This is a bit odd, three typewritten pages with the Apollo 11 menu, on Whirlpool watermarked paper.
Each meal was planned and packed before the mission, and each crewman could choose from a menu of options, aiming for 2,500 calories/day. Each meal was in a foil-wrapped "TV dinner" tray, the norm from Apollo 10 onward.
A key detail (below): the first walk on the moon was powered by bacon! These bacon blocks were coated with gelatin to combat crumbs.
A major improvement for Apollo over Gemini was the availability of heated water and food in the command module (but not in the lunar module). For the first time, hot coffee was possible, fifteen cups for each astronaut, with Aldrin requesting black, Michael Collins with sugar, and Neil Armstrong's light and sweet.
Tang was nowhere to be found, as Armstrong patiently explained to me. Buzz Adlrin added "the three of us dutifully sampled the orange drink and instead chose an orange-grapefruit mixture as our citrus drink." (James Hansen's First Man: The Life of Neil A. Armstrong). Also missing was that staple of science museum gift shops, astronaut ice cream. The astronauts settled instead on a variety of puddings and cookie cubes.
The freeze-dried food was rehydrated in metered amounts through a pistol-style squirt gun on the end of a hose, dispensing 1/2 oz. of water per click. The water was the byproduct of the fuel cell electricity generators.
This is a transverse section through the stem of a Horse Hair (Equisetum arvense.) This is the epidermis of the middle layer in the internode region of the stem, e.g., www.flickr.com/photos/14643312@N02/17227273543. The image is with partially crossed polarizers. The silicate deposition which is birefringent (bright white here) appears to be on the inside of the epidermal cell walls consistent with what is reported. Specimen collected along the Dowagiac River, 25 May 2015. In retrospect, the stem was not perfectly straight in the paraffin block and it was too thin.
The protocol was as follows. Specimens fixed in FAA (formaldehyde, acetic acid, ethanol) 48 hr. Dehydrated in IPA at 35, 50, 70, 85, 91, 95, 99 %. Infiltrated with paraplast saturated xylene 48 hr followed by 3 Paraplast baths prior to embedding in Paraplast. Sectioned 7 um thick on a Spencer 820 microtome. Cleared in xylene, 5 min, 2X. Rehydrated in 99, 95, 80, 70 %IPA. Stained in Johansen's Safranin-O, Fast Green (24 hours in Safranin-O, 15 sec. in fast green). Cleared 2 X in xylene 10 min each and mounted with DPEX.

Fenix SPF 30 Rehydrating Sunscreen
This AWARD WINNING sunscreen promotes skin hydration and combats free radicals, while our cutting edge sunscreen technology gives you broad-spectrum UVA / UVB protection.
Recommended Skin Type: All skin types
Usage Directions:
Apply daily to face, neck and body, or apply liberally before sun exposure. Use before applying make-up. To maintain protection reapply after swimming, or excessive perspiring.
Key Ingredients:
Avobenzone (Parsol 1789®) - A revolutionary development in sunscreen technology approved by the FDA in 1998. While traditional chemical sunscreens could block against UVB (the “burning rays”) and UVAII wavelengths, they could not adequately block out UVAI rays, the ones responsible for the skin damage that results in wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, etc. Effectively protects from UVA rays.
Octyl Methoxycinnamate
Octyl Salicylate - Protects against UVB rays. Considered a non-comedogenic raw material.
Oxybenzone -UV absorber that protects from UVA rays.
Seaweed Extract - Deeply hydrates all skin types, leaving the skin with a real sensation of suppleness and softness. Rebalances the skin’s natural environment as it provides nourishment.
Algae Extract - Ensures proper skin hydration, and delvers a wealth of amino acids, proteins, minerals & vitamins to skin. Supports the cell renewal process. Excellent moisturizing agent.
Orchid Extract - Naturally elevates the sun protection factor, while rehydrating the skin’s surface.
Vitamin A - Improves skin elasticity, moisture content and suppleness while reversing the signs of photo-aging.
Vitamin B - The most popular anti-oxidant, Vitamin C is a required component in the production of collagen, the tissue responsible for skin suppleness. Moreover, Vitamin C has been shown to help slow the production of hyperpigmentation (“age spots”) while providing some UV protection.
Vitamin C - Penetrates the stratum corneum and maintains moisture levels of the skin for long periods of time (16 to 24 Hours). Accumulates in the epidermis and forms a barrier against moisture evaporation from the skin. An anti-oxidant, Vitamin E helps prevent free radical damage in the skin tissues.

