NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- New home construction rose more than expected in January, while the number of building permits issued in the month dropped, according to a government report issued Wednesday.
Construction of new homes climbed to an annual rate of 591,000 during the month, up 2.8% from December's revised rate of 575,000, the Commerce Department said. This is an increase of 21.1% from the 488,000 rate in January 2009.
Economists surveyed by Briefing.com expected January housing starts to rise to an annual rate of 580,000.
"We're continuing to see signs of stabilization," said real estate analyst Mike Larson of Weiss Research. "We had this Olympic ski slope-looking plunge starting in 2005 and 2006, and it looks like we're almost getting to the bottom of that."
Larson said that housing starts picked up in January as the new home supply dwindled.
"All the excess inventory that had built up has been exhausted, and when the supply gets so lean, builders start constructing homes again," he said.
The number of building permits issued during January fell to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 621,000. That was 4.9% below the revised December rate of 653,000, but up 16.9% from the January 2009 rate of 531,000.
Economists had expected building permits would fall to 620,000.
The decline in permits and gain in housing starts were each led by activity in the multi-family sector: Multi-family building permits plummetted 26% while starts jumped 17.6%.
Meanwhile, single-family housing starts and building permits were both up last month. Single-family starts climbed 1.5% from December and permits edged up 0.4%.
Larson said that the increase in single-family activity was an encouraging sign of stabilization, but with such a large supply of existing homes, "nothing suggests a vigorous upturn."
"I think we're going to be treading water in this range for some time," he said. "We're going to be making small gains or losses throughout 2010, we're not going to be making new lows or rebounding."

Facebook follows Twitter and Instagram's leads: Social network site to use clickable #hashtags
To some, its use perfectly encapsulates the abject lack of imagination required to use social media: include it before a word or phrase to become "part of the conversation". But now, in yet another sign that hashtags are the mass communication method of the future, Twitter's social networking rival Facebook has announced it is going to use them.
Mark Zuckerberg's social network said there had been "no simple way" to "see the larger view of what's happening and what people are talking about". It said that hashtags, which have often been used on Facebook without working, would now "be clickable", allowing users to indicate that their posts were part of the "larger discussion".
In its statement announcing the new feature, Facebook mentioned Instagram, Twitter, Tumblr and Pinterest's use of hashtags, but the move was widely seen as an effort to steal Twitter's thunder.
The site popularised the method of tagging content, but it was not the inventor of their popular use. That honour falls to Chris Messina, now a user experience designer on Google Plus, who in 2007 wanted to create a place to group different tweets and proposed using the symbol. "Guess I got my answer about who's next to adopt hashtags! Welcome to the #club @facebook!" he tweeted.
The announcement led to surreal scenes played on Twitter where #hashtag is trending.
Facebook's Greg Lindley said: "We'll continue to roll out more features in the coming weeks and months, including trending hashtags and deeper insights, that help people discover more of the world's conversations."

True story of Minerva, Patria, and Maria Teresa Maribal -- three sisters known in the Dominican Republic as "Las Mariposas" ("The Butterflies") -- who became freedom fighters rebelling against the dictatorial regime of Rafael Leonid Trujillo during the 1950s. Leaving a life of comfort, three of four Maribal sisters were persecuted, incarcerated many times, and finally brutally murdered as a result of their political activities in 1960. Following their deaths, the sisters became the inspiration for the revolution which resulted in Trujillo's assassination in 1961.

