Hello, I'm the executive director at Shwell and County Historical Society and Museum Travis Gross And I'd like to welcome you to this year's edition of our Collectors and Collections program this year. We have 10 displays on hand or anything ranging from original Barbies to schlitz brewing company memorabilia to old-timey radio shows So sit back enjoy the show. Hopefully you learn something from from our guest presenters And maybe next year you could be a presenter yourself. All right. Thank you Hi, I'm Kathy Redsack and I'm from Sheboygan and welcome to collectors and they're collectibles at the Sheboygan County Historical Museum My collection actually started when I was a little girl These are my actual toys that I played with Between the years 1959 and 1964. Well, a lot of women don't like to tell their age I guess that's an okay thing when you're talking about collectibles Down here we have my original Barbie doll with the bubble cut. I did have an original number one with the ponytail and I traded her in For the twist and turn which is in the orange bathing suit next to the Barbie doll Ken is original. He has the fuzz hair. That's how you can tell he's an original Alan is Midge's boyfriend He came a little bit later in the series and Midge is in the box and then there's Skipper who is Barbie's little sister The clothing that I had with all the accessories are actually depicted in the yellow for Skipper The blue for Ken and the pink for Barbie Barbie's outfits were designed by a designer Most of them have zippers Snaps and working buttons again, my range is from probably 1959 to about 1964 As we move down in my display. I do have a couple other Things that are a little bit unique to my collection. I have my original autograph book. It was from when I was in fourth grade There's some things that unfortunately cannot be pulled back from there But it's kind of a fun piece to have. I have two of the comic books that came out They sold for 12 cents a piece Two of her story books and did you know just as a point that Barbie was an actual cheesehead? She was born in Willow, Wisconsin on March 9th I also have some of the cutouts. I don't unfortunately have the paper dolls themselves But I do have some of their outfits And I have a lot of the hallmark ornaments. I have a picture of my tree, which is done in all Barbie ornaments the one in front Right here is actually a signed Patricia Andrews piece of hallmark Patricia Andrews was the designer for most of the hallmark ornaments for the earlier issues When I was a little girl, I had a jumper that was an aqua wool and my mother Saved up a lot of money to get that jumper for me and she had One of her friends make a jumper to match my Barbie doll For my Barbie doll and I have a picture of that with my Barbie doll there As most little fashion divas of our time we idolized Barbie. Barbie was the doll for us We got rid of our Betsy Wetsies. We got rid of our bride dolls We got rid of our walking dolls and we moved on to the sophisticated world of Barbie and as such I also became a member of her fan club These are all of the magazines from her original fan club along with my membership card and the stickers that went with it I am going to move over a little bit to this other table where I have the dream house in the fashion shop The dream house is Barbie's home away from home when she wasn't on the road. This is where she lived You know Barbie was a fashion model as a teenager and she moved from Willows, Wisconsin. I suppose it was too small of a town to New York City and eventually off to Malibu But this was her home She also had a fashion store now the fashion stores the dolls in the dream house and the fashion shop are not my original Boys those I did purchase after in later years the outfits however Duty picks some of the original clothing There's the green dress in the fashion shop the red dress in the fashion shop as well as the first stole in the fashion shop and The lady that's purchasing a wedding dress is Actually an original Barbie item The dress that's on the doll in the dream house the knit one was made by my grandmother She knit that dress from my Barbie doll I Have the original case that I carried or more or less Shlucked from house to house every Saturday morning because we played with our Barbie dolls and I also have the bed that was made by Susie goose Susie goose was not a Mattel product as Barbie was but the bed was made for Barbie doll use On this table, I have put together furniture Unfortunately, I only have a few pieces of it put together furniture was made after the dream house because the dream houses were cardboard And they weren't holding up as well. So they made these plastic Pieces that you could put together and build furniture My original Barbie game. I have a photograph of me at Christmas with our box TV Showing me opening up my Barbie doll game that I received as a gift that year The other dolls on this table I have bought on secondary market Some of them are the anniversary editions That came out others are cross collectibles if you are an Elvis collector You have Barbie loves Elvis if you're into NASCAR you have a NASCAR Barbie there's also a Harley Barbie and of course like I said Barbie was a cheesehead. So we have a Wisconsin cheerleader What not to do with some of your Barbies is Trying to play with them over too hard I do have a little bit of an example of that where one of my one of the dolls I picked up has cut hair a Lot of girls cut the hair on their Barbies as a rebellion to the long flowing ponytail that Barbie had Another one is the jacket on one of the dolls is quite deteriorated And that was from bad from keeping it in an unsafe environment for collectibles And the car is a little bit beat up that car was actually given to me by a friend of mine And she thought that because I had a Barbie collection that I should have a car for Barbie The other two dolls are actually bought again on secondary market. They're part of a collector's series And that's what you're finding more and more now are the collectible series the Christmas series cross collectibles and boxed up Barbies and That's basically my collection I love Barbie I wanted to become a fashion designer because of Barbie I didn't but I'm working accounting, but Barbie has been part of my life for like ever and collecting and finding the pieces again in My basement or in boxes has been just a real joy And I hope that Barbie brings joy to a lot of little girls going forward Barbie sold for three dollars originally and there's there's three Barbie sold every minute in the world So Barbie is a huge huge success Hi, my name is Jessica check and my husband and Bradley and I Are collectors of the vintage arcades here on display at the Sheboygan County Museum? We live in Green Bay and have been collecting for many years So the exhibit has been up for about six months and it's coming to an end this weekend But it has been a really good experience working with everyone here at the museum our collection includes a lot of Different games kind of a variety So we have everything from very classic titles that you would see or that you may remember like Frogger Donkey Kong there's a cuban on display here to a little more Unique games like bubbles or three stooches that may not be as familiar We also tried to bring in some newer titles one that's recognizable as fix it Felix That was part of the the Disney movie from a couple years back. So You know, there's a lot of unique characteristics of the games that we've tried to relate to the public Some of them have very unique artwork or a unique story behind them Technology during this time during the late 70s early 80s was progressing very quickly so If you read some of the information on the games, it'll go through what makes that game special how it was significant What part or feature or technology was new and different at the time? so We've you know in addition to the games had some collectibles on display to really capture Just how big the arcade craze was during that time. It wasn't just the arcade games It was lunchboxes and posters and