16 sc = 4 in. (10 cm). When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. The needle or hook size called for in the pattern is based on what the designer used, but it is not unusual for gauge to vary from person to person. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make your swatch, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles. Making a Gauge Swatch

Just an aside, regarding "duality", I sometimes think that it could be possible, if values were always sets of values, to avoid UNGROUP entirely and its distortion of certain single attribute relations. Projection might even be a special case of a GROUP that operated on sets. But this is just my peculiar view that conventional experts are likely to call twisted if not wacky.

I found an article on Project Linus in Newsday. Project Linus delivers blankets to hospitals for preemies, young children, etc. who are hospitalized and need a little "something special". When I went to the website, I found that they recommended Lion Brand's site for patterns for blankets. I was very impressed by the e-mail I received from Hilary Roberts, the president of Project Linus. I completed the first baby blanket and sent it to them, and I was so thrilled to hear that as soon as my blanket came in, it was re-packed and sent out to a hospital for the children's unit. It is a very fulfilling feeling to know that I have done something for someone else.

Find more friends on orkut
Friday, March 14, 2008 | 2:45 PM
Vidya Rangasayee Narayan, Software Engineer
Have you discovered that you have more friends on orkut through our find friends feature on Gmail, but wished you could do the same with other address books? Do you use a non-Gmail account and feel left out and unable to find your friends? Though we prefer Gmail ourselves, we understand that you may have other email accounts. That's why now you can find friends from address books on Yahoo, Hotmail and AOL.
Just choose the email provider (Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail or AOL) from the drop down, and enter the user name and password for your email account.* Orkut will then show you the contacts from your address book and denote those who are already on orkut, so you can add them to your (ever growing) list of friends. For contacts who aren't on orkut yet, you can invite them in bulk.
If your email provider is not on the list, don't feel left out, we're working on adding more.
*The email provider list is not country specific, so find your friends no matter where you are, or where they are. For example, if you have a hotmail.com.in email address, simply select "hotmail" from the drop down. Remember, orkut values your privacy and security and will never store your password nor transmit it over non-secure channels.

Steampunk is finding new ways everyday to combine the past with the future in an aesthetic yet very freakish way. The design of Steampunk accessories looks centuries old even at the same time it has some futuristic designs incorporated into it. It acts as a bridge between designs of the past and the future. Let us now take a look at 15 Steampunk home accessories which combines in itself the scientific romanticism of the Victorian era with our future requirements.
Steampunk Wall Lamp:
This Steampunk lamp has been created by Art Donovan, an artist and museum curator based in NYC. He specializes in creating hand crafted custom lighting and illuminated sculptural objects for his own company Donovan Design. Created with the use of brass, cast bronze, handcarved wood and blown glass, art Donovan's Steampunk oil lamp recreates the Victorian era memories quite wonderfully.
Steampunk Work Desk:
The Steampunk work desk is another crazy creation in this segment. The desk easily looks like a desk out of a Shakespearean era but don't get fooled by it. It is packed with modern gadgets like a fully functional PC, LCD screens, web cameras etc. It also has a Victorian era keyboard in the front to go with the computers.
iRetrofone Steampunk – Black/Gold:
This Steampunk iRetrofone have been hand sculptured by artist Scott Freeland. It has very detailed work and has been hand painted for desired effect. Each of the phone have been hand-cast in urethane resin. As far as the functionality of these iRetrofones are concerned they have a fully-functional, stationary iPhone dock with working handset and complete compatibility with USB cable. It has a heavy-duty base made from half-inch thick urethane resin which creates a functional and stable work station. All the voice communication is routed through the handset. It has been designed to be compatible with all versions of iPhones.
Steampunk stove:
This Steampunk stove is actually known as Steam Powered Food Preparation Device and Instant Hot Water Receptacle. The stove has three burners which can be used to carry out for all types of heating and cooking works. This stove is said to be created by Dr. Thaddeus Robertson of Deb's Minis. It is said to be capable of providing scientifically precise heating to prepare foods at the quickest of time. The cooking temperatures can be controlled with a turn of a dial. Hot water can always be taken from the tap located on the right side of the stove.
Steampunk Mirror/Picture Frame:
This Steampunk mirror/picture frame has a dimension of 16″ H x 10″ W x 3.25″ D. As the name itself points out that it either be used as a mirror or a glass frame. The mirror frame is made from forged and fabricated steel with natural, heated, and melted brass finish.

