Legendary Musician Robby
Armstrong and his band rocked
the crowd at Eisenhower Park
with incredible sounds recently as an
overflow crowd of more than 1,000,
danced, sang along, clapped and had a
fabulous time throughout the park,
pier and sidewalks. He was part of a
fantastic free concert series (see
schedule below).
Armstrong began by toasting,
along with the joyous crowd, this very
special city that's nearing its Centennial (in
5 years). The pulsating musical happening
was reminiscent of the bands that played
near here on the boardwalk and beach asthousands of visitors had the times of their
lives in the beautiful village in the second
decade of last century.
Behind the wild band, which
featured several great musicians like
Jeremey Long on keyboard & guitar,
concertgoers enjoyed the view of crashing
surf and boats in the friendly place that was
once home to the legenday "Bell Sisters,"
who had international hits like "Bermuda"
and "Wheel of Fortune" in the 1950s.
If you haven't heard Robby and his
band play, you need to. Go to
myspace.com/robbyarmstrongband. I
loved their pulsating rhythm and choice in
Music--from old to new.
Many Thanks to the spectacular Seal
Beach Chamber Of Commerce & Don the
Beachcomber for sponsoring the
memorable concert. There are other cool
concerts scheduled that you should check
out. They all take place on Wednesdays
from 6pm to 8pm at Eisenhower Park, next

If you are among
the thousands of
fans who enjoy
eating Rubys
d e l i c i o u s
hamburgers and
crispy french fries to
the backdrop of the
Pacific Blue, you
can enjoy a hot meal
at affordable prices on piers in Seal Beach,
Huntington Beach, Oceanside, Newport
Beach and Malibu.
They are but several of over 50
themed U.S. diners with red vinyl booths,
red and white stiped dress-wearing
waitresses and delicious American food
under the Rubys flagship. On July 26,
2010 Rubys celebrated its second year of
paying homage to the lovely lady the
fabulous restaurant was named after.
Normally youd pay around $9-10
for a hamburger and fries plate with an
ocean view, but on this special day, we
paid $2.80. Seal Beach General Manager
Art Haack, Cassidy Watts, and Katrina
Stebbins all cheerfully worked to make
customers happy on the Seal Beach Pier
diner for Rubys
birthday celebration.
Its been a
steady steam of traffic
all day, said Art
Haack, general
manager of the Seal
Beach Pier restaurant.
Well end up serving
over 1,000 people
before the day is through.
On our dinner-time stroll we stopped
and put our names on the list, just on
whim. How can you pass up a $2.80 meal?
The wait was around 20 minutes, but well
worth it. The burgers were cooked to
perfection (medium well) and though they
normally come with thousand island and
mayonnaise, I by-passed that for ketchup
and mustard which I squeezed onto the bed
of cold lettuce, and slice of tomato sitting
on top of the patty. The sesame bun was
sweet and the meal complete. Thanks for
letting us join in on your well-deserved
birthday celebration, dear Ruby! Thanks
for the memories! Rubys on the Seal
Beach Pier is located at 900-A Ocean Ave.,

Honest, I don't suffer from insanity; Ienjoy every minute of it. In fact, some
people are alive only because it's illegal tokill them. I used to have a handle on life, but
it broke. And, don't take life too seriously;No one gets out alive.
You can't kid me - you're just jealous
because the voices only talk to me. Haveyou ever thought about the fact that beautyis in the eye of the beer holder. And, I knowyou agree that Earth is the insane asylum for
the universe.
Hey, I'm not a complete idiot - Some partsare just missing.
Just a minute I need some... NyQuil, thestuffy, sneezy, why-the-heck-is-the-
room-spinning medicine. God must lovestupid people; He made so many of us... Iwas wondering if the gene pool could usea little chlorine.
Darn that Consciousness: That annoyingtime between naps. Ever stop to think,and forget to start again? I just did!
I was just sharing with a friend: Being'over the hill' is much better than being
under it! And, Wrinkled Was Not One ofthe Things I Wanted to Be When I Grewup, particularly here.
I Have a Degree in LiberalArts; Do You Want Fries WithThat? I just realized...Ahangover is the wrath of
grapes. Trust me...A journeyof a thousand miles beginswith a cash advance.
They call it PMS becauseMad Cow Disease was alreadytaken. Guess what dude... Hewho dies with the most toys is
nonetheless DEAD.
Based on my computer experience...a picture is worth a thousand words, but
it uses up three thousand times thememory.
Thinkaboutit: Ham and eggs... Aday's work for a chicken, a lifetimecommitment for a pig. Wow, or isthat MOM upside down...The
trouble with life is there's nobackground music.
People who know me know
that I smile because I don'tknow what the hell is going on.Please... appreciate every singlething you have, especially your
friends! Life is too short and friendsare too few! Have a Great Day!
m tuh Fmau Huas1. I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediatelyclear your computer history if

