The happy father
Even in the dark times of war there is a glimpse of hope and light. A happy soldier on leave holds his baby. The drawing on the postcard was made in 1917 by Luchard. I haven't been able to find anything out about the artist.

Annette Poulard
Monsieur et Madame Poulard ran a Hotel at the Mont Saint Michel. Annette Poulard became famous for her omelets, so famous, that she put up a notice warning people to avoid copies of her recipe. Her omelets were eaten by thousands of people including King Léopold II of Belgium. Georges Clemenceau was a regular visitor.

My father sometimes used to make wrought iron work, so I've always appreciated the hard work that goes into it. How many hours, I wonder, went into creating these two masterpieces?
This gateway at the Château des Perrais is still there too, although the Chateau is now a private Catholic school.
The gateway at the prefecture in Tours can be seen today. It originally came from the Abbey at Beaumont-lès-Tours and was classed as a historical Monument in 1917.

Lady in a green dress
I sent this postcard as a birthday card to someone. I love the way that the dress sweeps round. I wonder what colour it was in real life.

The Flower Market, Nice
As well as being a popular destination for the jet set (even Queen Victoria enjoyed Nice), Nice was famous for its flower market.
This card comes from the collection of an Artist; Antoine-François Cosyns. It seems that his friends sent him the most interesting postcards they could find on their travels., including this one.

Embroiderer of headdresses
I think that this is a peaceful postcard. She's working quietly away at a headdress. Notice the lace on her sleeves and her own bonnet.

Reagan Blood Update: It's No Longer For Sale
By Frank James
Originally published on Thu May 24, 2012 8:36 am
If you had hoped to bid on the medical-lab vial that purportedly contains the dried remains of a blood sample from President Ronald Reagan taken on the day he was nearly assassinated in March 1981, you're out of luck.
As the NPR news blog The Two-Way reports, the online auction firm says the consigner of the controversial item has apparently had second thoughts and decided to donate it to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation which runs the library and museum dedicated to the 40th president.
It looks like the flag signed by Fidel Castro and his best friend forever Che Guevara is still available, however.

MSU brings polemic to graduation
Neurologist Carson's views chagrin some
Dr. Ben Carson, a Johns Hopkins neurosurgeon, withdrew recently as commencement speaker at the School of Medicine because of protests over his recent remarks, on a Fox news program, supporting traditional marriage. But Carson spoke boldly at Saturday's Midwestern State University commencement, even joking about his bent for controversy.
After saying he preferred operating on children who had long lives ahead that he could improve compared to "old geezers" who might improve for five years then die of something else — "Just kidding. I like old people. I'm one of them now" — he broke into the telling of his life story to address his unwillingness to abandon traditional American values and principles.
"I do sometimes tend to be not politically correct," he said to cheers and a round of applause. "I actually believe that one of the founding principles of our nation, freedom of speech and expression, is extremely important."
The crowd erupted in applause again.
By then, 11 MSU professors and two students dressed in graduation regalia had protested Carson's appearance by standing up from their seats on the main floor and walking out of Kay Yeager auditorium, which was filled to its ceiling with onlookers, to wait out Carson's speech near a back stairwell.
A smattering of students wore rainbow ribbons pinned to their shoulders.
Carson's original media remarks had championed marriage "between a man and a woman," when he said, "It's a well-established, fundamental pillar of society, and no group, be they gays, be they NAMBLA, be they people who believe in bestiality — it doesn't matter what they are — they don't get to change the definition."
To the MSU crowd, Carson said Saturday it had "gotten to the point in this nation that you have to be so politically correct that people are afraid to express themselves," which wasn't the intent of America's Founding Fathers. "It was for free exchange. It doesn't matter if everybody agrees. It's learning to be respectful with those you disagree with."
The crowd applauded again.
"As I always say, if two people agree about everything, one of you isn't necessary," he said, segueing back into his life story, explaining that he was raised by a mother who was one of 24 children who married at 13 years old.
She couldn't read.
He later learned that his father was a bigamist. He joked, "I told that at the University of Utah, and nobody thought it was that shocking. There, I probably offended someone. Everybody knows they don't do that there anymore."
While his mother worked hard and never felt sorry for herself, "she never felt sorry for us, either," he said. "No excuse was good enough. If people don't accept excuses, you start looking for solutions."
His original dream of being a missionary doctor morphed into a desire to be rich by becoming a psychiatrist like he saw on TV shows. "They only talk to crazy people all day. I'm doing that anyway," he said, then joked: "Then I started meeting a bunch of psychiatrists. Need I say more?"
His own gifts of eye-hand coordination, spatial thinking, precision, love for dissection and the brain were better suited to neurosurgery, which led to his 36-year career with Johns Hopkins, 60 honorary degrees, five best-selling books and many groundbreaking surgeries that are in record books.
Once his mother got him reading and writing book reports, he came to value education. He endured taunts of "nerd," "Poindexter," and "Uncle Tom" as he excelled.
"Let's see what I'm doing in 20 years," he told his friends.
Early in his surgical career, he advocated for a controversial new approach to one medical problem and was highly criticized for years. "The geneticists were all mad at me. Now it's standard procedure throughout the world," he said. "I faced a lot of controversy, but I persisted, understanding what was right."
He told graduates that today he owns a big house and many cars — all the things he once dreamed of — but that he sides with King Solomon from the Bible who said gaining wisdom trumps gold and rubies.
All his wealth today "doesn't amount to a hill of beans," he said. What matters is "developing your God-given talents."
He decried a society that is "trying to throw God out," even though "one nation under God" is written on every courtroom wall, every coin and every dollar. "But we're not supposed to talk about it? What's that?" he said. "In medicine, we call it schizophrenia."
Instead, he advised students to live out their values and principles so that America would truly be "one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
The commencement ceremony also honored The President's 15 Medal of Excellence winners, students graduating summa cum laude with the highest grade-point averages, a minimum of 3.9 GPA. They are:
From the Dillard College of Business Administration: Kimberly Diane Conville, Isaac John Davis and W. Addison Todd Loughry, in accounting.