Elektra belle epoque coffee machine:
This piece of Steampunk machine looks like a Victorian robot, but it is in fact a coffee machine. It is available in brass and copper as well as in chrome. The design of the machine has been done in true Steampunk style. It has porthole styled water viewpoints and various Victorian era knobs and dials for making coffee of your choice. Having this "monstrous" coffee machine will definitely come in handy as far as coffee making is concerned.

This steampunk desk has been designed by artist Dale Mathis where he successfully blends art with functionality. The gears that are visible on the desk all work according to their assigned functions and helps make the desk fully functional.

Homemade Steampunk lamp:
Designed by Michael Pusateri this Steampunk Lamp looks like a piece of light that must have been there during the Victorian era. The design of the light is pretty simple and unlike some other steampunk creations it is not clumsy and overdone. In fact this piece of steampunk creation excels in its simplicity. The base is made out of a old wooden cigar box with two 60 watt bulbs standing on it.
Steampunk hood:
The design of this steampunk hood is rustic and it captures the steampunk feel perfectly. Made from beaten iron and brass, it is riveted just like it would have been done in the old days. In fact the exposed rivets gives that rustic look that at times even the finest steampunk designs misses out on.
Steampunk Fireplace:
This steampunk fireplace is another example of remarkable piece of steampunk style art. The design of the fireplace has that old feel to it with the "Victorian" door. Above this the fireplace is equipped with a not so Victorian LCD TV which will provide some much needed entertainment to the people getting warm from the heat of the fireplace.

to a complete standstill. There are no placements and no trading."
Rates on three-month commercial paper, which businesses use to raise short-term funding, have jumped 400 basis points to around 12.4 percent since mid July. Scarcely any new commercial paper has been issued since July, traders said.
Economists fear India will be forced to slow down for several reasons, not just because businesses are starved of capital. As authorities push for import controls and higher duties to crimp imports and therefore bring the current account deficit down, there would be consequences for the economy.
"We maintain that India's GDP growth is headed for a far steeper decline than the already muted expectations, as the impact of the currency, current account-deficit-related damage has barely started," Jefferies said in a note this week.
If the current account deficit, currently 4.8 percent of GDP, was reduced by 300 basis points, "India's GDP could head to sub 1-to-2 percent growth with massive pain likely for banks," Jefferies said.

Since it's traditional to strip of all non-essentials in the summer, I gave my bike a "summer makeover." Vide:
It is fun to ride and catches lots of attention on the bike path. I don't know the weight, but it's still a heavy-duty, clydesdale-type bike that can put up with lots of potholes and a heavy rider. The "upside-down moustache" bars make for an upright, but comfortable position when on the bar ends, and a "racing stretch" position when in the bends. So far, I think I like these better than my road bars! Time will tell.

Foreigners who stroll the green landscapes of Sydney Park, Australia today have no idea that the site used to be a municipal dump.
The land, like so much of the immediate New South Wales coastal region, has a history involving transported convicts from England. The land the park now resides on was originally granted to a convict woman and was used to raise crops. It became an industrial brick works during the 19th century.
When the brickworks closed, the numerous clay pits were filled with municipal waste (1948 to 1976). The site was known as "St. Peter's tip."
Landscape architect Laurie Johnson told the Sydney Morning Herald that when people started talking about making the site a park back in the '80s, the New South Wales government thought it important to preserve some of the site's history.
And that is what has transpired. The park is unmistakable with its silhouettes of the old industrial chimneys, and the kiln area. The former 65-ft. deep brick pits were transformed into three tall grassy hills that provide great views of the city skyline.
At 109 acres, the park is the largest in Sydney and is connected by about 7.5 miles of pathways. A large, level green area, the Alan Davidson Oval, is used for cricket and Australian Rules football games. A large children's playground opened in 2008. Wetlands and water run from the park center to the southeastern corner.
Most of the vegetation on site was planted by community efforts in the early '90s. The park has gardens and 28,000 native trees that include 277 Port Jackson and Moreton Bay fig trees. Fifty types of mammals, native birds, frogs and reptiles make the park home.
The park is important green space for the city, as Sydney has the highest density of any city in Australia.
Sydney celebrated the park's 21st birthday on Feb. 11, 2012 with free coffee and cupcakes on the village green.

