 9 años en Vietnam?
Sabes que desde entonces han muerto apenas 100 personas EN TODO EL MUNDO TODOS ESTOS AÑOS ?
Sabes que los norteamericanos fueron los que alertaron de la eficacia del TAMIFLU ( antiviral humano ) como preventivo ?
Sabes que el TAMIFLU apenas alivia algunos síntomas de la gripe común?
Sabes que su eficacia ante la gripe común está cuestionada por gran parte de la comunidad científica ?
Sabes que ante un SUPUESTO virus mutante como el H5N1 el TAMIFLU apenas aliviara la enfermedad?
Sabes quien comercializa el TAMIFLU? LABORATORIOS ROCHE.
Sabes a quien compró ROCHE la patente del TAMIFLU en 1996? a GILEAD SCIENCES INC.
Sabes quien era el Presidente de GILEAD SCIENCES INC y aun hoy principal accionista? DONALD RUMSFELD, actual Secretario de Defensa de USA.
Sabes que la base del TAMIFLU es el anís estrellado? ¿Sabes quien se ha quedado con el 90% de la producción mundial de este árbol? ROCHE.
Sabes que las ventas del TAMIFLU pasaron de 254 millones en el 2004 a mas de 1000 millones en el 2005?
Sabes cuantos millones más puede ganar ROCHE en los próximos meses si sigue este negocio del miedo?
O sea que el resumen del cuento es el siguiente: Los amigos de Bush deciden que un fármaco como el TAMIFLU es la solución para una pandemia que aún no se ha producido y que ha causado en todo el mundo 100 muertos en 9 años. Este fármaco no cura ni la gripe común. El virus no afecta al hombre en condiciones normales. Rumsfeld vende la patente del TAMIFLU a ROCHE y este le paga una fortuna. Roche adquiere el 90% de la producción del anís estrellado, base del antivírico. Los Gobiernos de todo el Mundo amenazan con una pandemia y compran a ROCHE cantidades industriales del producto. Nosotros acabamos pagando el medicamento y Rumsfeld, Cheney y Bush hacen el negocio....

I am still young and adolescent in my heart living in the land of the COLONIAL CONSERVATIVES who still believe in the QUEEN and the EMPIRE the minorities who believe that V stands for Victory, EQUALITY AND FREEDOM and it is up to each people / nation to find the right time time TO FIND THEIR FREEDOM ( as when you decide to chose your path, and take first step for independence) it if forced it will break in civil war, ( main reason for conflict between parents and they young is the rate of acceleration/ speed for independence placed on them by parents unable to support their economic burden ? ) when is it time to do your own revolution ? and will people ever accept others to decide their future for them ? ( not even my 72 year old mother forced on drugs by the state... )

"He provides a broad overview of the development of science from the dawn of civilization to today's quantum mechanics. From this base of information, Atalay offers a fascinating view into Leonardo's restless intellect and modus operandi, allowing us to see the source of his ideas and to appreciate his art from a new perspective. William D. Phillips, who won the Nobel Prize in physics in 1997, writes of the author, "Atalay is indeed a modern renaissance man, and he invites us to tap the power of synthesis that is Leonardo's model."

One medium sized chunk would fall on land, creating a huge crater, resulting in earthquake and volcano activities all over the world.

"NOAM CHOMSKY: Well, falsifying research is not a criminal offense. It is wrong. Take, for example, tobacco companies who did suppress information for a long time on the lethal effect of what they were producing. There have finally been some sentences, very light sentences. Corporate crime is simply not punished. White collar crimes are barely punished. There are extensive studies of this. Just take one example: two of the major drug companies - I think it was Eli Lilly and Smith Kline - which have since been merged into some bigger conglomerate. This must have been the late 1980s. There was, if I remember, a class action suit against them for falsifying information on some drugs which led to tens of thousands of deaths. They found 80,000 people who had suffered severely from this. They brought a suit - these 80,000 people - against the company. And they won the suit. And the company was charged 80,000 dollars - one dollar for each person who they had seriously injured. I mean, if a particular person was guilty of seriously injuring 80,000 people, they would not be fined 80,000 dollars, but that is the way corporate crime is dealt with. In fact, there are extensive legal studies of corporate manslaughter. Killing someone with the understanding that what you are doing may very well kill them -manslaughter- it is called corporate manslaughter, which is huge, but has barely been investigated."

