It's been a tough slog for Whole Foods in Brooklyn already and the organic grocery giant hasn't even started construction on the 68,000-square-foot market it wants to build at the corner of 3rd Street and 3rd Avenue in Gowanus. The store, which will include 37,000-square-feet of underground retail space, can built as-of-right (once the environmental clean-up is complete), so no approval from community groups is required; that doesn't mean there's been a lack opinions voiced. "They've wrapped themselves in the cloak of being green and organic, but they're certainly not acting that way," said Eric McClure, campaign coordinator of Park Slope Neighbors. "Their talk is not matching their walk." Another local group, Green Roof Brooklyn, says it supports the arrival of Whole Foods in general but wants to company to cut about 140 parking spaces and add a green roof to help ease pollution in the area. A third group, Friends and Residents of Greater Gowanus, is critical of how the environmental stage of the project has been going, claiming that the process is pushing benzene and other contaminants into the underground water supply. Whole Foods paints the naysayers as a small minority of the thousands of residents who will be served by the store. We're curious to know how the Brownstoner community feels about this one. Take this quick poll to let us know. Update: As of about 2:15 today, 120 people have taken the poll. The results so far? Over half of respondents say that they are "psyched for the Whole Foods plan as is and think the critics should shut up and get out of the way" while about one third say they "welcome the idea of an upscale market in the area but have concerns about the environmental impact of the project."