Obama Honors World War II Veterans Who Stormed Beaches of Normandy 70 Years Agotags: World War II, D-Day
COLLEVILLE-SUR-MER, France (AP) — Seventy years after Allied troops stormed the beaches at Normandy, President Barack Obama returned Friday to this hallowed battleground in what he called a "powerful manifestation of America's commitment to human freedom" that lives on in a new generation.
"Our commitment to liberty, our claim to equality, our claim to freedom and to the inherent dignity of every human being — that claim is written in the blood on these beaches, and it will endure for eternity," Obama said on a morning that dawned glorious and bright over the sacred site he called "democracy's beachhead."
Obama spoke from the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial, where nearly 10,000 white marble tombstones sit on a bluff overlooking the site of the June 6, 1944, battle's most violent fighting at Omaha Beach. He described D-Day's violent scene in vivid terms, recalling that "by daybreak, blood soaked the water" and "thousands of rounds bit into flesh and sand."
Take a look at the original AP report from June 6, 1944. Check out these incredible photos from the invasion, along with this map that breaks down all the Allied beach landings.

In the course of a press panel discussion in Hamburg hosted by Port of Hamburg Marketing, port and business representatives from centers along the Kiel Canal and the Hamburg Port Authority jointly called for the reconstruction without delay of the fifth lock chamber and the renovation of the two existing large lock chambers at Brunsbüttel. In the medium term, business in the port and industry regard the straightening out of the Eastern stretch of the canal and its deepening by one meter as indispensable measures.
Chaired by Port of Hamburg Marketing CEO Axel Mattern, the panel was concerned with the demands on an effective and reliable canal infrastructure, and the economic consequences of its restricted use and accessibility. Jens Broder Knudsen, Chairman of Kiel Canal Initiative, Jens Meier, Chairman of the Executive Board of Hamburg Port Authority, Frank Schnabel, Chairman of the Federation of Schleswig-Holstein Ports, and Rainer Keiemburg, Managing Director of TOTAL Bitumen Deutschland, participated. For Jens Broder Knudsen, it is clear that for handling their growing flows of goods, not just ports on the canal, but others in Northern Germany and our neighboring countries, depend on having a functioning Kiel Canal that is navigable free of obstacles. Knudsen pointed out that with the assent of all 16 federal states of Germany, the Bodewig Commission had worked out some innovative possibilities for financing infrastructure. By way of special funding and pilot projects, with a broad political consensus a basis had been secured for long-term refinancing of infrastructure funding as a matter of priority. In Knudsen's view, this will radically simplify the implementation of future infrastructure measures. "The present debate about a 'Car toll on foreigners' should not be allowed to further prevent the politically desired topping up of additional funds in the budget. The Kiel Canal is the lifeline that connects German ports on the North Sea with the Baltic. The funding from the special fund to be created for the essential and overdue upgrading works on the Kiel Canal should serve to secure this advantage in routing vis-à-vis the competing ports in the Netherlands and Belgium," declared Knudsen.
Despite several gaps and restrictions in operation of the canal, in the first half of 2013 a total of 15,940 vessels transited the Kiel Canal, transporting 48.8 million tons of cargo. For Frank Schnabel, the accessibility of the ports lying directly on the Kiel Canal in Brunsbüttel, Hochdonn, Hohenhörn, Kreishafen Rendsburg plus Rendsburg Port, the recently built heavy cargo port, Kiel's Nordhafen and the Kiel-Holtenau inland waterway port, must be guaranteed in the long term. "If the reliability of the canal, actually the most heavily used canal in the world, cannot be guaranteed due to infrastructural deficiencies, then that will rapidly lead to a switching of transport flows. That will then affect innumerable jobs directly or indirectly attributable to the canal and the sea trades using it," declared Frank Schnabel, for whom the Kiel Canal is more than just a transit waterway. "The Kiel Canal is just as much a lifeline for industrial firms and businesses along the canal. Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein are so tightly networked that negative consequences for Hamburg's port also hit Schleswig-Holstein and its maritime economy directly. We must at all costs prevent the catastrophe of a long-term closure of the Kiel Canal, since otherwise the national economy will suffer grave damage," warned Schnabel.