stickers and patches and everything you could think of so we tried to really bring that Feel and that vibe back to the museum to relate to the public If you would like to see more about the collection or read some information about it. We do maintain a Facebook page It's called silver coin arcade think it like a quarter silver coin arcade So you can find more information and pictures there, but we have really enjoyed our time at the museum and talking with the public and Working with the community Hi, I'm Bernie Markovich. My hobby is needlepoint. I have been doing this for 35 years I was interested in needlepoint when I was a boy my grandmother used to do it Unfortunately, she only did pre-works and then on top of it She only worked in beige wool and I thought this is not what I want to be doing So I didn't I didn't start then my mother taught me how to embroider that was fun for a while But you know pillowcases how many of those can you make so? About 35 years ago. The late Sarah Axel got me started with needlepoint. She said you'd really like doing it So what I did is I bought a Canvas from her the bell pole that's down on the end with the roses and That was the very first piece that I had done. I realized that in order for me to Actually Activate this hobby I needed to complete something so that was the very first piece the roses in the foliage on that bell pole were already worked in I did the stripes the background color and And I completed it in a reasonable length of time and I have ever since been hooked on that The biggest work that I have done are the six panels that start here. They're the creation the six pieces Were kits that came from England. They were approximately a hundred dollars a piece and it took me three years I did two a year the combination with the six pieces is over 369,000 stitches I Think that it's probably going to become an alter frontal at my church for advent Because it's based on the creation and that's the be beginning of the church year the other pieces that I have here our Kits as well I've got traditional pieces like this English cruel work What could become a pillow cover? I've got bold paisley Pieces I've got fruit every single one of these is different some of them The piece right behind me. I did in a month's time. It's petty point. Those are smaller stitches Worked on canvas that has smaller holes more holes to the inch This is what a pre-work piece looks like This is all row point. It's even smaller and that's worked with a single piece of wool and It takes a lot of time These color sheets are what do you use when you're working with your? Candices the The colors are not necessarily the colors that you're working with You may be working with a shade or something like that, but in order to make the canvases Legible you have to see the difference in the colors So what would happen and I'm going to get up now and show you this very elaborate Paisley piece Here's the worksheet It's got the colors running down the side Here's the actual canvas with the colors going down the side and The corresponding pieces of wool and you got to make this all work So when I did this I did each one of the larger paisleys first Like these and then I went around the edge and then I filled in the other colors You do what is I think best for you I I start my day when I'm working on a canvas and I date all of them. So I started this canvas on the 30th of May this year and it has 48,000 stitches and this was done Two months later and What we what you will see on the edge of these is a black border That is for the person that Converses into pillows because I don't want to lose any of the the colored work that was in there So she said just do three strands all the way around I do five because I don't want her to chop off anything these pieces down at the end Were hand painted canvases they are always the most expensive this is petty point and I started this on the 2nd of March and I don't have a finished date, but it didn't take that long Sometimes I'll put my initials down in the corner and the year that I've done it Sometimes I don't but the bottom line is is that I will knock out two to three pieces of this every year I've got a basement full of a finished canvases, but unfinished works. I Will sometimes do these as Christmas gifts special occasion gifts I did this pillow as a Christmas gift last year. It was absolutely stunning when it was finished It's got it's got the birds that you can barely see in that in that canvas with the pears and the the cherries going around it and So Pat Vaughn actually assembled the pillow The kit was approximately a hundred and twenty five dollars. There was another forty dollars for the the the fabric For the backing of the pillow the trim that went on it and then another fifty dollars for for Pat Vaughn It's not an inexpensive hobby, but the thing is is this this stuff wears like iron. It's absolutely amazing. I have in the past bought unfinished Canvases that someone started and never finished And I will take out all the stitches the beige part and I will will start all over again and sometimes I buy those at estate sales. So it's a rewarding hobby It's it's color There are things like on this this piece here the cruel part Was was pre-worked. I bought it at a needlepoint shop in Milwaukee. I designed all of this to make it bigger and The thing is is that it came out quite nice, but the geometry Yes, got to start somewhere and you got to end somewhere and you hope that it all works out I actually do pillows that will have quotations on them and I just stick the needle in the canvas and I'll start the words and It it works out. It just works out And I think that because of the experience that I've had with it, but I'll tell you of all the things that I do This has been one of the most rewarding things because I can do it at home. I can do it in a chair I don't have to lift it. I don't have to drag it any place else. All I have to do is finish it. So Needle point is difficult to find. It's out of fashion right now. I buy my kits from a Irmins in London And I find that it's it's really a nice hobby If you want to do needle point stockings for your grandchildren or stuff like that Those kits are available if you can find the catalog and I think any company Company that deals with embroidery Crocheting and stuff like that would probably have needle point kits. So I had I recommended highly and of course Don't forget holiday memories is just around the corner We're up to our eyeballs in Christmas here at the museum and we're ready to start next week Thank you. Hi, my name is Sherri Becker and I brought my autographed album collection today The first one. I'll talk about is with Peter Frampton. I met him at summer fest. I don't recall the year But this is a picture of him signing the autographed album as you can see here on the bottom At first he wrote to cherry and then he said wait a minute. I think I spelled your name wrong So that's me in the corner up there spelling out my name. Sherri the first Album that really got me started as far as collecting Different signatures was 38 special and that's when they played in Sheboygan around 1994 And from them from then on it pretty much kind of became an obsession for me Back here. I have firefall. That's when they played at Lake Fest in Sheboygan and To this day, I'm still good friends with them and have them on Facebook and when they come around town They usually will give me a call to come out see the show Back here, I have Barry Williams people know him as Greg Brady from the Brady Bunch He was also playing with like the cow sills The Bay City Rollers, which I didn't get their autograph as well Probably one of my favorites is lover boy over here Matt for net who is the drummer has some awesome stories to tell for example this album right down here a Lot of people think that that's Mike Reno who's the lead singer of lover boy They think that this is Actually him in his pants, but it's really the photographer's 13 year old daughter because Mike Reno could not fit in these pants. Oh Let's see here The fix I'm also friends