Sure! I did not have recent pictures but I have spent to two recent weekends with a Spanish friend who has a camera and likes taking pictures. He came to my apartment in Lisbon between 19th and 21st April, and I was a guest in his apartment in Évora last weekend. That Southern Portuguese city is beautiful but quite calm and sleepy, despite being a University place with lots of young people - they escape at the weekend to be back in their home places.

Thanks, Azi!
The previous was in Marrakesh in 2007. This one is April 21st, 2013 - I like going there to read for a while in the evening sun, when it still warms the skin - without burning.

Dear friend,
I've just taken care of your request of three weeks ago, regarding a book separation involving Chomsky. There was something really messy about that book (?).
I did not reply earlier because I had not seen you. My home page has been telling me I did not have any unread notes over the past month, while notes were actually accumulating. Brrrr...

dear arezoo
I just saw your picture on my homepage ( I so live this picture ) and thought I'd send you another story of fun and shenanigans; from college this time.
on the last day of the spring semester a bar just off university of maryland campus, then named 'the vous', opened in the early AM. and as the day progresses it just gets more and more crowded. and it is quite filthy, you never wear nice clothes, it more or less devolves into a beer fight. I remember walkking in and being shocked at the events. and we were early and prepared. do you know what duck boots are? they are from a store named LL bean in america. they are rubber based lowers with leather uppers, keeps dry and durable. anyway, my friend (I cange his name) eric and I decided, we are here, let's participate. I have epilepsy and take medications so I do not drink alcohol, but we both bought a pither of beer and went to a table of eric's friends. I poured a guy a drink and instead of handing it to him, dumped it over his head. eric did the same and we trashed the entire table with our pitchers. within minutes, we were soaked. puddles of beer amassed on the most treaded on parts of the floor. nearing 9am, just before it starting packing, drunk guys and a few girls starting doing beer slides. they would run and the dive on their chests and slide acoss and through the sludge of beer from all morning wixing with stale beer and filthy shoes and sneakers over so long, ehhhh so gross. but college here, sometimes drinking events people really go all out. now a days I think schools cut down on these things. anyway, my friend matthew came in wearing a cashmere polo sweater. before I could see how well dressed he was, my cup had already emptied and the beer was alreay on its way flowing right towards his chest and chin. his attitude was, as basically everyone,s who shows up, "f*** it now, Im going to participate. matthew ended up chugging beers from other guys shoes. anyway, the best part of the day was the beer slides. eric and I started by standing down at the end of the aisle the sliders headed, so we can watch them come right at us. and they were getting so far they ended up within a couple feet. so eric and I looked at each other. eric had a sparkle. I thought I knew, but wasn't sure, but I agreed. the next guy slid down and as he approached we jumped into the puddle and started to just kick water all over him as he was coming to the end. and we laughed so hard. it felt like we did it for half an hour. but it was proabably at most 10 minutes. but when we stopped, others took our place kicking the puddle of sludge right into the smiling faces of theses drunk volunteers who totally knew what they were getting and thats how crazy that morning was that day. I left before it filled but the line had started to wrap around the bar. I entered the vous prior to sunrise so the morning sun was so blinding and disorienting. that was the only time I attended elbow room. I think even if I did drink alcohol, once would have been enough, but once was great times.
how are you? what is new? how are your studies?
best wishes

سلام
ممنون. شما چطوری؟
بعد از دفاع آدم دلش میخواد فقط کارهایی که زمان نوشتن پایان نامه نمی تونسته انجام بده و هی به خودش وعده اش رو می داده رو انجام بده اما این هم زود خسته کننده می شه. در مورد درس خوندن هم درست می گی. انگار بهش معتاد شدیم. من سه ماه بعد از دفاعم و بلافاصله بعد از تحویل نسخه نهایی به دانشگاه با امیرحسین رفتم دریا. در کل سال 90 فقط 4 ماه ایران بودیم. اما الان که امیرحسین تنهایی رفته و من هم اینجا تنهام همون حس بلاتکلیفی رو دارم. من هم با وجود این که اصلا مطمئن نبودم دلم می خواد باز هم درس بخونم یا نه و حتی خیلی آماده هم نبودم امسال دکتری شرکت کردم. فعلا هم منتظر اعلام نتایج مصاحبه ها هستم . نمی دونم اگه قبول بشم واقعا خوشحال می شم یانه
فعلا که دارم از فرصت استفاده می کنم و هرچی به دستم می رسه می خونم چون اگه قبول شم دیگه فرصتی برای این جور کتاب خوندن پیدا نمی کنم
ممنون از لینکی که فرستادی جالب به نظر می رسه. ختما بهش سر می زنم

درباره ی بخش نخست که گفتید چرا به شما یادآوری کردم دوست ندارم اینجا همگانی بگم شاید هم کمبود (ایراد) از شلفاری باشه....

