1 cup canola oil
1/4 cup white vinegar
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons dried basil
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
2 bay leaves
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
8 wooden skewers, soaked in water for 15 minutes
2 pounds cubed beef
8 French bread
I'm from the Binghamton/Endicott area, and like the other reviews stated, these should be served on Italian bread, not French. Also, beef is a pretty rare choice for spiedies. I've seen them made with everything from chicken to venison, but it's typically white meat, and usually either pork or lamb.
My grandmother, from Binghamton, New York, was the original creator of Spiedies. She was interviewed for several newspapers where her original recipe was printed. Her recipe included a few drops of mint to the mariande and was always made with lamb. Over the years, she added beef, chicken and pork when lamb became too expensive. Her Spiedies NEVER were served with French bread, but always served with homemade Italian bread. Crusty on the outsidfe and soft on the inside.

I made these for my husband who grew up in upstate NY. He told me how he had these a lot when he visited his aunt & uncle in Binghamton so I decided to make this for him. He said this was just how he remembered. I should note real spiedies are on Italian bread not French. Also, hubby says spiedies are made with pork so that is what I used. You don't add any condiments. This made my husband's day. Thank you.
I grew up on the northside of Endicott. My grandfather back in the 30's used to cook spiedies outside a bar on Oak Hill Ave. We have a family recipe which is pretty similar except less spices; there should be mint, garlic, red pepper and a touch of oregano. Also if you make you own wine add a bit of red (my grandpa snuck this in everything!)ALWAYS served on Roma'a or Battaglini's bread. And Lamb is the BEST!
I am from Binghamton and the best way to eat a spiedie is on soft sliced italian bread (not french bread). Lupo's and Salamida State Fair Spiedie Sauce are the best, and u can buy them online. And if u like lamb, make lamb spiedies, they are out of this world and served every year at The St. Anthony's Fair.
When I wrote this recipe out I actually typed "French" bread by mistake when I meant to say Italian. But it really doesn't matter. I've seen spiedies served on rolls as well. You can also use chicken, lamb, or pork - whatever you prefer. Live a little!
I made these for a barbeque but with chicken. They were a hit! Saved some of the dressing to pour over top. Yummmm
I am a Triple Cities native and have grown up eating a wide variety of spiedies, however, would like to clear up a couple of points: 1) Spiedies are ALWAYS served on an Italian bread product (most commonly on thick sliced bread, but also a hard Italian roll works very well) 2) They are skewered on metal skewers traditionally and then pulled off with the bread in the other hand 3) There is much debate about the originators of the spiedie-- some claim Lupo's, others state that the spiedies served from Pasquale's Deli on Broad ave are the orignals. These are personally my favorite. One thing is for certain, they are delicious, and the longer you marinate your meat--the better. Happy Dining.

French outdoor clothing retailer Lafuma has confirmed that South Korean apparel conglomerate E-Land is in talks to buy the firm.
In a statement to the French securities market, Euronext Paris, the company said E-Land has shown an interest and discussions are at a very early stage, with no guarantee regarding the outcome.
According to a report in La Lettre de L'Expansion, E-Land is offering EUR35 per share, which values the company at EUR122m (US$159m). The group's share price has soared since the report, reaching EUR25.65 per share today (18 September) compared with EUR17 on Friday.
The E-Land group is one of the biggest fashion and retail businesses in South Korea, with a turnover of more than $7.5bn.
The group has a portfolio of 60 national brands and 40 private brands including Ellesse, New Balance, Berghaus, Teenie Weenie and Marie Claire. It also owns the Peter Scott knitwear business in Hawick and the Northhamptonshire-based Gloverall duffle coat maker, and last year bought weaving and tartan specialist Lochcarron of Scotland.
The group also runs overseas production bases in Sri Lanka and Vietnam where it employs around 4,000 workers making garments for the group as well as supplying other brands such as Esprit.

Three Henrico veterans honored
U.S. Congressman Eric Cantor (above, standing, third from right) presented the 2012 Congressional Veteran Commendation to eight local residents, including three from Henrico, during a Veterans Day ceremony at Clover Hill High School. Retired U.S. Army Sgt. Walter George (standing, fourth from right), Capt. Donald Bloomquist (standing, second from right) and Sgt. James "Jimmy" Ray (standing, far right) of Henrico received the commendation from Cantor. "As we celebrate Veterans Day, we pay tribute to the brave men and women in uniform who have defended our shores, preserved our freedom and promoted liberty since the founding of our nation, and we pray for those currently serving who are still in harm's way," Cantor said. "We also recognize the sacrifices made by our military families. Their support during and after service and deployments is invaluable to our troops. |

Daphne Bavelier, TEDAs we've told you in the past, one of the biggest challenges advertisers face on the web is making sure the ads they pay publishers to display are actually seen by the people who visit the site.
Media tracking firm comScore estimates that nearly half of internet display ads are not viewable, meaning that people can't see them either because they are loaded in places that don't show up on their screens or because publishers fraudulently serve layers of ads behind the page shown to the public.
But according to Sticky, a firm that uses eye-tracking technology to figure out exactly which ads people look at, the actual number of ads people see is closer to 14%. According to company president Jeff Bander, people's brains are trained not to look at certain places on a page, meaning many ads publishers serve are merely white noise.
From Sticky's Jeff Bander.

