Rarest Twenty Cent Coin: an 1876-CC
by Greg Reynolds for CoinLink
On Wednesday, Oct. 17, a Choice Uncirculated 1876-CC Twenty Cent piece will be offered by Stack's in New York City. It is graded "MS-64" by the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS). As of 01:30 AM on Tuesday, Internet bidding already pushed the price over $200,000. A large variety of U.S. coins and many other numismatic items are included in this auction event.
This 1876 Carson City (NV) issue is an attractive coin, and is moderately brilliant. Its reverse (back) is very attractive and features a cool, very frosty eagle that glows in vivid contrast to gray-silver fields. There are a few hairlines and small contact marks here and there, but these are not particularly distracting. As on all 1876-CC Twenty Cent pieces, the letters in LIBERTY are doubled. Other design elements are doubled as well.
Twenty Cent coins were only minted for circulation for two years, in 1875 and '76. People confused them with quarters, and generally found them to be annoying. The silver mining industry, directly and indirectly, had influenced several members of Congress to sponsor legislation mandating a Twenty Cent coin.
Twenty Cent pieces have been favorites with collectors for a very long time. Even in the 19th century, collectors demanded them. For two additional years, in 1877 and '78, Proof Twenty Cent pieces were specially made, many of which were sold directly to collectors by the Philadelphia Mint.
Estimates vary widely regarding the number of 1876-CC Twenty Cent pieces in existence. As it is very likely that there are fewer than twenty-five are known, it can be concluded that it is a Great Rarity. For a definition of a Great Rarity, please see my CoinLink articles on 1841 Quarter Eagles or 1856-O Double Eagles, and my relevant discussion of the concept of rarity in my article on 1888 $3 gold coins.
In the 1980s and 1990s, quite a few 1876-CC Twenty Cent pieces were auctioned. The James A. Stack 1876-CC was auctioned by Stack's in March 1995. A West Coast dealer was the successful bidder, at $99,000. It has mellow light russet and green toning, with touches of blue. After the auction, it was PCGS graded "MS-65." James A. Stack Sr., who is not related to the family that founded the coin auction firm, bought this coin from Mehl's mail bid sale of the very famous William Atwater collection.
Two of the finest known 1876-CC Twenty Cent pieces were sold by Bowers & Merena (NH) in the 1980s, the Emery-Nichols and Norweb pieces. Unfortunately, I have not seen either of them. My understanding is that, by 1988, both had been graded MS-65 by the Numismatic Guaranty Corp (NGC). Many silver coins that were graded MS-65 in 1987 or 1988 have since been graded MS-66 or -67. As the PCGS has, along the way, graded two as MS-66, could these be the two?
The Norweb coin has (or had) attractive medium toning, while the Emery-Nichols 1876-CC is (or was) naturally bright, or so I have been told. In 1988, Andy Lustig owned them both. A few years later, Jay Parrino owned them both. My guess is that the PCGS graded MS-66 1876-CC that Parrino advertised in 1995 is the Norweb piece.
Now, the PCGS registry listing of the "Driftwood Collection" includes an 1876-CC that is said by the owner to be the Norweb coin. This listing is not accompanied by images. I have no reason to doubt that the Driftwood 1876-CC and the Norweb 1876-CC are the same. Could the NGC graded MS-66 piece that Heritage auctioned in October 2001 also be the Norweb-Driftwood 1876-CC?
In March 2001, Superior offered at auction an NGC graded MS-66 1876-CC that reportedly sold for $161,000. Coin markets were very weak at the time. The Superior cataloguer identified it as the Emery-Nichols 1876-CC. The serial number on the NGC holder was 700000-001. The evidence that I have collected so far suggests that the Emery-Nichols 1876-CC was auctioned by B&M in Nov. 1984, was owned by Lustig in 1988, was owned by Parrino in the mid-1990s, and was offered by Superior in 2001 (and maybe in 2003 as well?).
From all the hearsay that has come to my ears over the years regarding the quality of particular 1876-CC Twenty Cent pieces, it seems very plausible that the Emery-Nichols and Norweb pieces are the two that are PCGS graded MS-66. It is also possible that someone at NGC made a clerical error, and the Emery-Nichols piece is still in an NGC 'MS-66′ holder, but not included in the NGC census.
Other 1876-CC Twenty Cent pieces have 'entered the marketplace' in recent years. In March 2002, Stack's auctioned an uncertified 1876-CC. It was sold privately in 2003 by the firm of David Lawrence (DLRC), after it had been NGC graded MS-65. Later, it was graded MS-65 by PCGS. Within the last thirty days, DLRC sold it again. It is said to have been earlier in the famous F.C.C. Boyd, Edwin Hydeman and Reed Hawn collections.
If I had seen the Emery-Nichols and Norweb pieces, I would probably be writing about them in more definitive terms. After I gather more information from experts who have seen these and have attended some of the pertinent auctions that I missed, I hope to put together a clear roster incorporating condition rankings and pedigrees. I would then include my comments regarding the Eliasberg 1876-CC and a couple of others that I saw long ago.
In recent years, the nicest 1876-CC that I have seen is the Neil-Richmond coin. It is a really appealing Twenty Cent piece that has been overlooked collectors, researchers and other coin enthusiasts.
This 1876-CC was auctioned by DLRC in the Richmond III sale on March 7, 2005. It is (or then was) NGC graded MS-64, and its grade is certainly at least in the high end of the MS-64 range. It has medium to deep, natural toning, though it is not too dark. It features a neat, dusky, purplish-steel tone. Several of the design elements, including Miss Liberty, are outlined in green. There is a pleasant, rich green tone about the numerals and covering much of the reverse (back) outer fields.
The Neil-Richmond 1876-CC has very few marks, all of which are minor, and has a small number of faint hairlines, especially in the upper reverse inner field. Many collectors would not even notice these imperfections.
Overall, the Richmond 1876-CC is very attractive with a soothing, balanced blend of natural tones. It was earlier in the famous Neil collection that B. Max Mehl sold, with some fanfare, in 1947. In 2005, it sold for $158,125. John Hammrick was the successful bidder. He was acting on behalf of a Southern collector.
Buyers for 1876-CC 20 cent pieces are usually either looking to complete a set or wish to enjoy owning a special rarity and view it as an entity that stands on its own. A set of business strike Twenty Cent pieces requires only five coins: 1875, 1875-CC, 1875-S, 1876, and 1876-CC. Before 1942, the absence of a mintmark almost always indicated that a coin was struck at the main branch in Philadelphia. There are a large number of collectors who have the other five dates, and need only an 1876-CC to complete their respective sets.
There is no doubt that the 1876-CC Twenty Cent piece is legendary and attracts more attention than some other Great Rarities, such as 1829 $5 gold coins. Many adult coin collectors started as kids, and kids tend to acquire at least one Twenty Cent piece, as this 'strange' denomination is so curious. Further, kids tend to dream about owning an 1876-CC. It is common for wealthy adult collectors to acquire rarities that they dreamed about when they were kids. Moreover, thousands of coin collectors get started as adults and are intrigued by Twenty Cent pieces. Most beginning collectors learn fast that the 1876-CC is a Great Rarity and is the key to whole twenty cent denomination.