One of our go-to snacks on this trip was cheese and crackers – specifically Ritz Crackers. It was a nice change from the endless rehydrated food buffet. As we were driving around looking for photogenic, Norway-type things it was common for me to toss the camera, still mounted to the tripod, onto the back seat to save time on set up and break down at each stop. As we reached our next point to explore I hopped out of the car and quickly grabbed my camera. I got a few steps from the car before realizing my lens had become wedged inside a half full Ritz Cracker box that had been laying in the back seat. This lead to a hilarious Ritz Camera joke. Megan couldn't stop laughing. Ok, maybe it was a groaner and Megan was just laughing at the situation (until I told the joke – that put an end to her laugher).
I learned that this is a working truck and not just a PR vehicle when I saw this truck on the scene of a recent fire nearby. This truck supplies the firefighters at the scene of a fire with oxygen, ice and rehydrating water bottles.

This is a transverse section through the lamella (gills) of a Panaeolus foenisecii mushroom. The spores have stained an amber colour. The spore producing Hymenium really soaked up the Hematoxylin. Future sections will be thinner and stained in Hematoxylin for less time to reveal the internal structure. The cap surface is out of the frame to the left.
The following protocol for fixation is largely based on Chamberlain, "Methods in Plant Histology, 5th ed., 1905. Staining was per Johansen. Fixed 24 hours in aqueous chromic acid-acetic acid (3.7 g potassium dichromate/l + 10 ml glacial acetic acid/l). (The substation of potassium dichromate for chromic acid based on equivalent chromate conc. is reported to work as long as the pH is less than 3.4). Washed 24 hours in flowing water. Dehydrated in 10, 35, 50, 75, 85, 95, 99 % IPA in water, 6 hours each min. Cleared IPA:Xylene, 1:3, 1:1, 3:1, 2 hr. min. Infiltrated in xylene saturated with Paraplast for 2 days, followed by 2 changes of melted Praplast for 2 hours each. Embedded in Paraplast. Sectioned on a Spencer 820 microtome at 11 micron. Cleared in Xylene 2X, 10 min each. Rehydrated 99 (10 min), 95, 85, 70 % IPA, 2 min. each. Stained Gill's Hematoxylin 20 sec. Washed 3 min running water. Blued 0.05 % lithium carbonate 3 s. Water rinse 1 min. Stained 1 % aq. Erythrosin-B 2 min. Dehydrated 99 % IPA 2 min 2X. Cleared 2X xyene 5 min each. Mounted with DEPEX.

Schizophyllum commune, the split gill fungus, perhaps the world's most widespread fungus-- and possessor of over 28,000 different sexes
It is probably the most widespread fungus in existence, being found on every continent except Antarctica, where there is no wood to be used as a substrate.
There is a single common worldwide species, although there are a few less common species of Schizophyllum. The genus name means "split gill," and thus this is the split gill fungus. It does not appear to be very closely related to the other gilled mushrooms, and most researchers place it in its own order the Schizophyllales. The gills function to produce basidiospores on their surface. They appear to be split because they can dry out and rehydrate (and thus open and close) many times over the course of a growing season.
This is a great adaptation for a climate with sporadic rains. Unlike other mushroom species, the mycelium only has to produce one set of fruiting bodies per year, which can then dry out and rehydrate and keep functioning. It's a great strategy for reproduction. You can probably even go out in the dead of winter and find sporulating fruiting bodies of this fungus. It's a very successful wood decay fungus that causes a white rot. Interestingly, this fungus has also been known to cause a human mycosis in just a few cases involving immunoincompetent people, especially children. In one case, the fungus had grown through the soft palate of a child's mouth and was actually forming fruiting bodies (mushrooms) in her sinuses!!!
Schizophyllum commune is a very common species of mushroom in the genus Schizophyllum. It is the world's most widely distributed mushroom, occurring on every continent except Antarctica.
Although European and US guidebooks list it as inedible, this is apparently due to differing standards of taste rather than known toxicity, being regarded with little culinary interest due to its tough texture. S. commune is, in fact, edible and widely consumed in Mexico and elsewhere in the tropics.
The gills, which produce basidiospores on their surface split when the mushroom dries out, earning this mushroom the common name Split Gill. It has more than 28,000 sexes.
The cap is shell-shaped, with the tissue concentrated at the point of attachment, resembling a stem. It is often wavy and lobed, with a rigid margin when old. It is tough, felty and hairy, and slippery when moist. It is greyish white and up to 4 cm in diameter. The gills are pale reddish or grey, very narrow with a longitudinal split edge which becomes inrolled when wet; the only knows fungus with spit gills that are capable of retracting by movement. It is found predominantly from autumn to spring on dead wood, in coniferous and deciduous forest.