Rainer Keiemburg drew attention to the uninterrupted supply and transports of products for industry based on the canal and in the region: "For production facilities such as TOTAL Bitumen, Bayer or the Heide Refinery, any restrictions on operations or closures of the canal entail losses running into millions. Delays or cessations of production cause extra costs and enormous expense for such firms. And these can also very rapidly lead to supply bottlenecks for our customers," as Keiemburg made clear. For a company like TOTAL Bitumen Deutschland, which can point to a century of success and with its products is also closely linked to infrastructural development, in Keiemburg's view a functioning Kiel Canal is also a decisive factor in determining whether Brunsbüttel's development as an industrial base reaches a dead-end or remains on a growth course.
After the replacement investments in the locks and the Levensauer elevated bridge, in the view of the Kiel Canal Initiative the growing sizes and drafts of ships require adjustment of the Eastern stretch of the canal very soon. "This would allow greater feasible draft and hence higher transport capacity. Along with the adaptation and optimization of the canal bends on the Eastern stretch, a deepening by one additional meter to a total of 12 meters is also vital. These measures would shorten passage times for shipping, eliminating waiting times. It is also of crucial importance that the canal control centers should be adequately staffed with engineers and technicians. Without additional staff, the essential complete upgrading of the Kiel Canal will not be assured," stressed Knudsen.
For Jens Meier, the Kiel Canal represents a crucial geographical advantage for the Port of Hamburg and other German ports on North Sea. From Hamburg to Gdansk, for example the route advantage using the Kiel Canal is 437 nautical miles, compared to the route around Denmark that via Skagen totals 874 nautical miles. "With more than 130 feedership departures per week, around 2 million TEU per year are transported by feeder through the canal in an ecologically friendly manner between Hamburg and the Baltic region. The economic significance of the Kiel Canal therefore extends far beyond North Germany. The upgrading, enlargement and regular maintenance of the Kiel Canal is an urgent necessity," Jens Meier also emphasized.
Port of Hamburg Marketing CEO Axel Mattern wound up the panel discussion by commenting that as the shortest, fastest and most environmentally friendly sea link with the Baltic region, the Kiel Canal is of immense importance for the wider Hamburg metropolitan region. "In combination with the Elbe and the Port of Hamburg, the Kiel Canal is a traffic system. The preservation and upgrading of the canal as part of Germany's transport infrastructure is a national obligation and utterly essential for the preservation of the competitiveness of our economy and our ports. After the neglect of infrastructure over recent decades, we expect absolutely clear signals from the incoming new federal government indicating an assured future for the Kiel Canal and the related trade industry and ports," Mattern said.

Furnace Flue
While doing some work for a relative living in a three level house I noticed that the furnace flue goes from the basement, through two floors and a ceiling and through the roof. The installation of the flue itself looks proper, but I am concerned that the openings around the flue are not closed off to prevent the upward movement of fire, if there should be one. What is the proper way to seal around the flue?
What I have learned so far is that apparently it is required to have firestops at every level of penetration. What I discovered after a few minutes doesn't speak well for the home inspector when my relative bought the house, nor the building inspector when the home was built. Found plenty of electrical problems, too. I think the inspector was mainly there to collect his pay.
Anyone with a hammer, flashlight, camera, and a ladder can
become a home inspector. Watch mike homes. If the home builders and general contractors did over here what they do
over there 85 percent of them would be out of business and in jail. So would half of the inspectors. Prime exp. Put up a partition wall in the basement in this province without floating it The inspector will issue a stop work order. That is how lacks the codes are over there. If you smell car exhaust coming from your attached garage you don't need a home inspector to figure out there is something wrong.
Yes i think you could be right. The inspector was there to
collect the money and he or she hadn't a clue as what they were doing.I can still legally pull a gas install permit.
Haven't been in the trade for 10 years. Obviously some codes have changed by then. Think i'll do a job now without
up dating myself with the new codes ? NOT. Actually i'll not do the job.