Please be very careful. A friend recommend this cabinet man and the cabinet man had a store in North Attleboro, Ma. He cashed my checks and then, his store was closed because he didn't pay his taxes. Now, I had to get a another set of cabinets, granite, and a sink.....$10,000. I am thinking of hiring an attorney. The police are involved too. They are thinking that it is a criminal case. What would you do? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Two things - the first is get the police to run, not walk, after the guy - he's a crook and stole your money, plain and simple. The second would be to never, ever, ever again fork over all your money to anyone without at least some (half?) of the job being done - it's one thing for a contractor to say he needs some money up front to pay for materials, that's standard, but even then you don't pay the rest til the job's done (another way to keep him from leaving town before it's done). |
- Posted by bdpeck-charlotte (My Page) on Fri, Jun 27, 08 at 7:38
Call the Attorney General's Office. They can help direct you to Victim Recovery Funds to try and recoup some of your losses. Was there a contractor licensing board that licensed him? I assume he had a business license? Follow up with any organization that certified this business. |

I'd encourage you to post this question in the Building a Home and/or Remodeling forums here as well. You'll probably find (sadly) someone who's dealt with an unscrupulous contractor. I do hope you see your $ again, but if his store was closed for not paying taxes, that was a process that took a long time to arrive at, so this guy has probably been in trouble for some time. One would hope he would still have your money on hand and could return it (with a legal push), but if he wasn't paying taxes on his storefront, it sounds like there were deep debt/financial issues and/or extreme mismanagement of funds on his part. Just an aside, I interpreted differently than lucy. Agree never pay the entire job at once, and any good contractor will split the payment up throughout the course of the job and upon completion. But there's no indication the entire contract amount was paid up front. The $10k sounds like it was for materials only. Easy to arrive at or exceed that figure on a nice quality>high end kitchen. Not really relevant at the end of the day tho, $10k is a huge chunk of change. Hope it all works out! |
Note: I work in the banking industry, so I see too much crap where people get ripped off... Reason #1 as to why I use a credit card for things yet to be delivered if at all possible:(...I've personally seen too many people get nailed...How could you possibly have known about something like this? There's no guarding against it. How long ago were the checks cashed? If you can find a problem with the endorsement (missing, signed by his secretary instead of him...), endorsements are contestable for 2 years, if I recall correctly. It's a long shot, but worth a look. Might be a moot point if his accounts have been closed... If you have any items that have been cashed in the last couple of days, your bank/credit union may still be able to return the item if they haven't released funds to his bank yet. You should talk to them in any case to see if they can do anything for you, if you're not already. Good luck! Jim |
Don't trust your friend's recommendations... |
We lost over $10,000 to a contractor - prepaid (this was a deposit) like you & then he went out of business. In our case, the state Atty General filed a suit against him on behalf of the dozens of people who were out their money. It turned out he wasn't a crook, just really stupi in his business practices & in over his head. The Atty General recovered a small amount from his busiess bancruptcy & we got our share, which was $900. It took over 3 years - we didn't have to go to court or anything but for 3 years we had a lot of phone calls, letters, and hassel. So be prepared for this to drag out a L-O-N-G time and to only get a small percentage back. If a business is bankrupt, you can't get money where there isn't any. In our case, it wasn't that the contractor was living in luxury while swindling people - just the opposite, he host everything (house, vehicles, business assets). |
"He cashed my checks and then, his store was closed because he didn't pay his taxes." Could you be a bit more specific, please? |

Our backyard has been a disaster for quite a while now. We need an area for grass so we've reserved the middle for this. The concrete pathway has been there for so many years, we just don't want to spend the money to take it out and do something else. So we are thinking of putting pavers on top of the concrete, the entire length of the path.
I have posted a photo of our current yard and our dream yard of the future here at this link: http://www.PictureTrail.com/gid13727836 We would like to put a variety of tropical plants - palm trees, banana trees, birds of paradise, ginger and shrubs. But, we don't know if we've chosen too many plants or not enough, too small, wrong proportions, etc. We are working with a tropical plant specialist to help determine which plants and trees are best for our zone, but we are lacking in creating the overall aesthetic. If anybody has an opinion or advice on how we could reorganize our backyard to create a tropical paradise, we are all ears! Thanks for looking. |