Medicare Program Integrity:
Few Payments in 2011 Exceeded Limits under One Kind of Prepayment Control, but Reassessing Limits Could Be Helpful
GAO-13-430: Published: May 9, 2013. Publicly Released: Jun 11, 2013.

What GAO Found
Less than 0.1 percent of payments Medicare made in 2011 were for amounts of services that exceeded certain unpublished limits for excess billing and where the claims did not include information from the providers to indicate why the additional services were medically necessary. These limits are set by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)--an agency within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)--as a means to avoid potentially improper payments. To implement these limits, CMS established automated controls in its payment systems called Medically Unlikely Edits (MUE). These MUEs compare the number of certain services billed against limits for the amount of services likely to be provided under normal medical practice to a beneficiary by the same provider on the same day--for example, no more than one of the same operation on each eye. GAO analysis of 2011 claims data found approximately $14 million out of a total of $23.9 billion in Medicare payments for services that exceeded unpublished MUE limits and where the claims did not include information from the providers to indicate why the additional services were medically necessary. As GAO has previously reported, claims could exceed the limits because the MUEs are not set up as per-day limits that assess all services billed by a provider for a single beneficiary on the same day. CMS plans to begin implementing MUEs for some services as per-day limits for services where it would be impossible to exceed the limits for anatomical or other reasons. Medicare contractors that pay claims may develop local edits, which can set more restrictive limits for some services than the national unpublished MUE limits. GAO's analysis of claims data applying a few of these more restrictive local limits showed that by applying them instead of the relevant national MUE limits, CMS could have lowered payments by an additional $7.8 million. However, CMS is not evaluating these local edits to determine if these lower limits might be more appropriate. To the extent that these and other local edits are not evaluated more systematically, CMS may be missing an opportunity to achieve savings by revising some national MUEs to correspond with more restrictive local limits.
CMS and its contractors did not have a system in place for examining claims to determine the extent to which providers may be exceeding unpublished MUE limits and whether payments for such services were proper. CMS officials and contractors told us that they examine aberrant billing patterns at a provider level, that is, across all services billed by the provider, but not specifically for services with unpublished MUE limits. GAO found that payments that exceeded MUE limits were concentrated among certain providers and types of specialties, in certain states, and for certain services. For example, the top 100 providers with payments that exceeded the MUE limits accounted for nearly 44 percent of total payments that exceeded the MUE limits, although they accounted for only about 1 percent of total payments for all services with unpublished MUEs. Moreover, about 26 percent of the top 100 providers included clinical laboratories and durable medical equipment providers, both of which have been identified in the past as having high potential for fraudulent billings. Because unpublished MUEs were developed for services and items that have been fraudulently or abusively billed in the past, without systematically examining billing information and claims from the top providers exceeding those limits CMS may be missing another opportunity to improve its program integrity efforts.
Why GAO Did This Study
CMS has estimated improper Medicare fee-for-service payments of $29.6 billion in fiscal year 2012. To help prevent improper payments, CMS has implemented national MUEs, which limit the amount of a service that is paid when billed by a provider for a beneficiary on the same day. The limits for certain services that have been fraudulently or abusively billed are unpublished to deter providers from billing up to the maximum allowable limit.
GAO was asked to review issues related to MUEs. This report examines the extent to which CMS has (1) paid for services that exceeded the unpublished MUE limits and (2) examined billing from providers that exceeded unpublished MUE limits. GAO analyzed Medicare claims related to these limits in 2011, and interviewed CMS officials and selected contractors in states with high improper payments.
What GAO Recommends
GAO recommends that CMS examine contractor edits to determine if any national unpublished MUE limits should be revised; and consider reviewing claims to identify providers that exceed the unpublished MUE limits, and determine whether their billing was proper. In its written comments, HHS concurred with both our recommendations.
For more information, contact Kathleen M. King at (202) 512-7114 or email@example.com.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Open
Comments: In its comments on a draft of the report, HHS concurred with this recommendation, and indicated that CMS would review the unpublished MUEs to determine whether any limits set should be revised. However, as of October 16, 2014 CMS has not taken any specific action on this issue.
Recommendation: To improve the effectiveness of the unpublished MUEs and better ensure Medicare program integrity, the CMS Administrator should examine contractor local edits related to unpublished MUEs to determine whether any of the national unpublished MUE limits should be revised.
Agency Affected: Department of Health and Human Services: Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services
Status: Open
Comments: In its comments on a draft of this report, HHS concurred with this recommendation and indicate that CMS would conduct further analysis to determine the most appropriate way to respond. However, as of 10/16/14 CMS does not have a process to periodically review claims to identify the providers exceeding the unpublished MUE limits and determine whether their billing was proper.
Recommendation: To improve the effectiveness of the unpublished MUEs and better ensure Medicare program integrity, the CMS Administrator should consider periodically reviewing claims to identify the providers exceeding the unpublished MUE limits and determine whether their billing was proper.

