Sand dollars (sea cookie/snapper biscuit/pansy shell) are extremely flattened, burrowing sea urchins. Related animalsinclude sea cucumbers and starfish. Sand dollars have a rigid skeleton (test), which consists of calcium carbonate platesarranged in a fivefold radial pattern. In living individuals the test is covered by a skin of velvet-textured spines, which are

covered with very small hairs (cilia). Movements of the spines enable sand dollars to cross the seabed. The velvety spines aregreen, blue, violet, or purple depending on the species. Tests of dead sand dollars are often found on beaches, including hereat Seaside, the textured skin missing and the skeleton bleached white by sunlight. Try to find an unbroken one.... it’s a treasure!

It’s an amazing game. It’s difficult to take up bridge and not get passionate about it. It’s so intensely gratifying

when you do something right… and it’s so maddening when you do something wrong. - Omar Sharif

Where do the top bridge players live?

Almost half of the the ACBL's top 300 Life Masters listed in the Bridge Bulletin (November 2012, pp. 62-62)live in just five states: Florida (42), California (41), New York (29), Texas (21), or Nevada (15). Most playersin those states can drive to a national, regional, or sectional tournament every weekend if they wish! Thereare 14 states that have no representatives at all: Alaska, Delaware, Idaho, Kentucky, Maine, Mississippi,Montana, North Dakota, New Hampshire, Oregon, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wyoming. It can beconcluded that all masterpoints earned are not equal, since players living outside the hot zones must spenda lot more money to travel to tournaments!!!

Hideous Hog L&C Knockout Predictions

Bracket One Barrere (-1) over Cappelletti: Ed and Jim’s five slams not enough to overcome 49ers’ big halftime lead.

Doner (-3) overLavee: Former showgirl Stratton shows Canadians she’s got more moves than just on the stage.

Bracket Two Senn (-2) over Cowan: Ron and Dena prove they’re one of the 5% of married couples that

should play bridge together. Weinberg (-4) over Ward:Top Seattle NABC volunteers “cruise” to victory.

Bracket Three Markham (-2) over Walton: The tournament photographer freezes out Portlanders.

Burtram (-5) over Schoning: Finally rid of Walter White, the Albuquerque PD now has to face the new

scourge of the Hettemas stealing everyone’s IMPs. Bracket Four Edwards (-4) over Pearson: In the

Idaho/Oregon border war, the first battle goes to the Vandals. Daem (-2) over Beck: An all-Unit 429

matchup falls to the team of half mainlanders. Bracket Five Johnson (-3) over Frank: Calgarians stampede their

opponents . Thomas (-4) over Crawford: She may be no saint, but Susanne leads her team to a heavenly victory. Bracket

Seven King (-3) over Fleming: Apple Cup match goes, as usual, the Huskies’ way. Hickman (-5) over Dewar: Nanaimo pair

too busy planning the conversion of their bathtub into a seaworthy vehicle to hold on to a halftime lead.