Hi Ginger. Okay, this may sound a bit harsh, but it isnt a good sign that you "arent willing to spend the money". You CAN create your dream, but loosen the wallet a bit, cause its not going to be cheap. Realize that about 1/3 of what you plant probably wont make it a year, then you will get an idea as to how much it will cost for plants alone. Add in cost of soil and irrigation, and then make a budget. Start acquiring plants early, and get them used to their new location and you will have greater success. Beyond that, read a lot and get ready to spend some time on the thing, then you can create what you envision. DD |

Your dream yard looks doable. In fact it looks like my neighbors yard except they have a pool where your grass is. DD has the right idea about slowly buying your plants and letting them get accustomed to your microclimate. You can buy smaller (cheaper) plants and give them time to grow before planting. I've been buying plants for the past 3 years and I'm at the point of running out of room so I'd better start to plant these babies. |
One thing you can do, plant things that grow fast.Bananas and cannas come quickly to mind in your zone, especially bananas and cannas with fancy leaves like zebrina banana, and tropicana, or pretoria canna, or any of the red leaved varieties. And space them a little further apart. Fill in the gaps with cheap annuals for a few years. A crepe myrtle might be a good plant to take up some room/provide some bloom. Daturas and brugmansias are pretty cheap too. I'd recommend some of the amaranth family plants. They will reseed themselves, some of them are red and tall,some are tricolored, some like the "love lies bleeding" have nice dangly hanging ropey tassels, and they will all fill in quickly. Another good one is the perilla frutescens. This is another one you can grow from seed (it will take over, though!) and it will provide a good deep purple color.It can take sun but looks like a tall dark purple coleus, up to 36" tall.cut and paste this link in your browser. The perilla is behind the waterfall, and it's not full height yet in this picture. http://image52.webshots.com/152/1/58/78/458715878kaYgLt_fs.jpg The amaranth is the large red plant in the left center of the other url picture below. I planted it a few years ago, it drops seed and comes back and you can transplant it and thin them out so that they aren't so crowded. Sandy |

- Posted by fescuedream 7 (My Page) on Sun, Dec 10, 06 at 2:10
I agree with Sandy. She seems to have a good aesthetic sense... Unless you actually want the formal garden look in which case you may want to consider plants traditionally used such as boxwoods. What I'd add to Sandy's comments: You may want to ease the rather stark transition between the concrete path and the far planting with a row of uniform groundcover like Liriope or Monkey Grass. This will help unify the whole and mitigate the "hodgepodge" appearance. Also, consider the concept of recurring themes: If you have, say, a Pheonix Roby Palm flanked by orchids in a certain pattern, consider doing it at two opposite corners. The challenge before you is that your layout is not formal/symetrical (by far the easiest landscapes to design), so you need to overarch the chaos of jungle with some order, yet not stiff order. This is where professional landscape designers earn their $$$. |
You can't really be too overgrown with this theme. Take a look at the real rainforests and jungles; that's the way they are. You'll need to vary the form, using palm trees to mix it up, lots of big leaf plants, and different textures. Bamboo really adds to the effect, but do your homework before planting. |

Carnegie Classification Application Support
The Campus Compact network is pleased to provide a variety of learning resources to its members for the Carnegie Classification application process. In order to assure that our members are aware of these resources, we have created a menu of options.
More information is available on the national Campus Compact website.
Carnegie Classification Community
The application process for the Carnegie Classification on Community Engagement can be hard work, but you don't have to go through it alone. Through the Campus Compact Carnegie Classification Community, you can connect with experienced practitioners, guest experts, and your peers around your efforts.
This virtual learning community offers a place to ask questions, discuss challenges, give suggestions and advice, and receive valuable support from your colleagues across the Campus Compact network. This is a resource for Campus Compact members only.
For more information, including registration information, see http://carnegieforum.compact.org/.
The Engaged Campus: Preparing for 2015
The first of five webinars in Campus Compact's Engaged Campus Series was facilitated by John Saltmarsh, Bob Bringle, and Gail Robinson. It provided detailed overview of the evolving criteria to be found in the 2015 application.
Click to download the detailed notes from the webinar.
Here is a snapshot:
Data from 2006–2010:
- 311 classified institutions: 173 public / 138 private
- 75% of 2010 completed applicants received award: 2% Community Colleges / 35% Research Universities
- The 2015 full application will be available September 2013 / Application due April 2014 / Campuses notified December 2014
For 2015:
- In order to be successful, campuses need to be in a position to answer 'yes' to foundational indicators A and B (A. Institutional Identity and Culture B. Institutional Commitment )
- All 2015 classified institutions must achieve both curricular engagement AND outreach and partnerships
- Applicants need to show progress on systematic campus-wide tracking or documentation mechanisms to record and/or track engagement with the community and must demonstrate how the data is shared with the public AND how assessment is aligned with institutional priorities
- Applicants need to show community engagement defined and planned for in the strategic plans of the institution and must show an emphasis on community voice and reciprocity impacting on strategic plan
Other 2015 changes–main application:
- Do the institutional policies for promotion and tenure reward the scholarship of community engagement? (not found in supplemental anymore and weighted more heavily)
- 'Curricular structures' will need to be evident in main application – examples given were SL minors and certificates
- Diversity issues in supplemental – CE connected with diversity, inclusiveness, and retention
Weakest areas found in Carnegie classified institutions:
- Assessment – tracking / use / shared / for example, the number of service learning courses in target areas, aligned with strategic plan, reflecting breadth of majors and level of education (FYE/senior capstone)
- Reciprocity – impact on institutional strategic plan
- Partnerships – greater evidence of partnership nature being participatory, just, inclusive
- Faculty rewards – Teaching, research, service – changes must be deeper and more pervasive

