COSTA MESA — There was no money to buy a ladle large enough to stir a 30-gallon pot in the beginning years of Someone Cares Soup Kitchen, so founder Merle Hatleberg used a boat oar.
Over the next three months, he tested the prototype in the bay, adjusting the placement of the sails, three in front, one in back, and experimenting unsuccessfully with using a Polynesian oar as a steering device.
The best known of Italian boats is the gondola of Venice, a double-ended craft, with ornamental posts at bow and stern, propelled by an oarsman using a single oar or sweep.
As they begin the long swim to the beach, Billie the oiler, the strongest of the four, swims ahead of the others; the captain advances towards the shore while still holding onto the boat, and the cook uses a surviving oar.

Mr. Menchaca is known for rowing his sailboats single-handedly, using a pair of long oars called sweeps.
Moreover, Han ships were the first in the world to be steered using a rudder at the stern, in contrast to the simpler steering oar used for riverine transport, allowing them to sail on the high seas.
To analyze the effects of the OAR variations, a stripe-type micro-pattern was formed using a photolithography process.
Oar-shaped samples cut with a CO2 laser were compared with injection moulded samples and also with those manufactured using a KrF excimer laser.
We conducted three climatology experiments, each one using a computational grid configuration with a different grid middleware (OurGrid, OAR/CiGri and Globus).
