Our 2 days in SFO
... the Painted Ladies themselves! Hint; they are not worth the time. First destination achieved, it was off to Lombard Street to see "the most crooked street in the world". It would have been great we are sure, if Muni didn't have us going in the complete opposite direction to where we needed to go! So faithful were we to Muni that we stayed on the bus until the driver literally kicked us off because it had reached its final stop, which was in the ...

Eight years after the Homeland Security Department opened its doors, it is struggling with aging and stove-piped information technology systems that cause inefficiencies in operation, according to a comprehensive report from the Office of Inspector General.
The report, titled "Major Management Challenges Facing the Department of Homeland Security," was released on Dec. 9 by Acting Inspector General Charles Edwards. It is meant to be an annual comprehensive look at a broad array of systemic IT and management issues at the department. Much of the details have been reported in previous audits.
As in previous years, the report highlights nine critical areas, including management of IT, acquisition and financial reporting along with key missions such as border security and preparedness.
In terms of IT management, Edwards addresses weaknesses related to an alleged lack of integration of systems at the Coast Guard and between DHS and state and local fusion centers.
The Coast Guard's command center and partner agency systems "are not sufficiently integrated," Edwards wrote in the report. "These limitations had a variety of causes, including technical and cost barriers, aging infrastructure that is difficult to support, and stove-piped system development."
The end result: Field personnel rely on "inefficient workarounds to accomplish their mission," Walker concluded.
Edwards also found problems in the way that DHS systems coordinate with state and local intelligence fusion centers. After the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, the fusion centers were created to be hubs of information sharing on threats.
At least two networks, the Homeland Security Information Network and the Homeland Security State and Local Community of Interest system were developed by DHS to help share information.
However, those two systems are not integrated, Edwards wrote in the report.
"As a result, users must maintain separate accounts, and information cannot easily be shared across the systems," the report said. "Fusion center personnel also expressed concern that there were too many federal information sharing systems that were not integrated."
Nonetheless, Edwards concluded that the department is moving forward on addressing the challenges.
"The department has made progress in coalescing into an effective organization, as well as addressing its key mission areas to secure our nation's borders, increase our readiness and resiliency in the face of a terrorist threat or a natural disaster, and implement increased levels of security in our transportation systems and trade operations," Edwards wrote.
Department officials, in a response, said they agreed with that assessment.

Goehring ran for re-election as North Dakota Commissioner of Agriculture.[1]
Goehring is a third-generation farmer. He and his son, Dustin, operate a 2,000-acre, no-till farm near Menoken in south central North Dakota. On their farm, the pair raise corn, soybeans, spring wheat, winter wheat, sunflowers and canola. Before assuming office, Goehring was president and chairman of the board of Nodak Mutual Insurance Company and a director of American Agricultural Insurance Company. He has served as vice president of the North Dakota Farm Bureau and is a member of several statewide and national farm associations. He is also the former director of both the United Soybean Board and the North Dakota Soybean Council, former secretary/treasurer of the North Dakota Grain Growers Association and a member of the USDA's Area 4 Research Farm Steering Committee. Goehring also served previously as president of the Menoken School Board and chairman of the Bismarck Mandan Chamber Agriculture Committee.[2]

Political career
North Dakota Commissioner of Agriculture (2009-Present)
Goehring, a Republican, was appointed as North Dakota Commissioner of Agriculture in April 2009 and won a full term in November 2010.
Inappropriate comment
In February 2014, Goehring admitted to making an inappropriate comment, which was investigated by North Dakota Human Resources Department. In an e-mail, Goehring explained how he made a "politically incorrect" comment to his staff. "I spoke and acted in a politically incorrect manner for today's modern office," Goehring wrote in the email. "I meant no ill-will. The complaint was fully investigated by the State Human Resources Division and there was not enough substance in the complaint and no action was deemed necessary. After the incident, on my own accord, I participated in appropriate training. It has always been my goal to provide a working environment at the Ag Department where employees feel comfortable doing their work." Goehring is expected to face a potential primary challenge from Judy Estenson, a farmer and nurse.[3]
Goehring ran for re-election to the office of North Dakota Commissioner of Agriculture. Goehring sought the Republican nomination in the primary on June 10. The general election took place November 4, 2014.[1]
Race background
The North Dakota Commissioner of Agriculture also serves as a member on the state's three-member Industrial Commission. This commission, among many duties, regulates North Dakota's oil and gas industry.[4] The race for agriculture commissioner took on a heightened profile due to candidate disagreements over how to deal with the rush to extract oil and gas from the Bakken shale.
The incumbent, Republican Doug Goehring, expressed support for an accelerated rate of oil extraction, opposing legislation that might slow down the growth of drilling.[5] In a speech at the state Republican convention, he implied support for a balanced approach, saying that "the ties between agriculture and energy have never been more important that they are today," but the North Dakota Farm Bureau endorsed his primary challenger, Judy Estenson.[6] Estenson, who was running to reform the office following allegations of mismanagement and harassment, lost the state GOP endorsement and dropped out of the race.[6][7]
The Democratic challenger, Ryan Taylor, expressed concern about the consequences of the oil rush. He said, "You can't unleash all that oil and then wonder why the train tracks are full of oil tankers and you can't get grain on from the elevators in North Dakota and get that product to market."[8] Taylor advocated for greater weight on agricultural considerations; he was described as "the man who's going to bring balance to the Industrial Commission."[8]
Campaign finance
Campaign finance disclosures filed by early October showed Goehring with $339,000 in contributions compared to $285,000 for Taylor.[9]
Issues background: Fracking
- See also: Fracking in North Dakota
Since oil was first struck in 1951 in North Dakota, over 13,000 wells have been drilled. The graph to the right shows how oil production has soared in the state, growing from 45.14 million barrels of oil in 2007, to 313.8 million barrels in 2013. This growth has brought both opportunities and challenges for the state. A study for the American Petroleum Institute estimated that 12 percent of state employment, and 13.1 percent of labor income in 2011, was due to the oil and gas industry.
The growth of the industry has also brought challenges, however, as large numbers of people have moved to the area seeking employment. This migration has increased the demand for housing, as well as police, fire and other government services. Additionally, concerns have been raised over the potential environmental impacts of such a large-scale boom. While fracking has been used for decades in the United States, there are concerns over the ability of regulators to enforce environmental protections consistently.[10][11][12][13]
Goehring won election to a full term in the November 2, 2010 election, defeating Democratic candidate Merle Boucher.[14]