Powerpoint Presentations on the Carnegie Classification
- Understanding the Context of Engaged Scholarship is a PowerPoint presentation you can download from the 2011 ERCC Conference by Professors Dwight Giles and John Saltmarsh. It includes an overview of the classification system, clarification of engaged scholarship, lessons learned from classification processes between 2006 and 2010, information on institutional change, and a preview of the 2015 classification process.
- Being an Engaged Institution and the 2015 Carnegie Application is a PowerPoint presentation you can download from Professor Dwight Giles' February 2012 visit to The New York Campus Compact Roundtable. It focuses more tightly on the 2015 classification process.
- Community Engagement and Professional Advancement through Engaged Scholarship, also by Professor Dwight Giles, is a PowerPoint presentation you can download and includes comprehensive exploration of the notion of engaged scholarship, quality evaluation criteria, documentation, and the most recent research on how institutional incentives and culture affect engagement. Importantly, the presentation also includes strategies, models, resources, and challenges from engaged institutions.

Hilton of RV Parks
The same guy who helped to bring the NBA to Memphis is now driven to shake up the RV Park and campground industry with his fledgling enterprise, RVC Outdoor Destinations.
Andy Cates is eager to show RV owners and outdoor enthusiasts how different Catherine's Landing, one of RVC's five upscale developments, is from typical RV parks and campgrounds, reports Memphis Commercial Appeal.
Three-month-old Catherine's Landing is nestled on 400 acres of a former dairy farm along the banks of Lake Catherine near Hot Springs, Arkansas.
The entrance is a long, gently curving ribbon of asphalt that eventually reveals the modern and striking welcome center/headquarters lodge, a stone, metal, and glass building, perched on a rise overlooking the campground and Lake Catherine.
Cates refuses to label his developments as RV parks, calling them "outdoor destinations" instead. He claims to have invented a new category for the industry, one that offers consistently beautiful natural spaces, upscale amenities, and fine-tuned customer service.
RVC clamors for the kind of "segmentation" in the RV park industry that hotels enjoy. Hotel travelers instantly know from seeing the signs for a Motel 6, Hampton Inn, or Hilton what to expect from each in service, amenities, and price.
RVC considers itself the Hilton of RV parks.
In addition to the KOAs, Jellystones, and the independent campgrounds, RVC seeks to distinguish itself from public campgrounds, also.
"A lot of state and federal parks have incredibly attractive outdoor environments, but an underwhelming service culture and operating culture," 41-year-old Cates says.
The lodge has a store, wine and coffee, large fireplace with a flat-screen TV, washers and dryers, a fitness room, and even a "Wii-dia room" where families can play Wii video games on a large screen.
RVC doesn't just provide Wi-Fi and coffee, he says. "We offer good Wi-Fi and good coffee."
Planted among the 120 concrete RV pads ($40 to $45 daily weekdays, $42 to $50 weekends) are young oak, elm, and pine trees. The new grass turf has not yet been established.
A row of 25 RV sites line the bank of calm Lake Catherine. Construction of Remmel Dam turned a river into an 11-mile-long lake in 1924.
At Catherine's Landing is a 13-slip dock, where pontoon boats and kayaks are available to rent.
Catherine's Landing doesn't accommodate tent campers, but does offer high-end camping—glamping—with five air-conditioned yurts ($50-$70 a night) clustered under a canopy of towering trees.
Atop the hill behind the welcome lodge sits 10 small cottages ($140 to $160 a night) that can sleep four people within their 400 square feet.
In future phases, RVC plans to sell the cottages and lease the ground they sit on.
Both the corporate and independent owners of other campgrounds might acknowledge how nice their new competition is, but question the business model.
After all, they're receiving roughly the same per-unit revenue without nearly the costs RVC has born.
"On a per-unit basis, we're way out there and we know that," Cates says.
"If the consumer does not reward us, we're in trouble." RVC must enlarge its scale exponentially, creating a network of many dozens of outdoor destinations across the nation, he says. "We're not doing this for just six properties."
Eventually RVC may raise prices to befit its amenities, but for now the company is sharply focused on getting more and more guests.
RVC Outdoor Destinations
Located within beautiful, natural environments, RVC Outdoor Destinations feature services and amenities expected from upscale hotels, all located within minutes of great activities and attractions unique to each property.
Catherine's Landing, an RVC Outdoor Destination, near Hot Springs, Arkansas.
Pine Mountain, near Callaway Gardens, Georgia, is a former KOA and independently owned campground renovated by RVC with 189 RV pads, six yurts, and two cottages. Opened in 2007.
Carrabelle Beach, on Florida's Forgotten Coast, about an hour from Tallahassee with 80 RV pads, four cottages, and boat club. Opened in 2010.
Live Oak Landing, near Destin, Florida, on peninsula in Choctawhatchee Bay with 110 RV sites and 14 cottages. Opened in 2010.
Mountain Springs, 10 minutes west of Asheville, North Carolina featuring 13 log cabins. Plans are to build a full RVC outdoor destination with RV sites.
Worth Pondering…
This is not another place.
It is THE place.