So an update with the vinyl/rubber stuff on nylon hair, it HAS made a huge difference in texture to the nylon. Before, even after multiple hair conditionings, the nylon felt sort of dry and brittle but after coating it in the car interior liquid, the hair feels much more elastic and glossy.
As with the flat ironing, it did managed to straighten a few more millimetres of hair but the last 5mm seems to be impossible to really hydrate or straighten.
So, if you got a lot of dolls with nylon hair like the Disney Store dolls or MGAE dolls, I definitely recommend using car interior spray meant to help aging vinyl and plastic to rehydrate dried out nylon hair.

The long drought of July August, September and extending into October now has to 2nd October 2017 seen more than a dozen Bangalows growing at Raintrees Native and Rainforest Gardens at Diamond Beach on the NSW Mid North Coast simply give up on life. Many have survived worse droughts but for some reason this one has taken a much heavier toll on the species.
Most of those that have succumbed have been growing directly next to a larger specimen which has presumably had more capacity to extract moisture than the smaller adjacent palm.
In all cases the trunk of the palm atrophies, shrinks and squares off in profile as its cells constrict due to lack of water. Once this happens the weight of the otherwise green frons above becomes too great for the trunk to support and the pam head just drops over in the crownshaft. Affected palms may live on for a considerable time, even years like this if rain comes regularly enough to allow the trunk to rehydrate however the palm is doomed and a centre frond will not generally re-establish.
In the case of these specimens I'll take them down and probably not replace them.
If the long dry extends into late October 2017 and worse, into November then other palms could also suffer the same fate. Fingers crossed for at least some spring rains although if recent years are any guide we are likely to see the dry continue for a while yet.

Since tomorrow, 17 March, is St. Patrick’s Day, Jersey Shore decided to make some “fruit jerky.”
“What better way to celebrate St. Patrick than with dried tomatoes and some other fruits?” said Aggie Ring. “And!!! I pity the poor fool who doesn’t know that a tomato is a fruit.”
“But…” I said. “We’ve never done anything like this before. What if we rip a hole in the fabric of the space-time continuum and destroy the galaxy?”
“Look. If it doesn’t come out well, we can just rehydrate them in some vodka.” said Aggie Ring.
“Oh, Tito’s!” I pleaded.
We went to the grocers. Aggie Ring wanted some really fleshy heirloom tomatoes but they didn’t have any. Aggie Ring made a command decision to go with Roma tomatoes. They’re fairly fleshy. You can’t make dehydrated tomatoes out of salad tomatoes according to the documentation we’ve found. They are great on salads, but not for drying out and maintaining flavor.
A couple of pineapples were picked out that seemed very fresh. In a moment of Aggie Ring lunacy, he picked out some honeydew melon. After letting out his trademark “Evil Aggie Ring™” laugh, Aggie Ring said, “I’ve always been a fool for a good honeydew melon.”
It turned out to be easier to prepare the fruits than any of the beef, pork, or poultry we’ve made jerky from in the past. Wash, peal, slice and throw into the “big ass” dehydrator. No need to marinade.
Aggie Ring cut of the tops of the Roma tomatoes where they had connected to the stem and sliced them vertically down the middle. This way, they form a “pool” or perhaps “jacuzzi” is a better word for the mass of the tomato fruit to form in while the moisture is being pulled out of them. You don’t want the “good stuff” to drip through all of the trays.
The pineapple and honeydew were cut into small pieces and also placed on trays in the dehydrator.
“Well,” said Aggie Ring. “My work here is done. See you guys in about 10 hours.”
I hope this all works out. If not, I’ll have to bring in Texas Aggie Ring’s Austin, Texas buddy “Tito” to see what can be done to get some life back into the fruits.