These protesters are going to be mainly from the Park Slope Co-Op. While I understand why they are put out, I don't see how they as a private club (that's what they are, a private club) get to make decisions for the public, the entire community. And why do people in Gowanus, 4th ave and 5th ave want to trudge up to 7th Avenue? Is there really no room for both stores? Of course there is. The population of Brooklyn is expanding all the time.
Plus how can we even know what we think, when EVERY development from a big chain store provokes protests in Brooklyn? Walmart we can understand, but Whole Foods and Ikea are responsible employers, and good businesses. Me personally, it makes me very turned off. My eyes glaze over when I hear about yet another protest of anything corporate, by the crunchy granola residents of Brooklyn. And this is coming from a lifelong Liberal. They need to rethink their goals and tactics and pick their fights better.
The last thing Brooklyn needs is another big box store with a too small parking lot to make the experience miserable. If they're going to build the darn thing, build it so it works, and makes for a pleasant experience. Costco anyone? Home Depot? Staples?
None of these stores are in residential areas, 10:59am. Costco has a huge parking lot. I love Costco. Where do we buy these things, if the residents of Brooklyn won't let people build them? Is this a tyranny of those who own cars, who can easily drive out to the suburbs on shopping errands, over those who have to use public transportation and would love to have at least SOME diversity of shopping choices in their neighborhood? I'm frustrated by the limited stock in the health food stores, for a community like Park Slope. It doesn't make sense not to have a larger, better grocery for shoppers here. Not everyone owns a car and can drive to Red Hook's Fairway every week, you know.
say what you will about the protesters, but if they don't speak up, these giant corporations will take advantage. i went into the new whole foods on bowery the other day and really felt that the company has strayed from its core principles. it was just like any other giant, excessive supermarket. i didn't see much environmental about it: excessive packaging, nothing in bulk, not many local foods.
whole foods should set an example with its brooklyn store and build a totally green building. say what you will about the park slope food co-op, but at least they haven't given up on what they believe. it may be what the first poster calls a private club, but anyone can join. it's not exclusive.
The Park Slope Food Coop is not a club. It's a coop. Anyone can join.
The real issue about the Whole foods is that it will increase traffic and congestion, which is a valid concern. I don't have any issue with Whole foods as a grocery store, in fact, I welcome it. However if it's set up in such a way which increases traffic, I think something needs to be done to alleviate it. So I don't have a problem with the community becoming involved in order to have the best situation possible.
No evidence whatsoever that the protesters are from the co-op. Plus it really doesn't make any sense that they would be. There's plenty of organic markets in the Slope (including one literally half a block from the co-op.) Another one – and an expensive one at that – is hardly an issue in that regard.
The co-op may be members only, but that's hardly restrictive if they'd let someone like me join 😉
I think the area needs something. Peferably an environmentally sound, non-congestion-creating something.
I think the addition of Whole Foods to Brooklyn is a major coup. I would rather welcome them then argue over a few parking places which i feel will be much needed. Certainly a green roof is a nice idea but i know that unless the architect planned for and accounted for the considerable weight in the original design then retrofitting a green roof may not be a practical design addition. Does anyone know the answer?
i've given up on whole foods anyway. it's way too overpriced, and as someone said, not especially green or really anything special anymore. it's a glorified safeway.
i know there are a lot of trader joe's haters out there, but i would much prefer one of those up here near 7th avenue. they would do so well. we need a good small-ish store that keeps with the neighborhood and is walkable in my opinion.
whole foods is a destination for those with cars. i won't be walking down there very often, if at all…nor will most of us that live up near 6th, 7th, 8th, which is where the concentration of park slope residents live.
give us something good that we can walk to.
trader joe's in the 7th ave key food spot would be ideal.
If FROGG claims that an environmental hazard has been created, it needs to address that to the State DEC. My experience is that DEC takes their job very seriously.
Pietro, no store is going to stock what their customers don't want. The way Whole Foods got bigger and more upscale was by demand of their customers. I love the upscale products. I don't fill my entire basket with them, but getting one as a treat is fun. What's wrong with having fun? One doesn't need to live an ascetic life to be a concerned, responsible citizen. Suggesting that a store stock products in order to dictate moral values to people? Kinda creepy.
Comparing stores in Park Slope and what they offer – PS stores don't offer NEARLY enough supplements and vitamins and body/beauty care products. That's what Whole Foods offers that we need so much more of. There are a couple particular supplements I've taken for years and years, that I could so easily find in CA, that I now have to order online, or travel 40 minutes into Manhattan to buy at the Whole Foods now. Which stinks. These are not rare, hard to find supplement brands either. It's one of the biggest brands. But Back to the Land in PS only stocks like one of their products not all of them. There's no reason we shouldn't have access a large inventory of vitamins and supplements in Brooklyn. It's ridiculous.
I wanted to add to my comments at 11:43am, that this is what capitalism is all about. If the health food stores in Park Slope are so afraid of the competition, then maybe they should have done more to expand and improve these last few years. There is this bizarre attitude in this kind of store, that you find in no other, that the consumers are required to be supportive no matter what. Which is a holdover from the 70's when these stores first started appearing, but it's 30 years later and they need to accept they will have to compete with one another. Example – I've asked many times for them to stock the supplement I need that I've taken for years and they've never done it. The guy has never even written it down. They have attitude. And not because I'm being rude. So why should customers be loyal to that? They're very entitled, and it's annoying.
i really welcome the addition of whole foods, but i also agree that protests can be a positive way of ensuring that companies work with the concerns of the neighborhood. as far as i understand it, the protesters aren't trying to keep whole foods out, they're trying to get the company to build a greener store with enough parking. good for them.
does anyone know the fate and the weird & beautiful lonely old building on the property? will whole foods save it or tear it down?
Whole Foods will never open here – it is a toxic waste dump and the $ to fix it is just too high. Toll Brothers and Boylemgreen should have seen the writing on the wall – Gowanus is good for industry and that's about it.(which btw isnt bad)
What exactly is the "undergound water supply"? To whom is the water supplied and whats it used for?
Whole Foods may be coming to Park Slope (although I always thought that location was actually Gowanus…), but that doesn't mean they exist only to serve Park Slope. I live across the park and would be delighted to drive over to Whole Foods when it opens. Yes, I'd be mighty impressed if they built green, but I also would like ample parking… I'm shopping for a large family and have to transport a lot of groceries.
Better yet – any update on the possibility of Trader Joe's coming to Church Avenue?
I am a supporter of Whole Foods. There isn't a decent supermarket anywhere near the vicinity that one can find quality food. I have to ride the subway to manhattan just to get fois gras and caviar. You're not going to find that at the Pathmark or Key Food.
Sorry to hear u have to shop and ride subway for the fois gras. I just have my driver take my cook on such errands.
Surprise, surprise, the mighty FROGG is against the project. Oooh, that'll kill it. Why don't they just rename the group Coalition to Keep Gowanus Sleazy and Abandoned? Or Neighbors Aligned to Bring Back the Early Twentieth Century? If Whole Foods can clean it up enough to open a grocery, great; if not, too bad; but what in God's name is so bad about trying to clean up a toxic dump?
I'm a co-op member and will shop there, albeit only occasionally. As for driving, hey, whatever they can do to make it pedestrian-friendly is fine by me. But give me a break–any Brooklyn car driver making an occasional short drive to shop is having FAR less impact on the environment than any suburbanite. Talk about the narcissism of small differences.
BTW, Brownstoner, all due respect, your survey choices are kind of silly. The pro- and anti- choices both make the respondent sound unhinged.
The typical reason for opposing parking spaces is the belief that they will induce vehicular traffic. However, there is another side of the coin: lack of adequate parking will result in drivers circling around looking for on-street parking spaces, thus creating even more traffic. Clearly Whole Foods' business model for this location anticipates many patrons from outside the immediate neighborhood (similar to Fairway) so people will be driving there in any event. It is better that there be a place for them to park when they get there. I wonder if behind some of the protests is not the Co-op which probably would not be affected much but rather Fairway, which stands to be a great deal.
All that said, I do support a green roof and/or some other form of on-site stormwater detention, as well as a responsible environmental cleanup, and maybe the opposition will help achieve that.
How come the co op on Union does not have a green roof? And those trucks delivering their food is polluting the hood, hey the food coop should have their food delivered by horse. and recycle the horse crap while your at it and all the methane created by manure is heating up the planet, we are doomed
Most food co-op people are for the Whole Foods. Membership levels are currently too high as it is, and huge numbers of the wealthiest will undoubtedly leave the co-op to go to whole foods instead.
AS for Anon 12:51 – The Food Co-op already purchases energy credits. A green roof would be nice, but it is not usually feasible to modify and existing building, especially one that is rather small.
Well, Whole Foods stock price has been taking a serious beating lately. Their equity rating is in the toilette and the cost of new stores coming on line has destroyed their bottom line.
Community opponents just need to increase the store's opening and WF might abandoned the site.
Why would anyone want to stop this store from opening? People aren't going to go out and buy a car because Whole Foods is just too far to walk to. I mean, get a grip people. If you don't like Whole Foods, shop elsewhere.
I have yet to read ANYTHING from ANY community-based organization flatly opposing the construction of a Whole Foods market in Gowanus. Can any of the posters making this accusation point me to such a statement? No — what community-based groups are doing is holding Whole Foods accountable on environmental issues.
I find it astonishing that anyone would object to demanding that Whole Foods properly & safely clean up the brown field they are going to be building on. Why wouldn't you want that?
The posts claiming that the Park Slope Food Coop is somehow the force behind groups expressing concern about the development of the Whole Foods site are truly off the wall. The PSFC is a thriving community institution of over 30 years standing, where you can buy organic for the same price or less than what you'll pay for non-organic anywhere else. The opening of the high-end/organic grocery store Union Market 1/2 block away from the Coop has not impacted PSFC in the slightest, nor has Fairway. Whole Foods is just as over-priced as Union Market. I don't think PSFC is going to suffer.
The WF site has been industrial for, what 150 years or so?
Groundwater? We in the rest of Brooklyn get ours from the Catskills, does anyone in Gowanus use groundwater from a backyard well?
What's so wrong with a company cleaning up a brownfield and putting it to better use, and employing people from the city to staff it when it's done?
And folks should get off their unrealistic high horses. People will drive to this Whole Foods from a wide swath of Brooklyn, to work or to shop.
P.S. some have written that the co-op is not only a club but in fact it's a cult.
FYI the corner building at 3rd and 3rd will be refurbished, not torn down.
Get with the program, you bunch of AJ Soprano-like whiners.
Redirect the fight against something really stupid, like Atlantic Yards in its current form.
12:35: that's a joke, right? I wouldn't know which stores carry those items because I'm a vegetarian, but if Whole Foods carries Foie Gras, they should give up trying to pretend they are green. Not that it harms the environment per se, but last time I checked, torturing geese isn't isn't too enviro friendly.
Are people who post in comments actually unable to read? Nobody said anything was wrong with Whole Foods being built. Community groups act as a balance to large corporations and a very complaisant city government. Have you noticed that nobody but community-based groups have been fighting to make sure developers do the right thing? Honestly! Why is it "unrealistic" to make demands of developers? Developers are out to maximize benefit to themselves. In the old days, government was there to represent the common good. But we have a completely complicit and/or complaisant city government when it comes to development, so it has fallen to community groups to represent the common good.
Once again — it isn't a matter of halting the construction of Whole FOods, but of negotiating with the developer to get the best possible plan that takes community needs and environmental issues into full consideration.
Once again — what, precisely, is wrong with that???
ANd as for the poster who cannot seem to find foie gras in Park SLope — try Blue Apron.
The urgent matters of public interest the "community groups" (which is not the same as saying they represent the majority of community opinion) are fighting for are:
1. Creating a green roof at a site that was formerly a brownfield. Why is a green roof any more urgent here than at, say, any new condo development? Why not petition them? The fact that they choose to make it an issue here, and only here, tells me they are hostile to the very idea of the Whole Foods, even if it would be bad PR to say that explicitly.
2. Compelling Whole Foods to reduce parking in the belief that, given too much parking, shoppers will make the "wrong" choice and must be compelled to make the "right" one.
I'm perfectly happy to see Whole Foods come to Brooklyn. But it's really too far for many PS shoppers who are on foot and faced with carting heavy groceries several long blocks (certainly anyone who lives east of 5th Ave). And what about the traffic impact? So many of the big new developments in Brooklyn depend on car access, viz IKEA, Fairway (basically anything that gets built in Red Hook), Whole Foods etc. It really shows up a lack of a basic urban plan for our borough — and I'm not talking about the kind of "plan" that subsidizes big developers to erect luxury condo towers downtown. Bloomberg and Markowitz should be discussing an expansion of public transportation, including ideas like an electric trolley line between RH and PS. Don't tell me this is quixotic. The only reason NYC's economy is so robust is because it is still relatively easy to move millions of workers and residents around on a daily basis.
i agree wholeheartedly, NeoGrec.
while i don't oppose the whole foods, i can't imagine how putting it in one of the already established brooklyn pedestrian neighborhoods wouldn't have made more sense.
you'll notice in manhattan they are in columbus circle, chelsea and union square.
not inwood, battery park or 7th and ave. D.
I used to want to retire to Scarsdale but with the corporate owned stores moving into Brooklyn, now I won't have to! Thanks hipster wannabes!
Anon at 3:41:
On the parking issue — I think what NeoGrec said deserves to be reposted:
"So many of the big new developments in Brooklyn depend on car access, viz IKEA, Fairway (basically anything that gets built in Red Hook), Whole Foods etc. It really shows up a lack of a basic urban plan for our borough — and I'm not talking about the kind of "plan" that subsidizes big developers to erect luxury condo towers downtown.