with them yet, too. So when they do come around the Wisconsin area usually they'll give me a call as well And what's nice is because one band will Be in the same venue as with another band. That's how I ended up becoming known with other Different bands and getting their signatures as well. Oh This is my brother from another mother. He's actually with the guest who and Had to get a close-up with him just because a lot of people were asking me at the Wild Center if that is my brother I should have just said yes and Oh, these are some albums that I had from when I was a teenager They are records. However, I won't play them just because they're I don't want to scratch them at all and they are double-sided and Yeah, so basically This is my collection on blue Easter cult also our friends of mine. They played in Sheboygan recently as well and Oh, one of my oldest Striper was one of my favorite bands back in the 80s I was able to get their signatures as well and then I met them again 15 years later So that's when I had them sign the actual pictures So other than that, I have over 3,000 albums These are all the ones that I have signed and my goal is to get more, but thank you very much my name is Mary Mines and I've been interested in dolls for as long as I can remember I have all of my childhood dolls thanks to my parents having kept them and I started collecting seriously in 1987 I'm my number one Barbie here is the prize of my collection She's one of the first Barbies ever made the blondes were made Two to one to the Burnett. So she's very rare. She has her original stand and her original outfit And then next to her is a number two Barbie Yet she's dressed in a very rare outfit called Roman holiday the one next to her is a number three and She is wearing commuter set The next number three is wearing an outfit called Easter parade and my brunette number three is wearing gay Parisian those four outfits Were made only in 1959 and then they were discontinued. So they're very hard to find My first Barbie is right here. I bought her myself. My parents never bought me a Barbie So I found her at a Ben Franklin store in Port Washington when I was about eight years old and I bought her with my birthday money And my other first Barbie is This one down here. She's also wearing one of my original outfits the rest I've collected over the years my friend Diane and I go to estate sales garage sales doll shows Conventions and I've collected all of these over the years I have a lot of very hard to find outfits and some easy to find outfits Down this way are a lot of the mod era. It's called dolls including Barbie's friends Stacy Christie PJ Jew Excuse me Julia a lot of other dolls. These are twist and turn Barbies And I have all these dolls in their original outfits. This is Barbie's boyfriend Ken over here and Then down on this section These are just a few of the dolls that I have in their original boxes Some of them do have their original wrist tags like this skipper Which is very hard to find and then down on this end a lot of these are Barbies little sister skipper and her friends scooter and ginger and There's a fluff over here or and Moving on we have Cho Cho Chan. This is a skipper doll from Japan They were only sold in Japan. So these are really hard to find in the United States She is not wearing her original outfit Then over here we have Francie dolls Francie's friend Casey right here and This is a black Francie again. These were very hard to find. They weren't on the market very long They were made in the 70s. They weren't very popular. So Mattel pulled them from the market So they're very hard to find and this particular outfit is also extremely rare in The box if you can still find it it would be worth anywhere from three to four thousand dollars. I Did not pay that much for those And then my friend Diane also brought a Few Tammy dolls over here She's made by ideal Tammy's made by ideal and This is posing Tammy Tammy Ted her brother and pepper, which is her little sister. This is another doll. I collect. She's by Kenner and she's called Darcy These three are original Darcy's This is Darcy's friend Erica and her friend Dana Darcy never had a boyfriend. She was only on the market for two or three years and she was discontinued because she didn't have the Impact of competing with Barbie that Kenner had hoped for but she's an extremely high quality doll with a lot of nice outfits as well And then I also do Barbie restorations For example, this is a photo of a before picture the doll's hair was badly cut her face needed new paint She was very mistreated and This is the result of re-rooting her And I made her An original outfit so never throw away those old dolls they can still be somebody's treasure I'm Rick Seidemann, and this is my son Noah He's gonna tell us about his outfit and some of the clothing and things he has on I got powder horn holds powder kind of powder Gun powder.

What about what about your fire lack?  Can you can you go to shoulder? Can you do make ready? present fire Very good. We're here showing off our re-enacting Collection I guess we re-enact the French War and it's kind of funny because when I got contacted by the Historical Society To bring my collection here. I really didn't think of myself as a collector and I've got patch collections and other collections but I didn't really think of my French War re-enacting stuff is a collection I still didn't even up until like a couple days ago, but when I was coming here yesterday I was thinking about and I had all my bins. I'm like I am a collector and What I really am a collector of is I guess the different clothing the different Interpretations the different impressions that I can do as a re-enactor and I started out doing re-enacting in 1997 I went to an event over at the farmers and sportsmen's club is called a fur trade rendezvous actually No, I should take that back. It was right here. It was a fur trade rendezvous right here at the Historical Society My dad invited me to it and that's what got me into re-enacting And so I started going to all these fur trade ones and the one that got me into French War was at the farmers and sportsmen's club and ever since then I started Actually I joined that group and that was doing this impression over here Rogers Rangers. They were the Scouts For the British Army during the French in anywhere They wore green uniforms sometimes brown uniforms gray uniforms But uniforms that blended in the woods and they fought the French and the Americans in their own style a hidden run guerrilla type warfare And then after a while I ventured away from doing Rangers. I wanted to do the British red coat so I wanted to stick with the same type of Tactics and I went to a British light infantry uniform and that's this here But I'll talk a little bit more about that after I talk about some of the other impressions I have my main impression is British light infantry and the 55th regiment and over here is a Privates coat Like what the British Army most the British Army use and this is a 55th regiment coat This is what they would have looked like their coats will look like if when they came off the boats at Nova Scotia And then in New York in 1757 these long Coat tails the bright yellow lace the green facings what we call facings and that that identified this regiment as the 55th these green facings in the yellow lace and They would be wearing a hat like this called a tricorn hat or or cocked hat and their Commander was a man named Lord George Augustus by Count Howe and he When he got to New York met Major Robert Rogers who commanded the Rangers and he went out on scouts With Robert Rogers trying to find better tactics for the British Army to use better Clothing equipment and what he came up with in 1757 was a coat similar to this it was cut down short shorter than the Highland coats They took the lace off the coats They took their tricorn hats cut them down into short round caps with two Two to two and a half inch brims and that's what they fought the Ticonderoi campaign in 1758 unfortunately for him in the opening skirmish of the battle