"We're tired of Republican whining.
Republican Sen. Jim DeMint has left the Transportation Security Administration leaderless by delaying President Barack Obama's nomination for a new director -- while we are under attack. Republican Rep. Jason Chaffetz is fighting against the use of full body scanning devices at our airports because he thinks they show too much of the human body. Instead of attacking our president, it would be nice if Republicans would just get out of the way."

i had a picture (my first!) published in the May 2013 issue of Backpacker Magazine :)
i'm really excited although i look a little smug in this photo. i don't like to get the regular "smile" photo taken. hence i usually make a face.
The Postcard
An Art Colour postcard that was published by Valentine & Sons Ltd. of Dundee and London. The artwork was by E. H. Thompson, Lakeland Artist.
On the back of the card the publishers have printed:
"We shall continue steadfast
in faith and duty till our task
is done"
- The Prime Minister.
The quote is from Winston Churchill's speech given to allied delegates at St. James's Palace on June 12th, 1941. The speech runs as follows:
'Our air power will continue to teach the
German homeland that war is not all loot
and triumph.
We shall aid and stir the people of every
conquered country to resistance and revolt.
We shall break up and derange every effort
which Hitler makes to systematize and
consolidate his subjugations.
He will find no peace, no rest, no halting place,
no parley. And if, driven to desperate hazards,
he attempts invasion of the British Isles, as well
he may, we shall not flinch from the supreme
trial.
With the help of God, of which we must all feel
daily conscious, we shall continue steadfast in
faith and duty till our task is done.'
Information is also provided relating to the artwork:
Honister Crag and Pass -
The high road between
Borrowdale and Buttermere
Valley.
The lake seen is Crummock
Water. Buttermere is hidden
by the shoulder of the Crag.'
The card was posted in Ambleside using two 1d. stamps on Thursday the 24th. August 1944. It was sent to:
Miss Coe,
16, Victoria Street,
Wolverton,
Bucks.
The message on the divided back of the card was as follows:
"Smallwood Hotel,
Ambleside.
24/ 8/ 44.
Having a good time,
weather not too bad.
Haven't been here yet
but hope to go next
week.
Love,
Win."
Eighty years later, the Smallwood House Hotel is still going strong.
The Liberation of Paris
So what else happened on the day that Win posted the card?
Well, in the evening of the 24th. August 1944, forces of Free France were the first of the Allies to enter Paris.
USS Harder
Also on that day, the American submarine USS Harder was depth charged and sunk in Dasol Bay by Japanese warships.
The Sinking of a U-Boat
Also on that day, German submarine U-445 was depth charged and sunk in the Bay of Biscay by the frigate HMS Louis.
A Massacre in France
Also on the 24th. August 1944, at Buchères in France, men of the 51st. SS-Brigade massacred 68 civilians. Half of the victims were women, ranging in age from 6 months to above seventy years.
A Computer for Harvard
Also on that day, the Harvard Mark I electro-mechanical computer, developed and built by IBM, was formally presented to Harvard University.
Gregory Jarvis
The day also marked the birth in Detroit of Gregory Jarvis.
Gregory was an engineer and astronaut who died in 1986 in the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster.
-- The Explosion of the Challenger
On the 28th. January 1986, the Space Shuttle Challenger broke apart 73 seconds into its flight, killing all seven crew members aboard.
The spacecraft disintegrated 46,000 feet (14 km) above the Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of Cape Canaveral, Florida, at 11:39 a.m. EST. It was the first fatal accident involving an American spacecraft while in flight.
The mission was the 10th. flight for the orbiter and the 25th. flight of the Space Shuttle fleet. The crew was scheduled to deploy a communications satellite and study Halley's Comet while they were in orbit, in addition to taking schoolteacher Christa McAuliffe into space under the Teacher In Space program.
The latter task resulted in a higher-than-usual media interest in and coverage of the mission; the launch and subsequent disaster were seen live in many schools across the United States.
The cause of the disaster was the failure of the primary and secondary O-ring seals in a joint in the shuttle's right solid rocket booster (SRB). The record-low temperatures on the morning of the launch had stiffened the rubber O-rings, reducing their ability to seal the joints.
Shortly after liftoff, the seals were breached, and hot pressurized gas from within the SRB leaked through the joint and burned through the aft attachment strut connecting it to the external propellant tank (ET), then into the tank itself.
The collapse of the ET's internal structures and the rotation of the SRB that followed threw the shuttle stack, traveling at a speed of Mach 1.92, into a direction that allowed aerodynamic forces to tear the orbiter apart.
Both SRBs detached from the now-destroyed ET and continued to fly uncontrollably until the range safety officer destroyed them.
The crew compartment, human remains, and many other fragments from the shuttle were recovered from the ocean floor after a three-month search-and-recovery operation.
The exact timing of the deaths of the crew is unknown, but several crew members are thought to have survived the initial breakup of the spacecraft.
The orbiter had no escape system, and the impact of the crew compartment at terminal velocity with the ocean surface was too violent to be survivable.
The disaster resulted in a 32-month hiatus in the Space Shuttle program. President Ronald Reagan created the Rogers Commission to investigate the accident. The commission criticized NASA's organizational culture and decision-making processes that had contributed to the accident.
Test data since 1977 demonstrated a potentially catastrophic flaw in the SRBs' O-rings, but neither NASA nor SRB manufacturer Morton Thiokol had addressed this known defect.
NASA managers also disregarded engineers' warnings about the dangers of launching in cold temperatures, and did not report these technical concerns to their superiors.
As a result of this disaster, NASA established the Office of Safety, Reliability, and Quality Assurance, and arranged for deployment of commercial satellites from expendable launch vehicles rather than from a crewed orbiter.
To replace Challenger, the construction of a new Space Shuttle orbiter, Endeavour, was approved in 1987, and the new orbiter first flew in 1992. Subsequent missions were launched with redesigned SRBs, and their crews wore pressurized suits during ascent and reentry.
Note: Could they not have enclosed the Challenger in a plastic shroud which could have been heated? Given the cost of the whole venture in terms of money and lives, the additional expenditure would have been trivial.
a very unusual editorial collaboration was published in BOHO magazine's Autumn 2010 issue - Stacey Appel's fashion illustrations + my photographs from a multitude of travels, including Iceland!