12. Can we all just agree to ignorewhatever comes after Blue Ray? Idon't want to have to restart my
collection...again.
13. I'm always slightly terrifiedwhen I exit out of Word and it
asks me if I want to save anychanges to my ten-page
technical reportthat I swear I did
not make any
changes to.
14. "Do notmachine wash ortumble dry" means I
will never wash this
- ever.
15. I hate when I just miss a call bythe last ring ( Hello?
Hello? Really?? )
but when Iimmediately call
back, it rings ninetimes and goes to
voice mail. What
did you do after Ididn't answer? Drop
the phone and runaway?
16. I hate leaving
m y
house confident and looking good andthen not seeing anyone of importance
the entire day. What a waste.
17. I keep some people's phonenumbers in my phone just so I know
not to answer when they call.
18. I think the freezer deserves a lightas well.
19. I disagree with Kay Jewelers. Iwould bet on any given Friday orSaturday night more kisses begin with
Miller Lite than Kay.20. I wish Google Maps had an"Avoid Ghetto" routing option.
21. Sometimes, I'll watch a moviethat I watched when I was younger
and suddenly realize I had no ideawhat the heck was going on when I
first saw it.
22. I would rather try to carry 10over-loaded plastic bags in each hand
than take 2 trips to bring my groceries
in.
23. The only time I look forward to ared light is when I'm trying to finish atext.
24. I have a hard time deciphering thefine line between boredom andhunger.
25. How many times is it appropriateto say "What?" before you just nodand smile because you still didn't hear
or understand a word they said?
26. I love the sense ofcamaraderie when an entire line
of cars team up to prevent a jerkfrom cutting in at the front. Stay
strong, brothers and sisters!
27. Shirts get dirty. Underwear getsdirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and
you can wear them forever.
28. Is it just me or do high school kidsget dumber & dumber every year?
29. There's no worse feeling than thatmillisecond you're sure you are going
to die after leaning your chair back alittle too far.
30. As a driver I hate pedestrians, andas a pedestrian I hate drivers, but nomatter what the mode of
transportation, I always hatebicyclists.
31. Sometimes I'll look down at mywatch 3 consecutive times and still notknow what time it is.
32. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating theircar keys in a pocket, finding their
cell phone, and Pinning the Tail onthe Donkey - but I'd bet anything
that everyone can find and push
the snooze button from 3 feetaway, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes
closed, first time, every time!