Bonefish--Great Exuma or Grand Bahama?
I am going to the Bahamas next spring, I decided. I want a nice resort for my wife while I fish. I have heard good things about the Pinders as guides in Grand Bahama and the fishing, but have not heard much nice about Grand Bahama itself. I would stay in one of the Port Lucaya resorts. The other option is Grand Exuma. I have heard nice things in general about this island, and would probably stay at Grand Isle Resort. But know little about quality of the guides and fishing.
Any help on my choice--fishing, guides, and islands in general as a place to visit??? Thanks!!

Comments about Mel Bay Easiest Drumset Book:
In 1993, My father bought this book for me after I begged him. It was one of the best things he ever did for me. This book teaches the very basics of drumming, which is exactly what a beginner needs. It breaks the basics down to the simplest terms. It teaches how to read drum music, but also teaches various ways to remember the patterns, which helps the novice drummer to learn how to play by ear and by reading. I was playing consistent beats within weeks and in a few months was getting the attention of the neighborhood musicians. Less than 2 years later I was competing and winning in drumming contests, talent shows, and local & high school bands. Granted, this book did not make me a good drummer, lots of practice and more advanced learning aids really helped, but this book provided the strong foundation that I needed to begin, and without that, I would have given up like I did other instruments before this. I began teaching drums on the side in 1999 and I use this book for my students. I am now buying it for my 7 year old so, because it is simple enough for anyone who can follow simple directions. I recommend this book for any beginner. Any learning drummer is going to have to eventually buy other books and learning aids to learn more complex things like different rudiment, fill-ins, and double bass, but all good drumming begins with the basics, and this book is (in my opinion) better than any other one out there for those basics.

What to Eat at the Lobster Place, Now Serving Oyster Po' Boys and Beer in Chelsea Market
You can get both sushi and a hot dog, too.
After three months of renovations, the Lobster Place reopened in Chelsea Market last week. The market has always been great for takeout, but the new-and-improved space is better suited for eating in house. There's now a sushi bar with a daily omakase selection, a standing oyster bar, and an entire department devoted to lobster. Even better: For the first time, the Lobster Place will sell beer and sake. New grab-and-go sandwiches include an Ipswich belly roll, an oyster po' boy, and a traditional Maine hot dog. Take a look at the warm-weather-friendly food, straight ahead.
The Lobster Place, 75 Ninth Ave., nr. 16th St., 212-255-5672

The Kardashians
Kim and Kourtney Kardashian and Kris Jenner Helicopter Into NYC For Church
Kris Jenner may have recently bemoaned her family's former financial woes, but it looks like the Kardashian momager's money troubles are, unquestionably, a thing of the past.
Kris and daughters Kourtney and Kim Kardashian were, quite literally, flying high over the weekend, when the pair chartered a helicopter to take them into New York City for a church service at the Hammerstein Ballroom.
The family, has been jetting back and forth between NYC, Los Angeles, and Southampton, where Kourtney and sister Khloe Kardashian have been filming Kourtney and Khloe Take the Hamptons. On Sunday, they made a stop into the city to visit Pastor Rich Wilkerson, Jr., who performed Kim and Kanye's wedding ceremony back in May.
Following the service, Kim, Kourtney, and friends posed with the handsome hipster pastor for a photo that Kim later posted to her Instagram account.
"The family that prays together stays together. Such a great service tonight @richwilkersonjr #Church," wrote Kim.
Rich reposted the photo with the caption, "Had the whole gang in church tonite. Jesus is alive and he is moving. The best is yet to come."
The family has been vocal about their Christian beliefs in the past, with Kim publicly declaring that her faith is always at the forefront of her mind, tweeting, "Jesus is my top priority."

We all went, and were planning on enjoying the gardens before going to a pumpkin patch. Because the kids were all dressed alike (in pumpkin shirts), we were asked to pay a $300 photography fee, even though we just wanted to take a few fun pictures in front of the flowers. I've seen hundreds of people there with cameras, often taking pictures of families. I'm not sure why we were insulted in this manner, but I never want to go there again.