I recently was given a Troy Bilt model 47261 (1992?) 5 hp chipper vac that was manufactured in Troy NY by Garden Way. I need the owners manual for this machine if anybody out there has one. A seller on E-bay has manuals for 5hp machines made in 1993 and 1994, but not my specific model.
Does anyone know if those model years are similar to my 1992, in other words, would one of those manuals be useful to me? Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
you can download one from here but you need your serial number |
Here is a link that might be useful: link
I have all the original Troy Bilt chipper vac Pro model owners manuals. You would have to pay for copies to be made. They charge 25 cents a printed page at the library They are around 60 pages with parts list Contact me with your model number. I will get back to you with how many pages and postage. Fred |
Gary, Did you ever find a manual for your Chipper Vac? Where? How about a sourse for parts? I just bought a used Chipper Vac-Very good condition for being 17 years old! Sad to find out that Troy Bilt (Garden Way) no longer around. Good tough equipment! |
I may be of some help to you. I recently purchased a 5HP model myself. It was LIKE NEW. I changed the oil, put in a high performance spark plug, fresh gas, hosed it off, and it literally looks and runs like NEW. It turned out that mine was a model 47282. I emailed Troy-Bilt about obtaining a owners manual for this model. They explained that for a while prior to the bankruptcy of Troy-Bilt, Garden Way mfg. made the chipper vacs. MTD took over the assets of Troy-Bilt but did not pick up those assets from Garden Way. I was told that Murray had picked up those assets. That explains why when you try to find a manual on Troy-Bilt web page or MTD web page with a valid model number and serial number, it is unable to find anything for this series of model numbers.. I was successful in one regard, I found a man that had an owners manual for 5HP chipper vacs (similar vintage) on EBAY. The particular model numbers covered in his offering was 47276,47279,47280 and 47281. Mine is a 47282 so it is most likely very close. I will be quite happy to find a manual that is close at least. There still are parts available for this machine and I am quite happy to have mine. When I get the manual, I will scan it into a pdf to share it with others who I know are looking for manuals of this vintage. Replyt to this url in about a week and I should have PDF copies available. Bill |
There are two people who can provide owners manuals for the Troy-Bilt 47282. They are Doug Squires [firstname.lastname@example.com] and FRED [firstname.lastname@example.com] Doug says "My manuals cover models 47278, -80, -82, -83. The Owner/Operator Manual is 50 pages. The Parts Catalog is 16 pages. I'm willing by electronic media (PDF): 1. To provide the part numbers from my catalog that best match your description of the part. I'm assuming you understand the parts may not be available. 2. To provide a good b&w scanned copy of the Parts Catalog for $7.50. 3. To provide a good b&w (the original front & rear covers are black, gray, red & white) scanned copy of the Owner/Operator Manual for $15. 4. To provide a good b&w scanned copy of the chipper's engine -Tecumseh Owners Manual (6 pages) for $3.00. 5. To provide a good b&w scanned copy of the parts sheets on the Vacuum Snout Attachment, Vacuum Inlet Cap Attachment & Safety Interlock Lanyard Replacement Kit. Another 5 pages for $3.00. 6. Sell all the originals...maybe. However the binding staples would be removed & the pages will be slit into separate sheets (to get the scanned versions). They all are in very good condition. If you are interested let me know & we can work out the payment. I have a Paypal account. I'll also take a check & send the documents when it clears. Regards, Doug" FRED says: "Please feel free to provide my contact information with anyone that you would like to share it with. I also have manuals for other models of Troy Bilt chipper vac 47291 47292 47286 47287 47282 47281 47280 47279 47278 and parts Bill |

The Rebels knocked off Sharkey-Issaquena Academy 11-0 in six innings Tuesday, behind a shutout by junior hurler Payton Neal.
"Payton [Neal] came in and did a solid job for us," head coach Neil Turner said. "That's exactly what we needed."
Neal also went 4-4 at the plate, and Colby Harper had a stellar performance with two RBIs. Turner said Jordan Bell also had a great game.
The Rebels are currently 3-7 on the season, and Turner said the Rebels are coming along at the right time, with only a few district games remaining.
"Knock wood, everybody is healthy," Turner said. "We're sitting in good shape right now. The pitching is coming right along, and we're getting better at-bats."
The Rebels play host to SIA Thursday before finishing out district play against Central Holmes next week and preseason number one Benton.