ChristmasYou are in: South Yorkshire > Christmas > Mission Christmas Dinner: the veg Organic vegetable box Mission Christmas Dinner: the vegSteph Barnard is on a mission to find a complete Christmas dinner. But it all has to be locally-produced. First up: the veg. Find out how she got on. The veg - River Swale Farm organic veg companyMary and Chris Watson run an organic fruit and veg company. They're based in Woodseats in Sheffield, but River Swale Farm itself is in North Yorkshire. Mary tells us all about the veg box business. :: So what can you expect to see from one of Swale Farm's veg boxes?Carrots and parsnips"We do seasonal veg throughout the year - there's all the stuff that you'd expect, as well as some you might not. People have rung us up before to ask what they should do with things like celeriac, which has a lovely mild celery flavour. It's brilliant mashed with potato or roasted in a tray of roast vegetables or in a casserole - it's really versatile. "Kohlrabi is also commonly asked about - it sounds very exotic but actually it's German for 'cabbage-turnip' I think. Its a funny looking sputnik-like vegetable. Again that's very versatile and can be steamed, boiled or roasted, made into gratin or made into a salad. Apparently you can also eat it raw like an apple! I think it's got a milder taste than a turnip." :: Brussels sprouts always cause some controversy..."Yes, some people love them, some people hate them - but you can guarantee they're going to turn up in your Christmas dinner whether you like it or not! In the Christmas box will be sprouts on their stalks which keeps them really fresh until the big day. :: Recipe: Brussel Sprouts with Bacon and Almonds"Parboil the sprouts until tender but not overcooked. Fry bacon and almonds gently in a little butter. Add sprouts and cook gently for 2-3 minutes, stirring. Remove from the heat and add double cream and zest of half a lemon. Return to the heat and cook for about four minutes to reduce to a thick sauce. You can then put them in a baking dish with gruyere cheese and pop under the grill. It'll convert the most ardent sprout hater!" :: Click on the 'Cold Turkey' link on the right of the page for more post-Christmas turkey suggestionslast updated: 21/12/2007 at 13:25 SEE ALSOYou are in: South Yorkshire > Christmas > Mission Christmas Dinner: the veg |

Lionel Messi on the verge of Barcelona goal record
Messi needs one goal to break Laszlo Kubala's scoring record at Barça, which has stood for over 50 years
Lionel Messi treads noiselessly onto the pitch at the Molinon as the sinking rays of the Asturian sun break weakly over the Tribuna Oeste. If he scores tonight, he will overtake Ladislao Kubala as the second highest goal-scorer in Barcelona's 112 year history.
The atmosphere inside the stadium is unusually subdued because the vast majority of the 30,000 attending fans are fraught with understandable anxieties.
Sporting de Gijon sit bottom of La Liga five games into the 2011-12 season and their prospects of impoving that predicament tonight are slim. Their visiting opponent is the exquisite tyrant of the Spanish and European scene, FC Barcelona, who arrive in Gijon buoyed by a 5-0 midweek away win over BATE Borisov in the Champions League.
All eyes are on Messi because he is the biggest threat to the home team's vulnerable defence, because he is the two-time World Player of the Year and because he has already scored 14 goals in 10 competitive appearances this season.
No one dreads the presence of La Pulga more than Manuel Preciado. Despite his Cantabrian roots, Preciado has sweated blood for the Sporting cause for more than five years. But the man who achieved promotion with the Rojiblancos back in 2008 is under greater scrutiny than ever after a dismal start to the campaign.
Historically speaking, Sporting's record against Barcelona at home is highly impressive. They have won 16, lost 12 and drawn 12 against the Catalan giants.
They were particularly effective against Johan Cruyff's 'Dream Team' of the early nineties, winning four and drawing one of their five league meetings between 1990 and 1995. Since then, they have failed to win on each of the six occasions when Barcelona have come to visit.
Away from home it is a different matter. The Asturians have won just once (1986-87) in Barcelona. On one particularly bitter day in February 1952, Laszlo Kubala hit seven goals against Sporting at Les Corts to equal Agustin Sauto Arana's record for the highest individual mark in a single game. It is a record which still stands today.
In 12 golden years at the club between 1950 and 1962, El Rubio Kubala scored 194 goals. A brace in the 5-0 win in Belarus on Wednesday brought Messi level on terms with the Barça myth.
Whether or not he scores against Sporting tonight, it is inevitable that the Argentine genius will not only surpass Kubala but also eclipse the great Cesar, whose record of 235 goals for Barcelona has stood since 1955. Injury permitting, Messi could double that tally.
In 1999, the year of Barcelona's centenary celebrations, Blaugrana fans voted Kubala the best player ever to follow in Joan Gamper's footsteps. Messi was 12 at the time. Were the vote to be recast now, the Hungarian-born forward might face stiffer competition.
There was a wonderful story published in El Mundo Deportivo this week in which Carles Kubala offered the only palpable connection which exists between the two greatest Barça players of all time.
Kubala snr ate, drank and breathed football right up until his death in 2002. The physically feeble specimen which was Leo Messi was inducted at La Masia in October 2000. One day some months after that, Laszlo came home with a twinkle in his eye. He had been on one of his frequent trips to the Mini Estadi, where Barcelona's youth team trained before the move to St Joan Despi.
Seeing his father's excitment, Carles asked him what was the cause of his brightened countenance. "I have seen an Argentine boy", he replied "who has left me dumbfounded".
Messi's pre-match demeanour is serious as usual. He kicks his feet and squints through narrow eyes. Before kick-off he indulges in a moment of intimate genuflection – a quick gesture of the fingers to the lips – then points to the sky. But Messi is not praying for a match-winning performance. He is giving thanks for all the great performances which have come before.
Elsewhere, no doubt, on some ethereal plain, Kubala pauses from his eternal game to return the gesture and, with the same generous spirit that accompanied him in life, happily abdicates his throne to his only truly worthy successor.