Sixty children have been removed from their homes under the direction of Gov. Jan Brewer's child-welfare team charged with examining thousands of uninvestigated reports of neglect and abuse. Yet the team's leader said he doesn't know the nature of the allegations that required the children to be separated from their parents.
An additional 325 children whose cases were among the 6,554 files marked "not investigated" have also been removed since the fiasco at Child Protective Services became public in late November. However, most of those removals happened after a second or third complaint came in to the agency's hotline, raising the question of whether the children might have been safer if the agency had responded to earlier reports.
"It tells us these cases should have been investigated initially and should not have been (marked) NI," said Charles Flanagan, head of Brewer's Child Advocate Response Examination Team. "It tells us the child is not safe in that (home) environment."
Brewer assembled the team of child-welfare workers, lawmakers and law enforcement after the "NI" files were discovered.
Flanagan said it is difficult to report the reasons the children were removed from their homes — and whether they're still under state care — while the team is still plowing through the 6,554 cases. That would take time away from Brewer's mandate that the team put "eyes" on every child mentioned in the files. The process also is complicated by what Flanagan called an "antiquated" database that is difficult to work with.
However, when the team has completed its work, there will be a report categorizing the reasons for removal, he said. The team has a Jan. 31 deadline to finish reviewing all the cases and give Brewer a report on how the child-welfare system can best move forward.
However, it will take longer than that to investigate all the cases the team decides need a deeper look.
Many of the neglected files involved cases that were categorized as lower-priority calls by staffers on the state's child-abuse hotline. But others clearly were more urgent, Flanagan said, noting that 119 cases required an immediate response, based on notes in the case files.
In addition, 18 percent of the neglected files involved children who were the subject of later reports that resulted in at least 316 children being removed. Flanagan's team had checked on 3,873 children as of its latest report Wednesday evening. It has assigned 91 percent of them to caseworkers and has responded to 48.4 percent of the "NI" cases, he said.
Flanagan said his team has provided more detail on child abuse and neglect cases than Child Protective Services did in the past. That is due largely to Brewer's demand that the team conduct its work in a transparent manner, which has resulted in daily progress reports.
But there are limits. The database in which child-abuse and neglect reports are logged is creaky, and caseworkers must come into the office to enter data. It's impossible to work with the database remotely, Flanagan said. Even if that were possible, the database program was not written in a way that would give staffers the information they need, he said.
Brewer on Monday announced that she had abolished CPS and moved the division, which housed the agency, to her Cabinet, with Flanagan in charge. She renamed it the Division of Child Safety and Family Services and wants it to be a stand-alone state agency.

PUBLISHED November 23, 2011 0 1 / 5 Hooked Shark A rusted hook protrudes from a blue shark's lower jaw off the coast of Rhode Island in the grand prize shot of Marine Photobank's 2011 Ocean in Focus Conservation Photo Contest.Marine Photobank's mission is to advance ocean conservation by providing free, high-quality marine pictures to media and noncommercial outlets. For this photo contest, Marine Photobank was looking for powerful images that "illuminate the many threats facing our ocean." (The National Geographic Society, which owns National Geographic News, donated prizes for the contest winners.)The shark in the photograph was accidentally caught in a longline, a fishing method that often results in harvests of unwanted marine species. (Take an ocean-issues quiz.)During an expedition in July 2011, photographer Terry Goss saw many other sharks with embedded hooks or with cuts and marks from hooks, lines, and nets."One shark had several plastic box ties wrapped tightly around his body, and another looked to be recently recovering from having his jaw ripped open—practically to the gill slits," Goss said in a statement.What does Goss want people to take away from his winning picture? "Sharks rule," and "it's such a shame he's injured."(See pictures of last year's marine-conservation winners.) Photograph courtesy Terry Goss, Marine Photobank Tuna Transport Frozen tuna are transferred from a fishing vessel to a carrier vessel in the Indian Ocean in a picture that won an honorable mention in the 2011 ocean photo contest.Many species of tuna are being overfished, particularly giant bluefin tuna, which can grow to 12 feet (3.7 meters) in length, weigh 1,500 pounds (680 kilograms), and live for 30 years.Giant bluefin once migrated by the millions throughout the Atlantic Basin and the Mediterranean Sea, but the fish are now experiencing significant declines. By the mid-1990s, stocks of southern bluefin tuna had been fished to between 6 and 12 percent of their original numbers in the South Pacific and Indian Oceans.(Get more facts about overfishing.)