国立歴史民俗博物館で観た、日本の印刷技術についての展示。
当初は1枚の板から木版を削りだしていたが、そのうち活字を組み替える活版印刷の技術が登場。しかし結局木版に逆戻りしたのだそうな。確かに、26文字しかないアルファベットと違って、日本語や中国語の印刷原稿を組み替えるのは大変・・・
This photograph was published in the Illustrated Chronicle August 1916.
During the Great War the Illustrated Chronicle published photographs of soldiers and sailors from Newcastle and the North East of England, which had been in the news. The photographs were sent in by relatives and give us a glimpse into the past.
The physical collection held by Newcastle Libraries comprises bound volumes of the newspaper from 1910 to 1925. We are keen to find out more about the people in the photographs. If you recognise anyone in the images and have any stories and information to add please comment below.
This photo was chose by Century Link to be published on the front cover of the Superior, WI 2010/2011 Phonebook/Directory.
Photo is of the bridge that connects Duluth, MN & Superior, WI. As seen from the Duluth side.

EQUINE BOOKENDS
Horses need good quality hay in winter.
Published in 1935 by the London and North Eastern Railway, this fascinating pop-in-your-pocket guide book covers the entire route of the Flying Scotsman from London Kings Cross to Edinburgh Waverley and then beyond to Glasgow Queen Street, Fort William and Mallaig on one side and on the eastern side to Dundee, Aberdeen, Nairn and Inverness. The route us described in detail and illustrated with coloured railway maps throughout also plenty of half-tones of the most important sites to be seen along the way.
The vibrant coloured card covers are a superb example of Ar Deco design. They were rather dog-eared, so I've tidied up the images around the edges for your delectation & delight.
This survivor turned up yesterday (April 2025) after 89 years at a local model railway exhibition for a laughably small fee.
I took photos of the campus buildings for the RSM Mobile iPhone app (for the development of which I also was the project manager). This shows a selection of four - out of a total of 17.

Bit of ego inflation here.
Three of my photos were published in the Moon Handbooks: Tennessee, 6th Edition (Published 2013). I used an earlier version of the same book for my Tennessee travels. They are the Lorraine Motel Sign on page 33 (top), the Memphis Pyramid on page 38 and the Sun Studios Front Office on page 39. All of these are from Memphis, Tennessee.