Detailed storage: An improving housing market will aid short-term industry recovery
IBISWorld's Cabinet & Vanity Manufacturing market research report is a comprehensive guide to market size and growth prospects. Our industry reports offer strategic industry analysis of the factors influencing companies, including new product developments, economic, lifestyle and demographic influences, distribution and supply chain factors and pricing issues. Full analysis accompanies our data forecasts to illustrate how the market responds to emerging industry trends.
During the five years to 2014, the Cabinet and Vanity Manufacturing industry fared poorly in the five years to 2014 because of shattered consumer confidence in the economy and slow residential housing expenditures due to the recession. Additionally, the steadily strengthening Canadian dollar made it cheaper for consumers to purchase imported cabinets and wood furniture products, thus adding to the marginal revenue growth over the period. In the five years to 2019, the industry is expected to moderatly expand, due to the recovery of the domestic and US housing markets. However, import competition will continue to grow because of the appreciating Canadian dollar... purchase to read more
Barriers to entry in the Cabinet and Vanity Manufacturing industry are medium. These barriers include buying and selling markets, entry costs and the availability of skilled labour.
Potential operators may be deterred from entering this industry by the well-established distribution networks among existing operators and suppliers. New entrants must establish upstream supply relationships with manufacturers and wholesalers (e.g. glass, lumber and plastics providers) to secure high-quality inputs at low prices. Such arrangements keep prices competitive and can act as barriers, with new entrants being restricted from using the same materials... purchase to read more

Drinking Coffee Elsewhere by Z Z Packer
It's a funeral, not a lesbian rally
She sounds like a cross between a grizzled Seventies rock trio and an Australian media mogul, she is a black writer (born in Chicago, raised in Atlanta) who sidesteps African-Americancentricity, and she has, on the strength of Drinking Coffee Elsewhere, won a $250,000 advance for her first novel. The eight short stories in this, Z Z Packer's debut volume, are about "Negroes", often from the Deep South, and there is many a racial and sexual confrontation. Yet each story has a universal, human dimension that subtly transcends the immediate subject.
"The Ant of the Self", ostensibly about the million-man march in Washington, focuses on a father and son. Neither wants to be at the rally. The father is there because he thinks it a likely market for the tropical birds he's trying to flog, the son is bullied into helping. In another story, a troop of Brownies on a summer camp contrive to feel offended by a neighbouring white group, until they discover that their "enemies" are borderline retarded. Only in the final story, "Doris is Coming", set in the early 1960s, does Packer broach the issue of civil rights. Even here, Doris's diffident, solitary stand in a whites-only diner represents a poignant moment of her personal development rather than any commitment to the movement.
Packer's perspective is that of the outsider, one whose personal experience flies in the face of local political or religious orthodoxies. In the title story, Dina, a solitary and abrasive Yale undergraduate, is coaxed into exploring her homosexuality by Heidi, an insecure white girl. As Heidi prepares to go home following her mother's death, a lesbian activist says reassuringly: "Vancouver's got a great gay community." "Oh, God," Dina retorts in disgust. "She's going to a funeral, not a Save the Dykes rally." In "Speaking in Tongues", a teenage girl spends compulsory prayers "thinking of a way to get to Atlanta". Only when she runs away and becomes vulnerable to the dangers of the real world does Tia take recourse in genuine prayer. (In the city she learns how people exploit their grievances. Despite her own destitution, she gives her comb to a vagrant who "argued that he was professionally homeless".)
God is ubiquitous: in the powerful Pentecostal churches of the Deep South, where His name is taken in vain by self-serving preachers; in the heart of a nurse who goads herself "to Persevere, put on the Strong Armor of God"; and in the author's throwaway similes. "The lights at downtown winked at her, the crescent moon like a castaway cuticle, discarded by God."
In "Every Tongue Shall Confess", Clareese Mitchell faithfully accepts the discrimination that frustrates her ambition to be a deacon - "Deacons, like pastors, were men". Indeed, even after suffering Deacon McCreedy's sexual abuse, Clareese's real fear is that the white dress she is obliged to wear in church will betray the onset of her period. Clareese is less concerned by her victimisation at the hands of man than by the burden placed on women by God.
The introspective heroes of this collection of still-life episodes are acute psychological studies drawn in lucid, elegant prose. As J Alfred Prufrock measured out his life with coffee spoons, so Dina measures out her fantasies in coffee cups. Ultimately the "Elsewhere" of the title means "among the people of the world", where people are unpredictable individuals who defy the herd's tribal mores. Packer's existential vision is all the more remarkable in the context of America's somewhat parochial cultural traditions, not least the prevailing norms of political correctness.

