California Museum Tour
I chose the California Museum: Planes of Fame Air Museum, Chino, CA located at 7000 Merrill Ave. Ste 35 in Chino, Hours 9am to 5pm…Contact by Phone: 909-597-3722 …website: http://www.planesoffame.org
They also have a second location in Valle, Arizona for those who may be in that area. Contact by phone: 928-635-1000. What is great is both locations Active Duty Military get in FREE!!
The museum does offer volunteer opportunities if you are so inclined and want to spend some close up and personal time in one of their museums. They always take donations to help continue the restoration and availability of their museum displays. As well as you can join and become a member of the museum.
I played tourist for a day and had one of those times of my life, mostly because of my love and passion for planes. One of my missions in life is to fly someday, after missing my opportunity to join the Air Force by choice at that point I was too short to fly. So, now I can share with friends, classmates and this course my hopeless over the top passion for planes.
I paid my admission was given a map of the museum that is a guide through the collection of aircraft hangers. It took me about four-hours to look at all the displays as I soaked it intently in, tour and read at my leisure. The museum also had videos you could sit and watch in some of the hangars, which words could not describe that experience. The pictures are very incredible themselves of these well kept planes.
This museum was incredible, I got up early and drove over to the Planes of Fame Museum from Los Angeles where I stayed. The unique aspect about this museum is that most of their collection is in flyable condition and of course for a extra fee you can ride in the jump seat of some of the aircraft. I will add that the museum has many “one of a kind” aircraft in which the founders Paul E Garber and Mr. Ed Maloney obtained when there wasn’t any interest in historic aircraft. This collection has been moved many times to different hangers for display.
One of my most favored of the collection of aircraft is the sole surviving only flyable warbird left in the world, which is the: Northrop N9MB flying wing. A Horton Brothers glider, Japanese Mitsubishi “Zero” still includes its original engine. Most of the collection on display at this museum is rare Warbird Military Aircraft.
The whole collection on display at the museum consists of: Flying & Static Aircraft, their Restoration Projects, Military Vehicles and the 475th Fighter Group. The museum offers education about the aircraft and museum in their hands on aviation facility, theater, the member research library and they also offer an education program ( I am looking for free lessons!!).
Check this out, their museums offer an Aircraft/Facility Rental…for events, Member supported flights, you can book an heritage flight, book aircraft for airshows and you can rent the military vehicles.
The downfall I have or biggest complaint is I wished they had more room to showcase these aircraft. It made it a challenge to take pictures indoors, but I still give this museum a full rack of stars because it is one of the only museums you can find displayed aircraft these days. The museum does host an airshow every year which passed already this year but I put on my calendar as a “to do” for next year. The museum also have many other events including the Taste of Flight, please take a look at the website I included above the calendar looks exciting for the events offered.
I do believe this is one of the best museums in the country, I have heard the annual airshow is exceptional (I do plan to attend 2011), Planes of Fame Museum is a First-
Class restoration facility with excellent intimate experiences well worth the $11.00 entrance fee, I seriously could have been there all day, it was so interesting to read the full history of the WarFare Birds.
I also had the opportunity to notice several WW2 Vets there and they were not shy in sharing their experiences with me, what a treat!!