Which focal length do you use most for 4x5?
Personally... it's gotta be my Nikkor 240 f5.6.
150, then 210,and last 90mm. Of course this changes with the seasons.
That's just, like, my opinion, man...
Probably my Schneider 135mm 5.6, although I am beginning to use my Schneider 80mm 4.5 more often.
Robert M. Teague
"A man who works with his hands is a laborer; a man who works with his hands and his brain is a craftsman; a man who works with his hands and his brain and his heart is an artist" -- Louis Nizer
90mm, then 150mm and rarely 210mm
Sam Portera
After The Water the book
New Orleans Photo Alliance
Tends to change with the subject for me. But lately seems to be ...
150 followed by 305 followed by 80mm.
150mm... then the 90mm... have yet totry the 300mm.

"One of the painful things about our time is that those who feel certainty are stupid,

-Bertrand Russell
Depends on the subject, but lately, the flower pictures have been the subject and I have been alternating between the 150mm G-Claron, 180mm f5.6 Nikkor-W, and a 210mm f4.5 Tessar. For landscapes or sharp portraits, I have been using my Fujinon 250mm f6.7, Germinar-W 240mm f9, and the aforementioned Tessar. The Germinar and Tessar are mine only due to the generousity of Kerry Thalmann who made them available to his fellow APUGgers. Thanks again Kerry!
Probably the 110mm SS XL, followed by the 210 APO Symmar or the 240mm G-Claron.

Brits Sunday Lunch
When I would visit my friend Lisa in London in the early 80's, I would sometimes see my bi-country friend Allan. He lived here in L.A. and also London where he was a television producer. His flat was in the Holland Park/Notting Hill area, but I love the name Ladbroke Grove so much that I want to say he lived there. I love all the names of the streets and villages in Great Britain.
On occasion, he took me along for a Sunday lunch he had been invited to. Allan would say, "This bloke wants me to come round, would you fancy joining us?" Once there, I was in awe of the carefree, unkempt, unfazed style of the host, hostess and everyone really.
When I entertain, I'm stressed out, dressed up, have too much food and am just generally overwhelmed by it all. Whereas, these folks looked like they stayed up too late (not a touch of makeup on the women) and hardly gave a thought to the guests they were now entertaining in their home. This was the antithesis of the Martha Stewart entertaining regime.
The houses weren't straightened up, nor the tables set. Drinks went around first. Drinks seemed much more important than food. Then slowly (sometimes hours had passed), and oh-so casually, the women would find their way to the kitchen and start hunting for leftovers. WHAT? They invited people over without even the forethought of what food they might serve. It was baffling.
Then suddenly, from the refrigerator they would pull out a partially eaten baked potato, and other seemingly random items that might be thrown into the mix; an old cucumber here, a bit of a tomahto there. The women were like highly evolved ants or bees, each with her specific job to do. Finally, a very satisfying, thrown together, science experiment of a meal would be presented. It was outstanding. Unforgettable really, which is why I'm writing about it all these years later.
Here I am applauding them in 2013 — though I don't quite remember who they were. Some were famous and on various BBC series, so I was aware of them. But unlike notable actors here, they are very low key and not all, "Look at me I'm a celebrity," about it. I am in awe of superior intelligence and wit, and this group was so quick and articulate. I especially like the self-deprecation common among accomplished Brits. Many Americans tend to inflate themselves, and to me there is nothing better than understatement.
I would like to thank my old friend Allan (who I now haven't seen in ages) for these memories, and share with you a brilliant and oh-so easy recipe for a sandwich he once put together in his L.A. home on one of those lazy, don't–go-to–the-market, nothing-in-the-fridge Sundays.
Sometimes I was in charge of feeding his cat, Lucky. He never actually had to give me a key to his Laurel Canyon home because he had a cat door that was big enough for little me to climb through. And I did. I went to visit him one time after he arrived in Los Angeles and we were both hungry. VERY hungry. Cranky-hungry, and you know how that feels.
Allan walked to his refrigerator and looked inside. Mind you, he had been gone for weeks, there was nothing in there. Just as he was about to call his favorite market on Sunset Boulevard that delivered, Chalet Gourmet, which he pronounced with a British-accented Chalet, he pulled out a sorry-looking cucumber. He found some eggs, and put a few in boiling water. There were just a few slices of rye bread that he toasted to bring back to life. Then he set to work. The condiment he used was Grey Poupon mustard. He sliced the cucumber thin and on one side of the bread placed the slices. Then he chopped up the hard boiled eggs which were now at room temperature and put the egg on the cucumber, and placed the other piece of rye bread on top and voila, brilliance!!!!
One of the most unforgettable sandwiches of my life. Simple, but so magically produced from a few random items, that I've never forgotten it. The memory of that cucumber & egg sandwich on a cold, lazy Sunday so long ago has sustained me for years.
Fredrica Duke shares how she discovered her love of food while growing up in Los Angeles on her blog Channeling the Food Critic in Me.

