Taking a picture of Citizenship Certificate

The less you know stuff (and by "stuff" I mean pretty much anything), the less you understand this cartoon since you are not likely to get a correct reference.

Hmmm, violence is violence no matter the context.

But as some wise soul has already said, "let's switch to other threads where contribution can be more meaningful/helpful to the poster"
 
:rolleyes:
WhichWay2Go, this cartoon is not as simple and as not as silly as you may suspect by watching just a part of one episode. The less you know stuff (and by "stuff" I mean pretty much anything), the less you understand this cartoon since you are not likely to get a correct reference.


Konig,

The gentleman surely know more about smelling trees....:eek: I am sure he can tell all trees in the neighborhood by how they smell, which is weird on its own. As for me, if I ever see any man in my backyard smelling a tree or trying to hug one, he's going to get one in the only whole in our bodies...:rolleyes: I find that a healthy sense of humor is good for one's soul, unless you don't have a soul....:) In addition, it can improve your daily routine...

Its an acquired taste not every one gets it.

Hey Al, Konig et al,

I was going to ignore this thread, but last night sitting out on my swing seat on the patio, loved one by my side and faithful dog at my feet. Sipping a small Courvoisier, I suddenly realized the sadness in this attack on my "smelling trees" statement. I was looking up at a cloudless black sky with more stars than could be counted in one night, a pleasant 67 deg and a wisp of a breeze from the East.

My poor little City dwellers. You get to smell nothing except car exhausts. To smell a tree, indeed you would have to go up to it and sniff.

Out here in this slice of Heaven, I have probably 2000 Juniper trees and a like number of Pinion Pines. Sitting out there at around 8:30pm, I could smell the trees, the fragrant scent of Juniper berries mixed with the slightly stronger smell of the pines and carried to me by that breeze.

You people on the other hand would have to sniff a tree and to see a small forest like my backyard you only have TV with no smell available. :(

Guess who is laughing now? :D

Which,

Let me correct the assumption which you made in your post. I work in the DC Metropolitan area, and I do come across car exhausts. Unless people in Phoenix don't drive cars, but ride horses, smelling car pollution has become a common fibre of the any civilized using cars...:eek:

However, I live in the suburb outside of DC not the city. I taken the liberty to attach this link for a house which is being sold couple of doors from our own, I am certain you will enjoy the backyard. I have a greener and more lush yard. Enjoy the view and let me know when you intend to buy it to smell the Pinion Pines...:rolleyes:

WhichWay2Go,

Wow, I don't even know where to start :D I have no idea where you came up with "city dwellers" assumption, but you can't be more wrong. I live in a city of 50,000 inhabitants and get to smell several oaks that grow behind my apartment complex. If there is a relation between living in a certain place and watching TV, I definitely fail to see it. Same goes for being knowledgeable about some things other than Pinion Pines... :rolleyes: With the weather, however, you beat me - it is now 32°C here which is a bit more than I am used to :(
 
I don't know how this thing turned into a discussion on tree aroma ;) I'll try to answer the original question.

Most people bring cameras to the oath ceremony. Most cameras are fairly decent digital cameras nowadays. The certificate is fairly big, so I don't see the need for macro, unless you want to take pictures of specific sections inside the certificate. In order to record the certificate number (which is the only information you wouldn't have otherwise) it should suffice to take a picture that captures the entire certificate. If you have anything above 3 megapixel camera you should be able to zoom in into the part of the certificate you care about in your own computer.

On the other hand you can just scan or photocopy the certificate at your convenience. A color scan will give you a much better capture of your certificate than a photo (in my opinion), but the photo can give you that "instant" capture of the certificate.

However, who can tell that both the certificate and the camera can not be lost or stolen in the way home ;)

H,

It became a tree aroma when Which berates us for finding a vicious beating in a cartoon character as unacceptable bunch of crap. :o He admonished us to smell the roses and trees as opposed to watching crap on TV and that we should grow up. :eek: Nothing is guaranteed to provide utter safety to the naturalization certificate. If I were in his shoes, Stewie will provide the ultimate protection to the certificate...:)

I wouldn't depend on Stewie, he is obviously British, and probably illegal, he is not the one to entrust with your Nat Certificate :D
 
I plan on having the Hubble Telescope pointed to my Certificate on Oath day, just to make sure I have a copy that's secure enough... :)

If Stewie Griffin were to apply for N-400 he would fail miserably becoz of this poor moral character and his dreams of world domination.