Game of Thrones
Game of Thrones Season 4: 5 Best Moments From the Premiere
The Game of Thrones Season 4 premiere (Season 4 Episode 1, "Two Swords"), packed in a ton of information and characters. Almost everything that happened kept us on the edge of our seats, but some moments stood out more than others.
Here's our picks for the best moments of the episode.
Oberyn. Perhaps the most thrilling scene from the episode was the introduction of Prince Oberyn Martell of Dorne (Pedro Pascal). Tyrion (Peter Dinklage) finds out, much to his chagrin, that docile Prince Doran was unable to make it to King's Landing for the royal wedding and that instead his wildcard brother Oberyn is in town. We then see Oberyn in the midst of a bisexual foursome before being interrupted by a Lannister knight in the next room singing "The Rains of Castamere." Oberyn clearly doesn't care much for the song or for Lannisters, which he quickly proves by stabbing the man's wrist. It might just be the best intro for a new character the show's ever done, and we can't wait to see what Oberyn does next.
Arya's revenge. The final scene of the episode features Arya (Maisie Williams) and The Hound (Rory McCann), who stumble upon a group of Lannister soldiers getting grabby at an inn. While the Hound doesn't want to fight anyone on an empty stomach, Arya can't resist the chance to retrieve her old sword Needle, which she sees in the possession of one of the soldiers. Eventually, the Hound changes his tune, and proceeds to kill all of the soldiers in the inn... except one. Polliver, the one who has Needle, is killed by Arya herself with her little sword, as she reenacts Polliver's murder of her friend Lommy Greenhands from Season 2 word for word. It's the start of a darker path for Arya, but it was great to see her finally get some revenge.
Jaime's struggles. We're treated to a lot of cleaned-up Jaime Lannister (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) in the episode, as we see his relationships crumbling around him. He's essentially disowned by Tywin, spurned by Cersei, and mocked by Joffrey, but his most satisfying interaction is with Brienne. We see the two bicker like old friends, which they are, now, with Brienne trying to unearth the honor she knows is inside Jaime. We feel like she'll reach it eventually.
Jon and Sam. After a year apart, it was nice to see Jon Snow (Kit Harrington) and Sam (John Bradley) palling around again, with Sam telling Jon he feels the same way about him that Jon did about Robb. It was one of the few "aww" moments in an episode that had a very dark feel overall.
Dany's dragons. Daenerys Targaryen's (Emilia Clarke) dragons look bigger and better than ever this season, and they're also growing more wild. The first we see of them, with Dany stroking Drogon's head, is an amazing feat of CGI special effects, perhaps the best we've ever seen on a TV show.
What was your favorite moment from the premiere? Let us know in the comments below!
Catch the next episode of Game of Thrones Season 4 on April 13, 2014 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on HBO.

Angel Garland! Adorable Christmas Decor! Great Kid's Craf!
Source: Babycenter Community
Mom Rating
Ages: 5-8+ years
In: Holidays
Instructions:Strung together with fancy ribbon, this order of lacy angels looks heavenly draped from a tree bough, on a mantel or around a banister. CRAFT MATERIALS:
Lacy white fabric or tulle
Cotton balls
Both white and yellow yarn
Yellow felt
White ribbon or cording
Glitter glue, optional
Beads or charms, optional
Time needed: Under 1 Hour
1. To make each angel, place a cotton ball in the center of an 11-inch square of white fabric. Gather the fabric around the cotton ball and tie it with white string or yarn to form a head and gown. Trim the ends of the string close to the knot.
2. Next, cut a 12-inch piece of yellow string or yarn for a belt and tie it around the angel's gown (be sure to leave sleeve openings large enough to thread ribbon through).
3. Loop and tie another piece of yellow string (or gold thread) into a halo and glue it to the back of the angel's head.
4. Use the same method to make five more angels. Then thread a 5-foot length of white ribbon or cording through the sleeves of each angel. For an extra festive touch, string beads or charms between the angels.
5. Finally, cut out a pair of yellow felt wings for each angel. Glue the wings (paint them with glitter glue, if desired) to the backs of the angels, and the garland is ready to hang.

He's no stranger to the region, having worked here before he joined the health-care venture capital firm.
Shah's first stint in San Diego was for a three-year period from 2001, when he co-founded the biotech startup Kalypsys, a spinoff from the Genomics Institute of the Novartis Research Foundation that focused on high-end robotics to expedite drug research.
He established many relationships and felt like he was part of the local community.
"I was struck by how close-knit and cooperative the biotech community here is," Shah said.
In 2004, he left to join Thomas, McNerney and moved to the Bay Area, but continued to associate with San Diego's biotech industry since the firm made about one local investment each year.
Last year, he moved back and set up shop in San Diego, recognizing that while the region is one of the top three biotech clusters in the country, there were very few venture capital firms here in comparison to Boston and the Bay Area.
This makes Thomas, McNerney one of a handful of local venture capital firms, something the industry has been canvassing for years.
Shah spoke to U-T San Diego about his local investments and where he sees the local industry heading.
Q: Why did you decide to move to San Diego?
A: We felt that there was a real opportunity in San Diego. When you look at the number of biotech and life sciences companies in Southern California, it's one of the top three clusters in the nation, but when you compare the ratio of venture capital firms to the number of companies in the Bay Area and here, the ratio is massively skewed.
But it has been very successful in attracting venture capital and it's clear that having local investors has not been necessary. That being said, we are big believers in San Diego biotech and moved our offices here because the ratio of venture investors in Northern California versus Southern California is closer to 10:1. We felt it made sense to be local to SoCal and that we could cover Northern California just as effectively from here.
Also, we had made several investments in San Diego over the years, so we felt it would be nice to have portfolio companies close by. We were the lead investor in all of the local companies we've invested in, over $100 million since I joined the firm. And as lead investor, you also tend to attract co-investment capital. I haven't run the figures lately, but the total capital we indirectly brought in is over $300 million.