The sensitivity tells you how much signal you're going to get from your camera module for a given light level: specifically, if you expose your module to 1 lux for 1 second, it will generate 5000 electrons. (There's probably some spectral dependence there which is hopefully covered in more detail in the full datasheet).
The dark current tells you how much ...
The exact recipe will be a closely guarded trade secret for manufacturers but certain things hold true. Chipworks might give you some background that may help for specific cameras (or it might not).
The actual light captured and charge generated will always be the same at the sensor. There are multiple points where the results can be adjusted.
is there an analog amplifier between the sensor and the ADC whose gain is programmed to change when the ISO setting is changed
Quite often there is. It can be a multiplier after the ADC, too. Can be that gain does not change (Sigma/Foveon, some digital backs, some other cameras). Can be that it is not for all ISO settings, like "extended low ISO" on ...

Entourage hottie Adrian Grenier is putting his celebrity to good use. He, Oceana, GQ's Gentlemen Fund, and Nautica have joined forces to fight extermination of the bluefin tuna in the Atlantic. The population of these huge creatures has been reduced by nearly 82 percent as a result of overfishing.
Our hunger for sushi and sashimi might drive the species to extinction. Premium bluefin tuna can fetch upward of $100,000 each in Tokyo's Tsukiji Market. The majority that is caught is still being sent to Japan, but sushi and sashimi restaurants all over the world are also responsible. Fishermen are taking young bluefin out of the wild and fattening them in pens, preventing them from spawning. This practice is the biggest threat to the species' survival.
The BP oil spill damaged one of two spawning sites in this part of the world. Oceana and Grenier have created the campaign "Going Fast" in an attempt to bring awareness to the gravity of the situation.
"I couldn't sit back idly while this amazing predator is being pushed to the brink of extinction," Grenier said. "We are fishing bluefin at alarming rates, and now their spawning grounds are also threatened by the oil spill in the Gulf. We need to take action and keep the bluefin from going fast."

British Energy could raise £400m with sale of Canadian generator
British Energy, the crisis-torn nuclear electricity generator, yesterday disclosed that it is in talks to sell its Canadian nuclear operations to ease its financial plight.
Analysts estimate that the Ontario-based Bruce Power business could fetch up to C$1bn (£402m). British Energy owns 82 per cent of Bruce Power and has an 18-year lease to operate its four reactors.
The potential buyer of the business is a Canadian consortium consisting of British Energy's existing partner in Bruce, Cameco, the Calgary-based pipeline company Trans-Canada and an investment bank called Borealis.
Cameco, the world's largest supplier of uranium, already has a 15 per cent stake in Bruce.
British Energy said that if the sale went ahead, the proceeds would be used to repay the £650m credit facility the Government gave the company in September to prevent it from becoming insolvent.
The loan facility expires in two weeks and unless a long-term restructuring of British Energy has been agreed, then the company could be put into administration.
Industry observers were split on what the implications of the Bruce sale might be. Some sources close to British Energy suggested it meant the company and the Government might be inching closer to an agreement.
One source said: "If British Energy is to survive then everybody has got to take some pain. In order to keep on the straight and narrow, the company is having to sell off some of the family silver."
However, other sources suggested British Energy might be attempting to rush through the sale of Bruce before it is placed in administration. Under the terms of its nuclear operating licence, British Energy would forfeit its interest in Bruce if it went into receivership.
British Energy paid C$650m for its stake in Bruce three years ago. Last financial year it contributed £42m in profits and this year analysts expect it to make £92m.
British Energy has already announced that it is considering selling its stake in another North American business, Amergen, which owns part of the Three Mile Island complex. Amergen is a 50:50 joint venture between British Energy and Elexon of the US.