he was shot in the lungs and perished immediately and after the campaign these uniforms weren't very Well received by the British Army and the soldiers and the men and then when winter came They definitely weren't very warm for the soldiers So they went back to more of the the former style, but what the British Army did was Create a light infantry company in every regiment and that's this uniform. That's that was my main impression for a number of years 55th regiment company of light infantry. So I still have the green facings But I got to take off the lace so I could blend in the woods. It's actually Pretty much a hybrid between the two uniforms a good compromise The they added wings and these wings actually act as is like a cape when I've been at events when it's raining This this wicks or or takes the moisture off my shoulders and brings it down to like a cape wood So it has a practical purpose So then after a while I ventured to a new uniform and that's what I'm wearing right now this is gauges light infantry or the 80th regiment a light arm foot and This was 1758 this unit was created and this was recreated basically to do the job of the Rangers The British Army did not like that the lack of discipline in the the colonial Rangers So they wanted to create their own Ranger regiment and that was gauges light infantry So this is the first British Army regiment that wasn't a red-coated regiment They were brown uniforms and we're used for scouting and in doing those type of duties And the other cool thing about this uniform is that in 1761 After the French we were ended the British sent out soldiers to the Great Lakes to garrison different posts here and The main unit the garrison the post was a unit called the 60th Royal Americans, but the unit that escorted the 60th Royal Americans from Detroit to Michelle Mackinaw to La Bay or what we know is Green Bay today was gauges light infantry. They went from Detroit They went along the upper peninsula down the Green Bay then around the door pencil and down the coast of Wisconsin all the way towards Chicago along the bottom of Lake Michigan to the St. Joseph River and then they went through the river over to President a Niles Michigan left another garrison there So I get to be a unit that was actually in Wisconsin short time in October But in Wisconsin and who knows maybe they came to Sheboygan. We don't know There's a map of the expedition in the in England One of the members of the museum Keith Whitter is actually examined that map and written about it He lives in Michigan now and worked for the Mackinaw State Parks Commission But as far as my correspondence with him He it doesn't show you the campsites that they used so this is kind of some of the stuff A lot of clothing here I've made some of it. I've purchased I've gotten to the point now where the clothing that I'm going to be making I'm going to be doing Here I have a great kilt for a Highland Battalion or a Highland regiment I'm going to be putting together a Highland impression so that's what next on my collection list and Also, I'm going to be putting together handsawing a 60th Royal Americans uniforms for when I go up to Green Bay and interpret a heritage hill as Garels James Garels Garrison He was the commander of that Garrison and he was from Maryland So I've got a few of my other items here One people I was like to see is the the firelock or musket. This is a light infantry carving It's a carving because it's smaller and caliber than the 75 caliber brown vests And it's shorter than the 46 inch barrel brown vests at 42 inches And 65 caliber. So this is a Lighter shorter weapon than most of the burst soldiers carried. This is what the light infantrymen carried so a lot of people like to see that it uses a flintlock mechanism to fire where the flint would strike the hammer and setting off the spark and laying out the gunpowder and eventually ejecting a projectile so I've got a whole bunch of stuff here I could talk for hours on hours about everything, but pretty much the rundown of our collection and And we're just we're happy to be here and show it off for the historical society My name is Augie Margenau. I just turned 79 Which if you do the math means I was born in 1939 and growing up in the 40s and 50s There was a lot of great radio shows on before TV and then the advantage of radio You only needed one sponsor for the show not 13 like you have now for the TV because the needs of the show were very limited and you could have people sitting around the table reading scripts and They would paint a picture in your mind and in reality if you look at you know the imagination You know your mind it was all you could be in color you could ride with their own ranger You could ride with a green hornet and just put yourself into that imaginary world that they were projecting for you now One of the other things that I was going to talk about is Just in modern day now We have Bob Yooker who broadcasts the brewers games and he paints you a picture of what's going on on the ball field And what one is a ground ball one is a double play a pop-up But Bob Yooker could tell you that right now there's a pink elephant Sitting on second base and in your mind you could picture that pink elephant on second base By the magic of using the radio okay now I was the other things I was going to talk about is Some of the tapes I brought along were mainly radio heroes the good guys always won I'm a big Lone Ranger fan. I still am I've got a lot of Lone Ranger collection. I designed this shirt There was a lot of jewelry that was being passed out for kids. What would Jesus do? So I got to say well, what would the Lone Ranger do? So I went down to Uzburg had some some shirts made like this and I want everybody to know that that I'm a Lone Ranger fan now One of the things I when I talk about radios I would help some of the kids at James Madison school when I was with a lunch buddy there through the big brothers program And I would teach these kids about sound effects And I had two examples and I'll try to do one today for you And it had one had to do with a Western story where the cattle were disappearing And he just didn't know what to do. So they sent out sheriff Mike now in the radio shows You had to have a partner with you to talk so you could set the scenario right? We're going to that mountain or let's camp by this stream But and sometimes the main character only had his horse to talk to so he would talk that they were trade They were trailing this looking for these cattle and he said well, you know and they would have a sound effect I'll see if I can pick it up here with these with cups And in your mind you had that picture of a horse and then he'd be slow to horse down and tell the horse Well, we're gonna stop at this cabin in the woods and he looked at there the cabin is but it's got a light on and he said well I shouldn't have a light on I'm gonna investigate So he'd walk through the snow and to make sound for snow if you take a box of cornstarch I don't know if you can pick this up, but you squeeze it I'll try a little harder here And that would be the sound going through the snow and in your picture He's walking through the snow when he got to the cabin Inside the cabin now there's a big hydraulic cylinder painted blue. There's steam coming out of it There's a fire and low and it's tied There's a rope to it and in your mind that thing actually took place and they would bring the cattle in the doors And they were wondering what they're gonna do with the cattle and that big hydraulic machine Well, they put the tie a cattle Tail tied to the rope on the hydraulic machine and then what they would do To make a sound effect. They say they started turning the cattle inside out and to make that sound They use this with this balloon So they could take it and put in a truck and leave the area now that's one example The other one was an early radio They didn't have the ability to broadcast baseball like they do now Whoever broadcasted say in New York They would put it on a tape and they would send it through a wire And then they would have a printer