CARD eLearning: An Effective Tool for Teaching Family Members the Principles of ABA
In a recent study, CARD researcher Jina Jang and colleagues found the CARD eLearning program to be effective in training family members of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) in the principles and procedures of applied behavior analysis (ABA). CARD eLearning is a web-based training program that covers topics about ABA and the treatment of ASD. Caregiver training is a crucial component of ABA treatment. Some research has suggested that caregiver involvement may improve treatment outcomes for children with ASD. Traditional in-person caregiver training can oftentimes be costly, inconvenient for caregivers' schedules, as well as unavailable to caregivers living in remote areas. The CARD eLearning program may be an effective substitute or complement to traditional caregiver training as it is cost-effective and convenient for caregivers to complete within the comfort of their homes at their own pace. Furthermore, CARD eLearning allows for the dissemination of ABA training to caregivers around the world, who otherwise would not have access to such training.
Previously, CARD founder and executive director Dr. Doreen Granpeesheh and members of the CARD research department conducted a study suggesting that CARD eLearning may be effective in training newly hired behavioral therapists. In the current study, CARD researchers set out to evaluate the effectiveness of CARD eLearning in training family members of children with ASD.
Participants included 28 family members of children with ASD. While the majority of the participants were mothers, participants consisted of fathers and grandmothers as well. Participants were randomly assigned to one of two groups: experimental or control. Due to the important nature of the training, both groups were given access to the CARD eLearning. Pretests were given to participants in both groups in order to assess their preexisting knowledge of ABA. After completing the pretest, participants in the experimental group were given immediate access to CARD eLearning, while participants in the control group were retested following a one week delay. Participants in the control group were given access to CARD eLearning after completing the second test. Finally, upon completion of CARD eLearning, participants in both groups were given a posttest.
Results revealed that both groups showed significant gains in their knowledge of ABA after completing CARD eLearning. The experimental group scored an average of 63 percent on the pretest as compared to 90 percent on the posttest. Likewise, the control group scored an average of 51 percent on the pretest, 64 percent on the second test, and after completing the CARD eLearning, scored 92 percent on the post test.
Findings suggest that the CARD eLearning program may be an effective tool for teaching family members of children with ASD the principles and procedures of ABA. If you are interested in learning more about CARD eLearning, click here.