The only reason NYC's economy is so robust is because it is still relatively easy to move millions of workers and residents around on a daily basis."
Also, the parking issue isn't a matter of "compelling people to make the 'right' choice — as if some kind of essential freedom is being taken away by a nanny government! Please! This is a very childish argument. We have a serious problem with air quality and traffic in this city. Every big development project that is going to increase traffic needs to be carefully evaluated.
As for the organization pushing for a green roof — well why the hell not? Why does this mean being hostile to the building of Whole Foods altogether? I really don't understand your argument. I haven't looked into the green roof issue particularly, but I can imagine why it would make sense to push for a green roof on a store that's going to have thousands and thousands of square feet — isn't that exactly the sort of roof where there are sufficient economies of scale to make it worthwhile? I don't understand why the fact that this group hasn't petitioned condo tower developers for a green roof makes their petition of Whole Foods illegitimate. I can well imagine why the first wouldn't make sense but the second would.
Community groups should have a place at the table in such essential matters as zoning and development. The fact that these groups are not elected is another silly argument of yours. Did someone elect the developer? Or — as I pointed out in an earlier post — are we supposed to put the fate of our neighborhoods in the hands of the Building Department? That part of city government that has proved incapable of standing for the public interest? Or perhaps the City Planning Commission? That rubber-stamped AY?
Your belief that the efforts of local groups to modify development projects are illegitimate is equivalent to being "anti-development" or trying to stop anything from being built is symptomatic of terrible short-sightedness and ignorance that is all over the comments section of this blog.
must preview.
Meant to say that arguing that the efforts to modify development projects are equivalent to trying to stop them altogether and thus being against anything being built is foolish. By that logic, nobody should ever say anything negative at all about development projects. We should just smile and say thank you giant corporation for bringing us this wonderful store?
fyi. the paper's name is Austin American-Statesman
Ya, sure!! < <
The Whole Foods site will only be cleaned to a standard for it's M2 zoning designation. The company stated that to cleanup the site further is too costly and as stated that as long as they "cap" the contimination under the store, those using the store will be protected from them.
The language of "cleanup" is being missed used for this brownfield. There is no "cleaning" going on here. The plan is to leave the polution in the ground where it will continue to be moved around by ground water and tide currents.
It's not WF's job to completely bare the burden of 150 years worth of contamination. The state should really be doing that out of simple obligation to Brooklyn residents.
How the FUCK is Whole Foods in Brooklyn a "coup"? That's a pretty unique amenity in this country, & city… CELEBRATE!!
Ya'll should look into the CORRUPTION $$$ that kicked out Red Hook Crushers too, so Whole Foods could locate nearby.
You "leafy block" asswipes may not care where the UNLICENSED contractors who do your goddamn renovations drop that crap but those of who suffer YOUR garbage in the streets do.
Wake up already, goddamnit. Whole Foods = Wal Mart (at least Costco are quasi-lefties believe it or not.)
South Brooklyn
I don't know why Park Slopers really care about Whole Foods being here or not. You have plenty of choices in supermarkets – organic or not. It's those of us in Carroll Gardens (where it's actually being built) who will benefit most from Whole Foods. Since the Key Food (which was a disgusting store) closed on Court Street & 2nd Place, there is NO supermarket in Carroll Gardens. We have no choice but to drive to Pathmark or Fairway.
At least with Whole Foods, people can walk across 3rd Street and get groceries. I welcome a decent supermarket with good quality merchandise.
As for the parking and traffic issues, people, have you been to 3rd Avenue and 3rd Street? It's a major thoroughfare in an industrial/commercial area. Come on! I'd rather have grocery trucks unloading in a parking lot on 3rd Avenue, than double parking on Union Street in front of the Food Co-op.
As a Carroll Gardens resident I pretty much agree with BeReasonable. However, I am very concerned about a store who touts fresh, healthy , wholesome foods built over contaminated soil. I lived here all my life and that area was always considered hopeless…..has it all suddenly disappeared…..has WF found a way to dispose of it….I wonder….I wonder if I could enjoy food that is stored in such a place. I'd like to know more>