A comment on this blog asked for more pictures on candling cocoons.
Just today I candled 4000 cocoons. It seems like an awful lot, but when they are in petri dishes it is easy to do candle them- about 30 mins or so. I did see some duds that are of some interest. I call anything that is not a fully developed bee a 'dud'. The percent 'duds' in this batch was 2.5%. Anything under 5% is excellent. But even with 107 duds there are some interesting ones. Few had fully developed parasitic wasps- ready to emerge in spring. Others were bee larvae that had not completed development into an adult. In the next day or so I will take some photos and put them on this blog.
I was teaching a group of people about candling the other day. It is a straight forward procedure but the conditions have to be right. The room that you do the candling in has to be completely dark- a bathroom without a window for example. Any extra light besides the flashlight is too much light and you cannot candle the cocoons.
Frank mentioned removing mites with a 'large stainless steel colander'. The best colander is not just any colander. More about this later, but first, lets back up a little and I will explain my rationale for removing mites.
Getting rid or removing ALL mites from cocoons is difficult. I think the main aim is to remove the majority of mites, so that mason bees have a better chance of producing healthy offspring. Even if all mites are removed from harvested cocoons, there will be the occasional mite covered wild bee that arrives from within the local wood. These mites are spread successfully ensuring mites are always around. The best that anyone can do is to remove the majority of mites from harvested cocoons. This give mason bees a better chance in producing healthy offspring rather then mites.
Washing with water, removes adhering frass and the majority of loose mites. After washing, there are still lots of mites in amongst the threads of the cocoon.
These mites are best removed by friction. I have found the most successful way to remove these mites is to gently roll them over a METAL window screen stapled to a frame. Another way is to gently roll them around colander with a metal screen (NOT PLASTIC, NOT STAINLESS). Plastic and stainless steel do not have the abrasive quality of metal screen.
This can be done in two stages. First wash with the appropriate colander under and in running water. Second, when cocoons are dry, roll them over another screen to get the remaining mites off.
Washing with water, removes all frass and most mites. The removal of frass is an important part of the cleaning process because it allows cocoons to be candled. Successful candling can only be done with clean cocoons. I want to make sure that cocoons parasitized with little wasps don't end up in the cocoons that I sell or place out for production.
This is a great link to view coloured photos of mason bees pests.
Mites are pests for mason bees. Bees carry them from their old nest to their new nests, and then mites compete for food with the young developing bees. Mostly, if mites get into a cell with a developing bee and its pollen lump, mites will be the end result- not a bee.
Because mites on the surface of cocoons are waiting to be transported to a new nest by the emerging bee, it is imperative to get rid of most, if not all surface mites. Washing will remove the majority or mites. Rolling cocoons over a metal screen will remove the majority of the remaining mites.
Further reading on mite control ______________
A great DVD on How to _________________
Here are a few pictures of
Mites are transported by bees from the old nest to the new.
This is the time when parasitic wasps can produce another generation every week. During the summer months, when temperatures are higher than in spring and fall, these pesky little critters come out of the nest and search for new mason bee cocoons to parasitize. I don't know how, but these tiny adult wasps can make a tiny pin hole in the tube and crawl out and parasitize more bees.
Every July, when most bee eggs have turned into adult bees inside their cocoons, I gather all nests, set them under a veranda- where the ambient temperature is still warm. I place two Highrises per net-bag (see wasp proof bags on my web site beediverse.com). They sit stacked against the wall of my home until the end of September when harvesting takes place.
I find that net bags are successful and keep out wasp parasites. Percent parasitism is usually not more than 5%. If you have had trouble with these parasites, you will be pleasantly surprised with the outcome.

The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

2011 ODP Regional Camp
Iowa Girls the far red in the letter "P"
Chloee Kooker: "I was really excited when I made the A pool team, the soccer was intense. Even though it was challenging, I always felt comfortable playing with the A pool group. I think the way we practice at Rush practices helped me be ready for the ODP practices."
Rylee Tilton: "ODP was an amazing experience. To be selected to the ODP state and regional team was really exciting. The level of competition got better and better. It was a true honor to be selected to be a part of the pool team and play with really talented players from all over the Midwest. I was so excited when I heard that Chloee and I were selected to the pool and am so thankful we have the technical and tactical skills to play with players at that level. We also had fun watching the World Cup, trading t-shirts and getting to know players from all over the region on our World Cup teams."
Maggie Boelman: "State Camp for ODP was held in Lamoni, Iowa, and Regional Camp was held in Dekalb, Illinois. I had the privilege to attend both camps. At State Camp I trained with some of the best players and coaches in the state. I was fortunate enough to move onto Regional Camp and train with some of the best coaches and players in Region two. The thing that stands out about Regional Camp is competitive player pools. My training from the player pools allowed me to train with the best players and coaches from my region which forced me to step up my game. I'm looking forward to the opportunities that ODP will provide for me, and the skills that I will take with me."
Meg Brandt: "This year I attended ODP Regional camp in DeKalb, IL for the first time. At camp I was able to see the skill level of other very good players from different states. It was a lot of soccer and an opportunity to talk to new coaches. Each day we played games against other states and had training. Pool play begins the second day. Players are chosen from each state according to ability by the coaches. When placed in a pool you practice with that team. It was a lot of really good soccer!"

New Devices and Methods for Detecting Skin Cancer
Posted: November 14, 2008
page 2 of 4
Another exciting technology dermatologists are using to evaluate suspected skin cancers is a hand-held light device known as dermascopy that can look at the pigment of the skin through specialized filters that magnify and polarize lesions. For example, similar to how filters are used on cameras to create certain backgrounds, filters are used on this device to enhance certain features of lesions - such as brown or red background colors that could indicate a melanoma (the deadliest form of skin cancer).
Marmur noted that one of the main benefits of dermascopy is the ability to immediately evaluate a potential melanoma based on its magnified characteristics, which could help decrease the number of biopsies needed to make an accurate diagnosis, or can push the physician to biopsy a borderline lesion that appears more suspicious with the assistance of the dermatoscope.
In addition, newer computer systems are being used in conjunction with hand-held photography devices to more accurately diagnose melanomas. For example, the photo device takes a digital picture of the suspicious lesion, which is then magnified on the computer screen for closer examination. The computer system also contains a database of characteristics of approximately 100,000 evolving melanomas, which the lesions are then graded against to see if certain features score high enough on the scale to warrant having a biopsy.
"With the improvement of early detection methods, we are finding an increasing number of smaller skin cancers," said Marmur. "We know from experience that detecting skin cancer in its earliest stage means better cure rates and survival rates. Prognosis plummets as the depth of melanoma increases even by the smallest increment of one millimeter."
New self-exam tools
Since skin cancer is the only cancer you can see on the surface of your skin at its earliest stage, performing regular skin self-examinations is an easy way to detect any suspicious spots that could be cancerous. To enhance a patient's ability to detect the warning signs of skin cancer, the Academy is refining the ABCDs of melanoma detection by adding an "E." The letter "E" stands for Evolving - a mole or skin lesion that looks different from the rest or is changing in size, shape or color. This is in addition to other qualities of moles for which individuals should check their skin - Asymmetry (one half unlike the other half), Border (irregular, scalloped or poorly defined), Color (varies from one area to another; shades of tan and brown, black; sometimes white, red or blue), and Diameter (the size of a pencil eraser or larger). If a mole exhibits any of these characteristics, it should be brought to a dermatologist's attention.