Watermelon care
I have tried to grow watermelons and cantaloupe one time in the past, which was a big flop. With the help from some of you, my cantaloupe plant had done well. Now I have another question. I planted some watermelon seeds on June 1 in my experimental spot(which is a small bed) and they are doing very well, I think.
When I tried to grow melons in the past it seemed that they would never get ripe. I think I was over watering for one thing. My main question is how do I know when to water my melons? The watermelons are growing very well and have small melons on them, will they have time to mature? They are Crimson sweet.
Water your melons when the soil is dry 4" down beneath the soil surface. Water deeply once a week in average weather giving them at least an inch or water, but about twice a week, with at least an inch of water each time. Watermelons are pretty heat-tolerant and drought-tolerant in general but they do like consistent moisture levels.
You do have to be careful to avoid overwatering. Too much water is worse than too little, and so is too much fertilizer. If you give your melons too much water they will have bland flavor and if you give them too much fertilizer (namely nitrogen), you'll end up with melons that have white heart--white to very light pink (or red, yellow or orange depending on melon's mature color) flesh with poor flavor to no flavor and a coarse texture. Excess water in the last couple of weeks as the melon is reaching maturity can make them split open. Ideally you give your plants enough water that the soil is moist six to eight inches beneath the ground's surface, and then not water again until it is dry at least 4 inches down.
Normally, I'd say an inch a week is plenty of moisture for them, but in extreme heat it is likely they need twice that much. A lot depends on how well your soil holds moisture and how well it lets the moisture soak down deeply.
Growing watermelons is an art and it takes time to learn-by-doing to understand exactly how much moisture they need in your soil and your specific growing conditions. This year it is likely melons will need more water than they'd need in a more normal rainfall year.
Fruit maturity will vary depending on the watermelon variety, but in general you ought to have ripe melons about 45 days after the flower that the melon formed from was pollinated. Obviously we gardeners are not standing out in our garden every day jotting down the day and time we believe each flower was pollinated, but at least this gives you a ballpark guess. Ideally, late-forming melons will ripen before temperature are dropping below 70 degrees because their flavor is poor when they ripen in cool conditions.
It is important (and difficult to do sometimes) to give the melons just the right amount of moisture. Too much moisture not only causes bland flavor and cracking fruit, but can stress the plants so much they won't set fruit. Too little moisture can result in blossom end rot or in watermelons that have odd gourd-like shapes.
Hope this helps,
Dawn, thanks,
First, I have very poor soil for melons, but I followed your advice on my cantaloupe plant and it has produced well. I hope to do better next year. The watermelons were sort of an after thought. I needed to test some hay
for herbicide and melons and okra where the choices I made because I had no tomato plants to put into the ground.
I have much better soil over at the old home place, but I also have a much larger critter control problem.
Larry, You're welcome. I hope you get good melons. It is a great watermelon year here. Our plants are producing a lot, and I've been trying really hard to give them enough water but not too much, which is really difficult in clay soil. The folks down at Thackerville that have very deep sugar sand raise some of the best melons I've ever tasted---both cantaloupes and watermelons. The only melons I've tasted that compare to those are the ones that grow in sandy soil in desert-like conditions in Pecos, TX. When I was a kid, the local grocery store in our community always sold only Pecos cantaloupes and they were incredibly good. The ones in stores nowadays do not even compare to those.
Because melons are one of the last veggies to go into the ground, I always find myself putting them in odd nooks and crannies, but they don't seem to mind. I have them growing under okra, but they've escaped from those beds and run wild and are even climbing the fence where I have cucumber and winter squash plants. The watermelons also are climbing the okra plants and running amok through flowers and rows of winter squash, summer squash and the late tomatoes. I'm just letting them do as they please.
Normally we have a lot of trouble with melons because of cucumber beetles, but they are AWOL this year and the melons and cukes are performing incredibly well in their absence.

Yonas - Wanna Be Loved
Artist: Yonas
Producer: Yonas and Sean Ross
Album: The Transition
Avg Rating: 4.1 ( 17 votes )
Yonas isn't just a top-tier emcee—he's the full package, as evidenced by his songwriting and co-production (with Sean Ross) on the latest promo single from Canadian pop-rocker Scotty James. On this freshly-released remix of Wanna Be Loved (the original version of which is currently sitting at #22 on the Canadian Hot AC Billboard chart), the Booth fave steps out from behind the scenes to deliver a brand new opening verse. While this joint isn't attached to any forthcoming project, those digging it can stay tuned for further freshness from Freestyle Series alum Yonas.