There's nothing wrong with advocating for a better Whole Foods design. It's a free country.
Just the same, it's a free country and the developer can build whatever the hell he likes, with or without community input. Of course, WF wants to build the best store for the lowest cost – they're in business to make money.
It's not just the contaminated soil!
Have any of you actually seen what comes out of the Park Slope sewage overflows located near the Whole Foods site? The DEP may have a plan to reduce sewage flow from the Baltic St CSO, but they aren't doing a thing about the crap dumped from Park Slope pipes.
Come on down and take in the aroma of the canal near Whole Foods site. Seems that Whole Foods big marketing idea here is to attract the likes of Shrek and Fiona to the swamp-of-all-swamps. Who else would enjoy the experience of buying organic food while taking in the air and sites of the toilet contents floating by. (At least Fairway has a real river out their door.)
But WF's isn't building the most cost effecient building as one writer states. Their "cellar" retail space, over 60,000 sq.ft. will be very costly to construct inside the pond and will most likely cause many construction delays as they work to keep the water out of the cellar pond.
And let's not forget that the tax payers are covering for this.

I'm not much of a purist about most things but Beatles' songs are an exception. The idea of a movie that used the songs of The Beatles to tell a story did not really appeal to me. That the songs were not the original recordings made the idea seem even worse. However after re-reading Roger Ebert's review of the movie "Across the Universe" I felt I had to at least give the film a shot. Jude (Jim Sturgess) has come to the United States to find his father and make his way as an artist. While here he meets Max Carrigon and his sister Lucy. From here the film follows Jude and Lucy through the turbulent sixties while capturing their up and down relationship. This happens to the beat of the accompanying background of Beatles tunes.