US 2905474 A Abstract available in Claims available in Description (OCR text may contain errors) Sept. 22, 1959 JAHR l 2,905474 PUSH PEG PUZZLE Filed Aug. 10, 1955 1 Fig. 2 Marwh A Jahr 1 I BY m AT'TORNEY INVENTOR United States Patent PUSH PEG PUZZLE Marvin A. Jahr, St. Paul, Minn. Application August 10, 1955, Serial N0. 527,461 8 Claims. (Cl.273-153) This invention relates to a toy puzzle. More particularly the invention concerns an intriguing peg toy puzzle for finger operation in aligning a multiplicity of apertures ;inoif-set relationship to properly position a multiplicity of pegs in the aligned ofi-set apertures. A feature of the present invention is to provide an intr iguingtoy for children which is easy to understand and simple to operate, yet provides the child with amusement and training in the use of his fingers and exercise of judgment and patience in solving a puzzle toy. Another feature of this invention is to provide an in- .triguing finger operable peg toy puzzle With multiple pegs zle toy formed of a plurality of apertured blocks in stacked relation about a pivot point and provided with a plurality of finger operable pegs movable into and out of the apertures when properly aligned but self-locking t o prevent complete withdrawal frorn the apertures in the blocks in their stacked relationship. Further features, objects and advantages will be apparent from the following description of the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 is a side elevational view of the toy showing extending through aligned openings. Figure 2 is an explocled perspective of the toy. Figure 3 is a top plan view of the toy in modified forrn showing an aligned relationship of the parts thereof. In the following description like parts Will be similarly indicated. The toy ernbodied in this description includes a multiplicity of stacking blocks which are illustrated by a base section 10, an intermediate section 11 and a top section 12., Bach of the diflerent sections has a plurality of aligned apertures therein in oiT-set relationship and insertable pegs, as hereinafter described. The base block seotion 10 comprises preferably a rounded block 13 having an upright peg 14 formed therewith or seated and wedged or secured in a centered aperture l5. A plurality of spaced apertures 16, 17, 18 and 19 are countersunk in seemingly balanced relationship, fromthe peripheral edge of base 10, but actually have about one-sixteenth inch side displacement from the outer periphery of base 10 With respect to their independent relationshipWith one another. These apertures inbloek 10 are cooperatively aligned With the different apertures in blocks 11 and 12, hereinafter describe'd, and as provided in the arrangement shown in Figure 2. all of the openings in alignment and with the peg 34 or more 2ipertured'block elements illustrated as preferably the rounded block 21 having the centered aperture 22 therethrough. The aperture 22 permits block 21 to slide over peg 14 and seat on block 13 in a freely pivotal relationship therevvith. A plurality of spaced apertures 23, 24, 25 and 26 extend all the way through block 21 and are ofl-set in the exact manner as the countersunk apertures 16, 17, 18 and 19, in base block 10, so that they are aligned when in the relative Position as illustrated in Figure 2. (I'he top section 12 is preferably a rounded block 28 cf the Same size and general configuration of the blocks 13 and 21. -I'he block 28 is also provided with a center aperture 29 for pivotally mounting the block 28 on peg 14. A plurality of apertures 30, 31, 32 and 33 extend throligh the block 28 in a spaced relationship. This relationship exactly corresponds to the spacing and positioning of the like apertures in blocks 13 and 21 when turned into an aligned position for proper entry of the finger operating sliding or reciprocating keys or pegs 34, 35, 36, and 37, in the manner as hereinafter described. A groove 39 is out into and about the outside peripheral edge 40 of block 28- and holds a peg retaining spring 41. Bach of the pegs 34, 35, 36 and 37 are provided with a shoulder 43, as illustrated in Figures 1 and 2. Inasmuch as all the Slip pegs, a s herein described are provided Wtih sirnilar shoulderS 43 which operate alike, only' one is described in detail. The shoulder 43is forrnedby reducing or cutting down, for example, the diaineter of the peg 35 at the point 44 adjacent its end 45. The end 45 is of the Same diameter as the Stern portion of the slip peg 35 so that the whole of the peg slides