"The Araneta Center and so much more" Cubao by nixca316
Cubao Travel Guide: 14 reviews and 35 photos
Our first Philippine backyard was Camp General Emilio Aguinaldo, which is in Quezon City and very, very near Cubao. Well, CGEA is part of Murphy, which is in Cubao, so I guess I could consider myself a genuine Cubao girl too.
My first school here in the Philippines (Holy Spirit School) is also located in Cubao (it's also considered to be in New Manila, but its address is in Cubao)
Cubao has evolved from a semi-rural suburb, to a fast rising economic zone. I remember, but not fondly, considering Cubao as nothing compared to Makati to the point of calling it "baduy" (bahdoooy) (something like outdated, no class and if it's to describe a person---geeky), but now, I can no longer say that.
All the major bus lines are in Cubao and one of the most innovative malls to date (Gateway) can be found here. So is the famous Famer's Market (alongside Farmer's Plaza) and Ali Mall (which has really evolved, but its renovation is not finished yet).
The very first Shoe Mart (a.k.a.) Mall that I remember is the still existing one here in Cubao. I know that it's not very first SM Mall, but that the first one that I ever considered a large building in Cubao.
Ahhhh. So many bittersweet memories here (including Martial Law inside the Camp). We stayed here during weekdays and at Tahanan Village Paranaque during weekends when I was still in grade school (elementary).
During my first three years of High School (St. Scholastica's Manila), we just visited and stayed in Paranaque. During my 4th year (Senior year), my dad got transferred to Cavite (thereabouts) so we were mostly in Paranaque and Cavite(well, I still visit once in a while), so it was goodbye Cubao around that time.
Please read this article written by Ellen Joy Anastacio last August 2004 (when Gateway was still in the making)

Holy Spirit School is located at 29 Ilang-Ilang, Quezon City

These dreams were stupid, and I knew it. Still, my subconscious refused to let it be. I started feeling obsessed with the decision, and it was coloring the latter half of my pregnancy. I felt like the guy in Spike Lee's 25th Hour, just a day away from starting his prison sentence, which of course made me feel guilty. A few of my friends were also pregnant with their second kids, and they all kept talking excitedly about tiny newborn clothes and sleepy newborn cuddles. I wanted to puke. I wondered if I was just missing the maternal gene.
Considering the bulk of parental responsibility for a newborn consists of feeding it adequately, it made sense that I felt defunct. According to all of the medical literature, all the websites, all the popular social media, I had failed to feed my first child correctly. It didn't matter that breastmilk made him sick; there was no way a human could be allergic to its mother's milk--I just hadn't cut out enough foods from my diet. It didn't matter that he couldn't latch; if I'd forgone the bottle of formula to treat his jaundice, he would have breastfed successfully. It didn't matter that he was tongue-tied; a quick snip should have fixed that, so I probably hadn't tried hard enough to counteract his aversion to my breasts. It didn't matter that I was drowning in depression and anxiety; breastfeeding should have improved my mood, and even if it didn't, I should have pushed through for my son's sake. It didn't matter that he thrived on formula; that was simply good luck, and of course, there was still time for the repercussions to develop. And most of all, it didn't matter that I felt with every bone of my body that formula was the right choice for our family. That made me selfish, ignorant, and irresponsible. It made me a bad mom.
Plus: Why It's OK to Not Nurse Your Babies
It had been easy to brush that all aside once my peer group stopped breastfeeding, and once Leo grew and gave me a million reasons to feel proud of my parenting. Once my daughter was born, though, it was all going to start again, and this time it would be way worse. This time there were no excuses. If I chose to formula feed from the start, it wouldn't be for her benefit. It would be for mine.

Ending Child Poverty Now
For the first time, this report shows that by investing an additional 2 percent of the federal budget into existing programs and policies that increase employment, make work pay, and ensure children's basic needs are met, the nation could reduce child poverty by 60 percent and lift 6.6 million children out of poverty.
The United States has the second highest child poverty rate among 35 industrialized countries despite having the largest economy in the world. A child in the United States has a 1 in 5 chance of being poor and the younger she is the poorer she is likely to be. A child of color, who will be in the majority of U.S. children in 2020, is more than twice as likely to be poor as a White child. This is unacceptable and unnecessary.
The U.S. can end child poverty by investing more in programs and policies that work.
Together we can #MakeADifference and help end child poverty in America.

Recreational Angling and Conservation Survey
A short questionnaire to help raise awareness of the conservation benefits of recreational angling.
Nishikant Gupta, a PhD student at the Geography Department of King's College London, is researching river conservation in India and has a deep interest in the Mahseer species found within the Himalayan Rivers, where his study sites are located.
As part of his study, and in collaboration with the Mahseer Trust, UK he is trying to understand the level of environmental awareness and conservation support within the recreational fishing community, for which he has developed an online questionnaire.
The questionnaire takes no more than five minutes to complete and all respondents will be contributing to an international drive to raise awareness of the conservation benefits of sustainable sport angling worldwide.

It sounds like you're talking about CGI scripts. The HTTP headers are passed as environment variables. As there may be other environment variables that have nothing to do with HTTP (eg: PATH), it makes sense to tack on a common prefix to reduce the chance of collisions.