TheLocalNews,August1-15,2010
In just six months, the largest tax hikes in the history
of America will take effect. They will hit families
and small businesses in three great waves on
January 1, 2011:
-------------------------------
First Wave: Expiration of 2001 and
2003 Tax ReliefIn 2001 and 2003, the GOP Congress enacted several
tax cuts for investors, small business owners, and families.
These will all expire on January 1, 2011:
Personal income tax rates
will rise.
The top income tax
rate will rise from 35 to 39.6
percent (this is also the rate
at which two-thirds of small
business profits are taxed).
The lowest rate will rise
from 10 to 15 percent. All
the rates in between will
also rise. Itemized
deductions and personal
exemptions will again phase
out, which has the same
mathematical effect ashigher marginal tax rates. The full list of marginal rate hikes
is below:
The 10% bracket rises to an expanded 15%
The 25% bracket rises to 28%
The 28% bracket rises to 31%
The 33% bracket rises to 36%
The 35% bracket rises to 39.6%
Higher taxes on marriage and family.
The "marriage penalty" (narrower tax brackets for
married couples) will return from the first dollar of income.
The child tax credit will be cut in half from $1000 to $500
per child. The standard deduction will no longer be doubled
for married couples relative to the single level. The
dependent care and adoption tax credits will be cut.
The return of the Death Tax.
This year, there is no death tax. For those dying on or
after January 1 2011, there is a 55 percent top death tax rate
on estates over $1 million. A person leaving behind two
homes and a retirement account could easily pass along a
death tax bill to their loved ones.
Higher tax rates on savers and investors.
The capital gains tax will rise from 15 percent this
year to 20 percent in 2011. The dividends tax will rise from
15 percent this year to 39.6 percent in 2011. These rates will
rise another 3.8 percent in 2013.
-------------------------------
Second Wave: Health CareThere are over twenty new or higher taxes in
Obamacare. Several will first go into effect on January 1,
2011. They include:
The "Medicine Cabinet Tax"Thanks to Obamacare, Americans will no longer be
able to use health savings account (HSA), flexible spending
account (FSA), or health reimbursement (HRA) pre-tax
dollars to purchase non-prescription, over-the-counter
medicines (except insulin).
The "Special Needs Kid s Tax"
This provision of Obamacare imposes a cap on
flexible spending accounts (FSAs) of $2500 (Currently,
there is no federal government limit). There is one group of
FSA owners for whom this new cap will be particularly
cruel and onerous: parents of special needs children.
There are thousands of families with special needs
children in the United States, and many of them use FSAs
to pay for special needs education. Tuition rates at one
leading school that teaches special needs children in
Washington, D.C. (National Child Research Center) can
easily exceed $14,000 per year. Under tax rules, FSA
dollars can not be used to pay for this type of special needs
education.
The HSA Withdrawal Tax Hike.
This provision of Obamacare increases the additional
tax on non-medical early withdrawals from an HSA from
10 to 20 percent, disadvantaging them relative to IRAs and
other tax-advantaged accounts, which remain at 10 percent.
-------------------------------
Third Wave: The Alternative Minimum
Tax and Employer Tax HikesWhen Americans prepare to file their tax returns in
January of 2011, they'll be in for a nasty surprise-the AMT
won't be held harmless, and many tax relief provisions will
have expired. The major
items include:
The AMT will ensnare
over 28 million families, up
from 4 million last year.
According to the left-
leaning Tax Policy Center ,
Congress' failure to index
the AMT will lead to an
explosion of AMT taxpaying families-rising from 4 million
last year to 28.5 million. These families will have to
calculate their tax burdens
twice, and pay taxes at the
higher level. The AMT was
created in 1969 to ensnare a
handful of taxpayers.
Small business
expensing will be slashed
and 50% expensing will
disappear. Small businesses
can normally expense
(rather than slowly-deduct,
or "depreciate") equipment
purchases up to $250,000.
This will be cut all the way
down to $25,000. Larger businesses can expense half of their purchases of
equipment. In January of 2011, all of it will have to be
"depreciated." Taxes will be raised on all types of
businesses.
There are literally scores of tax hikes on business that
will take place. The biggest is the loss of the "research and
experimentation tax credit," but there are many, many
others. Combining high marginal tax rates with the loss of
this tax relief will cost jobs.
Tax Benefits for Education and Teaching Reduced.
The deduction for tuition and fees will not be
available. Tax credits for education will be limited.
Teachers will no longer be able to deduct classroom
expenses. Coverdell Education Savings Accounts will be
cut. Employer-provided educational assistance is curtailed.
The student loan interest deduction will be disallowed for
hundreds of thousands of families.
Charitable Contributions from IRAs no longer
allowed.
Under current law, a retired person with an IRA can
contribute up to $100,000 per year directly to a charity from
their IRA. This contribution also counts toward an annual
"required minimum distribution." This ability will no
longer be there.
Now our insurance is INCOME on your W2's...
One of the surprises we'll find come next ye ar, is what
follows - a little "surprise" that 99% of us had no idea was
included in the "new and improved" healthcare
legislation... the dupes, er, dopes, who backed this
administration will be astonished! Starting in 2011, (next
year folks), your W-2 tax form sent by your employer willbe increased to show the value of whatever health insurance
you are given by the company. It does not matter if that's a
private concern or governmental body of some sort. If
you're retired? So what; your gross will go up by the
amount of insurance you get.
You will be required to pay taxes on a large sum of
money that you have never seen.
Take your tax form you just finished and see what
$15,000 or $20,000 additional gross does to your tax debt.
That's what you'll pay next year. For many, it also puts you
into a new higher bracket so it's even worse.
This is how the government is going to buy insurance
for the15% that don't have insurance and it's only part of the
tax increases.
Not believing this??? Here is a research of
the summaries...On page 25 of 29: TITLE IX REVENUE
PROVISIONS- SUBTITLE A: REVENUE OFFSET
PROVISIONS-(sec. 9001, as modified by sec. 10901)
Sec.9002 "requires employers to include in the W-2 form of
each employee the aggregate cost of applicable employer
sponsored group health coverage that is excludable from
the employees gross income."