like a ticker tape thing and you'd have an announcer And he would have a machine here with a crowd noise that he could make it loud and soft Depending on what was going on in the game and he would have a bat and a little ball or something to hit it With the signifying a hit. Well, let's say The game in New York the Home team is down by eight or ten runs in the last of the ninth Now who's gonna listen to the end of the game? They might as well go cut the grass or do something else But they had an obligation to keep the people interested because whoever was was Advertising that game like somebody's mom's apple pie or razor blades They had to change the story to make it enhance it to make it a little more exciting So let's say the bottom of the night first guy up address. Well, he flew out the right Okay, now the right fielders name was short so he could say okay Thompson hit the ball and Schwartz is under it. He's got it. That wasn't a very exciting So he could jazz it up a little bit in the first pitch and he hit the bat and go thwink And if they hope there's a long drive in the right field going back back Schwartz is guarding up. He hit the wall and he's crumpled around. He's laying on the ground He's hurt and here come this the trainers out to check on him And they're working on or giving artificial artificial respiration and People are listening to this see and finally to say I see his foot is moving. He's he's standing up And the ball is in his glove And so they jazz it up and now people are going to listen to that game the rest of the time And and help the sponsor now other things that I have here, you know, all the heroes they're radio heroes But there's something like a little bit of history on world war two on d-day That was a secret operation by the military And so they didn't give out anything but there were home broadcasts on what was going on in germany because People were intercepting or listening to the german radio show and they were telling people a paratrooper is landing here Or there's landing in france and to do things so they got we got the the information for broadcasting in the states From the german radio itself Now a lot of those shows trans transcribed Are transformed themselves into television But again, if anyone you got you got a big stage at a big set whereas before It was imagination and I think it helped us because as kids We could come home from school. It was dark outside at 4 30 And we could ride with the lone ranger or ride with the green hornet And one of the things in school we would learn history of the united states But if you if you listen to the to the radio shows you find out The lone ranger's real name was was john and he uh, let's see john reed And when he was ambushed by the cavendish gang and everybody was killed except him Tonto found him and says you lone ranger now. So now he was the lone ranger But he had a nephew named dan who was coming west with his mother His mother was killed in an indian attack. So now dan is all alone But he was adopted by a woman named grandma frisbee And the lone ranger runs into grandma frisbee and finds out she's got his nephew there Well, the nephew dan reed as he grows up becomes a newspaper editor and has a son named brit reed And brit reed was the lone ranger's great nephew But he was the green hornet. So he started out with the lone ranger Who had a native american as a partner wore a mask his great nephew Was the green hornet wore a mask and had a partner named kato who was japanese until December 7th 1941 when the japanese attacked pearl harbour then all of a sudden kato became a filipino So there's fun and lurking up the history of this and you know, you can put a puzzle together The tv doesn't suck up all your attention You can you can put a model airplane together and Talk with other people and listen to the radio and it was a fantastic era and that there are some radios Shows locally that will play them particularly but It's a part of my life and I can't let go Thank you Fred bedke and here from the museum and I thought I'd bring in some of the more interesting parts of the schlitz collection that I have I do have the signs and the bottles and the cans and everything but I think everybody have seen those So I thought this is a little uh Kind of the trinkets that a lot of people don't see I've got advertising from the 30s 40s 50s Some of the stuff in the case. I've got badges security badges. I've got badges for the employees Uh schlitz dictionary and they also schlitz made a Atlas and the reason they made their atlases that they could show everybody where they had all their plants They even had a plant in pakistan at one time But kind of as we kind of go down through the table. I've got the the old steel can opener from the from the early 60s various tap handles A lot of different advertising But this is some stuff now that people don't see it. It's a schlitz coffee maker. It's a schlitz popcorn maker A couple of little interesting robot trinkets that are made out of schlitz cans More advertising. We've got a schlitz can from pakistan Cigarette lighter there's a bunch of lighters at the cabinet the anniversary stein for 125th anniversary And if you were a really good distributor then they They would give you the Uh, it's actually a globe But it was brandy in there doesn't it never they never said who made the brandy, but You had to be a really good distributor to get that This is a big stein that was made into a bank Erlinger that was one of their premium beers that they decided that they were going to try and make a premium beer But they decided they went back to just the schlitz One of the original Tappers now this isn't doesn't go on the bottle. It actually goes in the bar and it's Right right around 1900s Got a Got a picture here of an astronaut me with an astronaut. I wanted to have him hold a schlitz can but he couldn't do it Uh A couple different pictures more advertising stuff a lot of different steins and again Majority of the steins and stuff and bottles. I didn't bring along. We've got blob top bottles pre this this is probably like 1880 And we've got other bottles here with it with the stopper still in them again 1800s We've got this picture would be where you'd come in with a On a stage culture a wagon or whatever and you'd want beer up in your hotel room That's how they'd bring it up The uh anniversary class from the chicago fire And as a matter of fact the chicago fire when they did have the chicago fire Joseph schlitz says I want you to take every wagon we got and fill it up with beer and water take it to chicago And they I don't know how many how much beer they did truck But a lot of beer and a lot of water And when chicago started building itself back up That's how the they got the slogan the beer that made milwaukee famous and that's that's what I really got your foothold in illinois uh schlitz lava lamp and all kinds of advertising but again, it's uh, this is the stuff that A lot of the people don't see that the schlitz uniform all the different shirts More and I have no idea what language this is But uh, we kind of put it next to each other you can see the difference, but there's a quilt There's a wastebasket. There's a hook a hooking rug different caps This particular hawaiian shirt is a real hawaiian shirt And that schlitz made when they opened their plant in hawaii. They had all of these schlitz hawaiian shirts made for schlitz So it is an original hawaiian shirt Brought worse days 1962 everybody anybody that knows sheboygan remembers brought worse days probably not the end of it But the beginning of the day but uh So yeah, like I say everything else is just Trinkets that people normally wouldn't see and I thought well, I'll bring along and share