Srinagar: In more worry for farmers, the weather office on Friday forecast heavy rainfall at some places in the Kashmir Valley during the next 36 hours.
"There has been heavy rainfall in the Jammu region for the past 24 hours. We are expecting the same weather system to continue for the next 36 hours during which some places in the Kashmir Valley can receive heavy rainfall," Sonum Lotus, director of the local weather office, told a news agency on Friday.
"We have recorded six centimetres of rain in Jammu region. In the Kashmir Valley, most places have been receiving light to moderate rainfall for the past 24 hours," he said.
Lotus, however, said the weather would start improving from coming Monday onwards.
Kashmir has received deficit rainfall during the months of May, June and July which resulted in drought like conditions at some places especially in north Kashmir districts.
The month of September is usually regarded as dry and sunny during which most paddy harvesting takes place across the Kashmir Valley.
The present wet weather conditions are, however, worrying the local farmers.
"Rains are normally not needed by the paddy crop now which is in the ripening stage these days. The present rains can damage our crops. Ripening is also going to be delayed because of wet weather," said Ali Muhammad, a farmer in central Kashmir`s Badgam district, about 20 km from here.

Apollo 11 Flag Swatch Goes Unsold At L.A. Auction 120
from the now-how-much-would-you-pay dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
It seems this swatch of fabric hasn't done at least two notable things. It would be interesting to keep track of the things it doesn't do in the future, too.
It's the Ken Mattingly of cloth.
Why would you want to own The most underachieving part of the flag
It's like being proud of the child that never left home.
If is the only child that is still alive... would this change your perspective? (you know, nylon isn't quite renowned for sustaining UV and cosmic radiation + over 100 degrees variation of temperature. I expect that the flag now on the moon is just dust now).
umm no. it wouldn't.
I'd rather have the dust of the flag that went to the moon, then a piece of flag that never did.
The eternal question. Is it better to live life or just survive it?
Now, here I can see a good reason for not wishing to have either of them. If you choose to live your life and unless you are one of the 3 that landed on the Moon, owning any of them doesn't bring any plus to your living. If you just survive through your life, owning any of them won't help you.
I guess owning memorabilia is for the inbetweeners (which have they vanity living for them).
Do I get to stay in whatever I consider my physical and mental prime if I survive my life, or do I get to live the life of a struldbrug?
nylon isn't quite renowned for sustaining UV and cosmic radiation + over 100 degrees variation of temperature
Neither is photographic film, and yet some sheeple still believe all those moon pictures are real. [gets into flame-proof suit]
If it didn't go to the moon, who cares that it even went to auction?
The summary conveniently fails to mention that it comes with an autograph of the first man to set foot on the moon, one of the men who actually raised the flag on the moon. The autograph is on a photo of the flag raising so the flag scrap seems to be something to enhance the signature.