through the proper apertures 31, 24 and into 17 when they are in proper alignment. As the slip peg 35 and other like pegs are attempted to be Withdrawn from block 28, the spring 41 rides into the reduced diameter portions 44 and locks against sirnilar shoulders 43 in each of the slip pegs as herein described. When the blocks 21 and 28 are mounted over upright 14, in the ma imer shown in Figure 1 a cap 45 is glued, wedged or othe'rwise secured over the end of .upright 14. The cap 45 holds the end sections 10 and 12 in loose fitting or freely pivotal relationship relative to the intermediate section 11. Thus in the illustrated arrangement the respective end sections 10 and 12 can be independently turned relative to the intermediatesection 11 When the slide pegs 34, 35, 36 and 37 are mounted in block 28 and Withdrwn to the point at which shoulders 43 are locked against complete withdrawal by spring 41. As shown in Figure 1, the slip peg 34 and the balance of the slip pegs, as herein described, are longer than the depth of the aligned apertures in order to provide for finger manipulation. When the outside block sections 10 and 12 are mounted with an intermediate sec'tion 11 on a standard or supporting pos t 14 With the relative set or grup of apertures 30, 23 and 16 in alignment, then the balance of the relative set or group of apertures 31, 24 and 17, set o1. group 32, 25 and 18, and set or group 33, 26 and 19 are also aligned to pr0perly receive the pegs 34, 35, 36 and 37, respectively. With all {the pegs 34, 35, 36 and 37 withdrawn until shoulders 43 are engaged by spring 41 in the manner illustrated by.pegs 35, 36 and 37, as shown in Figure 1, the blo'ck sections 10, 11 andl2 can be independently rotated to misalign the relative sets or groups of apertures, as described. Ihereafter the problem is to realign all the v relative sets or groups in order t o push the pegs 34 35, ' The intermediate section 11 is representative of one 36 and 37 all the way down into apert ures 16, 17, 18 and 19, respectively. As illustrated in the top view shown in Figure 3, the structure therein, represented by top block section 28, is a similar st'acking arrangement, as described, -with the 3 aligned aperture groups o1 sets represented by the numbers 47, 48, 49 and 50. These aperture sets are drilled as a group in a relatively different oif-set relationship. The aperture gmups representeri by the nuxnbers 47 and 48 are dri lied in o he body cf the block. secfions ata Sligli tlY greater iiistance vfrbrn the block peripheries than the aperture groups 53 and 54. The pegs 51, 52, 53 and 54 are construoted in a manner similar to theheretofore described pegs 34, 35, 36 and 37, With the exeeption of the stem. sec io.n eing provided witl 1 groeves 55"56 57 and 58, respectiveljr. These grooves 55, 56, 57 and 58 serve as retaining guides for pin ends 60, 61, 62 and 63 Which are driven into the side of top section 28',and spring 41. Whe n one 01 more of the aperture groups 47, 48, 49 and 50 are not in ali gnment the relative block section or sectidrxs must be turned until realignment is obtained to properlypush each of the pegs 51, 52, 53 and 54 evenly into the block sections By preventing the withdrawal of the sliding pegs, as described, the relative Positioning of the apertures, as described, cannot be seen. For simplification of the problem ofalignment one of the ets or groups of apertures, for exarnplegroup 47 with its respective peg 51 and pin Stop 60, can be dispensed with and only the rernaining three sets o1 groups of apertures 48, 49 and 50 drilled in an oflset relationship, to provide the problem of aperture alignrnent for properly reeeiving pegs 52, 53 and 54 thereinto in the marmer described. Any misalignment of the apertures by rotation of one or more of the apertured block sections will prevent the proper entry of any one or more of the pegs into any one or more of the block sections. Otherwise in the arrangement shown in Figure 2, the block 13 may be a statiqnary base with an upri ght 14 upon which the seotions 11 and 12 are ielat ively pivotally rnonted for alignment of pegs or keys 34, 35 36 and 37 in spaced relative apertures 23, 24, 25 and 26. For economy in manufacture the toy structure described herein is preferably formed of wood. However, it will be re co gnized that the structure can be a molded plastic, metal 0r a,;;ombination of these materials.

The Disneyland Story presenting Sorta Great Moments with Ramone attraction, which recently celebrated its flowery anniversary