letters. Go to Kiplingers and read about 13 tax changes that
could affect you. Number 3 is what is above.
Why am I publishing this? The same reason I hope
you forward this to every single person you know

Up until recently, 4.25% was the lowest
rate available on a 30 year fixed rate
mortgage. Obtaining this
lowest or floor rate
typically involved some
form of buy-down or
points. With mortgage
rates achieving new record
lows in the last few weeks,
something phenomenal has
happened. The floor rate of
4.25% has been available
with little or no buy-down.
In order for banks to
accommodate homeowners
wanting to make an
investment into their
mortgage the banks have just
lowered the floor rate ontheir rate sheets.
Can you imagine a 30
year fixed rate at 3.75%?
Over the last 40 years the
average rate for the
conforming 30 year fixed
rate loan has been nearly 7%.
Throughout the 1990s and early 2000s a fixed
rate under 6% was considered highly
desirable. In the last 2 years since the housing
bubble burst a rate under 5%, previously
unimaginable for many, has now become the
mental benchmark of American homeowners.
Anyone whos followed mortgage rates for
any length of time realizes that the mere
concept of a 30 year fixed below 4.0% is
downright ludicrous. Lunacy be damned! For
the right individuals, a 30 year fixed is
available as low as 3.75% (points apply).
Earlier this year I wrote an article called
Point or no Points. For some homeowners
it makes sense to invest more
into their closing costs to
obtain a lower rate.
For others it
doesnt. The
u l t i m a t e
justification is
similar to any
other investment: How long will you keep
it? As a general rule, five years seems to
be the breakeven point for mortgage buy-
downs. This means that homeowners who
are not likely to keep their loan for a
minimum of five years will very rarely
find justification for any type of buy-
down or investment into their rate. On the
other hand, those who are more certain of
long-term residency are likely to receive a
potentially substantial return on theirinvestment. This has never been more true
than now while rates are at record-
breaking lows.

recently reported..."Microsoft and NASA have
teamed up to bring you and your
humble desktop PC some of the
highest-resolution images of Mars
currently available. Using a
combination of satellite imagery
and elevation models, Microsoft's
WorldWide Telescope project has
created an impressively detailed 3-
D map of the surface of the Red
Planet. The interactive tour, which simulates flying through Martian
canyons and provides extreme surface detail (provided by the Mars
rovers), took three years and over 100 computers to process and
assemble. Its information has been stitched together from several
different sources, including
Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter(MOLA), the 40-year-old
Viking probes and the still-
flying Mars Reconnaissance
Orbiter.
Those who wish to
explore the Martian surface
can download the free desktop
client (Windows only, of
course) or use the Silverlight-
powered Web-based version.
We had some issues with the Web client on our Linux and Mac
machines, so you non-Microsoft fans might be a little disappointed.
Still, it's worth checking out if you have even a passing curiosity about
our sister planet. [From: NASA, via: Popular Sciencei]"