so.... for 100K you don't just get some fabric, you also get some ink on a piece of paper?
I guess. You can get lunar astronaut's signatures for far less. I think I saw a photo of Eagle on the moon, with Buzz Aldrin's signature on it, available for $1700.
Neil's Armstrong's autograph is worth more than Buzz Aldrin's autograph. Two reasons: Armstrong is much more reclusive (i.e. he stopped signing in the 1990s, so there is less supply), and Armstrong stepped on the moon first (so he is more of a celebrity, and there is more demand.)
Who cares if it did go to the moon? Who cares if it was kissed by King Tut, worn as a hat by Isaac Newton, and served as a swaddling cloth for the young Abe Lincoln?
Unless there are unanswered scientific or historical questions the artifact may shed light on, it doesn't have any real value apart from our own invented sentimentalism. A sheerly practical person may then not care about it. But I don't particularly see why a strip of the flag that went to the moon would be more valuable for having been taken
Sheer lunacy!
Even if it did go to the moon, I don't see why anyone would care. Placing a value on objects simply because of who owned them or where they were at a point in history is just as absurd as placing a value on someone's "autograph". Unless a signature is attached to a fat check directly cashable to me, then I don't see what the hell I care about some ink on a piece of paper.
I met Buzz Aldrin when I was a kid. That was awesome. It wouldn't have been made more awesome by getting an autograph from him or by plant
Somebody wouldn't settle for less than $100K for a scrap of cloth that almost was sent to the moon?
I'll settle for a much more reasonable $10K for a scrap of cloth from underwear resembling the underwear worn by Neil Armstrong.
Somebody wouldn't settle for less than $100K for a scrap of cloth that almost was sent to the moon?
I'll settle for a much more reasonable $10K for a scrap of cloth from underwear resembling the underwear worn by Neil Armstrong.
Just make sure is is authentically autographed before and you may find buyers.
A quote from the NY times [nytimes.com] FA:
"They were throwing it all in the trash," Mr. Moser recalled of the remnants in a recent interview, "so I picked it up out of the trash can, mounted it and had Neil Armstrong sign it."
Give me a second....yeah, it's signed.
I can also rub it in some trash too. Hell, for $15K, I'll even fly down to Cape Canaveral and rub it in some trash from NASA.
"It was put in the trash can and I just took it out and said, `I'm going to keep that,'" he said.
Moser said he had Neil Armstrong sign a photo of the flag planted on the moon when the astronaut returned to Earth and he kept the picture and his rescued scrap of flag together in his NASA office until he retired in 1990.
Yay for consistency in the media. NPR reports [npr.org]
Ah, NPR, the intellectual arm of American media that reports such gems as
to hold the banner out straight on the gravity-free moon.
For Sale: Lady Gaga's Underwear
Condition: Slightly unused
Description: These underwear were owned by Gaga herself but never worn. It is not clear if she actually ever touched them or even knew she bought them. But they were hers for sure.
Bidding starts at $1000
Geeze, not this shit again.
It was not in Hollywood, it was in Groom Lake, Nevada! How many more times does it have to be said?
Just like the 1000's of flags that came off the same roll of fabric. This little bit is also just a bit of that roll that stayed behind. Sure, it has a sig, but it could just as well be another flag that was signed. Guess it is worth what a fool will pay for it.
Actually this scrap comes from the guy who was in charge of creating the moon flag apparatus. So the scrap does have a pretty good paper trail as coming from the flag that made it to the moon.
"Mr. Moser, then a 30-year-old mechanical engineer, was put in charge of designing a flag mechanism that could not only fit into the lunar module and survive the flight, but also make the flag appear to fly on the windless moon. His solution involved two sections of a staff, a telescoping tube and a nylon flag bought at a local housing goods store (Sears, he thinks). But in order for the flag to fit the staff, its edges needed to be trimmed. "They were throwing it all in the trash," Mr. Moser recalled of the remnants in a recent interview, "so I picked it up out of the trash can, mounted it and had Neil Armstrong sign it." Forty-two years later, Mr. Moser is auctioning off those flag remnants."
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/10/science/space/10moon.html [nytimes.com]
Maybe in another 50 years that strip of flag will fetch (equivalent of the time) a couple of million dollars (or whatever currency is in use at the time).
Oh it will. Oh yes, it will. When sold as scrap nylon.
(just look at inflation).
If it was a chunk of the Berlin Wall, it'd be fucking worthless. The Berlin Wall was an extremely large thing and was broken into many pieces that are sold all over the world. Unless it's a very large piece of the wall (like, at least the size of a person) and it is covered with some of the known graffiti that was popular on the wall, then a chunk of the Berlin Wall is worth about as much as a chunk of any other rock laying around. The only market for pieces of the Berlin Wall today are in selling to sucker
Another piece of cloth that was made from material that was grown on the same field as the one that produced the material for the flag! Bid starts at $10000
Do they grow nylon in the fields now?
If I could afford it, hell, why not?
This is a piece of the flag that went up for the first moon landing. I don't care if it is the flag of another nation. I find it presumptuous to devalue the remnant because it never went to the moon. Heck, it's presumptuous to think that many people will ever own anything that actually went to the moon. It is even more absurd to assume that someone would buy it for its future selling price. The fact remains that it was part of humanities first foray to another planet. (And the Earth-Moon system is essentially a double planet system.) It is an important piece of history that says more about our future than almost any artifact dug out of the soil of our home planet.
To the nay-sayer's: just stuff it. You clearly have no appreciation of how important this achievement was. And it was unbelievably important since, within a few decades of achieving heavier than air flight, we managed to reach another world!
I don't know about anyone else, but I find it amusing that you apparently find it absurd to devalue the garbage related to the moon shot. If someone finds Neil Armstrong's discarded urine from his physical testing prior to the flight, should we value that too? I mean "it was part of humanities first foray to another planet. [sic]" Think of how much was wasted by letting booster stages burn up in the atmosphere! We should sue someone for letting those incredible pieces of history burn up! OMG!
To the neigh-sayer's: just stuff it. You clearly have no appreciation of how important this achievement was. And it was unbelievably important since, within a few decades of achieving heavier than air flight, we managed to reach another world!
On an objective scale, nothing bigger than a subatomic particle has any intrinsic value.
Going to the moon was essentially pointless, frivolous and meaningless.
And yet millions of people around the world watched it, and wept for joy because for one brief moment, our reach did not exceed our grasp, and we touched the heavens.
If the thought of having a connection to that astonishing moment - and the men involved in it, the frail apes who walked on another planet - doesn't embiggen your soul, then honestl
Sorry, I don't worship celebrities, I worship the science.
The science that's had its funding cut so it can't even replicate what was achieved over 40 years ago, and won't be able to do it again for decades. I think $100,000 would be better spent on something like the X-Prize or just donating it to a scientific project than owning something vaguely (very vaguely) associated with the past glories of a single nation.
It's why I'm much happier now that ESA is actually starting to lead the game rather than NASA
So to have a connection to a stunning event, I need to own a piece of material that was present for it. Uh. Okay.
How much for a swatch of the MTV flag they planted on the moon?
(It's been seen more times on TV.)
If it never made it to the moon it is just another worthless scrap piece of fabric; the whole point of owning space memorabilia is to have something that actually went into space or came from space; and not some discarded scrap of fabric that they cut out because the flag did not fit on the flag holding apparatus. Honestly it sounds like the guys who has this scrap fabric spin a snake oil salesman tale about it an try to get some dumba$$ to buy it.
This guy was a US Government employee at the time, right? And the flag was paid for by NASA, right?
So what the HELL is he doing with it? Oh
So he's selling stolen US Gummint property? That's clever of him.
This guy was a US Government employee at the time, right? And the flag was paid for by NASA, right?
So what the HELL is he doing with it? Oh
... yeah, he stole it. Right, I missed that part, doh.
So he's selling stolen US Gummint property? That's clever of him.
Perfectly legal - the statute of limitations is LONG over. So yes, it IS clever of him.
So somebody desecrated the flag and wants to profit from it? The worst part is that the flag flying on the moon is a desecrated one! WTF?