I was once asked what I thought of Robert Redford. My response was immediate. I didn't like him and I thought he was a lousy actor trading on his good looks, though he was certainly a talented director. A short while later the discussion turned to our favorite movies when asked I began naming them: Sneakers, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, The Last Castle, The Sting, The Great Waldo Pepper, The Natural and finally Jeremiah Johnson. There was a sudden pause in the discussion when the person I was talking to said, "Didn't you just say ...?" Read more »
Quite a while ago I posted about the movie "Melancholia," a film about the end of the world and how people reacted to the knowledge that not only their lives would end, but also the lives of everyone else on the planet. Recently I watched the film "Seeking a Friend for the End of the World." As the title suggests this is another film about the end of the world. The premise is almost exactly the same; what effect would knowing you and your world will end in a matter of days have upon you. In fact these movies could almost be two episodes of the same movie. "Seeking a Friend for the End of the World" stars Steve Carell as Dodge and Keira Knightly as Penny two individuals traveling together for very different reasons. Dodge is seeking his old high school sweetheart to spend his last days with. Penny just wants to be with her family. Read more »
My last posting regarding the death of "The Adventures of Superman" star George Reeves resulted in my reminiscing about my childhood love of this particular Superman/Clark Kent. "The Adventures of Superman" is an interesting mix of adventure and plain silliness. The result is that there is something for almost everyone. The series started out as an adventure series aimed more at adults than children. In the beginning the series had an almost film noir quality about it; there were real mysteries and realistic (for the time) dangers. Superman may have saved the day, but the stories themselves would have fit well in almost any of the detective shows of the era. If you like a good story and don't mind the cheesy special effects of the time, check out the first season of "The Adventures of Superman." Once you get past the Superman origins episode you will find some good half hour mysteries. Read more »
Superman found Dead! I missed the headline blazing across newspapers all over the country. I'm not surprised, I was less than four years old in June of 1959 when George Reeves, the actor who starred as both Superman and reporter Clark Kent, was found in his bedroom, dead, apparently of a self inflicted gunshot wound. At four I wasn't interested in such things as Superman. At six and seven that changed and I was hooked on the television series "The Adventures of Superman." At some point after that age I found out that George Reeves, Superman, was dead. What I didn't know until much later in my life was that there were in fact many questions about the death of actor George Reeves. Enough questions to make one wonder did the actor really kill himself or was he killed? Read more »

I built 4 boxes a year ago from Ipe (ironwood) and have finally sanded and finished the last 2 of them. If you want to see the building of these look up the post, Like to sand wood, here on my site. I'm not sure if I will choose Ipe again as it is so hard to sand out the milling and router work but these are so cool, heavy and rock solid. All of the profiling cove and router table work was a lot of fun and seat of the pants design. The same finish as before, 8 coats of wipe on poly but get a perfect coat and not wipe it off followed by hours of automotive polish compound then wax. Hope you like them, My hands are sore from all the buffing!

Thanks all! Funny that many say these look like coffins, I never meant to have them look that way just free form from the start. I should say that 3 people want me to make urns for loved ones ashes so maybe I'm on to something here.

Leave it to A1Jim to give A1 information! Thank you for the links above, such great information. I have built many decks here in Seattle using Ipe and have saved every scrap for years. I have been told by the lumber yards that Ipe is sold as Ironwood as a trade name so now to have the facts really helps. I found a source of wood they called Brazilian redwood that was identical to Ipe but was much less cost. I built some gates with it and found it to have more movement (shrinkage) than the Ipe I usually use. I now have a pin less moisture meter and that may help solve issues from now on.

yea howdy scott you got these lookin mighty nice, and i had the same thought, they look like mini coffins, the way those tops gleam, that is fantastic ..im glad that we got more info on the wood here, i cant believe people use this beautiful wood for decks..to me that is crazy…great job here…

A PROTEIN that becomes more abundant when temperatures fall could be the key to how our cells keep time.
The brain imposes small daily swings in body temperature to help ensure that the body follows its 24-hour clock. But the details of how cells fall into step are unclear.
Jörg Morf at the University of Geneva, Switzerland, and his colleagues exposed mouse cells to cycling temperatures. They found that levels of a protein called CIRP, which is known to be activated when temperatures fall, cycled too. Then they found that CIRP binds to RNA regions associated with the production of certain proteins that help regulate the cell's internal clock. Levels of these proteins also vary with body temperature.
Blocking CIRP production reduced the variation in these proteins, suggesting it is essential to our body clock (Science, DOI: 10.1126/science.1217726).

Condition Census 1853 U.S. Assay Office Twenty Dollar Gold, MS651853 $20 Assay Office Twenty Dollar, 900 Thous. MS65 PCGS. K-18, R.2. The U.S. Assay Office gold pieces are normally included in the Territorial and private mint gold coinage of the early West, but in reality the pieces are neither Territorial nor private. The U.S. Assay Office was the forerunner of what would become, in 1854, the San Francisco Mint, which began producing quarter eagles, half eagles, eagles, and double eagles in that year. When legislation was passed that required all Assay Office coinage to conform to the Mint Act of 1837, the effect was to have the older dies, with a listed fineness of 880 THOUS, repunched with 900 over the 880. All the pieces made by the U.S. Assay Office are of the 900 over 880 variety, but the undertype 880 fades over time. The 900 fine pieces were coined from March 1 to Oct. 30, 1853, with a total production of about 2.5 million pieces. Those dies, perhaps 30 in all, were destroyed in the San Francisco Great Earthquake and Fire of 1906, which ironically left the San Francisco Mint standing amid the rubble of hundreds of other nearby buildings.
This piece shows considerable evidence remaining of the 88. While the 9 shows an unrecognizable jumble at the top left loop, the first 0 shows prominent "horns" atop it, from the left and right sides of the underlying 8's top loop, which fail to join at the apex of their respective arcs. Both sides are highly lustrous, with deep golden-orange color and a complete absence of singular distractions. This delightful specimen of Territorial gold stands squarely atop the Condition Census of known examples of this available variety. It is one of five pieces graded in Gem condition at PCGS, with none finer, while NGC has graded an additional four pieces in MS65, again with none finer (11/06).