Thanks again for your support, and as always, you are invited to join the adventure as we continue our search together for California's Gold.
Please visit our gracious underwriters -- your Southern California Ford Dealers.
California's Gold #3001 - CLEAR LAKE
Clear Lake is located at the base of fabled Mt. Konocti and is California's largest natural lake. Much of the terrain around the 4200 foot Mt. Konocti was formed by lava flows and folding of the earth's crust. The lake has a rich history; evidence of human habitation dates back at least ten thousand years. More than 120,000 visitors each year enjoy picnicking, boating, camping and nature walks.
Huell travels to the this natural wonder and gets a very special tour including Anderson Marsh State Historic Park which has a very rich history itself. The Park contains 1,065 acres of oak woodland, grass covered hills, and tule marsh at the southeast end of Clear Lake. It has a rich Native American history and the original Anderson family home is open to the public for tours. Huell travels the marsh and lake by boat and learns about the rich natural and human history that makes Clear Lake such a wonderful example of California's Gold.
California's Gold #3002 - DUNE BUGGY
Back in a Southern California garage in 1963 something amazing was happening. A 37 year old Bruce Meyers was building a car that would that would become an icon, the Meyers Manx... better know as the Dune Buggy. This simple car really springborded "off-road" racing into the huge sport it is today, cutting more than 5 hours of the pervious Baja 1000 record in its 1st try. This in turn caught the eye of Hollywood: Elvis, Lucy & Desi, Scooby-Doo all had to have one.
To quote Road and track from 1976, "The Manx has to rank as one of the most significant and influential cars of all time. It started more fads, attracted more imitators... and was recognized as a genuine sculpture, a piece of art." Join Huell as he gets many smiles per mile with Bruce Meyers, and a bunch of Meyers Manx owners as they trek through the So. Cal. landscape.
California's Gold #3003 - EGYPTIAN MUSEUM
Join Huell on this ancient adventure as he explores The Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum in San Jose. Architecturally inspired by the Temple of Amon at Karnak, it houses the largest collection of Egyptian artifacts on exhibit in the western United States -- including objects from pre-dynastic times through Egypt's early Christian era.
Fascinated by the ancient culture, Dr. H. Spencer Lewis, began collecting Egyptian, Assyrian, and Babylonian artifacts over 65 years ago. In 1932 a building was built in San Jose to house the growing collection, and the original Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum was opened to the public.
Huell gets a very special tour of this extensive collection of human and animal mummies, canopic jars, ushabtis, and detailed funerary boats and models. Discover colorful and precious jewelry, pre-dynastic pottery, glass and alabaster vessels, bronze tools, sculpture, and Coptic textiles.
California's Gold #3004 - PYRAMID
Join Huell as he learns about the sometimes-controversial history of this California landmark and gets a very special tour, including a vertigo-inducing trip to the very top if the spire which is set against the San Francisco skyline...
We are talking about the The Transamerica Building, one of the most distinctive structures on the globe. With its 48 stories and 212-foot spire, the Pyramid is San Francisco's tallest building and is considered the most photographed building in the world. With 18 elevators, 3,678 windows, approximately 16,000 cubic yards of concrete and 1500 people working inside, it is truly a spectacle.
California's Gold #3005 - LITTLE HOLLYWOOD CARS
When do you think the economy car hit the American market? Most people would say the '70s or maybe the '60s, but you might be surprised to know that in 1930, the American Austin car company premiered a miniature car that could get 40 miles to the gallon. The cars were not a huge success with the general public, but Hollywood fell in love! Huell visits with a man who has the largest collection of these little cars in the world. We'll see some great cars and look at some fun film clips from Hollywood's golden age.
Have you ever wondered what happens to the countless cars that have been driven over cliffs, crushed, crashed and blown up in thousands of movies? Most of those cars were miniature cars that were built for the movies and believe it or not, there is a man who has a huge collection of these "movie" cars. Huell gets a special look at some very unique little Hollywood cars.
California's Gold #3006 - ZAMBONI
Huell learns about the machines that clean the ice at ice rinks and professional hockey events around the world. Would you believe the Zamboni was invented right here in sunny Southern California? Huell joins up with the son of the inventor, and visits the factory where it all started. Then he tops off the day with a trip to the Anaheim Pond, home of the Mighty Ducks to see the Zamboni in action.
California's Gold #3007 - WILL ROGERS
Will Rogers has got to be one of the all time great American characters.
Often called the "Cowboy Philosopher", he kept America laughing
through some of it's toughest years. Will was a radio commentator, news-paper
columnist, and motion picture star. In 1922 Will bought property above Sunset
Blvd. and built a summer cottage. The family loved the place so much that Will
had a proper ranch built and the family moved there in 1928. In 1944 after the
death of Mrs. Rogers, the property became Will Rogers State Historic Park and is
now a well loved tourist destination. The ranch has been perfectly maintained
and is filled with all of the Rogers family original furnishings and
memorabilia. It's like stepping back into Will's boots. What makes Huell's
tour so special, is that its given by Will's last remaining child Jimmie
Rogers. Jimmie grew up at the ranch and shares many wonderful memories of a home