Frosting A Glass Jar For Thanksgiving (A New Tradition!)
Sherry is a diligent gratitude journal keeper, so with Thanksgiving around the corner we thought it would be nice to adapt her daily practice and create a so-thankful activity that we both could have fun with. And that's where this 99 cent apothecary jar from Salvation Army comes in (it was originally $1.99 but we scored it during a 50% off glassware sale).
We've both been itching to take on a glass etching project, and seeing this one on How About Orange just about put us over the edge. So we ever-so-creatively (kidding) decided that we wanted to etch the word "thanks" on the base of the jar. But we didn't have/were too lazy to get a stencil (nor did we want to be limited to off-the-shelf fonts) so we decided to make our own.
Our homemade stencil consisted of a simple computer print out of our text (in Helvetica) scotch taped over a piece of painter's tape stuck to the back of our wooden cutting board. I promise this will make more sense in a moment.
With everything taped down, I used an exacto knife to cut out my letters one by one – all the way through the painter's tape, but not through the cutting board (I'm not that strong). Oh, and yes I decided not to be picky about preserving the hole in the "a." But we did crack up when Sherry said "I don't think we need to save the a-hole." I know, we're like fifth graders over here.
With the "stencil" cut, we then disposed of the paper print-out guide and slowly peeled the painter's tape from the cutting board, being careful not to rip the tape or let it stick to itself. Once it was safely off the cutting board, we stuck it right onto the glass jar. Ta-dah! Tape stencil mission complete.
The hump in the "h" got a little wonky, but other than that we were pleasantly surprised by how well our makeshift stencil was holding up. And with a couple more strips of tape on the sides (just to be safe) we were ready to apply the etching cream without having to worry about getting it in the wrong places.
We picked up this Armour Etch cream for $6.50 at Michael's (thanks to a 50% off coupon) and broke out this tiny paint brush to apply it.
After letting the cream work its magic for about 1.5 minutes, we washed it off in the sink and removed our tape stencil. We had a tiny smidge of bleeding between the "k" and "s" but otherwise it worked out beautifully. The instructions made it unclear how long we should keep the cream on (since that depends on your "stencil" material). But because our tape wasn't as durable as a vinyl stencil might be (ie: etching cream probably could have eaten through it in a few minutes) we just kept an eye on the backside of the stencil through the glass and washed the cream off & immediately removed the tape when we noticed that the edges weren't looking as crisp as they had in the beginning of the cream-application phase (since the etching cream was probably starting to break down the tape at that point). Amazingly, it turned out really well. Especially given our what-are-we-doing method of trial and error. Now we've got the perfect little spot to collect our "thanks" this month.
See, the plan is to each write something that we're thankful for on these small colorful cards that Sherry cut out of scrapbooking paper from Michael's (for 50 cents a pop, we got three autumn-esque sheets). Even though we're starting a bit late, our goal is to write one per day all month long so by November 30th we'll have accumulated sixty notes of gratitude (we already wrote extras to make up for the lost time). Oh and we have a no peeking policy so we won't know what each other has written until the end of the month. That should be a fun little family reveal.
We're also thinking at the end of the month we'll punch holes in the cards so we can store the collection on a ribbon or a binder ring. That way when we break out our "thanks jar" next year we can relive all of the things that we were grateful for in 2010 and create another collection of things we're thankful for that year. Who knows, it could become a great little family tradition with Clara and future kiddo(s) adding their thanks to the pile when they're older. And we love that we'll have a yearly account of everything that we're grateful for. Kind of like a diary, but less high maintenance since we only have to scribble one small thing down each day for a month.
Do you guys have any fun Thanksgiving traditions? Any glass etching stories of success or horror? An acute attraction to printed scrapbooking paper like my wife? She can't be the only one who geeks out in the paper aisle.
Psst- Big deal. Clara's turning six months old and we're about to start solids. Ahhh! Check out our roundup of cute kid plates, bowls, bibs, and placemats over on Babycenter, and feel free to chime in with starting-solids advice.