Interview: Natalie Dickinson (She's Crushed)
What was your attraction to She's Crushed? I've always loved horror/thriller movies, and this one had a smart, interesting story. I loved how the writer (and director, Patrick Johnson) took a different approach – the audience sees the story unfold largely from Tara's perspective. So, as an actor, this was very attractive… It was fun to give the psycho chick some backstory and vulnerability – even in the midst of all the craziness. Aside from … Continue reading
Film Review: She's Crushed (2009)
SYNOPSIS: The morning after is acutely uncomfortable for Ray (Henrik Norlén), who engages in a one-night stand with innocent-looking Tara (Natalie Dickinson) and then tries to move on. Tara doesn't see things his way, and she takes lethal measures to keep the passion alive. In this horror-thriller directed by Patrick Johnson, tortured soul becomes torturing avenger as Tara sets about obliterating from Ray's life anyone who might compete for his attention.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Paul Burns 502-574-1683 [Office] Historic Shawnee Library ready to re-open after major expansion, renovation project Grand Opening Celebration this Saturday, September 10, 11a.m. Louisville, Ky. (September 6, 2011) – The Shawnee Library, located at 3912 West Broadway, celebrates the re-opening of its doors to the community Saturday, September 10, after 8 months of renovations. The $1.3 million project included a 6,000 square foot expansion, as well as extensive restoration of the original library structure - built in 1938 by the Works Progress Administration (WPA) during the Great Depression. "The new Shawnee Library is a valuable investment in the lifelong learning of this community," said Mayor Greg Fischer. "It's exciting to bring together the old and the new, to provide a library for the next seventy-five years." The new light-filled addition at the back of the facility provides a comfortable reading area for adults, study rooms, twenty additional public computers and a larger book collection. The original 7,000-square-foot historic building has been transformed to showcase a large children's area and a teen space, with plenty of room for kids to study and read. The entire project artfully combines the historic with the modern, creating a new, open floor-plan. "Our goal is to support the children and families in this neighborhood with state-of-the-art library resources that will supplement their schoolwork and provide constructive after-school opportunities," said Library Director Craig Buthod. "That's exactly what the new Shawnee Library delivers." The expansion and renovation of the Shawnee Library was funded through a federal Community Development Block Grant. In addition, the Library Foundation has provided new books, furniture, and technology, thanks to the generosity of donors, including The James Graham Brown Foundation, The C. E. & S. Foundation, The Gheens Foundation, and The Humana Foundation. Come celebrate the grand opening with Mayor Fischer and the community on Saturday, September 10, at 11 a.m. There will be tours of the library, refreshments, and fun activities for the whole family. At 12:30, Blaine Hudson, Merv Aubespin, and Ken Clay, will discuss their book Two Centuries of Black Louisville: A Photographic History. Then at 2 p.m., children and families are invited to a special "International Family Storytime" featuring the tales of Hans Christian Andersen and some Danish Pancakes. For more information, please visit LFPL.org or call 574-1611. Louisville Free Public Library connects the residents of Louisville and Jefferson County to knowledge and information at our 18 locations and on the Web at www.lfpl.org. Come on in, the whole world's inside. ###

As most of you probably know, I have two comic strips. I draw and co-write Unshelved with Gene Ambaum, and I write Not Invented Here, which is drawn by Jeff Zugale. Although we don't talk about it much, the two strips take place in the same universe. In fact NIH launched almost five years ago as a spinoff from Unshelved, drawn by NIH's original artist.
We decided to bring the two strips together again. Here's how it works:
You actually don't have to know any of this. Gene and I carefully wrote the Unshelved strips so that they stand alone, independent of the ongoing NIH plotline. But if you are up to date on NIH, you will have more depth of understanding. (The same is mostly true in reverse - NIH fans don't have to read the next two weeks of Unshelved, but it will help a lot of they do.)
Let the epic crossover begin!