our kids and growing up. Hello, we are live. Is there anybody out there? This is Take2. This is the day of technology oopsies. I tried to go live earlier and it flopped. Yeah. Like, it is what it is. This is New Zealand, you guys. The internet's not always 100%. And so we are doing a Take2. We're on an island. That's what happens. Usually it's good. But I think that honestly, if you're not here, that's fine. You can watch this later. We just watched the previous one and it was cut off in six minutes. Two pixelated and it cut off. And so you're not getting what you need. So we're redoing it. So we're going to now double the amount of eggnog. So yay. OK, good. You can see us. Yay. OK. So if you don't know us already, who are you? I'm just going to introduce ourselves because they're probably like who's this person. I know why. They're on my channel. Oh, what if they just stomp onto you? Oh, that's true. That's true because they're kind of like eggnog. And they'd be like, how do I make eggnog in your video? OK, what would it look at me? Look at it. Can you see OK? I'm sorry. I'm a little bit. I just want to make sure that's working before we keep that one. Hello. Hi. Welcome, everyone. Give us a thumbs up if you can see us. And if we're not pixelated and we're good to hear us. Yes. So I'm Kiwi Americans. We're a family of six. I have moved to New Zealand. I've been here for six years. And Chantel, from Growing Up Without Borders, has joined us as well. We are in Queenstown. We're actually at the house that she's staying at. Yes. And so picked her up yesterday at the airport. So fun. It was so nice. And it's horrible weather in Wellington, so happy to be here. Yes. So yeah, so glad that it's better. We're on beautiful Lake Hayes. If you didn't know where that is, it's like 10 minutes from New Zealand, from Queenstown in the most beautiful area. Yes. Hi, from France. Woo. Thanks for joining us. Do you have eggnog in France? Because this video is all about how to make eggnog from scratch. Homemade. Because if you're not aware, you cannot buy it in the grocery store in New Zealand. And it's very frustrating. Americans, Canadians, we love eggnog. We love eggnog lattes. We love eggnog at Christmas. We love eggnog if you like alcohol in it, all very good. So yeah. So this is how to make it. Because you can't buy it in a store here. So I've had to make it myself. And there's lots of different ways to make it. This is a very simple recipe. I really like it. It tastes amazing. You will thank me. I want you all to try it. And let me know how you like it. Send me pictures of you making it. Or let me know just if you like it. If you don't like it, you can keep it to yourself. So. Cool. OK. What do you need? You need eggs? OK. So we need eggs. So we need six egg yolks. Six egg yolks. Now, people freak out about eggnog because they worry about the raw egg of it. But this is a cooked version. So if you are concerned, if you use pasteurized eggs, that would be better. So yeah. So this is a take two of our eggnog. So separate the eggs. So we need six of those. We have six? Yeah. And then we need two cups of milk. Yeah. Well, no. For the eggs, you just need the sugar. OK. Sure. Yeah. So then what we're going to do is we're going to mix the eggs and add the sugar. But for this recipe, it's super simple. All you need is milk, egg yolks, sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, and clove, and heavy cream. That's it. That's it. That's all you need. And you're welcome. It's going to be so good. All right. OK. Jelly bee is not a fan of eggnog. Well, you're just a fan. You haven't tried mine yet. OK. So if you notice that the egg yolks in New Zealand are quite orange, so you want to beat them so they start to get a light yellow. Sorry, it's really loud. It's fine. Going back to the mix. So then we're going to add three fourths of a cup of sugar, slowly to the eggs. And you just beat it in. And then it'll come this beautiful fluffy. You want it to be fluffy and a really light yellow. So here we get start pouring that in, which would be fine. Yep. So just keep going. I'm going to slowly pour that in. Key more. Makes it green more. Oh, the line. That's what it looks like there. So nice and fluffy. So beautiful. OK. OK. So what we're going to do is, so the next thing that you do, so you put that to the side, the next thing that you do is you're going to heat up two cups of milk. Yep. And we've already done that, I believe. We've already done that. OK. You have two cups of milk with the spices, the cinnamon nutmeg and cloves. The recipe that I will put in the description is does not include nutmeg, but thank you. FYI, it's still quite hot. Oh, it's quite hot. You need to let it cool a tiny little bit because you don't want it to cook your eggs. Yeah, it's not cooking the eggs. Now, if you're milk curdles, if you boil it, if it gets too hot, it's fine. You can just put it through a strainer and take that off. Like, no reason to throw it out. Also, a lot of people don't like that egg whites go to waste. So you can just make some pavlova. Or also, there's lots of recipes for egg nag where you can beat up the egg whites and add it. And it just makes a thicker egg nag. So you can certainly do that as well. So. OK, it's still kind of hot. Do you want a minute? Yeah, we'll wait a minute. OK. While we're waiting a minute, it's commercial time. Oh, commercial break while we let the milk cool. This is a stress-troll presentation from growing up without borders. So I'm a guest on Tara's show. But we are a traveling family. And we came to New Zealand in March 2020. We're still here, if you can imagine. And since we travel around the world, we make really cool videos on YouTube. But this year, we came out with a calendar. So it's the Growing Up Without Borders 2022 calendar, which I'm promoting as a commercial on her channel. But go ahead and check it out under Growing Up Without Borders forward slash calendar, because it's really cool. And the photography in here is amazing. Just to give you a sneak preview, this is a place in Switzerland above Moldau in the French-speaking area. And it's absolutely gorgeous. So yeah, it's amazing. The pictures in this calendar are wowed. Yeah, I think so too. So it's very cool. They're like a family of five that have literally been to 100 countries. Yeah. And we picked our favorite places that are dear to our heart that kind of like speak to us to share with you guys. So I hope you enjoy it. And we're going to record a video today. Yeah, we're going to record a video on Christmases around the world and how it's different. Because in every country, of course, it's celebrated differently. Yeah, we were talking about it. And the thing she was telling me, I was like, what? Because they've had such extensive travel. I've traveled, but not nearly as much as she has. And she's been in a lot of different countries at Christmas. Now, of course, it's different to experience tradition as a visitor, as opposed to somebody that lives there. But it's at least fun to talk about. Exactly. I'm going to read what you guys are saying. I love that we have been met up. That is so cool. I know you want to know how it happened too. The little story is, so last fall, and our videos are coming out about that soon. So we're going to be posting Christmas last year and this year, which is really at the start. But she messaged us and she's like, hey, where are we? Where are you? Whatever. We were talking on Instagram. So we talked on Instagram, which is right. And then we were in the Rotorua area around Christmas. And she's like, I'm going to be up there for New Year's. We should meet up. Oh, that'd be awesome. So we met up on Lake Tara Wareh. We did New Year's together. On New Year's Eve. Now it's rocked it. New Year's Eve. It was our first encounter. Yeah, it was fun. It was amazing. And it was at their friend's batch, a batch for those who didn't know it was like a cottage, like a lake house. And there was like, how many people, like how many kids? A lot of kids. We had a big dance party.  