I etched a set of cheap wine glasses like you can get (used to get?) at Bed Bath and Beyond 12 for $10 a few months ago. It was so much fun, now my plain cheap wine glasses are my special Passover glasses (I put a Jewish Chai on them.)
I did use contact paper (the stuff you use to line shelves) and word of advice to anymore trying this: wear plastic gloves and use thick coats. My first glass may not have used enough cream and you could see the brush strokes. This is one case where more is better.
I have to try this now. I've been a little too hesitant for awhile now. Maybe I'll incorporate this in my new home office.
Looks great…
LOVE LOVE this. I think that is what our house needs.. a great way to get our 4 year old twins involved too. :)
We have a 5 month old.. and we have decided when it's time we are skipping the whole puree food thing and doing soft table food right away.. we've done some research and decided it will work best for us. Oh have I mentioned my 5 month old is 20 lbs yep he doesn't need any food anyways.. mama's milk is obviously enough – lol.
I had no idea etching was so easy!? I am thankful for this post :) Thanks John and Sherry!
I love this! I've never tried glass etching but it seems easy enough so I might just have to test it out some time. We have a thankfulness jar that we use the same way, I just put stickers on it to spell thanks but I like this idea better. :)
remembering what you're thankful for is a wonderful thing!
Great project. I will have to try that sometime. I have a question-can you use that stuff on a window? We have a huge 4ft x 4ft window in our master bathroom and for the life of me I cannot figure out why the builder wouldn't put frosted glass in the bathroom. We have blinds in there now, but it kills so much light. I have been trying to think of a way to frost/etch the window and I don't really know all my options. Any advice?
I love this so much!!! I keep a gratitude journal from time to time but not regularly – usually during particularly rough times when I really need the reminder. But I've already been thinking about a gratitude blog, where the posts are just regular posts but they all end with something I'm grateful for… we'll see, that's all mixed up with the other blog ideas I've got and I need to simmer them down and see what they become!
I think this is so cool! I thought it was much more complicated.
This is too cool!! You guys are so impressive.
What an awesome jar! I have a lidded glass jar from Michael's with m&m's in my kitchen and etching "sweet" on it would be so cool. You guys gave me an awesome project idea for the weekend–Thanks!!
Sherry, you're not the only one by a long shot. Printed paper, little notebooks, stationery sets, special markers, anything related to school supplies is enough to send me over the edge. I think it's in the genes because my son is the same way. He was so excited to start school this year "for the school supplies". LOL.
what a great idea!! Thanks for sharing. PS I cannot believe Clara is 6 months already! Solid food time.. sooo exciting!
I'm a long time follower/first time commenter but after having to think on my feet for an explanation to give my four year old during my laughing fit after reading the "not saving the a-hole" comment I figured why not start now!
Seriously, we are very close to putting our house on the market so I'm anxiously awaiting all of your tips and tricks to get this baby sold!
And I love the tip to use tape for this project – never would have thought of it!
Did you guys ever try frosted glass spray paint? That might work for this type of project also. You're always scoring at Salvation Army or Goodwill! Keep up the good work!
I LOVE this idea. I am thinking this would make a great project for a candy bar at my wedding. Thanks guys!
I love this idea, and it looks SO easy! THANKS for sharing!
I love this idea. Plus I just got a Michael's gift card for my birthday and I've been saving a bunch of glass jars recently.
that is so cute, what a great way to start family traditions!!
i am also a scrapbook paper fanatic. basic grey being my favorite line. i don't scrapbook but find all kinds of uses for the paper!!
Love the etched jar–I've been wanting to try etching for ages now!
I am doing a "25 days of the little things" challenge, where I write down one little thing that makes me happy each day until Thanksgiving. I, too, am storing them in a glass jar (though mine is just a plain canning jar with paper covering the top). Love it!
What a brilliant idea! You mentioned a vinyl stencil would have held up better than the tape….do you know where one can find this?
That turned out really cute! Instead of tape, you guys might want to try vinyl contact paper next time. That's what I use, and it holds up well. Thanks for the tip about taping your template on TOP of the stencil to cut it. That'll make my next project a breeze.
I love this idea. Sharing the cards with family would be a great way to mark Thanksgiving (besides the turkey, of course). Also, I have to find something to etch, pronto, because the jar looks great!
What a really great idea! I never thought of using tape for something like this, it's almost a 'duh' moment! I have an etching project I've been putting off…I think I might get to it!
Also love the idea of a time-capsule'eque thank you jar. I think I'm stealing this one, my kids are going to love it! :)
Starting solids advice…check out http://smittenkitchen.com/baby/ for some inspiration! We just did mushable things like avocado, banana, and roasted sweet potato…we've now graduated to chicken in tiny pieces (nine months still no teeth)
And of course, I love the Thanks jar and was considering implementing something along those lines myself.
Hello, I live in Richmond VA as well. I have been meaning to purchase some etching cream, and I was wondering where you found your 50% off coupon.
I think this is a sweet new tradition to start for your family, and I like that you had no qualms about letting go of the a-hole. Would that all of life's a-holes were that easy to get rid of.

A decision regarding the proposed $15-million Fraser Surrey Docks coal-handling facility will likely be delayed several weeks because Port Metro Vancouver requires more information about its potential health risks.
"We've identified areas we want to see more information," said Jim Crandles, PMV's director of planning and development.
"We've asked for an update on the air quality assessment, on the analysis of the coal composition, including what's in the coal, some baseline information on background soils, as well as an assessment of the risk to human health for the components in the coal dust and diesel emissions."
But Crandles said he didn't think it would be a "huge delay."
"All in, I think it will take a couple of months. It depends on how quickly they complete the work."
PMV — which is now reviewing a permit application by FSD for the development of a coal-handling facility to handle up to four million metric tonnes of coal at its Surrey facility — said Wednesday that as part of the ongoing technical review of the project, PMV has reviewed all comments received to date from all levels of government, First Nations, public and other stakeholders.
However, it said that as part of the Environmental Impact Assessment submitted by FSD in November 2013, PMV has identified areas that require further information, particularly around the assessment of the potential effects on human health.
"Once PMV receives the final documentation from Fraser Surrey Docks, we will take this information, in addition to comments received to date and all other documents received, into consideration as part of the Project Review Process," said PMV in a statement released Wednesday. "A decision on the project permit will be made once this project review is complete."
Public comments have been overwhelmingly negative over PMV's assessment of the proposed coal-handling facility, with environmental and community groups fighting the export of thermal coal through the terminal, in part, because it will contribute to global warming.
Kevin Washbrook, director of Voters Taking Action on Climate Change, called PMV's Wednesday announcement a "step forward in that they're acknowledging the previous study was inadequate.
"Now they're saying it wasn't good enough," he said. "That's what we were saying from the get-go.
"For this further assessment to be credible, it has to involve the health authorities and it needs to be transparent."