On the subject of nature i would like to say that the month of March should be a clean up month and not the month to be in the dirtiest streets of Montreal. Speaking for St. Henri , a 20 min walk from downtown, there is so much human garbage, that i begin to question if the City Hall hates us, and are my neighbors not doing anything about cleaning or having the city do it. Many friends of mine have payed more than two thousand dollars a year in parking fines, i have myself payed at least 800 in one year alone, so why can't the City Hall clean the streets and sidewalks in the month of March ?

“Unfortunately, so much specialization falsely creates the illusion that knowledge and discovery exist in a vacuum, in context only with their own disciplines, when in reality they are born from interdisciplinary connections.

In history, the transition to representative democracy was directly driven by the spread of information due to the printing press. It didn't start in 1215 with Magna Carta which was a private deal between the king and the barons...
Today, information technology is making it possible to think differently. People are becoming dissatisfied with the system in which one person represents the complex and different interests of tens of thousands.
What comes next is a product of information technology — direct democracy. One person, one vote. On all issues. Every second of the night and day. Via electronic agents. What democracy was always supposed to be. "

The CBC news network in Canada is asking the "people" if there should be a debate about the future presence of Canadian troops in Afghanistan...this is the question if i understood correctly ?
My Answer
there should be a debate - first of all not on this issue for the moment but a debate between Nato Canada and representatives of at least seven other "neutral" peace keeping countries, whom we respect politically on : WHAT IS THE PLAN FOR THE FUTURE OF AFGHANISTAN, IRAQ , IRAN, HAITTI AND ALL THE COUNTRIES IN BUSH'S AXIX OF EVIL ? How is their reconstruction and economic international support being planned if there is a continuous civil war ? After this debate takes place THEN we as CANADIANS may be allowed to TAKE THE OTHER DEBATE - Do we support this invasion , this illegal participation in a civil war in Afghanistan , Iraq and others caused by the U.S. administration....
by offering our young sons and daughters to die as a sacrifice in exchange for economic prosperity ? Reminds me of the Mayans, and Greeks sacrificing lives to the Gods for good crops, good weather ....

nuclear weapons problem?
"It finally came to a vote in November 2004. That's probably the most important vote that the U.N. ever took. The vote came out 174 to 1. The U.S. voted against it. Two countries abstained: Israel and Britain....
Human survival is of much lower priority for Tony Blair than making sure that he gets invited to George Bush's ranch. And this was not reported. I don't know if it was reported in South Korea, but in the U.S. it was not reported. It was not reported, you know. That's one step towards eliminating nuclear weapons.

MATH AND "Twice as Less"
"Does Black English stand between black students and success in math and science?
A teacher for over thirty-five years, Eleanor Wilson Orr discovered that many of her students' difficulties were rooted in language. This is her account of the program she established to help them reach their potential. In the light of the current debate over Ebonics, she has written an introduction for the reissue of this important study."

"Science, like art, is not a copy of nature but a re-creation of her. We re-make nature by the act of discovery, in the poem or in the theorem. And the great poem and the deep theorem are new to every reader, and yet are his own experiences, because he himself re-creates them. They are the marks of unity itself; and in the instant when the mind seizes this for itself, in art or in science, the heart misses a beat."

Optimal Geometry as Art
Two thousand years ago, Seneca wrote that "All art is but imitation of nature." Assuming this, if nature can be described mathematically, the same should be true of art. Of course, current-day mathematics is not sufficient to describe truly complex systems, like humans and their relationships, which are the subjects of much great art. And perhaps some of these areas will forever stay outside the realm of mathematical analysis.
Often abstract art, including music, is closer to mathematics. Those aspects of nature, like optimization problems, that are most easily described in mathematical terms often lead to an abstract beauty. Henry James wrote that "in art economy is always beauty."

When i was 17 my father asked me "what are you going to study in University" ?
I said " Fine Arts"
He then asked how many jobs in this field will you find ? i said " we'll see..."
some 35 years later .....i'm still searching .....of course i'm still young...
"When Eugene became 17, he had to decide on his future profession.
-- My father came and asked me: -- "My son, when you grow up, what do you want to become?" -- After a short silence I answered: -- "Father, if I am to be frank with you I have to say that I would like to become a physicist." -- My father seemed to have expected this answer, and asked me: -- "Tell me, my son, how many jobs are available in our country for a physicist?" -- With some exaggeration I told: -- "I think, four." -- (In reality there were only three at the three universities.) -- "And do you think, my son, that you will obtain any of these four jobs?" -- This is how and why I chose studying chemical engineering. After the high school classes taught by Sándor Mikola, the lectures at the Institutes of Technology in Budapest and Berlin were mere repetitions. Essentially the physics lessons in the Lutheran Gymnasium were the last physics courses which I regularly attended. [To the author 1987.]"

