A replica of the English Stonehenge sits on a bluff overlooking the Columbia River in Washington. It was the first memorial to honor U.S. soldiers killed in World War I.
This Stonehenge is the creation, not of Druids, but of Sam Hill, a dreamer and entrepreneur who founded the Maryhill community along the shores of the Columbia in the early 1900s.
Memorial Honors Local Fallen Soldiers
Back then it was generally believed the English Stonehenge was built for human sacrifice. Hill believed that war was mankind’s greatest sacrifice. Thus he built his own Stonehenge to honor Klickitat County soldiers who died in World War I. Plaques bearing the names of the 13 soldiers killed in this war are attached to the inner circle of pillars.
Located in Klickitat County in southcentral Washington, Stonehenge was dedicated in 1918, but not completed until 1930. Hill died shortly after that and is buried on a hillside about 50 feet below his Stonehenge. A few hundred yards to the north is a newer memorial, this one bearing the names of local soldiers killed in World War II, Korea and Vietnam.
The dedication plaque at this Stonehenge reads:
In memory of the soldiers of Klickitat County who gave their lives in defense of their country. This monument is erected in the hope that others inspired by the example of their valor and their heroism may share in that love of liberty and burn with that fire of patriotism which death can alone quench.
While made of concrete, instead of stone, Washington’s Stonehenge is sufficiently similar to the real thing that British researchers from the University of Huddersfield descended upon Maryhill in July 2008 to conduct sound tests, in an effort to determine how sounds worked in that ancient English formation.
Views of Mighty Columbia Are Stunning
The English Stonehenge sits on a plain. Washington’s Stonehenge, on the other hand, sits on a high bluff which offers commanding views of the Columbia River Gorge for miles and miles. The small community of Maryhill is located below the bluff. This community is made up mainly of orchards which operate fruit stands in the summer.
Washington’s Stonehenge is located on Highway 14, about a mile east of the junction with Highway 97. It is visible from both roads, but the entrance is on Highway 14. Stonehenge is open year-round; there is no admission charge, except for special activities sponsored by Maryhill Museum of Art. The museum schedules plays, poetry readings and other activities during its open season, which runs from March 15 to November 15.
This Stonehenge Is Part of Maryhill Museum Complex
The American Stonehenge is part of the Maryhill Museum of Art complex. The Maryhill Museum is located three miles to the west on Highway 14. Highway 14 runs parallel to Interstate 84 in Oregon. Freeway travelers should exit at Biggs Junction, then cross the Sam Hill Bridge on Highway 97 to connect with Highway 14. Maryhill is located about 12 miles south of Goldendale, Washington, the nearest town of any size.
Highway 14 in Washington State is both desolate and stunning. On one side are golden rolling hills filled with orchards, crops and wind farms. On the other side is a verdant valley through which the mighty Columbia flows.
Tucked into the middle of all of this scenery in the tiny town of Maryhill, Washington sits Washington State’s very own Stonehenge.
Built in the early 1900s by Sam Hill (what in the Sam Hill? Yeah - that guy) as a memorial to WWI soldiers from Klickitat County who died in the war, Washington’s Stonehenge is a full-sized, near exact replica of the original. Walking through its symmetrical layout and peeking at the crops that show between its pillars, one almost expects to see a crop circle.
The drive and the views are gorgeous. The wind is ferocious (hence the wind generators, I suppose). If you need more than scenery and a roadside oddity, you can also stop in Maryhill and visit the Maryhill Winery and Maryhill Museum, which is Sam Hill’s former mansion on the Columbia. The museum is (as many mansions are) rumored to be haunted.

Our humble new podcast studio, with new kit.
You may wish to listen to a podcast discussing it. Not a regular mrbrown show, but a sound test and audio tour of the mrbrown show podcast studio. Only listen if you are interested in our podcast gear. Though there is a fun little recording I included at the end of the show.
Here the James Webb Space Telescope's flight instrument model (ISIM) is heading out of NASA Goddard's cleanroom for testing in the Acoustic Test Chamber at NASA Goddard. The tests will reproduce the acoustic environment of a rocket launch.
The ISIM passed the acoustic testing, which means that the instruments will survive the sound associated with being launched by a rocket!

The Electronics still require a lot of work before they're complete, it's definitely keeping my Dad busy. While he's been working on the code and hardware, I fitted all the components I could; IR receiver, proper cabling and one out of two speakers. It doesn't sound too shabby at the moment, and it's only going to get better.....

When in Nazareth PA, be sure to visit the Martin Guitar Factory and Museum. They offer an excellent free tour and they even allow photography! Here at the final step in production, is the sound testing where workers need to be able to actually play. www.martinguitar.com/
Pictured is the James Webb Space Telescope's flight instrument model (ISIM) in the Acoustic Test Chamber at NASA Goddard, about to undergo testing. Note the huge feed horns that reproduce the acoustic environment of a rocket launch.
How does this chamber work? It uses an altering flow of gaseous nitrogen to produce a sound level as high as 150 decibels for two-minute tests. That’s about the level of sound heard standing next to a jet engine during takeoff.

'Garbo Talks' said the posters for this movie. Many though because of her foreign accent she would fail the sound test like so many before her. The movie was a big hit.