I've been testing some and so far I came up with Chief being the nicest in flavor, very fruity and lovely to eat out of hand. Heaving said this, I'm not so sure if I got Chief as the right name cultivar from Baughen, another from them is Latham,...according to other websites this should be a later ripening variety, actually it ripened earlier with tiny fruits of the size of wild raspberries. I swear, not getting anything from them no more, ..been heaving other mix ups and nothing they would do about, actually, they were saying that I haven't bought from them until I sent the receipt,..they would just ignore it. The biggest disappointment was the purple Royalty, not heaving much flavor,..kind of blah. Souris is another one which I have for over 20 years,...found out when planting new one's, still pleased with this one. |

If in fact your Chief is exactly that, it sounds like it is a variety that is worth trying in the Far North. It is very frustrating when you can't trust the labeling of a nursery. The only variety that I have found to be good in our area so far, is Boyne. It puts out a very good tasting, medium sized berries. It does suffer some winter die back though. The majority of my primocanes get to about 5 or 6 foot. A lot of these get winter killed back to about 4 ft tall. The laterals in the spring are then in the 2ft to 4ft range which makes for a lot of low picking. I agree with you Konrad, about late varieties. Too many years where you get nothing because of early freezes. I'm going to gamble and give Chief a try, but it won't be because I'm unhappy with Boyne. |

You have a nice set up! It put one Boyne in and lost it, think the fall planting did it,..have tasted the berry from elswhere and liked it. So many joices, I find most red one's taste similar, some milder then others but this,..so called Chief got my attention, perhaps it has to do with some special growing contition this year, one needs to avaluate of several years and see, I'll keep and eye on this one. Purple Roalty desapointements,..guess I'm not the only one. |

Hope to see more chime in here. I am waiting for the fall sale to get raspberries. I had never given it much thought till this post LOL |
Konrad, I was given an unnamed dwarf selection developed in Alberta, these I have found to have very good flavor and you are welcome to try them. Did the 'Viking' turn out okay for you? Some folks have a bit of trouble with winterkill of this variety and others, it is a good idea to have a patch situated where it will not receive full winter sun, this really helps to avoid cane desiccation. This year's crop of 'Viking' is outstanding and I think also very tasty :) Terrance |

Thank you all! Reading more on raspberries and flavor I almost have to agree that lots of rain,..which we had, makes some berries to go bland,..especially the more milder one's, like purple royalty. I could swear, last year it had more flavor but then I only had a handful to pick. Terry, that also includes Viking. I had my wife in the patch today and she doesn't know what I grow. First try was Purple Royalty,..she say's no taste! Second was the little Latham berries,...no taste! Third, Viking...........................................no taste! I'm pretty sure Viking had better taste last year. Think some canes died down so has hardly any berries this year. On the good note,..they have grown tremendous amount of new shoots this year, hopefully they survive the winter. We voted second place for Nova, even matched would be Souris. Have bought a couple of plants from a Montreal Nursery, supposed to taste like wild ones but the size of a regular one. Thank you Terry with the offer,..not sure if I like dwarf, I'm getting older and bending down gets harder with age LOL |
Yes, too much rain washes out the flavor of raspberries ... though, this year, my region has received near perfect timely rains and missing many of the storms that have hit parts of Edmonton. We enjoy lots of visitors to our home who have commented on how delicious and productive the raspberries are. It is funny about the flavor aspect, my sister and I had both grown 'Nova' and removed them because of the lack of flavor ... but, maybe, we had not received the real 'Nova', there are often variety mix ups coming from the nurseries. Konrad, I understand about the bending down part, I would not want a long row of dwarf raspberries, just enough to enjoy a few of these plants. |

Red Bounty that I planted 2 years ago came into full production. The berries were large 1 inch by 1 inch and plentiful .I found them pleasant to eat and not overly tart. |

Thank you goldenheights! Never heard of these. Here is a picture from the tasty Chief, [top]. |