|Principle of operation
|Reception reports
The 10GHZ beacon PI7GOE has been mentioned in various beacon lists for many years.
Yet, the beacon PI7GOE is still not QRV. But this will change soon:
Some SHF-enthousiasts within our Radio Club have set up a plan to become active on 10GHZ with narrowband SSB / CW. We'll start with building and operating the beacon PI7GOE at 10368.075MHz. This beacon is eventually going to be located at the Churchtower in the town Kapelle (locator JO11XL), co-located with the 2m repeater PI3GOE at 145.725/145.125MHz.
Further, as an initiative of the Radio Club, a joint transverter building-project will be started with the intention to stimulate activity on 10GHZ in our province Zeeland. More information about this 10GHz transverter project will be given during the monthly Veron A33 meeting on october 30 1998, in the Radio Club (see main page).
|Principle of operation
The principle of operation of the 3cm beacon PI7GOE is (for the time being):
Local oscillator: G4DDK004 2-2.6GHZ LO source: Crystal oscillator on 108.00078 Mhz,
output: 10mW at 2592.01875 MHz
2.5 to 10GHz multiplier G3WDG001:
In this module the 2.592MHZ LO signal is multiplied by 4 to
the desired transmitting frequency of 10368.075MHz. Output power is approx. 100-150mW.
1Watt 10GHz Power Amplifier G3WDG007:
Initially we don't have plans to build this module and use it for PI7GOE as
we're still looking for a sponsor for this module or at least for the expensive MGF2430A power GaAs FET.
Slotted waveguide antenna: The signal of the x4 multiplier module
is fed to waveguide (WR90) via a SMA-Waveguide transition directly at the
multiplier output connector.
The piece of waveguide is acting as a omni-directional antenna.
Beacon CW keyer: For identification purposes of the beacon,
OM. Willem PA7WLH (ex PE1FYO) has volunteered to develop a CW-keyer. Altough many designs do exist,
this keyer is built in a 87C51 microcontroller, the program (firmware) for the keyer
is also written by Willem. More information and the schematics of the keyer can be found
at his website
The (adjusted) time schedule of this project is:
september 4-18 1998: Functional design of the Beacon CW keyer.
|(Problems encountered during) realisation
October 1998: The oscillator signal of the 2.5GHz LO module is not stable enough, it sounds jabberish/howling
when listened to the 12th harmonic on 1296.0093MHz, with a 23cm SSB receiver.
Listen to a recording of the signal in WAV format.
After discussing this problem with Sam G4DDK, several parts (such as the crystal) have been checked.
Eventually an unstable carbon resistor R4 (470ohm) across the coil L1 appeared to cause some of the instability. After replacing this resistor with a metalfilm one, the signal sounds more stable (but isn't perfect yet).
November 1 1998: Replaced the 2 BFY90 transistors (TR1 and TR2) in the oscillator and buffer circuit bij new ones. Sam G4DDK advised to mount the metal-case almost direct on the PCB with leads as short as possible, and the cases soldered to the groundplane of the PCB. Unfortunately this still not results in improvement of the signal stability.
November 4 1998: Tried another crystal (106.5MHz) in the oscillator circuit. The 12th harmonic (on 1278MHz) sounds much more stable. So my conclusion is that the original 108.00078MHz crystal must be causing the instability. I have sent Email to the crystal supplier with a complaint about the bad crystal. We're awaiting his reaction...
December 11 1998: An envelope containing a new 108.00078MHz crystal was in my mailbox today.
Unfortunately I had no time to test it right away - Today is my son Julian's first birthday!
January 2 1999: Because of financial advantage, I got the opportunity to invest in a piece of
measuring equipment that is much desired in our hobby: I've purchased a (2nd hand) spectrumanalyser, suitable up to 22GHz.
Now the signal of the 2.5GHz LO-module and later on the multiplier module can be analysed really good.