that was dearly loved by all. This program is now itself a part of California's
history because shortly after the interview was filmed, Jimmie Rogers passed
away. From the ranch buildings to the polo fields that Will hosted many matches
on, to the personal remembrances of his son, it's a tour you won't want to
California's Gold #3008 - VERNAL POOLS
For years Huell has been getting letters telling him he should do a show on Vernal Pools, well, now he has. Just a short drive from Sacramento, on an old Military Base Huell meets up with a couple of experts, and a bunch of school kids all eager to explore the flora and fauna that live in and around these wonderful natural pools. As they go from pool to pool, Huell learns that even if they are only a few acres away, they can be a totally different world. Now, after all these years of wondering what these pools were, and saying "I don't even know what they look like," he finally does, and as always, your invited to join him as he finds out.
California's Gold #3009 - GLASS BEACHES
There are two beaches in California that are a treasure hunters paradise. The
constant pounding of the Pacific has created some real "gems". It's a
north coast adventure you don't want to miss. First Huell travels to the small
coastal town of Fort Bragg to visit what the locals call "Glass
Beach". Imagine a kaleidoscope of colored glass glittering in the Pacific
surf: azure, scarlet, mauve, amber, amethyst and teal. Originally the city dump
was on the edge of this beach and over the years, the waves have polished broken
bottles and china into some real gems. The dump closed in the 20s, but its
remnants continue to bring people in search of a fun day of beach combing. Next
Huell travels even farther north to Patricks Point State Park, which is
twenty-five miles north of Eureka. The highlight of the park is a gently curving
strip of sand named "Agate Beach". Mother Nature has polished
semi-precious agates into beautiful little gems on this aptly named beach. It's
another great place to spend a day.
California's Gold #3010 - CALIFORNIA CHINA CONNECTION
California and China have had a long and storied connection, the most well known is the Chinese laborers who built the California Railroads. But on this adventure Huell finds a few lesser known, example of California's & China's Gold.
A brief stop at the Bonsai Collection North introduces us to the Bonsai tree given to Envoy Burlingame from the Lincoln Presidency. Anson Burlingane opened China to the US in the 1860's, on his way home he got this tree in Japan and its been in the US ever since.
Next stop is The Social Saloon of the SS CHINA built in 1866, it made many trips from the US to China before it was beached on Belvedere Cove in 1886. Huell visits the beautifully restored gilded Victorian drawing room that was salvaged when the side-wheeler was burned for scrap metal.
California's Gold #3011 - GIANT ROCK
First stop is Giant Rock - considered to be the worlds largest free standing bolder, and a long time sacred site to the Native Americans. In the 1950's it became a UFO airport according to George Van Tassel who was contacted by aliens there, and was host to UFO conventions till the late 70's. One of the things George was told to do by the aliens was to build the Integratron, which is our next stop. This amazing building/machine is supposed to restores youth, although never completed - Huell will get a 'sound bath'.
Hold onto your seats, this will be a wild ride.
California's Gold #3012 - WINDMILLS
The first stop on our adventure is the Dutch Windmill in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park, which was built in 1902, at a cost of $16,000. It is 75 feet high, and 33 feet in diameter at the base, is sails have a span of 102 feet and it was capable of pumping 30,000 gallons of fresh water per hour from underground to a reservoir on Strawberry Hill. Despite being a great success for a few years (so much so that a second windmill was built), by 1913 electric pumps were introduced, so the windmills began to become obsolete. In August 1976 volunteers from the US Navy Reserve started work on restoring the Dutch Mill. Work continued through to completion in 1981. The second windmill, which is lose by, is patiently waiting its turn to be brought back to its original glory.
From the historic to the cutting edge of technology, Huell's next stop is sure to make you gasp. We travel to Enron Wind in Tehachapi to look at the biggest and most modern windmill we could find. Join Huell as he climbs two hundred and thirteen feet straight up to the top of this amazing machine. The blades are one hundred and twelve feet long each, for a combined wing span (with the center hub) of two hundred and thirty one feet! If you're afraid of heights, this show is sure to make you squirm.

Merrick families have an 'eggstravagant' time
The North and Central Merrick Civic Association threw its annual Spring Eggstravaganza on April 12 at Fraser Park in North Merrick. Merrick families with young children flocked to the park at 11 a.m., finding a Wonka-like field of multi-colored eggs. The children carried out Easter tradition by collecting basketfuls of the eggs. The fun continued with a "matzos beach ball toss" in celebration of Passover, arts and crafts activities and a visit from the Easter Bunny. The American Legion Auxiliary Unit 1282, Printing Emporium and Nassau County Legislator Dave Denenberg also co-sponsored the event.

Of course the Spurs get executed while I'm in Destin, Florida for a bachelor party. Of course. They even deprive me the opportunity to be a part of the discussion of their demise.
With Corndogg effectively driving this blog into a cliff while I'm gone, I'll simply tell you, a proper send-off is in order for one of the most dominant franchises in NBA history, and I'll lay it out when we get back.
For right now, I'm back to white sands, Coronas, and a little bit of chaos. I'll right the ship when I return.
Oh, and Celtics in seven, we repeat.