We'd jump off the pier at midnight. And it's all recorded. And it was very fun. So we've been best buddies since. Yeah. It's been really cool. We've been hanging out. We see each other. It's fine. She's like, yeah, she's lived in the States a lot. She's lived in Canada, you know, Switzerland. And so it's nice. It's fun. And our kids are like all similar ages. Yeah. And they all get along. It's great. Yes. Here we go. All right. Woo-hoo. OK. Time to mix in. All right. So we're going to temper the egg. So what that means is you add a little bit of the milk at a time and keep mixing it here. Do you want me to mix it? Yeah, maybe you can measure. Do you want to add a little bit? Yeah, just, I don't know, just add two and 12. Keep mixing it. Just a little bit little so it's not too hot. Yeah. So it's not too hot. Woo-hoo. Here we go. This is like the easiest recipe. There's just no excuses for this. Not making it. It's still done, right? Yeah, perfect. OK, so then we're going to add this into there. Yeah, so you move the eggs then into the pot. We're going to continue to cook this on medium heat for a little bit longer until it thickens a bit. And we're going to add a couple of cream. Do we have that? I can get that. So that's a cup of cream, guys. Fresh cream, one cup. Here we go. This is almost a three-fourth of a cup. Oh, I don't know what that is. Oh, yeah, there we go. I'm like, because we're not obviously in our own home. So we're in someone else's home. And it's always fun using their appliances and their kingdom. It's so much more fun to be in someone else's kitchen. And it's doubly more fun to clean up than someone else's kitchen. I don't know why that is. It's torture in your own kitchen. But someone else's is fun. It's all new stuff, especially this place is nice stuff. So yeah, you add the white chocolate cream. And then we're going to cook it on medium heat for a little bit longer. And just when you start to feel it thickened, you just want to take it off the heat. And then you're done. That's it, ladies and gentlemen. So then let it sit in the fridge for a couple of hours. You don't want to drink hot eggnog. You want it to be cold. So overnight is great. Yeah, I would suggest chilling it at least overnight. Yeah. And then you're good to go. Then you're good to go. Then once it's done, you put it in a bowl in the fridge. Yep, I put it in like a pitcher, whatever you have. Again, you can add alcohol. You can add alcohol at this point, if you would like. And yeah, no, when it's just cooling. Because what it does is it will preserve it longer. So it can last longer in the refrigerator. Otherwise, you know, it'll just be a couple of days. Honestly, it won't last. So the key is when you're ready to serve it, you're going to put it in like a clear glass. And what's so cool about eggnog is it will be like this beautiful light yellow at the bottom with some like a cream at the top, like a, I don't know, kind of like a foam when you do like a cappuccino. And then you put whipped cream and nutmeg. You put nutmeg, cinnamon. I mean, you can put cinnamon, but I recommend nutmeg. It's just beautiful. And then you can hand it up for Christmas. So yeah, put it in your coffee in the morning, have it, serve it to your guests. If you're in New Zealand, bring it somewhere and have people try it. Oh, they're going to love it. They're going to love it. They're going to absolutely love it. It's, I think that it doesn't, it's not great because of the name. Like, I think the name people are like, I'm not drinking eggs. You know, like I've had trouble personally getting people to try it because they don't want to eggnog. Doesn't sound very appetizing. So maybe we need to create our own name for it, Chantel. Well, it is, it is. I think we should call it Christmas Deliciousness. Okay, so when it's really hot. Christmas present. When it's really hot. Yeah, really hot. Yeah, yeah, yeah. When it, just when it starts to thicken. Just thicken. It's almost like custard in a cup, but more delicious because it's homemade. I mean, homemade custard is really good. Oh, I'm just reading some. What does eggnog taste like? Okay, great question. Maybe we should describe it. It is Christmas heaven, is what I'm trying to tell you. It's creamy. It's like a creamy, sweet, with the best spices, Christmas spices. Okay, cloves, not make cinnamon. What's better than that? If you don't like one of those, don't have to put it in. And then, yeah, it's so good. It's hard to drink slowly. I recently had it with rum. I don't normally have it with alcohol, guys. It was, I don't know. It's like the best drink ever. So like my tradition is when we're gonna decorate the Christmas tree, we have eggnog. And really nobody in my family likes it except for my teenage son. So it's me and him. And I like that nobody likes it because then it's more for me. Oh, yeah. Let's be honest. So, yeah, so, and you can make it really pretty. Like you can, you could do like, it takes the sugar and make it green and red and put it on the rim and then add the eggnog and you can make it really amazing. Ooh, Reno, Nevada. We've got some interesting places joining us. Kazakhstan. Wow. Kazakhstan. Yes, the custard slices in New Zealand are one of my favorites. So if you like those, you were going to like eggnog, I promise. You're gonna want to try it. Eggnog does not last in our house, like. No. It lasts literally like one serving and everyone's like. Well, good thing we made double because of our first live, it didn't go well. Yeah. You have drunk all the rum in the way. We don't have rum here in the house. So unfortunately, we're gonna have to press a virgin line. Yeah. No, it's fine. It's delicious. You don't need alcohol. It's one of those things. Alcohol doesn't make it better. So make sure you guys let us know if you tried it and how it worked out. Yeah. Post pictures on my Instagram. Just, you know, check it out. There's a new business idea. You can start selling eggnog. You know how many people have told me that this week? Because I did a TikTok on it. And so I'm like, what is eggnog? And so then I had to make it and show them. And so, yeah, they're like, you should bottle this. Ooh, it's looking really good. I love it. Ooh, let's see it, let's see it. This is version two. I let it thicken a little bit more than my version one that we made. This one's actually quite thick, so that's perfect. You can see it's steaming up a little bit. Oh, that's perfect. That's the right smell. That's just right. So, yeah. It smells like heaven. Like I don't really know how to describe it. They want us to describe the taste, but I don't know. It's a little really good. It's just, just trying. Yeah. It was really easy. Hey, I'm just telling you. Do you drink eggnog in Germany? I don't think so. Do you? Cool. Let's get the... Curious minds want to know. Yeah, so that's it. That's eggnog for you. Look at that, 15 minutes. And you can have eggnog. And that's also looking to be doing a lot of talking. Yeah. Super easy, super simple. And of course, here in America, Canada, just go grocery store by it. But it's also really good in baking.  Right. Greg's mom was a baker. That's so cool. She must have made some amazing things. I'm just dreaming of Christmas cookies and all that. So we're also going to make a video today about Christmases around the world and what it's like because obviously, Chateau has traveled to 100 countries and have spent Christmases in a lot of different places. Yeah, our kids have been like what they say. They say like, I've been chanced out of Christmas so many times. So this year though, we're actually going to stay at a house near Rotorua and we're going to decorate it up because they have all these decorations. Oh, nice. Yeah. That'll be really nice. Except when we arrived at 23rd and Christmas as you know is the 24th. Like we celebrate the 24th. Yeah, we do celebrate the Christmas Eve. So we have to quickly decorate and yeah. But yeah, so we're going to share this in a video. We're going to go record it right now and then Tara's going to have a live on her channel. Yeah, cool. It's like a Christmas around the world. So it's interesting. Obviously it's different as a traveler than someone that lives there. But yeah. So definitely try the eggnog. Let us know how you like it and thank you for joining us today. And we love you guys. We hope you have a wonderful holiday, Christmas, New Year's. Take a break. Enjoy. Enjoy. Yeah. Enjoy your families. We'll see you. Nice to see y'all.