We've been heaving good heat with the right amount of moisture, pushing berries a little ahead, was eating some Latham yesterday. |
- Posted by konrad___far_north 3..just outside of E (My Page) on Fri, Jul 25, 14 at 0:39
Terry,...the thornless Viking from you has done well over winter with little die back, ...will be picking at some nice hight,..up to 6 foot! |
Konrad, it looks like we'll have another very heavy crop of 'Viking'. I like this variety, but boy does it ever grow TALL! Yesterday, we had been busy staking them up after that storm, it looked like a hurricane had gone through the patch! That 'Chief' looks good! |
- Posted by konrad___far_north 3..just outside of E (My Page) on Mon, Aug 11, 14 at 13:58
Terry, this spring I made a support system with re bar and twine. Here, showing the Viking, started to pick about a week ago. Wondering,..seems I got way to much new shoot coming up, [others too], making it too dense and dark for fruiting stems, do you cut out any? Guess row should be kept narrow. Viking seems better in taste this year,..my daughter liked them the best of all I got. Rather disappointing for the Chief, they seem not hardy,.. So far, Souris, Killarney, and Nova are also very good. Viking, about half of the row. |
- Posted by konrad___far_north 3..just outside of E (My Page) on Mon, Aug 11, 14 at 14:04
Here you see NOVA on the left, on the right Chief, [no fruit]...you see better the re bar support system. |
- Posted by konrad___far_north 3..just outside of E (My Page) on Mon, Aug 11, 14 at 14:17
Konrad, nice photos, your raspberries look very well tended! I also use rebar and twine to hold up our raspberries, the rebar is sooo simple and easy to use compared to other methods. 'Viking' is an excellent variety, people are always amazed to see our very tall vigorous raspberry canes covered in a heavy crop of tasty fruit ... and thornless to boot! Some of the new canes are a whopping 9 ft high and these are just in average soil with no fertilizer or manure added. |
- Posted by konrad___far_north 3..just outside of E (My Page) on Tue, Aug 12, 14 at 2:16
Yep....tons of berries now, I over did it, but,..now I can blend my Evans cherry wine with raspberry! |

Konrad, have you ever tried making raspberry mead? |
- Posted by konrad___far_north 3..just outside of E (My Page) on Wed, Aug 13, 14 at 19:37
No, I never will, reason, too much water wine, ..I want the healthy wine from juice only. |

How Fair Trade Helped Ecuadorian Flower Workers Get their Sundays Back

How Fair Trade Helped Ecuadorian Flower Workers Get their Sundays Back
When I first heard about the washing machines, I thought, "Really?" I'm so used to hearing Fair Trade farmers tell me about how they invested their community development premiums in things like healthcare programs, scholarships for kids and environmental programs. That's why I was truly surprised when a group of flower farm workers in Cotopaxi, Ecuador, presented me with a piece of magic machinery that gives people their Sundays back.
During my visit to the farm, I asked a worker, Elsa Vasquez, why her community decided to spend their premium funds on something as simple as a washing machine. Her statement was very clear:
"I used to spend my Sundays, every single one, from 8am to 1pm down in the river washing my family's clothes by hand. Now I spend it with my family. We go to church together. I take my children to see their grandparents. We have lunch together. I got my Sundays back!"
This made me think about the assumptions we often make about people and their needs, especially those we mean to "benefit" with development assistance, and even through Fair Trade. In this case, it was profoundly clear that nobody knew better about what the workers on this farm needed than the farm workers themselves. They simply wanted their Sundays back.
Those workers, most of them women, not only bought washing machines with the Fair Trade premiums, some of them also bought computers, paid for English classes for their kids, and spoke about their dreams of one day buying a house for their families.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Monica!
Facts about Monica
- Breed: Chihuahua
- Color: Red/Golden/Orange/Chestnut - With Black
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Monica's Info...
I am already spayed, purebred, up to date with shots, and good with dogs.
A beautiful 4 lb one year old girl who was rescued from the baldwin park shelter. She needs a home with another small dog or a family who is not gone all day. please call 818-235-2013
Other Pets at Basic Alliance for the Rescue of K-9's
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Monica, a Simi Valley Chihuahua dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Chihuahua for sale in Simi Valley, or seeking a Chihuahua dog from a breeder in Simi Valley.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Simi Valley already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Simi Valley breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Chihuahua breeders who help with Chihuahua rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Simi Valley paves the way for another one to be saved.

Bye Bye BCS, welcome the playoffs...
Sign this petition if you would like to see Division I College Football move to a playoff system. It is painfully obvious that in the era of the BCS, there has been only one title game without controversy, the 05-06 USC and Texas game. After a season like this, it only shows that the best teams should prove it on the field, not on a computer or in the head of some coach or reporter. There are arguments for about 20 teams to be playing in the National Championship game, and no matter who wins, it will be tainted due to an inefficient and bogus system. Is the BCS better than the previous system... yes, but that isn't justification to not get something better. Make a statement: Let College Football, the coaches, the press, and the BCS know that we expect more from what we the fans are most passionate about. Introduce a playoff system!!

Rythme Coloré (Colored Rhythm), 1946
Oftentimes designers speak about bringing art into everyday life; Russian-born French artist Sonia Delaunay made this central to her life's work. Known primarily as an abstract painter and "extraordinary colorist," Delaunay worked across disciplines: fashion, textiles, graphic design, interiors and fine art. On view until June 5th, the Smithsonian's Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum is presenting the first major exhibition of Sonia Delaunay's work in the United States in 30 years.
Focusing on Delaunay's designs for fashion and textile and covering two major periods of creative output between the 1920's–30s, the exhibition shows more than 300 works with correlating period photographs, fashion illustrations and design work.
Design B53, 1924
Sonia Delaunay in her studio at boulevard Malesherbes, Photographed by Germaine Krull
A driving force behind Delaunay's work is the theory of "simultaneity," the sensation of movement and rhythm created by the simultaneous contrasts of certain colors.
Dress, 1925–28
Beginning with Delaunay's "poem dresses" of the 1910s, synthesizing word, body and movement, and moving into the Simultaneous Boutique (1925) where driving caps, bathing suits and coats from this period are displayed, the garments are "pure geometric forms in rhythmic patterns and brilliant colors."
Set of three fabric samples, Design 198, 1927
The second part of the exhibition surveys Delaunay's textile work for the Metz & Co department store in Amsterdam and includes initial sketches, process design and finished products.