IS THIS A JOKE ?
4) "Canadian artists should stop seeing ourselves less as victims, and more as citizens. (“It’s not what the country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.”) "

WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR (THE "IMAGE" OF ?) YOUR COUNTRY- ANSWER
a) You can survive as an art teacher, and become less of a doer, more of a speaker, and tell your students you are an artist ( every year you forget what that was ) for the statistics -your a successful visual artists
b) you can work hard in any other profession to pay for your studio, PAINT ON WEEKENDS and nights ( no social or family life ) AND TELL EVERYONE YOUR A FULL TIME SUCCESSFUL ARTIST- they will believe you more and more even if your not making a single sale, for the statistics - again your total income is that of an artist ? ( most artists are dishonest , they try to look rich to get close to the rich )
c) You can specialize in bla...bla...get some grants, copy the vibes, feed the tastes of the most talked-about art curators , go to the internationals, the biennials on more grants and don't chose Canadian cities like Montreal where nothing happens, go do something for Canada outside Canada please ?
d) leave this Government Grant Olympics Scene and accept that you can give more to Canada as a bartender, or a school bus driver, than doing art, join the charity art auctions .... become art business dealer, art gallery owner hire a bureaucrat to get grants for your gallery and call it a "cultural" gift for your community and your country, and i would not say exploit, just that poor artist must pay to show their work.... if they are so desperate to survive, and sell, make a profit they must help pay your art gallery's rent and other expenses ? this way in fact You ARE DOING A SERVICE TO YOUR COUNTRY, for by existing from them these poor artists actually have a place to show their work , and it's like the lottery, if they are lucky and sell they get back the money they payed, if not well better luck next time, or maybe your not painting what the public wants, maybe need to do some more flowers or some nudes ? depends on the times as the gallery expert you will ADVISE the artist, ANOTHER SERVICE TO YOUR COUNTRY ?
but if it hurts so much that it's making you go crazy then there's fast money makers' for artists, like sell drugs, prostitution or teaching, again teaching ?, are there enough good pay teaching jobs ? no , so let's see WHAT CAN I DO FOR MY COUNTRY AS AN ARTIST ? I know i can KILL MYSELF, OR WAIT TIL I GROW OLD , then all my art, hundreds of pieces preferably ( otherwise no talk about me ) will be taken by Government " MY Country" will then sell this art to the rich collectors and some profit will go to MY COUNTRY... that's it work hard - then die - for the good of my country.... we artists are not materialistic... too bad we need to eat and pay rent...
the e) is usually none of the above, or all of the above at different moments in an artists life.... The richest man in Canada is an art collector, how nice, most of his collection is probably works by artists who died poor...
"What society thinks of as reality today is the hypnosis of social conditioning, an induced fiction in which we are all collectively participating. It is the melodrama of a humdrum existence, filled with trite obsessions and trivial pursuits, wherein our only fate is to be born, grow old, and die."

PACIFISM - EUGENE DEBS

“Too long have the workers of the world waited for some Moses to lead them out of bondage. I would not lead you out if I could; for if you could be led out, you could be led back again. I would have you make up your minds there is nothing that you cannot do for yourselves.”
From an address on Industrial Unionism delivered at Grand Central Palace. New York City, Dec. 18,1905."
"May, 1895—Debs and leaders of ARU sent to jail for contempt of court in connection with Pullman strike.
Finished sentences Nov. 22, 1895.
Given triumphal welcome by thousands on his arrival in Chicago, from Woodstock, Ill. jail where sentence was served.
1900, 1904, 1908, 1912, 1920—Ran as candidate of Socialist Party for President of the United States in some of the most dynamic campaigning ever seen in the United States. Made his greatest showing in campaign of 1908 which featured the RED SPECIAL train which went to every section of the country."

