Where'd ya get that name?
North Oaks (Ramsey County) was originally the hobby farm of railroad magnate James J Hill. Incorporated in 1956 it is now well know as a very affluent community. Way to go James!
Dinky Dome
Designed by John V. Koester Originally The Minnesota Bible College the Dinky dome is named because of its adjacency to the neighboring commercial district. The building is square in dimension at 99’8” by 99’8”standing three stories tall. The glass dome centered over the building is made of steel double structure truss-framing creating two domes of glass.

Designed by A.M. Radcliff and completed in 1870. The building served as the Dakota County Courthouse until 1974. It became Hastings City Hall in 1993. The structure incorporates Italian Villa and Romanesque Revival features and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It remains one of the most dominant structures in downtown Hastings, even though an unsympathetic addition in 1955 damaged its original integrity.
Minnesota State Capitol
Designed by Cass Gilbert and modeled after Saint Peter’s Basilica in Rome - the unsupported marble dome is the second largest in the world, after Saint Peter’s. It is the third building to serve t h i s purpose: the first capitol w a s destroyed by fire in 1881, and the second was completed in 1883, but was considered to be too small almost immediately. Gilbert drew ire for choosing stone from Georgia rather than native Minnesota stone. A 1st Capitol compromise was eventually made where the base of the building and interior spaces used varieties of native stone, including Kasota stone, and the rare Pipestone used by Native Americans for their peace pipes.

Founded in 1887 by Russian immigrants (Austrians, Hungarians, Bohemians, Slovaks, Czechoslovaks, Russians, and Poles), continues to thrive while persevering through numerous hardships over the last 100+ years.
Cathedral of Saint Paul Designed by Emmanuel Louis Masqueray is one of the largest and most historic churches in the United States and is rightly listed as a landmark on the National Register of Historic Places. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a treasure for all Americans. It compares to the great cathedrals of Europe. This, the fourth Cathedral of Saint Paul, was the dream of Archbishop John Ireland, who secured the site in 1904. The 120-foot-wide dome has a clay tile surface overlaid with copper. A copper-clad lantern approximately 30 feet tall on top of the base lends to the Cathedral’s overall height of 306 feet. Masqueray completed only a few interior designs before he died suddenly in 1917. Consequently, the archbishops and designers who succeeded Ireland and Masqueray assumed the responsibility of transforming the Cathedral’s stark, whitewashed interior into a decorative masterpiece.

• “Don’t you think a stereo cassette player that you can listen to while walking around is a good idea?” Those were the (CONTINUED) words of Sony’s chairman Masaru Ibuka back in 1979. Ibuka traveled extensively and loved music and pitched the idea to company officials. On July 1 of that year, the Sony Walkman hit retailers’ shelves. • The year’s midpoint occurs on July 2, with 182 days passed and 182 yet to come (except in Leap years, which have one extra day in the first half). On this day in 1937, Amelia Earhart and her navigator Fred Noonan were heard from for the last time as they attempted to make the first round-the-world flight. Their last contact was from the vicinity of Howland Island in the Pacific Ocean. • Chevrolet rolled its one-millionth Corvette off the assembly line in Bowling Green, Kentucky, on July 2, 1992. It was a white LT1 roadster with a red interior and black roof, carrying a price tag of more than $31,000. Another automotive milestone took place on this day in 2005, when the very last Ford Thunderbird was manufactured. The Ford plant at Wixom, Michigan, produced the platinum car with black interior. Employees of the plant signed their autographs on the inside fender panels, and the two-seater was given to the great-granddaughter of company founder Henry Ford, Josephine Ford. • The Civil War’s Battle of Gettysburg took place July 1-3, 1863, the largest military battle in U.S. history. Confederate troops of 75,000 under Robert E. Lee met the 97,000 men of the Union Army commanded by George Meade in the small Pennsylvania town, population 2,400. By the end of the three-day conflict, more than 51,000 were dead, along with more than 5,000 horses. It’s estimated that 569 tons of ammunition were used in the assault, and 634 cannons were positioned throughout the 25-square-mile area. The Confederates were defeated in the battle, but it was not to be the end of the war. It raged on for nearly two more years, although Lee’s army never