Day 5: Wednesday 8/25/10-
, to Mirage Outfitters (Trans-Taiga), QC, 440 miles
I could hear light rain on the tent fly at
, but it had mostly stopped by the time I got up at 6. Cloudy sky and breezy, a shame after yesterday afternoons perfect riding weather. Im on the gravel for most of the day and would like to ride it dry. Im packed up and loading the bike when one of the guys from the RV comes over to visit. From
and speaking good accented English, he is very interested in the trip and wants the full rundown. I get a beaming smile when I say that I am enjoying my travels in
, and a laugh when I tell him what happened in
, and then Val-dOr. Yes, but if you want to see really beautiful women, you must come to
. The citizens of
are very proud of all things
. Goodbye with a handshake, theyre headed south too. The skies are starting to clear.
I had some breakfast bars with me and the bike was fueled. This was going to be a solid day of riding with two gravel roads and some high speed paved sections. Once again, I was concerned that I might run out of daylight, so by 7 I was started south to the Chisasibi road. I see fuel pumps when I pass the airport, but I dont know if they sell to the public. West towards Chisasibi, but I dont intend to ride to the village. Im watching for the turnoff to Centrale La Grande-1, a dam about halfway out the road, and the start of the Longue Pointe gravel road which will take me 30 miles northwest to James Bay.
The access road is paved and after I pass several maintenance buildings, the dam is in sight. I dont known how many of these dams Hydro
has built in the province, but most dont have the access that this one does. Ive been across the top of dams before, but hey, its a lot more fun to do it on a bike in northern
, especially with adventure on the other side.
There are some maintenance crews working and everyone turns to look as I ride by. Im sure bikes get out this way, but most riders going to take a look at the Bay probably go through Chisasibi. Not me, Id rather ride this gravel bush road out to the Cree landing at the end. The gravel starts right at the dam, and after just a few miles, I can see that this road is going to be tricky. The surface is coarse crushed stone, and doesnt look like it has been used much lately. This road is the first real test of the ER6C and Im cautious to start, getting a feel for how this loaded bike is going to run in the marbles. Prudent, it sure doesnt look like theres anyone out here. Damn, this is big country, it seems to go on uninterrupted forever.
Concentration is the key to riding these roads, and as the speed increases, so does the peril. Your eyes are burning a hole in the road, probing for anything that can hurt you. Theres plenty that can hurt you out there, so if youre slow to learn and recognize the hazards bad things can happen. Ive been on thousands of miles of these roads and still run into occasional trouble.
The road winds towards the coast, passing many Cree camps, some tidy and most not. Im unsure how and when these camps are used, maybe moose or caribou season only. No one around today, and some of the camps dont look like they have been used for years. I run up on a section of freshly graded gravel, deep, and you sure as hell better be watching for these, or down you go. I find the grader that churned up the road parked on the side, good, and then finally just a few miles to water.
This landing is used exclusively by the Cree and their boats are skidded up the gravel shore far enough to be safely above the storm line. The grader operator had made several passes between the waters edge and the storm line to make it easier to launch and pull the boats.
In eastern
the boats are called freight canoes, but when I used this same boat in northern
, it was called a scow by the locals, although it doesnt fit that definition anywhere else. Im surprised to find a fiberglass panga style boat pulled up with the rest. You would find this boat from
south, and I fished from this same boat in the
. Amazing to find one way up here.
And a makeshift anchor
The Cree must have camps on the islands or up the coast. This material was neatly stocked and covered, ready to load, but its weathered from sitting there awhile.
There were snow machines and sleds left all over the place, indicating a lot of activity at certain times during the winter.
Men in small boats, and its big water out there, this I know. I almost lost my life in northern waters running the same boat I see at this landing.
You need some luck in most ventures, but if it runs out, maybe someone will remember you.
I put a boot in the saltwater, and then back on the bike for a fast run to the dam. I have this road pretty well figured out and can maintain good speed. I pass a pickup headed to the coast and I think its the grader operator, the only person I would see. A ptarmigan flushes at the shoulder and flies right along with the bike just outside the mirror. I could have reached out and grabbed it. I get back to the dam and have a chance to see it from the other side. This is a small dam compared to others in the area, but still an impressive structure.
Across the dam, out to the Chisasibi road, then east to the Baie-James, Im on the move. Unfortunately, I need to run back up to Radisson for fuel. Ive used over 100 miles of fuel and wouldnt come close to having enough to reach the days destination without refueling the main tank. Theres no fuel between here and the Trans-Taiga intersection.

Popes of the Roman Catholic Church
According to Catholic tradition, Jesus founded the papacy in the first century, when he chose St. Peter, the leader of the apostles, to be his earthly representative. "Thou art Peter and upon this rock I will build my church," he states in chapter 16 of Matthew. "I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven." Those words, which now circle the dome of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, serve as the biblical mandate for the papacy. All popes are considered symbolic descendants of Peter and are thought to hold "Peter's Chair"
Since then, there have been more than 260 occupants of the papal office. The institution has endured through the defining moments of European history, including the split of the Roman Empire, the bloodbath of the crusades and the rise of the Italian Renaissance. More recently, popes have struggled to reconcile the strict traditions of doctrinaire Catholicism with the realities of modern life, including defending firm stances against abortion and the death penalty. Here, a short history of some of the most notable occupants of "St. Peter's Chair."

"Might be 3,500 now. Oh, don't quote me. I didn't say that..."1959 Ted Williams 2,500th Career Hit Baseball Given to Johnny Orlando. Three years of World War II military service during an era when The Kid was averaging over 180 hits per season, and the bulk of two other campaigns lost for a second tour in Korea, denied the game's greatest hitter certain membership in the 3,000 Hit Club. As such, we find here the most significant milestone ball related to the iconic slugger's career hit total, an Official American League (Harridge) ball laced a first inning double off Kansas City Athletics right-hander Ray Herbert in a five to three road loss on June 2nd, 1959. The umpires held up the game as the ball that recorded his 2,500th hit was retrieved and delivered to Williams, who then sent it into the visiting dugout for safe-keeping. In interviews after the game, the forty-year old superstar noted that the milestone might have been much larger had Uncle Sam not twice come calling, but he quickly caught himself, embarrassed that someone might think he hadn't gladly made the sacrifice.
In his characteristic unsentimental style, Williams quickly concluded that he had no need for a trophy of his accomplishment, and made a gift of the historic sphere to famed Red Sox clubhouse man Johnny Orlando. Our consignor was gifted the ball by her great aunt Thelma "Billie" Clark Orlando, Johnny's widow. It makes its hobby debut within this Platinum Night Auction, with the consignor's letter of provenance.
The cream-colored sphere exhibits light game use from its historic ride courtesy of Teddy Ballgame's Louisville Slugger, and is notated "2500th hit, June 2, 1959" and autographed by the man himself in the boldest of blue ink. A single swipe of a pen on the panel to the north was likely placed as an identification mark in the dugout immediately after the hit was recorded, in order to assure that the proper ball made it back to the Hall of Fame outfielder.
Our auction results database would indicate that only a scattered few Williams home run baseballs have surfaced in the collecting hobby, and certainly no game used spheres which could rival the presented specimen for historic import. To this date, fewer than one hundred Major Leaguers have summitted this vaunted plateau, and the key relic of the achievement from the game's greatest hitter could properly be characterized as an American treasure. Letter of provenance from consignor. Full LOA from PSA/DNA. Full LOA from James Spence Authentication.