It took 49 years, but consequential changes are being made to
batting statistics of Yankees' legends Roger Maris and Mickey
Mantle. These corrections affect the 1961 AL RBI and 1961 AL and
MLB runs scored champions.
Sean Forman of baseball-reference.com reprinted a note on his
website written by Lyle Spatz, chair of the Society For American
Baseball Research records committee. In the note, Spatz details that
Roger Maris was mistakenly given an extra RBI in a 1961 game. It also
details that Mantle was given an extra run scored in the same year.
These statistics are significant because they change the AL and
MLB leaders for the year.
Maris was originally credited with 142 RBI in 1961, one more
than Baltimore's Jim Gentile. Rocky Colavito was just behind them
with 140.
Researcher Ron Rakowski initially discovered the
discrepancies, noticing that a scoring error was made during a
July 5 game between New York and Cleveland at Yankee Stadium.
Maris hit a single and on the play a throwing error was made after
Maris rounded the base, consequently sending Tony Kubek
around to score with Maris ending up at third.
Because it was an unearned run due to the
throwing error, Maris should not have been
credited with the RBI. Maris later hit a solo
home run in the game, but the scorer
incorrectly reported two RBIs to Major League
Baseball's office instead of one. The New York
Times, New York Daily News, New York
Journal American, Cleveland Plain Dealer and
the The Sporting News all show Maris with
just one RBI. The recognized discovery is
imperative as it now has Maris sharing the
1961 AL RBI lead with Gentile, both players
driving in 141 for the season.
On the other hand, Rakowski also discovered that
Mickey Mantle's run total was scored incorrectly in
another game during 1961. In the second game of a
doubleheader on Sept. 10 against Cleveland, Mantle was
given an extra run. Rakowski confirmed this error by
juxtaposing score sheets of New York sports writers and
media outlets and the Yankees' official statistics. This
corrected
error now gives Mantle one less
run, placing him at 131 runs scored for 1961. This
crowns Maris the AL leader and MLB leader in runs scored with 132,
overtaking Mantle.
As a side note, 1961 was the year Roger Maris hit 61 home runs,
setting a then MLB record by passing Babe Ruth by one, and also
setting the AL home run record that still stands in 2010.
According to Spatz's statement, Retrosheet, Baseball-
Reference.com, Baseball Almanac and the Elias Sports Bureau have all
recognized these corrected numbers.
The changes come as a result of dedicated research by the SABR
teaming up with Retrosheet, in an attempt to ensure statistics from the
pre-1984 era are as accurate as possible.

rom NBC's Mark Murray "As we mentioned
earlier today, the results from last night's
primaries in Oklahoma ensure that Oklahomawill have its first-ever female governor -- either
Mary Fallin (R) or Jari Askins (D).
In fact, per Rutgers' Center for American
Women and Politics, there are eight states this year
that could very well elect it's first-ever female
governor: California (Republican Meg Whitman?),
Florida (Democrat Alex Sink?), Georgia (Republican
Karen Handel?), Maine (Democrat Libby Mitchell?),
Minnesota (Dem Margaret Anderson Kelliher?),
New Mexico (either Dem Diane Denish or
Republican Susana Martinez), Oklahoma, and South
Carolina (Republican Nikki Haley?).
As NBC's Jillian Hughes noted earlier this
month, come 2011, we could approach or surpass the
previous record of nine women residing in governors
mansions simultaneously."

he new office space at the Huntington Surf &
Sport Building is being made with the true
feeling of Surf City in mind. Th ere is 30,000
sf of new office
space at 300
PCH... have
your own
w a t e r f r o n t
office! Office
Suites can be
designed as cozy
as 2,000 sf. A
few of the
dist inguishing
amenities the
a t t r a c t i v e
l o c a t i o n
includes are: 30
ft ceilings,
o f f i c e
k i t c he ne t t e s ,
even surf boardracks, and showers - brush
the sand off before you take
the world on every day...
Some Suites have their
own mezzanine with loft and
Panoramic views of the
Ocean and Main Street. The
entire Pierside Village area
dominates the view-scape.
The suites are being custom
built to each Tenant.
The owners have applied a lot of thought to the
creation of this Lift-style business location. A key for
business owners to understand is that office design can
be a strong motivator with employee retention, quality
of work, all equating to savings for a serious busines
operator.
Already, businesses that have made lease
commitments at the Huntington Surf & Sport Building
state they would not
have been able to
attract the quality of
some key
employees and
clients if they were
in other inland
office typical tilt-up
b u i l d i n g s
surrounded by other
tilt-ups. Being at
the corner of Main
and PCH for any
office worker
affords the ability to
entertain in the
downtown with
little effort. There
are countless businesses that will only
have to walk to deliver
meals to your office.
If your lease is up in the
next 3-12 months or if you
have interest in expanding
your business then you
should consider calling
today! In fact you can call
the building owner direct:
Joe Daichendt can be contacted @ 949.310.0111. If
you cannot reach him for any reason... email The
Local News: HBNews1@aol. com.
We cannot think of a more exciting project in
the Pierside Village area since the launching of the
Strand some 10 years ago.
Imagine: An affordable business lifestyle with officespace amenities not available any place else!