recovered from the devastation. • The U.S. Second Continental Congress met from July 1-4, 1776, in Philadelphia’s Independence Hall to debate, revise and adopt the Declaration of Independence. The document had been drafted by Thomas Jefferson, listing grievances against the King of England and breaking ties between the colonies and the mother country. Fifty-six men later signed the document, and it was read publicly for the first time on July 8. • It somehow seems appropriate that two of America’s founding fathers, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, should pass away on July 4. Jefferson, the nation’s third president and author of the Declaration of Independence, and John Adams, the second president, died within hours of each other in 1826, on the 50th anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence. • An announcement at the July 4, 1939, Yankees game saddened baseball fans across the nation. Yankee first baseman Lou Gehrig stood before the crowd and announced his retirement from baseball after being stricken with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The 36-year-old called himself “the luckiest man on the face of the earth” for having played 17 seasons in the major leagues. His amazing record of 2,130 consecutive games endured for 56 years, and his record 23-career grand slams remains unbeaten. Gehrig passed away less than two years later, and his number “4” uniform was retired, making him the first player to be given this honor. • The world’s first successful clone, Dolly the sheep, was born at Scotland’s Roslin Institute on July 5, 1996. She produced six lambs before her death in 2003. Dolly was stuffed and is displayed at the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh. • Woolton, England’s annual parish church garden fair was the site of a momentous meeting on July 6, 1957. In addition to the dog show and scheduled brass band, John Lennon’s Quarrymen had been invited to play. Fifteen-year-old Paul McCartney was in the audience and was so impressed with the music, he asked Lennon if he might play some tunes for him. Just two weeks later, McCartney was invited to join the Quarrymen, and the rest, as they say, is history. • Chicago’s Comiskey Park was the site of Major League Baseball’s first All-Star game on July 6, 1933. The American League defeated the National League by a score of 4 to 2. • Sandra Day O’Connor grew up on an Arizona ranch, where she became an accomplished horsewoman at a young age. After graduating from Stanford University’s law school, she worked as Arizona’s assistant Attorney General, before making the move to politics as a state senator. On July 7, 1981, President Ronald Reagan appointed O’Connor as the first female justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, a position she retained until her retirement in 2006.

▲ “The kids are all home for the summer, which means more TV squabbles. We limit their television viewing with coupons, which they can use to “reserve” the TV. They write the time they’d like to use the television, in 30-minute increments, on the coupon, and it gets taped to the inside cabinet of the entertainment center. This has worked well, since it’s first-come, first-served”. -R.E. in Tennessee

FIREWORKS What better way to celebrate Independence Day than with fireworks? Here’s some information about the dynamic displays that light up the night sky. • It’s thought that gunpowder originated in China about 1000 A.D. Firecrackers consisted of bamboo shoots filled with black powder and were used to celebrate the new year. Early fireworks were not the colorful ones we know today, rather just loud explosions designed to scare away evil spirits. • China remains the largest producer of fireworks, making about 90 percent of the world’s supply. America imports close to $200 million worth of fireworks each year and manufactures over $230 million of fireworks as well. • Color was first added to

fireworks in Italy in the 1830s. Different metals are responsible for the variety of colors we see lighting up the sky. Copper creates blue, barium produces green, calcium is responsible for orange, and sodium makes yellow. The addition of aluminum and titanium will add bright white to the display, and a mix of strontium salts and lithium salts will produce red. • Sparklers were created around 1880, and while they may seem tame in comparison to other fireworks, sparklers actually burn at temperatures exceeding 2,000° F. (1,093° C), over 15 times the boiling point of water. Just three sparklers burning together produce the same heat as a blowtorch! Children under five receive the most injuries from this source. • The black powder used in the manufacture of fireworks is classified as “low explosive.” This means its detonation velocity is about 100 yards per second. Dynamite falls into the

category of “high explosive” with a speed of greater than 1,000 yards per second. • The illegal M-80 fireworks, which simulate the sound of gunfire, are officially known as “military rifle fire simulators.” • A record-setting fireworks display was set off in Portugal in 2006, consisting of 66,326 fireworks. • When King Louis XVI of France married Marie Antoinette in 1770, an impressive fireworks show of 20,000 rockets followed the ceremony to celebrate the union. More than 200,000 people packed Paris’ Place de la Concorde to view the display. However, tragedy struck afterward when a stampede occurred as people left the area, resulting in 800 deaths. • Those who manufacture and set off fireworks must wear only cotton clothing, due to the fact that static electricity in synthetic fabrics can ignite firecrackers.
• Recent studies have shown that colored smoke from fireworks can be damaging to the cells that line the lungs. Breathing the smoke can be toxic to the epithelial cells, with orange cited as the most dangerous, followed by violet, red and yellow. • Every year, Disney World produces upwards of 1,000 fireworks shows. Beginning in 2004, Disney started using compressed air rather than gunpowder to launch fireworks, resulting in a reduction of smoke and fumes. This, along with electronic timers, increased the accuracy of the timing, enabling perfect choreography to music. • Although there are more than 6,000 fireworks-related injuries in the United States every year, the rate is actually on the decline, probably because the public’s preference has switched from the backyard variety to large professional shows.