The mud on the bottom of this temporary pond has little or no oxygen content. The pond has been dry for several days. Bloodworms (Tubifex sp.) live in the oxygen deprived mud of the dried pond. A short rain formed a few temporary pools (only 8 inches or so in diameter) at the low end of the pond. The small rain pools filled quickly with thousands of the worms supplying their red hemoglobin molecules with fresh oxygen. West Friendship Park, Maryland.

This species is threatened with extinction. The largest living member of the Felidae. No two tigers have the same pattern of stripes. Face markings can be used like man’s fingerprints. They can tolerate temperatures as low as minus 45 degrees F, due to long, thick fur coat and a fat layer as much as two inches thick on its belly and flanks. Their vision is 6 times more acute than that of man under poor illumination, making them mainly nocturnal. They are normally solitary except for courting pairs and females with their young. They are primarily terrestrial, but are excellent swimmers. Tigers construct several dens throughout their territory beneath fallen trees, rocks, in stone cavities or rotten thickets. Tigers hunt alone, depending on sight and hearing more than smell; actively searching for prey more often than waiting in ambush( when stalking, they stay under cover, their stripes being effective camouflage). They attack from the side or from the rear, seizing prey by the shoulders, back or neck. For larger prey, a throat bite is used causing strangulation. Only one in 10-20 tries to catch major prey is successful. Strong, curved canines serve as daggers, the tiger’s most important weapon. Their only enemies are humans. Their life expectancy is approximately 15 years in the wild and up to 20 years in captivity.(this information was found on the Brandywine Zoo website)

From Garrett's Table:
"Jacquie helped me concoct this tart that combines three of my favorite flavors: cranberry, orange, and ginger. The crust is an orange páte sucre made with plenty of fresh orange zest. The tart crust is filled first with a mixture of fresh ginger and sweetened cream cheese. Dried cranberries that have been rehydrated in orange juice top the cream cheese. Finally, it’s finished with whipped orange fluff and a piece of candied ginger. It’s a refreshing way to end a meal and great with a cup of coffee. This is a subscriber only recipe!

Use and purpose of alkaline water:
Alkaline water, also known as “gan sui” in Cantonese and “air abu” in Malay, is a clear solution of the salts sodium carbonate and potassium carbonate, and sometimes sodium phosphate.
Because it is often called “lye” water, it is frequently confused with lye or caustic soda, which is sodium hydroxide, a much harsher chemical that has limited culinary applications in the West.
In the Asian kitchen, alkaline water has few and specific uses. The characteristic springiness of Hong Kong style “mee” noodle is due to “gan sui”, which is added to noodle dough to firm up its texture, and give it a yellow tint.
It does the same for glutinous rice in “kee chang” (yellow alkaline glutinous rice dumplings) and in their Malay cousin, “kuih lopes”.
Steamed rice-flour dough, for example, in Nyonya “kuih kosui” and “ang koo kuih” skin, can also be given a firmer consistency by carefully measured amounts of alkaline water.
Dried cuttlefish or squid are sometimes briefly soaked in “gan sui” for the opposite effect - it makes them more tender when rehydrated.
As Asians do not fancy the slightly sour, acidic flavour of slowly fermented bread dough so beloved in the West, dim sum chefs add alkaline water to buns “pau” dough to neutralise any yeasty, sour overtones.
Alkaline water is sometimes used as a rising agent in the same way that baking soda is. For instance, it is stirred into “ma lai kou” batter, where it reacts with acids in the brown sugar to produce bubbles that yield a light, fluffy steamed cake.