The Huntington Beach Police
Department wants to publish the
names of suspected DUI
offenders on its website in an attemptto prevent and reduce the crime. The
department wants to send a clear
message that they are serious about
enforcement. Enforcement for
sure...prevention always an issue.
According to a report submitted
this month to City Council, Surf City
police firmly believe drunk driving is a
significant problem, especially in the
downtown area where a high
concentration of businesses that serve
liquor exist. "DUIs are a public-safety issue," said
police Lt. Russell Reinhart. Reinhart said...public
awareness of the problem, and scope of the problem, is
one way of addressing p ublic-safety concerns.
The department is considering posting the names,
which are public record, online, not to embarrass people,
but to send a message that Huntington
is enforcing DUIs, Reinhart said. "It's
not a wall of shame we're looking to
put up," he said. It's unclear how wellthis strategy will work, considering it is
(in essence) the continuation of a
policy upheld by the news agency and
the police department for years with no
reduction in DUI incidences since its
inception.
The department has made an
average of 1,700 DUI arrests a year and
the report to city council members
suggests that in 2008 Huntington's DUI
rate was the third-highest for similar
sized municipalities cities of approximately 200,000
residents.
The report also claims that Huntington currently
has the fourth-highest number of alcohol-related traffic
collisions. Reinhart says a dozen or so lives are claimed
from these each year.

Why Asheville you might ask, well Asheville
is now the number one small town to visit.
Yes, it really is a very cute city with lots of
restaurants and breweries, yes breweries.
There are at least 15 local breweries in Asheville.
We were able to visit all of them at the first annual
Asheville Beer City Festival in the heart of downtown
at McGuire Park. Our favorites were the IPAs and the
cast IPA from Highland brewery.
Our friends Al & Beth Aldecoa whom packed up
and left Yorba Linda, CA last Oct. to retire in Asheville
hosted us on quite the N.C. adventure. We arrived
Memorial Day evening in Charlotte, N.C. where we
were greeted by our friends Al & Beth. After a 2 hour
drive to Asheville we settled in to a very nice guest
room, yes lots more square footage and acreage for the
buck. They live in Biltmore Lake community which is
built around Inca Lake. Lots of beautiful homes
around the lake which we walked around every
morning 2.2 miles.
Our first day we went to Chimney Rock at
Chimney Rock State Park. We rode the 26-story
elevator built inside the mountain to reach the
Chimney. The views were spectacular, we even
enjoyed a thunder and lighting rain storm, we were
stuck for about an extra 1&1/2 hours waiting for thestorm to pass through. The show was worth it. For
dinner that night Al cooked a Rack of Lamb on the
Grill with a special sauce, a true Southern BBQ.
Thursday we visited the Grove Park Inn which is
where President Obama stayed for his golf vacation.
Since 1913, the rocking chairs, immense stone
fireplaces and sweeping views of the Blue Ridge
Mountains have charmed and relaxed the guests. We
had a wonderful lunch while enjoying the view.
Friday was a good old Southern BBQ hosted by
Al & Beth. The neighbors came over and some friends
who live an hour away also came. We had ribs cooked
for 4 hours on the Big Green Egg which is the worlds
best smoker and Grill. I have to say they were the best
ribs we have ever had.
Saturday was the Asheville Beer City Festival that
I talked about in my opening. A little history about the
festival. Asheville won the title of Beer City USA in an
online poll. The Beer Festival is a celebration of made-
in-Carolina brews from the mountains to the coast.
Saturday night we went to see the Asheville
Tourists (the local baseball team, and farm team Class
A South Atlantic league for the Colorado Rockies).
Talk about how fun a game can be, from really good
local beer only $3.00 and having seats on first base
first row and the players coming by to autograph
pictures and balls for the kids. Also Doug participated
in a 7 inning stretch by trying to throw a Wiffle ball
into the back of a jeep, but did not quite make it. Fun
to enjoy a down home baseball game.
Sunday thru Tues. we went to Fontana Lake,
where we spent a few days in a cabin by the Lake. Al
& Beth have a boat so was a fun couple of days
exploring the lake going by the dam and having a
picnic on the boat and swimming in the water.
Tuesday we took the Great Smoky Mountain
Railroad, which is the Murphy Branch of the Western
North Carolina Railroad. The railroad delivered
thousands of mountaineers from the wilderness of theirlandlocked hills in 1891. By the turn of the 20th
Century there were as many as four trains a day from
Asheville to Murphy.
The last part of our trip was a visit to my Cousin
in Knoxville, TN. Spent Wed. & Thursday night with
her and her husband, enjoying the city.
Before we left for home on Sat. we watched the
Enka Lake Triathlon.
We want to thank Al & Beth for being such good
hosts and showing us a bit of Southern Life in North
Carolina.