A lot of intuitive people I know, including myself, are in a psychic funk lately. There seems to be a lot difficulty with meditating and in general being able to concentrate on just about anything. Along with that, I have noticed that the people I’m reading are asking a lot of questions about vivid dreams they are having. Dreams that just don’t go away as easily as a dream typically does. I don’t know if these two things are connected but I suspect they are. Typically when intuitives are out of sorts with their gifts, readings start to feel familiar due to the repeated topics involved. Currently, that topic is dreams. Dreams are a way for our minds to sort out the things we’ve experienced during the day. Since we experience so many things daily, it’s not uncommon for our dreams to be a jumbled mess. It’s when your dream is very clear that I would suggest paying attention. Our guides use the dream state to give us information. It’s a very easy way for us to receive information that we need to go about our day. When we are asleep, we won’t fight our guides suggestions as easily as we do when we are awake. Think about how many times a day we go against our “gut” instincts because others

When you have a dream that just won’t go away, consider paying attention to it. Try writing down the details of it. Were your loved ones who had passed over in this dream? Were they talking to you? Did you get messages about something happening in your life? When our dreams are very clear it’s probably not really a dream. It’s probably a U if!! fmvdubou! tzdijd vision being given to you by your guides and loved ones. I treasure these times when my loved ones come to give me information.

â&#x2014;? In the late 1960s, J.I. Rodale, creator of Prevention magazine, was invited to be a guest on the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dick Cavett Show.â&#x20AC;? After talking confidently about his good health and predicting that he would live to be 100, he seemed to doze off. The host and another guest chuckled a bit about the apparent nap, until they realized that Rodale had died. Needless to say, the show never aired. ********************* Thoughts for the Day: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Football isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a contact sport, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a collision sport. Dancing is a contact sport.â&#x20AC;? -- Vince Lombardi
â&#x2014;? According to the U.S. Census, the Pacific states (including Hawaii) are home to the men with the longest life expectancy, while women tend to live longer in the South.
â&#x2014;? The oldest goldfish on record lived 41 years. His name was Fred.
â&#x2014;? You may be surprised to learn that hot and cold running water has been around for thousands of years. Members of the upper class in ancient Egypt used copper tubing to pipe it into their homes.
â&#x2014;? If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re planning a trip Down Under, be sure you save some time for the Australian state of Tasmania. In the capital, Derwent, is the critically acclaimed Museum of Old and New Art, or MONA. One of the unusual -- I would even venture to say unique in the world -- offerings is the after-hours â&#x20AC;&#x153;naturist tour.â&#x20AC;? Yes, that means naked. A naked tour guide leads naked tourists through the museum. Even the security guards are naked.
â&#x2014;? When paper currency is no longer in good enough condition to be circulated, it can be shredded and used in products such as shingles and insulation. You may have cash on your roof!
â&#x2014;? Iowa has the highest literacy rate in America.
â&#x2014;? Beeswax candles are valued largely because they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t drip as other candles do, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also very durable. Archaeologists have found still-pliable beeswax candles in Egyptian tombs, and some have been recovered in good condition from sunken ships.
â&#x2014;? If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re like the average American, you will eat 1.5 tons of food this year.
â&#x2014;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s well-known that the United States is a melting pot of nationalities. At the end of the 1800s, New York City was so diverse that it had more Irish than any city except Dublin, and a larger Russian population than was to be found at that time in the city of Kiev. The only two cities in the world that had more German speakers were Vienna and Berlin, and Milan and Naples had fewer Italians than New York.
â&#x2014;? It was revered Chinese philosopher Confucius who made the following sage observation: â&#x20AC;&#x153;He who learns but does not think is lost. He who thinks but does not learn is in great danger.â&#x20AC;?

This week has been an eventful one over the years! Follow along as Tidbits investigates several happenings that have occurred during the first week of July. â&#x20AC;˘ Happy Canada Day! July 1 commemorates the joining of the British North American colonies of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and the province of Canada into a federation of four provinces, an 1867 event. This act created the Dominion of Canada, and July 1 was officially declared Dominion Day. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t until 1982 that the holidayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name was changed to Canada Day, when the British Parliament relinquished all political rights over Canada. Although countrymen had been singing â&#x20AC;&#x153;O Canadaâ&#x20AC;? since 1880, when the song was composed by Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s national musician Calixa Lavalee, it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t proclaimed the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s national anthem until Dominion Day, 1980. â&#x20AC;˘ On the first day of July in 1963, the U.S. Post Office instigated its new coding system to enable faster processing of mail. They dubbed it the Zoning Improvement Plan, or ZIP, for short. A five-digit code was assigned to every address across America, with the first number designating the geographical area, the second two digits identifying a regional center, and the last signifying which post office. Today, there are more than 42,000 ZIPs nationwide.