آفرین هم می گم به شما که زبان انگلیسی تان خوب است ولی یادآوری می کنم که ما واژه ای به نام

واژگان انگلیسی نداریم و کاربرد آن نادرست و من درآوردی است یا به گفته ی خودمان پینگیلیش
Persian

Hi Az!
Ha ha haaa... I'm afraid I'll have to correct both of you!
-Ladies first: I really doubt HE is a little PRINCESS. He is a man, so he should be Little PRINCE!
-And last (but not least) the issue: he might have some point, but I totally agree with you. I hate the cover of those re-editions of Spanish rare books Amazon is selling, showing on the book cover "title" + (Spanish edition). That is so silly! The book has probably never been translated, and if a Spaniard was looking for it and found it, they might buy it. But if you can't speak Spanish and can't understand the title, you will not buy it. No need to show on the cover that "that" is a Spanish edition of a book that was never edited in a different language.
(The previous might be somehow close to Little Prince's concern. But this is not actually the case. I have to support your position):
There are two different sections where you show the language of a book:
--On the book page, you have a section called "First edition". The first box to fill in is "language": there you should state the original language of the book. The Spanish "Don Quijote" has to show in Shelfari in the "official" or "working" language of the site, so the book record shows as "Don Quixote". But you will write in that little section "Spanish", since that was the language of the first edition ever published.
--Now, on top of the book page, you have a tab called "Editions". Once in that section, you have to list the actual language of the edition you see. If it is an Iranian book which was never translated, your edit will obviously be "Persian".
That is not a "silly" edit: by doing so, you might be helping another member... say, for example... me! I might be interested in knowing if that book has ever been published in translation. If I go to the editions section and see nobody edited that, I am unsure of what I see. Little Prince might argue: "Well, if César went so far, he will see that all the titles look like transliterated Persian". Not exactly: what if some of those editions happened to be Tadjik? It is a language that took many loan-words from Russian, but actually evolving from Persian itself. So the title might by chance be the same in both languages but my curiosity as a member might have partly been satisfied. I would be still unsure of how many translations have ever been made, but I would at least know that Shelfari lists at least two different languages.
The edition language should never show on the book record (= book page) but those sections asking the editor to fill in with the language are precisely open and ready for the editor who wants to contribute!
You can take any of my ideas and use them dressed in your own words in your reply to Little Prince. I'm sure you don't want to copy all my words because neither you nor I want to make our friend blush... just for a little joke on princes and princesses.

Little Prince says
درود,بله سپاس,شما چگونه ای؟
خوش آمدید
خواهش,بله با چند نمونه فرديدم (منظور) رو می گم:
برای نمونه نسک (کتاب) مدیر مدرسه نامش میشه
Modire Madrese
و نیازی به گزاره ی
(Persian Edition)
در جلوی نام آن نیست و زبان آن در بخش
Editions
یا First Edition
آورده میشه
این بخش
Editions
برای همین ساخته شده....که برای نمونه جلوی نام همه ی نسخه های هری پاتر که شما آورده اید ننوشته
English Edition
....بلکه دسته بندی کرده نسخه های به هر زبان رو
بله گزینش زبان خوبه ولی اینکه بخوایم جلوش بنویسیم به گمانم کار زیادی باشه نه اینکه کار نادرستی باشه
چه بد....ولی امیدوارم حالا که ویرایش نمی کنید زمانتون به خواندن بگذره که کار بهتریه
روز خوش

Dear arezoo
How are things going? I am on way into city and thought its a wonderful time to send y a message. I hope all is well. We have a small reprieve from heat. It should return Wednesday. I hate the heat.
Anyway, from long ago I owe you a funny story. I will now try:
Before kids get their drivers liscence over here, we are stuck pretty much to our own devices in our own neighborhood. When we were 14 we would spend most afternoons after school at my friend bobs house. Our neighborhood is pretty much cookie cutter when it comes to property. Each house sits on 1/3 acre, in some rectangle Shape. But bobs was bigger. He had a small hill and we made trails for out bikes And it was adjacent to a catholic high school. Out of boredom we decided to make fun of some of the track team as they would run past us for training. Well over weeks we found a mark. One guy just couldn't take out little smart Asses and mouths. So we got an idea. We would goad this runner to chase us. We would leAd him to bobs backyard and into the hill. But first we needed to prepare. We spent 3 days after school w shovels and dug pretty deep and wide holes. We covered lots of the area w brush so it was t just the holes looking suspicious. So we sent out our fastest runner to bait him. It Took days to get him mad enough to chase. But when he did a 2 friends joined. We made a b line for the trails. The first kid, the one we wanted was threatening us with what would happen when he got one of us. In the middle of his threat, boom, he went down. Even his friends laughed. We ended up catching a second One before they gave up. But we earned much respect that day. We became friendly and known by the entire track team.
I hope you found some humor it the story as it was so fun to live.
Hope all is well

درود دوست گرامی خوبی؟ خواهش می کنم در ویرایش کتاب های پارسی ....
(Persian Edition)
رو به کار نبرید
زیرا این عبارت زمانی به کار می ره که برای نمونه اصل کتاب به انگلیسی یا فرانسه و یا .... است که این نسخه ی پارسی آن می باشد
با سپاس