Started in 1952, Vanguard makes
prototypes and manufactures transformers
and inducers for defense, space,
commercial and industrial uses in Huntington
Beach. And, they haveproduction facilities in
Mexico, Guatemala and China.
President and CEO Ken Finley and Vice
President CFO John Kooklan were able to buy
Vanguard during a Chapter 11 bankruptcy 1998.
Finley, an electrical engineer, began his career
atr Vanguard in 1979.
The partners worked well together and
were able to realign operations for efficientcy,
which apparently resulted in rapid growth of
sales and profits.
Vanguard purchased the $1.6 million
building with a loan made under the U.S. Small
Business Administration's 504 guaranteed loan
program. Southwest Bank provided 50% of the
financing. Also, the Southland EDC, a certified
development company in Santa Ana, financed
40% with a 20-year, fixed below-market interest
rate, according to Robert Dodge, senior loan
officer at Southland EDC. The owners paid 10%
down. Now that is what it takes to survive in the
2010 business window.
"This project allowed a successful
manufacturing company to remain in Orange
County and resulted in the retention of 35 jobs
and the creation of five new jobs," Dodge said.TheLocalNews,August1-15,2010

: I've
noticed that wildflower
blooms in the mountains have
been coming earlier and earlier in recent years.
Is this a sign of global warming? And what
does this mean for the long term survival of
these hardy yet rare plants? - Ashley J., via e-
mail
As always, its hard to pin specific year-
to-year weather-variations and related
phenomenaincluding altered blooming
schedules for wildflowerson global
warming. But longer term analysis of seasonal
flowering patterns and other natural events do
indicate that global warming may be playing a
role in how early wildflowers begin popping
up in the high country.
University of Maryland ecologist David
Inouye has been studying wildflowers in the
Rocky Mountains near Crested Butte, Colorado
for four decades, and has noticed that blooms
have indeed begun earlier over the last decade.
Aspen sunflowers, among other charismatic
high country wildflowers, used to first bloom in
mid-May, but are now are doing so in mid-April,
a full month earlier. Inouye thinks that smaller snow
packs in the mountains are melting earlier due to global
warming, in turn triggering early blooms.
Smaller snow packs not only mean fewer flowers
(since they have less water to use in photosynthesis);
they can also stress wildflower populations not
accustomed to exposure to late-spring frost. According
to Inouyes research, between 1992 and 1998 such
frosts killed about a third of the Aspen sunflower buds
in some 30 different study plots; but more recently, from
1999 through 2006, the typical mortality rate doubled,
with three-quarters of all buds killed by frost in an
average year thanks to earlier blooming.
Inouyes worrisome conclusions are backed up by
experiments conducted by fellow researcher John Harte,
who over a 15 year period used overhead heaters in
nearby wildflower study plots to accelerate snow melt.
The results were the same: Wildflowers bloomed early
and not as vigorously.
Several studies in Europe have shown that some
species of wildflowers there may be able to migrate
north and to higher elevations as the climate warms, but
Inouye fears his beloved Aspen sunflowers and many
other American wildflowers may be lost forever as they
are not able to migrate as quickly as needed in order to
survive widespread surface temperature increases and
escape extinction.
Harte is also gloomy about the prospects for
Colorados mountain wildflowers. He predicts that the
wildflower fields he and Inouye have been stud ying will
give way to sagebrush desert within the next 50
years, whether or not the governments of the
world can get a grip on greenhouse gas
emissions.
As a hedge against such dire predictions,
the nonprofit Center for Plant Conservation is
spearheading seed collection efforts on thousands
of rare wildflower species across the U.S. for
inclusion in the Colorado-based National Center
for Genetic Resources Preservation, a repository
for both common and rare prized American
plant seeds. The banked seeds, useful if not
solely for preserving the genetic makeup of
species that may go extinct in the wild, can also
be used for future restoration projects on
otherwise compromised landscapes.