Hibiscus flowers also known as roselle are ideal for brewing hibiscus tea, a smooth, relaxing, naturally caffeine-free drink with a fragrant aroma and a tangy, cranberry-like flavor. Gaze into your teacup and you'll see rehydrated hibiscus flowers serenely floating in the deep magenta-colored tea. Hot hibiscus tea is soothing in the winter, while iced hibiscus tea delivers a cool kick in the summer. Hibiscus is the main ingredient of "Fruit Teas". Though it's not a fruit at all, it gives all those fruit teas their fruit taste, while the fruit actually do not manage to do just that, having mainly ornamental functions in such "tea". www.viconyteas.com/herbal-tea/roselle-hibiscus-flower.html

I scarified them in boiling water and let them steep for 24 hours. They still weren't entirely rehydrated so I used a small pocketknife to score the seed coat at the other end from the rooting end. Then I put them in very warm water for another 24 hours. I put them in a wet paper towel on a plastic plate for a while, keeping them hydrated. They still weren't doing much (although they were plumper) so I then exposed them to bottom heat. Some seeds chitted not long after I did that. I then tried to sterilize some potting soil and put them in a seedling tray with bottom heat. I'd say I had them hydrating either in full or partial water for at least 3 days before bottom heat was applied.

I was part of a tag team that transported this rescued pup from Machias to Portland (where the rehab center is). So I am not sure what the circumstances of her rescue was. When I first arrived she was sound asleep in the University of Maine Machias' biology teacher's lab class. She had been rehydrated and looked very healthy.... the students were taking a test... wonder if any of them passed, they kept jumping up to look at her.
Even so... was sleeping or now and then sucking on her tail.

Schizophyllum commune, the split gill fungus, perhaps the world's most widespread fungus-- and possessor of over 28,000 different sexes
It is probably the most widespread fungus in existence, being found on every continent except Antarctica, where there is no wood to be used as a substrate.

The gills function to produce basidiospores on their surface. They appear to be split because they can dry out and rehydrate (and thus open and close) many times over the course of a growing season.
This is a great adaptation for a climate with sporadic rains. Unlike other mushroom species, the mycelium only has to produce one set of fruiting bodies per year, which can then dry out and rehydrate and keep functioning. It's a great strategy for reproduction. You can probably even go out in the dead of winter and find sporulating fruiting bodies of this fungus. It's a very successful wood decay fungus that causes a white rot. Interestingly, this fungus has also been known to cause a human mycosis in just a few cases involving immunoincompetent people, especially children. In one case, the fungus had grown through the soft palate of a child's mouth and was actually forming fruiting bodies (mushrooms) in her sinuses!!!
Schizophyllum commune is a very common species of mushroom in the genus Schizophyllum. It is the world's most widely distributed mushroom, occurring on every continent except Antarctica.
Although European and US guidebooks list it as inedible, this is apparently due to differing standards of taste rather than known toxicity, being regarded with little culinary interest due to its tough texture. S. commune is, in fact, edible and widely consumed in Mexico and elsewhere in the tropics.
The gills, which produce basidiospores on their surface split when the mushroom dries out, earning this mushroom the common name Split Gill. It has more than 28,000 sexes.
The cap is shell-shaped, with the tissue concentrated at the point of attachment, resembling a stem. It is often wavy and lobed, with a rigid margin when old. It is tough, felty and hairy, and slippery when moist. It is greyish white and up to 4 cm in diameter. The gills are pale reddish or grey, very narrow with a longitudinal split edge which becomes inrolled when wet; the only knows fungus with spit gills that are capable of retracting by movement. It is found predominantly from autumn to spring on dead wood, in coniferous and deciduous forest.
Schizophyllum commune, the split gill fungus, perhaps the world's most widespread fungus-- and possessor of over 28,000 different sexes
It is probably the most widespread fungus in existence, being found on every continent except Antarctica, where there is no wood to be used as a substrate.