My 'new' Baby arrived today.. a 20 year old High End Amplifier:
Harman Kardon Signature 2.1 (multi channel)
5 discrete channels, each 150 watts (4 Ohm); with only 0,03% THD ; and 100 (!!!) Amps High-Current capability.... This animal will serve also the most critical and hungry low impedance speakers like the old Kappa's etc..
Beside the original assignation (multi-channel for 5.1/DTS) I'm using it in a mostly unorthodox way: Running in a Bi-Amping configuration: one dedicated channel for each High and Low path on both speakers. Serving my Canton's RC609-DC with 2 x 150 watts each ;) wooowwww!!
So 4 channels used overall: one spare left ;).
Men.... This AMP has an incredible soundstage; Wide and Depth! One of the best imaging I've ever heard. And believe me, I've heard a lot of Amps... What a waste to use this diamond for multi-channel (5.1 / DVDs) !!! This is an amazing power station for audiophile stereo !!
And it is FAST! responding bandwith from 160kHz (!!)
First sound test here.. I've had to change the LEDs before which illuminates the Signature sign. They have been all faulty. This picture is taken after this initial job. Next job to be done: clean and adjjust power outstages of the the baby!! (see pictures above)
An F-15EX Eagle II zooms through the air during a flight test Oct. 31 at Eglin Air Force Base, Fla. The aircraft underwent various ground and flight acoustic testing to create a baseline noise level for use by the Department of Defense. This was the first time this type of in-depth digital acoustic sound testing was done on any F-15 model. (U.S. Air Force photo/Samuel King Jr.)
Here's a video/sound test of the new microphone/"dead cat" wind muffler camera attachment. It was fairly windy.
The Liberty Bell in Independence National Historic Park in Philadelphia (1752). City bells were used in colonial times to alert the population of civic danger or public proclamations. Philadelphia's first city bell, allegedly brought over by William Penn. It hung from a tree behind the Pennsylvania State House (Independence Hall). In 1751, the city decided to bring in a bell that could be heard at a much greater distance. The bell was ordered from the firm of Lester & Pack (today the Whitechapel Bell Foundry) for a little over £150 (about $30,700 today). During a sound test, the bell's rim cracked. It was recast in America the following year. Contrary to popular belief, the bell did not ring on July 4, 1776, as the Declaration of Independence was not immediately publically announced. However, it was rung four days later when it *was* read publically. After the disasterous Battle of Bradywine, patriots took the bell down from the tower and hid it in a false wall at the High German Evangelical Reformed Church of Allentown, in fear that it would be recast into munitions by the British when they took Philadelphia. It as returned to Independence Hall in 1785, after the clock tower was restored. It is uncertain how the bell got its famous crack, though popular belief is that it cracked when ringing upon the death of Chief Justice John Marshall.
In 1876, a new bell was produced for Independence Hall using four melted-down cannons--one used by each side in the Revolutionary War and the Civil War. The replica bell was cast for the Centennial Exposition being held in Philadelphia. However, many visitors came to visit the original bell during the exposition anyway. After the exposition, it became a traveling beacon of liberty. It was often a big draw at other World's Fairs held in the nation. The City of Philadelphia reluctantly agreed to relinquish custody of the bell to the National Park Service so that it could become part of Independence National Historic Park.
New acoustic purchased on Wednesday from my friend Ed the sound guy at Musicians Pro Shop in the Valley. It was a toss up between this one and another Epiphone that Ed recommended. After a few hours sound-testing, I finally went with this one. Ed gave me a good deal too.

As I have mentioned over the past months, our son Alexander had been training in the Seattle area.
Over the past year, Alexander and his wife Jamie made changes in their lives. They wanted to raise their daughters, Nicole and Roslyn near both of their families, and be involved a community - long term.
Last spring, Alexander decided to leave the US Marine Corp, and pursue a career in law enforcement in the Seattle area. In between being "Mr. Mom", and college student, he made many trips to the Puget Sound, testing for the three largest jurisdictions in the area. It was a grueling process, physical testing,
written tests, essays, and interviews, another round of interviews, psychological, and lie detector, another round of physical, more essays, and interviews/panels with top officers and detectives from each department.
With thousands of candidates for each, Sheriffs, and Police Departments, Alexander was in the top 1% of each agency.
During all of this, Jamie stayed home with their daughters, Nicole and Roslyn. You may recall, we visited them in November. We took pictures of her at Fort Eustis, in her office. Sergeant First Class, Sexual Assault Response Coordinator, for the Brigade and Installation, Jamie is also in the Army Airborne.
On Thursday, February 6, Alexander "Changed Uniforms," from Marine Corps blues to King County Sheriff's Deputy Green. He was sworn in by the new King County Sheriff who ironically began his career at Island County Sheriff's Office in 1975; where Michael still works!
Alexander spent the past five months at the Washington State Basic Law Enforcement Academy graduating as president of his class with honors, along with thirty truly dedicated young men and woman.
He has five more weeks of extensive, King County Sheriff's Deputy training and another year of field training.
My Father Kenny, his grandfather attended the Ceremony; he graduated in 1947, Michael in 1988 both from the same academy. Alexander is the third generation of our family to join Law Enforcement!
Soon Jamie and the girls will be here...And that is another Story!
Many Blessings for all in Law Enforcement - they are Guardians of our Communities.
The wobbling is not from machine, but from the table. The table is just a couple of thin masonite sheets with loosely packed paper between. Because doll sewing do not really require top speed the need to replace table is not big.
But when I am using the serger (not seen in this vid) it is really wobbling much, that the small stuff will jump around and fall down. ;)
EDIT:
This is my main machine, the Pfaff Hobbymatic 919 from end of 80's (or mid 80's?)
metal internal, 75% metal shell.
I may post video when I am sewing on serger and the vintage 50's Pfaff 332! (the two ones are to left of this machine, so you can't see them)
The machine in background is Brother Innovis 1200. I do not play well with electronic machine so now I only use its embroidery part. If I had known that I would naturally buy a embroidery-only machine!
EDIT: And now I am not entirely sure because I am deaf, but if you are hearing computer fans and all that, yes I have a big hulk of computer opposite side, facing this sewing machine! (I do not play well with laptops, it is the keyboard layout....)
