Q: Does anyone know how to DELETE an uploaded photo from Vox.com?
Vox.com seemed inordinately slow today (and yesterday too). That makes two blogsites currently impossible to use and refusing to behave or co-operate.
Q: Or prevent uploaded photos (...now a deleted entry) from still appearing viewable, as a gallery, to all?
Marathon, 2002 "It's certainly a gem; a probable "underground" masterpiece."Dennis Schwartz
Psychological Drama - Amir Naderi's independent feature concludes the New York trilogy this gifted Iranian filmmaker began with "Manhattan by Numbers" (1992) and "A, B, C . . . Manhattan" (1997). His protagonist is Gretchen (Sara Paul), a young woman with a curious obsession: once each year, she goes on a personal marathon, in which she tries to complete as many crossword puzzles as possible during a 24-hour period while riding the underground trains. By performing this strange, private ritual (a tradition she has inherited from her mother) in the most public and chaotic of places, Gretchen seems to be waging her own private war against the meaningless din of urban existence. As absurd as her gesture may be, it is one way of imposing order on arbitrariness. Dave Kehr, The New York Times
*Mental note to add to my films-I-must-watch list.
I like the state of 'peace' here in the left bottom corner... and the elements/molecules.. perhaps the representation thats there's a little bit of all of us within each and everyone of us. The patchwork pieces that that take shape, unfolding a pattern, showing the fabric of our lives.....
Came across this artwork by accident and was totally impressed by it. I absolutely love it! A young inventor who has been busily working in the lab to design an internet product. What a beautiful individual custom-designed life story or statement gift this would make!

LAUGHTER, THE BEST MEDICINE: Taken from a Reader's Digest Mag, but lovingly typed by moi..!
Out for a stroll, a couple of drunks are staring at the sky. "What a beautiful night," one of the guys says, Look at the moon, Thats not the moon, you moron, his inebriated pal replies. Thats the sun. Theyre still arguing about it when another drunk staggers over. Help us out, mate, the first man says. Look up is that the sun or the moon? I dont know, the man slurs. I dont live around here.
