1/2 SECOND BEFORE TSUNAMI. la demi-seconde avant le tsunami.
This picture was found in a camera during cleanup.
This is a fantastic photo!! Amazing that the film was still good - or memory stick. Either one, this really tells the story. Look at how high that wall of water is!!
½ a second before tsunami
This picture was taken on the banks of Sumatra Island (the height of
waves was of approx. 32 m = 105 ft).
It was found saved in a digital camera, after the disaster.
We cannot know for sure, but very likely the one who took the picture is not alive any more (it was just a matter of seconds).
Today we can see the last image he/she saw before ending life on Earth!

" VỢ, CHỒNG .... "
( CẢM TÁC QUA BÀI THƠ « LÀ ĐÀN ÔNG » ).
Nực cười thay mấy ông chồng
Chuyện thường cũng phải thổi phồng lên to.
Trước đây hứa hẹn anh lo
Anh lo mệt nghỉ ấm no gia đình.
Giờ đây trở chứng thình lình
Sáng ra thức dậy, bực mình hét la,
Cằn nhằn sao cứ bôn ba
Ngày qua tháng lại khổ ta quá chừng.
Ngày nào hôn lễ tưng bừng,
Giờ đây chịu đựng, lùng bùng lỗ tai.
Mấy ai đoán được tương lai
Vào cuộc , mới biết hoạ tai bất ngờ.
Thuở đầu gặp gỡ đợi chờ
Bây giờ cũng đợi hằng giờ, thấy đâu ?
Thỉnh thoảng bay nhảy đêm thâu
Sáng mai viện cớ lâu lâu bạn bè
Sáng mai viện cớ lâu lâu bạn bè
Đến sở mời mọc không dè
Hàn huyên, chuyện vãn, lè phè, về khuya.
“ Em ơi ! ” xuống nước thiết tha,
Thứ tha, anh hứa mãi là chồng ngoan.

Family inherits fortune generations later
Shutting Out the Kids from the Family Fortune
Want to avoid raising spoiled kids?
Consider the Wellington Burt School of Wealthy Parenting.
Wellington R. Burt was a rich timber baron from Saginaw, Mich. He died in 1919 with a multimillion-dollar fortune -- one of America's largest at the time.
Yet rather than risk messing up his kids lives with a huge inheritance, he created an unusual will.
He stated that his fortune would be distributed to the family -- but only 21 years after his grandchildren's death.
His children and grandchildren weren't entirely deprived. Burt gave his "favorite son" $30,000 a year but the rest of his children got allowances roughly equal to those he gave his cook and chauffeur, according to the Saginaw News.
"I'm pretty sure he didn't like his family back then," said Christina Cameron, an heir and a great-great-great grandchild of Burt's.
Now that it's 21 years since the death of the last grandchild, the fortune is finally being turned over to Cameron and 11 others, including three great-grandchildren, seven great-great grandchildren and another great-great-great grandchild. The fortune is valued at more than $100 million. (She'll get a little more than $2.6 million, since those further up the family tree get more under a master agreement).
Saginaw County Chief Probate Judge Patrick McGraw said the estate is "one of the most complicated research projects" he's faced in his 12-year career in Saginaw.
Of course, skipping a generation is not unusual among rich parents who want to send a message to their kids (but somehow not their grandkids). Generation-skipping trusts and other estate-planning structures have been around for ages.
But Burt's will takes kid-skipping to a new, almost punitive level. Who knows, maybe his kids and grand-kids were better off for the lack of inheritance, or maybe the money would have allowed them to lead fuller, happier lives. We'll never know. It would be interesting to compare the lives of his new heirs with those who were shut out.

"Happy Mother's Day"
"Happy Mother's Day" means more
Than have a happy day.
Within those words lie lots of things
We never get to say.
It means I love you first of all,
Then thanks for all you do.
It means you mean a lot to me,
And that I honor you.
But most of all, I guess it means
That I am thinking of
Your happiness on this, your day,
With pleasure and with love

BÀI THƠ DÂNG MẸ
Phổ nhạc do Võ tá Hân thực hiện và Bảo Yến ca
Chiều nhung nhớ mây buồn giăng mắc
Vọng quê nghèo ruột thắt từng cơn
Thương về bóng mẹ cô đơn
Chiều chiều tựa cửa mong con mỏi mòn
Ngày xưa ấy con còn nhỏ bé
Chưa bao giờ xa mẹ tấc gang
Nay con cách trở quan san
Hướng về quê mẹ đôi hàng lệ rơi
Con xa mẹ một đời thương nhớ
Bóng mẹ già, mình hạc xương mai
Ngày qua tháng rộng, năm dài
Mong con mẹ, những u hoài
Quê hương đợi ngày về chưa thấy
Để mẹ buồn lau sậy xót xa
Mẹ ơi nước mắt chan hòa
Lời ru của mẹ ngân nga một đời
Con buồn nhớ mẹ, mẹ ơi!
Thơ: Sương Mai