Syncopy, otherwise known as fainting, is the sudden brief loss of consciousness caused by diminished blood flow to our brain that occurs at least once in about 1 in 5 people, and about 1 in 10 may happen over and over, responsible for millions of emergency room visits and hospitalizations. Though sometimes fainting can be caused by heart problems, most often it's triggered just by standing, because blood pools in our legs, or strong emotions, and are caused or called vasovagal reactions. There are certain circumstances, such as blood donation, syncope has important medical and societal significance, where than 150,000 people experience fainting spells, or near fainting spells, each year when they're giving blood. So it would be good to find a way to avoid it. But if you think that has medical and societal significance, what about fainting when you're driving? It goes without saying that losing consciousness while driving can pose a serious threat to the patient and society. Of a group of folks getting tested for a 9% report that they had lost consciousness while driving. When it happens over and over, drugs and surgery are used, installing a pacemaker, but such therapy is expensive, efficacy is questionable, and adverse effects are common. In fact, the results of most drug treatment trials have been disappointing, and the value of implanting pacemakers have been repeatedly questioned, and now there's evidence for their lack of effectiveness. So what do we do? Well in Italy, evidently the older generation of general practitioners advised patients prone to fainting carry a wooden egg, using the old days for darning socks, and to apply muscle tension by gripping the wooden egg forcibly as soon as a faint was imminent. These folklore stories inspired an Italian cardiologist to apply arm muscle tensing to combat vasal vagal fainting, but it wasn't put to the test until now. About a minute before losing consciousness, most about to faint experienced so-called prodromal symptoms. They feel dizzy, queasy, or break out in a sweat, signaling they're just about to black out. When that happens, there are a number of maneuvers shown to successfully abort the impending episode. One is called isometric arm counter pressure, where you grip one hand and the other, and exert pressure trying to pull your arms apart, and you keep it up until the symptoms go away. How successful is it? Patients were shown how to do it, and reported it was successful 99% of the time. Safe and effective. They're supposed to be the new first-line treatment for those who start to feel faint.  Safe, inexpensive, effective. They're proposed having patients try this before having a cardiac pacemaker surgically implanted. Squatting down is another maneuver if all else fails. Is there anything we can do to prevent the symptoms in the first place? Do we have to wait until we're all dizzy, clammy, and sweaty, and nauseous? Well, speaking of cheap, safe, and effective, just drinking water can prevent it. So if you know needles make you woozy, five minutes before you get stuck, chug down two cups of water, which can dramatically bring the pressures up within minutes in people who are predisposed to fainting, and have similar effects in normal, healthy adults. The fact that water exerts such profound effects can be exploited by blood donation programs, for example, to help prevent people from fainting. It's also the currently recommended treatment for so-called blood injury or injection phobia, which is actually pretty common, affecting about 125 people. 75% of which report a history of fainting in response. The problem is not just that they won't donate blood. You know, avoiding anything related to blood injury or injections could pose a particularly serious threat if people neglect to seek medical care when necessary. But all one may have to do is just preload with two cups of water. The knowledge that such simple self-help maneuvers are readily available and could be life-saving should prove valuable and helpful in everyday life.


Like I was saying earlier, there's no easy match in D3 in my mind. And they were traveled a long way from Wisconsin. There's really good boys volleyball there. And they had a nice team. And we needed to play all out to finish that in four. And again, I think for us, passing is the key. If we pass well, then we play well. And that was shown in this last match against Almyra. Yeah, yeah, that's right. The first set was kind of a blowout. We're playing at home. The guys play with a lot of intensity at the start, which I like. That's great. But Almyra, my hats off to them. They were just taking swings. I mean, hard swings, fearless swings at our block. And we have to work on getting a tighter block and blocking people back into the court more. So we got into trouble. After being up 2-0, I believe we lost the next two sets. And we had to go five. And our passing broke down a little bit along the way. And we need a little luck at the end to close. That's OK. It's like a volleyball guide smile down on us. Yeah, I think we have super support. I mean, I see posters and banners and the women's volleyball teams here. And the other ladies are here, cheering the guys on. I think it's inspirational for them. They really dig deep to impress the ladies. And the crowd was nice. I mean, it was a Saturday evening. So I'm really happy with the turnout.


Recycling the water is a critical component of nearly all aquaponic systems. This system depends on a pump and plumbing fittings to move the water from the fish tank up to the plant grow bed. And the bell siphon and gravity control how the water gets back to the fish tank. In most cases, cycling all of the water through the system every hour is sufficient to maintain the water quality and provide adequate nutrients to the plants. Attach one half of the half inch union fitting to the one half inch outlet of the pump. Using a union fitting next to the pump makes it easy to remove the pump for any maintenance that might be required. On the other half of the union fitting, attach the fitting that has one half inch threads on one side and a three eighths inch barb on the other. Next, connect the three eighths inch flexible tubing. Attach the six foot piece of tubing to the barb. Using a flexible hose instead of hard piping allows more possibilities for rooting the pipe work to move the water from the fish tank to the grow bed. On the other end of the three eighths inch tubing, attach a three eighths inch barb to male threaded fitting. Screw the threaded end of the fitting onto a half inch 90 degree elbow threaded on one side and designed as a slip fitting on the other. Push a three inch piece of half inch diameter pipe into the slip side of the elbow. Push another 90 degree slip elbow on the other end of the three inch pipe and turn it downward. Add another three inch piece of half inch pipe and a third 90 degree elbow turned outward. Having this U shaped configuration on the end of the grow bed water delivery system makes it possible to hang it over the side of the pre-filter you'll build next. Connect the two halves of the union fitting together next to the pump. Using a pre-filter between the fish tank and the grow bed will help prevent solid fish waste and other particles from clogging up the growing media which can cause channeling and result in uneven water distribution. If the media gets too clogged it must be removed and cleaned. Drill a one and three quarter inch hole in the center of the bottom of the one gallon bucket using the electric drill and hole saw. Insert a one inch uniseal in the hole. Lubricate the seal with a silicone lubricant and push the four inch long piece of one inch pipe through the uniseal until there are two inches on the inside and two inches on the outside of the bucket. Place a three inch net pot upside down over the top of the pipe on the inside of the bucket. This ensures that the foam pad will not cover the opening of the pipe and will allow water to enter through the sides of the net pot as well as the bottom. Push the foam disc into the top of the bucket so that it forms a bowl. Do not push it down onto the top of the upside down three inch net pot.