Outside California Museum:
I chose the Columbia Gorge Community Gorge Center Museum for my Museum of choice outside of California. The reason behind this is because I grew up in Oregon and lived in The Dalles for over 10 years so I chose this particular one due to close personal home root feelings. I have volunteered, worked in and given presentations and different events at this Museum. The museum has also donated to many of my causes through the years. I have also visited this museum in its beginnings and throughout its expansions. Being able to grow with a Museum of this nature is very inspiring and connecting.
This museum is located at: 5000 Discovery Drive in The Dalles, Oregon, contact phone: 541-296-8600. Hours 9am to 5pm daily. Website: http://www.gorgediscovery.org
This particular museum has many public opportunities to be involved which are in events, programs, group tours, office rental functions. Some of what the discovery Center offers (most frequently referred to as)...Public: Return of the Weird World Science Summer Day Camp for 1st to 3rd grade in the morning and 4th to 6th graders in the afternoons. The days are full of workshops, hands-on projects, and education to understand Biology, Chemistry and Physics through safe entertaining activities.
The Raptor Interpretive program and Education program 11am to 2pm daily Monday-Friday. Offering an experience and education with Birds of Prey. Including an opportunity to sponsor or adopt a Raptor go to the website above to see the list and prices. This also informs those interested in the actual cost to care for these Raptors.
The Columbia Gorge Discovery Center (CGDC) is modeled after a Native American Longhouse; I believe it is one of the most beautiful museums you will see. The architect to the construction of this museum makes a huge impression even before you walk through the exhibits. When you walk through the doors it stuns you the incredible beauty of the facility. So, you then question whether the exhibits will hold as high a standard as the building itself. The exhibits are just as incredible as the structure that holds them. This is a great place for kids, which offers a very nice area for kids called “kid’s explorer Room” to hide bones in the sand and then digging them up explaining that is what paleontologists do. Kids also get to balance a boat so it doesn’t sink and learn the technique behind it. There is also a life size Mastodon model that stands 13 feet tall, next to a cave for exploration, how it may have caused the ice age and how it affected the Columbia Gorge region. But you may want to peek at the recommended ages, not much for toddlers and elementary aged kids.
CGDC offers a wide variety of programs/events that are open to the public and some that you must register for as I mentioned above are also the ones I have been involved with and are the most important offered by the museum to me. I would suggest corresponding a trip with an even offered as a good idea to engage the whole family to what the museum offers, this is a great way to really observe the discovery center as well.
There is also a wonderful trail along the riverfront of The Dalles to the Discovery Center which is gorgeous and paved so the whole family can enjoy it, there are numerous areas to park and catch up on the trail as it paves its way to the museum, that is if you do not wish to do the whole trail walk approx. 5 miles.
This museum is located right off I-84 Exit 82 this is an official interpretive center of the National Scenic Area divided into the Discovery Center and Wasco County Historical Museum and has a lobby in the center dividing each side.
The Discovery wing side displays and exhibits Ice Age and its theories, mammoths, fossils, wildlife, geology, native people, the famous Oregon Trail, Lewis & Clark expedition and the Volcanic explosions, violent floods and earthquakes which shaped the Gorge.
The Wasco County Historical Wind houses displays and exhibits on the history, industry, agriculture and people past and present of Wasco County. Which include the Lewis and Clark Cargo, Street Scene, Cannery industry, Farming, Rail system, Salmon Fishing, missionaries, native people. Which extends outside including the interpretive Trail which surrounds and leads to the Discovery Center winding through the native vegetation, plants, flowers and viewpoints of the Columbia River Gorge.
I think the main feature of the museum is one of my favorite exhibits at the museum, which is the ongoing research by Ken Karsmizki on the Lewis and Clark expedition through this part of the Gorge area. Research shows they carried 30 tons of equipment, 33 men as part of their group and some of the actual equipment which includes: Indian artifacts, medicines, clothing, mathematical instruments, camp equipment and a replica of the actual transportation wagon they used. This is all fascinating to see on display at the Museum.
There is also a TV show on the Discovery Channel has been made of Karsmizki’s research and findings and can be viewed at the Museum. NASA and the Air Force have also helped with the Center.
The other very exciting exhibit is the Ice Age exhibit which is a permanent exhibit II, with a Columbian 13 13 foot mammoth and an interpretation of the role the ice age played in populating America. This display also tells the history behind why everything reached Mammoth proportions during the ice age and why people migrated during this time and the complex and incomplete theories of the ice age. I think what is important about this particular exhibit is its link to the Columbia Gorge in that the floods played a big part in creating the Gorge. I see how the display is also designed to spark interest and encourage further exploration of the Columbia Gorge region.
I also enjoy this Museum for its multitude of hands-on activities for both kids and adults. Including the seclusive by appointment only special exhibits that are not open to the public. There is a private collection with more than 1,100 locks, a basket collection, a photo and a book collection. Other collections are in the process of being displayed and you have access to see the process of them being assembled.
The museum offers a restaurant onsite~ Basalt Rock Café~ all homemade from scratch foods hot and cold, Oregon food products, history books, maps and souvenirs as well as unique gifts in the museum store. You must try the Oregon Taffy...made onsite!!

I would like to learn more about cultural studies and social sciences. Greek and Roman cultures have always fascinated me as well. I also am interested in learning different ways to access things on the internet which sounds like this course helps direct and teach us how to utilize a blog!!

President Obama's Cario Speech:
1. What is your brief one paragraph summary of this video?
Well I suppose our Middle East, Northern Ireland, peace efforts didn’t pan out the way it was intended and the building of trust that the Cairo Speech by President Obama that was thought to succeed with was unsuccessful therefore leaving most Americans disappointed. Obama administration got lost in the weeds of its own tactics and the steps failed to be achieved.
There has been a generation of tension that has existed so Obama and his envoy George Mitchell who served as the lead U.S. Negotiator for the solution to build the trust of the Israelis, Palestinians and Arab states to communicate what incentives the United States is prepared to offer to achieve a conflict-ending agreement would not be an easy task.
But again Obama, has delivered high end speeches one after another without backing his rhetoric, from his stumbles and abandoning promises you would think he thought it would be much easier without any experience on the level and scale that was needed what a disappointment and dismay about the future for supporters everywhere.
2. What are the histories, cultures, nations mentioned?

3. What information did you learn that you did not know before?

That the U.S. is here to help countries grow and confront who possesses a threat. Obama says “ I am convinced that in order to move forward, we must say openly the things we hold in our hearts, and that too often are said only behind closed doors.” “ Be conscious of God and always speak the truth.”
5. What did he say that relates to culture through either one of these items: the visual arts, drama, film, music, dance, literature, philosophy, religion?