A sluggish economy didn't keep shoppers away from Campbellsville stores "Black Friday" morning in search of a good deal.
Several local business managers and owners say this year's Black Friday shopping crowds were busy, and they hope the large crowds remain throughout the holiday shopping season.
Dakota Farms owner Julie Pippin said Friday was a good day for her business, which opened its doors at 7 a.m. She said the store didn't have a day-after-Thanksgiving sale last year.
Taylor County seems largely untouched by the nationwide economy's downward spin. The unemployment rate remains among the lowest in the region and two companies have located in the county this year.
"Taylor County has been very blessed," said Ron McMahan, executive director of Team Taylor County. "In September 2008, we had the lowest unemployment rate of all the counties surrounding us. We also have the lowest unemployment rate of any county in our planning region, the Lake Cumberland Area Development District."
Students in advanced biology classes at Taylor County High School have a new classmate. The new classmate is short, furry and has a white handlebar mustache.
The classmate could be a male but is most likely female. The classmate's name is Hailey. Or Charley. Or maybe Harley or another combination of Hailey and Charley. Hailey/Charley has never uttered a word but has become fast friends with his - or her - classmates.
As a matter of fact, the classmates have adopted it.
With fuel prices hovering around $1.85 a gallon, Kentucky State Police officers expect increased traffic on the roadways this holiday.
Thanksgiving is the most dangerous holiday of the year for motorists, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The four-day holiday driving period includes heavy traffic, weather and long-distance road trips, which combine to create severe travel conditions. Often, family celebrations include alcohol, which later evolves into impaired driving.
Brittany Jackson
Being thankful for some may be for their career or their health, but for me, I'm thankful for the simple things in life. I'm thankful for my beautiful daughter, my wonderful mother, and my crazy, outrageous siblings.
I am originally from Tennessee. I am so thankful to God for bringing me to Campbellsville, for bringing me home. I am so blessed to have an awesome church like Elkhorn Baptist Church and two awesome preachers like Brian Rafferty and Haywood Riner. God has truly blessed me with a church family that loves everybody no matter how down and out they are.
"A single thankful thought towards heaven is the most perfect of all prayers."
—Gotthold Ephraim Lessing
Today is a time to reflect on the many ways we've all been blessed. And hundreds of people put their reflections into words in the Central Kentucky News-Journal's annual Thanksgiving Essay Contest.
The contest asked readers to think about how they have been blessed and what they're most thankful for in their lives.
Saturday's annual Green River Arts and Crafts Festival at Taylor County High School featured everything from food, quilts and jewelry to Christmas decorations, dolls and purses.
A Campbellsville man has pleaded guilty to assault and other charges after being accused of threatening to kill himself and several other people.
Danny Berry, 26, of 45 Amber Drive in Campbellsville appeared before Taylor Circuit Court Judge Allan Bertram on Tuesday, Nov. 18 during regular motion hour proceedings.
Berry pleaded guilty to second-degree assault, possession of marijuana, possession of drug supplies, first-degree fleeing or evading police and first-degree wanton endangerment. A charge of first-degree attempted burglary was dismissed.
The temperature was hovering around the freezing mark Thursday afternoon as Betty Witham stopped to fill up her vehicle after work. But at least the cold air is the only pain Witham and other motorists are feeling at the pump these days.
After peaking with the near record high price of $3.98 in September, gas prices have plummeted steadily. On Thursday, the average price of a gallon of regular unleaded in Campbellsville was $1.69.
"If they can get gas prices down this low, you'd think they could keep them low," Witham said. "I hope they do."

A.J. Campbell Collection
Image: Returning from N. E. Id. with 'Spoils' of the Day."
Source: Museum Victoria
This collection consists of 2,772 images taken by Archibald James Campbell. These are made up of a combination of black and white prints and glass negatives. Many of the images of birds and nests were used by Campbell in his book Nests and Eggs of Australian Birds, including the Geographical Distribution of the Species and Popular Observations Thereon, published in 1900. There is also a significant number of images taken by Campbell on his various field trips around Australia with groups such as the Ornithologists Union, Victorian Field Naturalists, The Working Men's College Photographic Club and his family.
The collection came into Museum Victoria's care on 22 December 1915 and forms part of a much larger holding which includes 1,884 specimens and an archive of letters, manuscripts, notes and sketches. In the early 1990s this collection was separated into two. The archival material most generally related to Campbell's ornithological and the specimens remained in the Ornithology Department and the other images and glass negatives were retrieved from the strong room under the stair in McCoy Hall and registered into the History and Technology Collection. Later in 2006 more albums were discovered in the Museum Library and transfered into the History and Technology collection.
The History and Technology collection breaks down as follows:
518 - Album photographs
1486 - Glass negatives
756 - Photographs
1 - Printers Block
In 1954 A.J's son AG Campbell died and left a large amount of material to the Museum. This material is also held by Museum Victoria - see Ornithology Department.

Need to know: CV cliches Why you can`t find a jobHF interviews
Emotions have been running high in Australian politics ever since Julia Gillard, the nation's first female leader, accused opposition leader Tony Abbott of sexism and misogyny.
However, plans to create a register of foreign land holdings in the country's farming sector may help take some of the heat out of another emotionally-charged issue currently in Australia–overseas investment.
Ms. Gillard said the new register would remove the politics from the crucial debate on foreign ownership of Australia's farmland, as well as fostering more informed discussion on its impact on agriculture. The prime minister was speaking at the National Farmers Federation conference in Canberra, the nation's capital.