A miséria da política eleitoral
“Nenhum governo liberal desde 1814 subiu ao poder a não ser pela violência. Cânovas, suficientemente inteligente para ver a inconveniência e o perigo que isto representava, determinou que os governos conservadores deveriam ser sucedidos regularmente por governos liberais. Diante de uma crise econômica ou de uma greve, o plano seria demitir e deixar que os liberais resolvessem o problema. Isto explica por que a maior parte da legislação repressiva aprovada durante o resto do século foi aprovada por eles”.
—Gerald Brenan, The Spanish Labyrinth
O melhor argumento a favor da política eleitoral radical foi elaborado por Eugene Debs, o líder socialista americano que em 1920 obteve cerca de um milhão de votos para a presidência enquanto permanecia na prisão por opor-se à I Guerra Mundial: “Se as pessoas não tem informações suficientes para saber em quem votar, não saberão contra quem disparar”. Por outro lado, os trabalhadores durante a revolução alemã de 1918-19 não sabiam contra quem disparar exatamente devido à presença dos líderes “socialistas” no governo trabalhando constantemente para reprimir à revolução.
A grosso modo podemos distinguir cinco graus de "governo":
(1) liberdade irrestrita
(2) democracia direta
(3) democracia delegada
(4) democracia representativa
(5) ditadura de uma minoria
A presente sociedade oscila entre os pontos (4) e (5), isto é, entre governo minoritário declarado e governo minoritário disfarçado, ambos camuflados por uma fachada simbólica de democracia. Uma sociedade liberada eliminaria os pontos (4) e (5) e progressivamente reduziria a necessidade dos pontos (2) e (3). .
.EUGENE VICTOR DEBS (1855-1926)
"was one of the greatest and most articulate advocates of workers’ power to have ever lived. During the early years of the labor movement in the United States, Debs was far ahead of his times, leading the formation of the American Railway Union (ARU) and the American Socialist Party."

"We must refuse to see that as a false choice; we must refuse to pit one religion against another. The choice is between absolutism and relativism, between totalitarianism and the dignity of the individual. That is the post-Enlightenment lesson the West can offer, and it is a legacy worth defending.
As I prepare to leave Washington for London, one thing is clear: There will be even less time in the future to take flying lessons."

All over the world, massive demonstrations took place March 18th. This will be the opportunity for Americans to show that they have learned the lessons of George Bush’s “War on Terror” and to demand the immediate unconditional removal of US troops from Iraq and Afghanistan. Hands off Iran ! LET'S NOT START THE THIRD WORLD WAR - PLEASE ?
In Canada, it's cold outside, and hopefully, we will also demand the withdrawal of Canadian soldiers and police from Afghanistan and Haiti, and we will declare that US war deserters are welcome here.
Korea and International Affairs
"NOAM CHOMSKY: The Bush administration is the most dangerous administration that has ever existed in the U.S. I mean, it is taking actions which significantly increase the threat of destruction of species in both of the domains that we are talking about. It is also taking actions which increase the threat of terror, which is quite serious. It is not nuclear war but it is very serious, and they are doing it quite consciously."

Rickman Slams 'Censorship' of Play about US Gaza Activist
by Julian Borger
"I can only guess at the pressures of funding an independent theatre company in New York, but calling this production "postponed" does not disguise the fact that it has been cancelled," Mr Rickman said in a statement.
"This is censorship born out of fear, and the New York Theatre Workshop, the Royal Court, New York audiences - all of us are the losers."

"So why is a nice Jewish boy in a town where Israeli flags and little statues of IDF soldiers are displayed in Judaica shop windows, openly supporting the Palestinians? Because there is a human rights emergency going on right now."

HOW TO STOP TERRORISM
NOAM CHOMSKY: There is also right now the insurgency which is violent and brutal, but it was elicited by the invasion. Iraq hadn't had any suicide bombers for probably a millennium, but now they have them all the time. The U.S. intelligence and the Israeli and Saudi intelligence have analyzed very closely the foreign fighters in Iraq. There are very few. It is maybe 10 percent of the insurgents. But almost none of them had any terrorist record. They are under extremely close surveillance. Their people were mobilized by the war. It was expected that the war would mobilize potential militants, ultimately terrorists, and they would spread around the world. That's exactly what happened. And you can read the CIA reports. Iraq has become what they call the training ground for professionalized terrorists probably much more severe than Afghanistan was under the Taliban. These are people trained in urban terrorism, and highly skilled and so on and [they're] going to spread all over the world and have already done it in Jordan...
So, one way to cut back terrorism is to [1] stop inciting it (terrorism). If you stop inciting terrorism, that is one way to cut it back. And another way which you are not allowed to talk about in the west is to [2] stop participating in it. The western powers are leading participants in terror. In fact, the U.S. is the only country to have rejected a World Court decision. The World Court decision was charging the U.S. with international terrorism in its war against Nicaragua. The only country. And that's only one of many examples.
So one way to cut back terrorism is to stop participating in it. A second way to cut back terrorism is to stop inciting it. And then other ways are understood. I mean terrorists - let's say, Al Qaeda - regard themselves as kind of a vanguard."