Yael Zisling offers his
opinion and states..."There is a
misconception about Kosher wine, that it simply doesnt
hold-up, taste wise. However, one only has to taste some of Golan
Heights Winerys wines (just as an example), to know that is simply not
true. Kosher wine used to mean a sweet dark-red liquid since the mid
1980s all that has changed.
With the emergence in recent years of so many boutique wineries in
Israel, not all of the wine being produced locally is kosher. Many of the
boutique wineries simply are unwilling or unable, (due to their growing
and production methods) to produce kosher wines. For a wine to be
kosher, strict regulations must be followed. It really all begins in the
fields. Grapes from new vines may not be used for making wine, until
after the fourth year. Every seventh year the fields must be left fallow and
there is a prohibition on growing other fruits and vegetables
between the vines.
All the equipment, tools and winemaking storage facilities
must be kosher. During the harvest, only Sabbath observant male
Jews are allowed to work on the production of the wines. Since
most of the experienced winemakers in Israel are not observant,
this means that they cant touch the wine or the equipment,
during the winemaking process.
During the production of kosher wine, no animal products
may be used. Gelatin or egg whites are sometimes used by non-
kosher wine makers, to clarify the wine, while kosher wine
makers use a clay material, called bentonite, which pulls
suspended particles to the bottom of the barrel.
For wine to be kosher one percent of the wine must be
discarded, a symbolic remnant of the 10% tithe, paid to the
Temple in Jerusalem in days gone by. Additionally, barrels must
be cleaned three times.
There are really two levels of kosher wine. The first i ncludes
the restrictions outlined above, while the second, known as
mevushal utilizes an additional process. This is important since
Kashrut law stipulates that in order for a wine to retain its kosherness
once opened and poured by a non-Jew, (such as a waiter, for instance) t he
wine must be "mevushal."
Bringing the liquid to a boiling point makes this type of wine,
causing air bubbles to be brought to the surface and the loss of some
wine, due to evaporation. A wine that is produced in this manner
retains its religious purity, regardless of who opens or pours it. A
study at the University of California at Davis, has proven that it is not
possible to consistently taste the difference between non- mevushal
and mevushal wine.
To ensure wines purity, the codification of koshering wine began in
the days of Maimonides. Today, a quick glance at the bottles label will
clearly indicate whether the wine is kosher or not. Some truly wonderful
kosher wine is being produced in Israel."

"Aspen sunflowers, like the one's pictured here, used to
first bloom in mid-May, but are now are doing so in mid-April, a
full month earlier. University of Maryland ecologist David Inouye
thinks that smaller snow packs in the mountains are melting
earlier due to global warming, in turn triggering early blooms."

The City of Fo untain Valleys Recreation
and Community Services Division is
bringing you a
FREE Movie in the
Park! Save thedate on Friday,
August 20th.
We will be
stationed at
Los Alamos
Park (17901
Los Alamos
St) for a night
of fun for all
ages! Grab your
chairs, blankets,
and picnic dinners and
sit back to enjoy the film
Harry Potter & the
Sorcerers Stone.
H a r r y
Potter and
t h e
Sorcerers Stone is the first film in the
Harry Potter series based on the novels by J.K.
Rowling. It is the tale of Harry Potter, an
ordinary 11-year-old boy serving as a sort of
slave for his aunt and uncle who learns that he
is actually a wizard and has been invited to
attend the Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and
Wizardry. Harry is snatched away from his
mundane existence by Hagrid, the grounds
keeper for Hogwarts, and quickly thrown into
a world completely foreign to both him & the
viewer. (Rated PG)
The event will feature picnic-style
games before the film. Pre-movieactivities will start at 6:30pm
and end at dusk, when the
feature presentation
begins. The event is
FREE, so come out
with all of your
family and
friends to spend
a nice, summer
night with us!
