In 1926, when a Los Angeles restaurant owner with the all-American name of Bob Cobb was looking for a way to use up leftovers, he threw together some avocado, celery, tomato, chives, watercress, hard-boiled eggs, chicken, bacon, and Roquefort cheese, and named it after himself: Cobb salad.

Crooner Engelbert Humperdinck was born Arnold George Dorsey. He borrowed his stage name from a German composer who died in 1921. Weirdly, Arnold Dorsey sounds much cooler.

62 Years Ago On April 29, 1953
The first U.S. experimental 3D-TV broadcast showed an episode of Space Patrol on Los Angeles ABC affiliate KECA-TV. Space Patrol was a science fiction series that was originally aimed at the teen age and under audiences of the early 1950s via television, radio, and comic books. However, it soon developed a sizable adult audience such that by 1954, the program consistently ranked in the top 10 shows broadcast on a Saturday. Just think, 3D TV has only become popular recently 60 years later. <>

This was another sad day for America
11 Years Ago On April 29, 2004 Oldsmobile builds its last car ending 107 years of production. It was the end of the road for the oldest automotive brand name in the United States. Oldsmobile, was the brand that pioneered chrome-plated trim and gave drivers the Eighty Eight series, the front-wheel-drive Toronado and the Cutlass. Oldsmobiles were first manufactured by the Olds Motor Vehicle Company in Lansing, Michigan, a company founded by Ransom E. Olds in 1897. In 1901, Olds introduced the Curved Dash Olds which sold 425 cars, becoming the first high-volume car of the day. Olds became, for a few years, the top selling car company in the United States. Ransom Olds left the company in financial difficulties and formed REO Motor Car Company. The last Curved Dash Olds was made in 1907, and in 1908, General Motors purchased the company. Of the more than 35 million Oldsmobile's built during the nameplate's existence, more than 14 million were built in Lansing. I focused mostly on the older cars, as I found them much more interesting.

Weekly Horoscope: For April 26, 2015 by Georgia Nicols
This is for the week of April 26th thru May 2nd
All Signs
This week is relatively mellow except for some tension that starts to build on Friday before the Full Moon in Scorpio on Sunday. Four signs are called Fixed Signs (they can't have kids). They are Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius. When the Full Moon occurs in a Fixed Sign, it has a greater depth, energy and intensity. This means everyone will feel the Full Moon next weekend. (Count on it.) Everything will have an exaggerated quality - both good and bad. Aside from that, it's an easy-going week, for which we can rejoice. And by the time this column is published, some cities will rejoice the first round of the NHL playoffs. Others will not. Someone once said, "The most difficult part of getting to the top of the ladder is getting through the crowd at the bottom." Ain't it the truth?