Riley Pentax 110 auto SLR
I bought the E510 last week and found that if I have the built-in flash out of its socket, the red-eye reduction flashes are fired no matter what mode I set the flash to (auto, red-eye reduction, off, slow, etc). This is rather annoying as it takes a couple of seconds and sometimes I do want to use the built-in flash without red-eye reduction. I ended up having to disable the auto-pop-up function and using an external flash. Has anyone encountered the same problem, or is my camera mal-functioning?
finding you query very difficult to interpret but could it be that the focus assist part of the flash is kicking in de-activate it in menus
I agree it sounds like the focus assist, but there is not enough detail. I am also guessing the camera is in full Auto mode. I never use this mode, but I believe that it overrides most user options.

I ended up having to disable the auto-pop-up function and using an external flash. Has anyone encountered the same problem, or is my camera mal-functioning? Laichoon, I purchased the E-510 yesterday. I was able to play with it a little after charging the battery for 4 1/2 hours (grumble). I too experienced the same red-eye reduction feature when the flash automatically popped up. After reading your message, I played with the flash and every time the red-eye reduction would flash as well. It took a little reading of the manual to figure it out, but this is what you have to do... Turn your mode dial to M (Manual Mode). If you want to use the flash, then pop-up the flash manually. If not, then make sure the flash is down. That's it!!! I wish all questions were this easy. Warmly, Sassafras
Manual mode is not the answer. In manual mode he will need to set both the shutter speed and aperture, the camera will set neither, that is why it is called manual mode. Of the 4 non-scene modes ONLY A (auto) will always popup the flash. Even with AF illumination set to ON (it is under the 1st wrench menu) it will only popup the flash in Auto mode. However, in other modes, P(rogram), A(perture) and M(anual) it will use the AF illuminator of the flash only if the flash is manually raised. I just verified this on my E-510.
will it try to focus assist anyway though, in low light
Sorry I wasn't clear in my description; I was trying to keep it short. As kgosden wrote, in auto mode the camera will popup the flash, although this can be disabled by setting the "auto pop up" to "off" (page 79 of the manual). In other modes such as P(rogram), the user has to pop up the flash manually. My problem, however, is that, whenever the flash is up (whether automatically or manually), it will fire a series of pre-flashes lasting 2-3s when the shutter release button is depressed. This happens regardless of the flash mode. There are a total of 11 different modes the built-in flash can be set to: auto, auto with red-eye reduction, fill-in flash, flash-off, slow sync with red-eye reduction, slow sync (first curtain), slow sync (2nd curtain), etc. I thought the series of flashes (which occurs with an audible rattling sound) is for red-eye reduction, not focus assist, but perhaps I am wrong? Other cameras I have used emit a single pre-burst for red-eye reduction. The E510 is the first camera I have used that keeps the flash blinking for so long. If the flashing that comes with the rattling is for red-eye reduction (rather than focus assist), I would have expected it to occur only if I set the flash mode to either "red-eye reduction" or "slow sync with red-eye reduction", and not the other modes, including "flash-off". I want to be able to use the built-in flash for flash photography without the 3s delay caused by the pre-flashes. For instance, I want to take a picture of a moving subject in a dimly-lit room, and by the time the shutter actually releases 3s later, the subject is no longer in the same pose. For now, I am using an external flash, but I really would like to use the built-in flash, if I can bypass the long 3s pre-flashes. Is it possible that the unit I have is defective, or that the firmware has to be updated?
So have you tried to disable the AF illumination? The behavior you describe is clearly the AF illumination. When I disable it on my E-510 and manually raise the flash I only get flash for exposure. AF illumination occurs even when flash for exposure is off.
Yes, you are absolutely right. After I disabled the AF illuminator, the rattling and long delay went away. Thanks so much !!

Dr. Coopersmith is great ! Very accessible and listens and really helps. I was having stomach issues and he quickly set me up for proper tests and then discovered i had gallbladder stones and immediately referred me to a surgeon. The entries process to was less than two months and I was cured. He is a great gp and I honestly am lucky to have him. His secretaries are also amazing. They are warm and unserstanding. Dr. Coopersmith even took my sister on as a patient even when his roster was full. He really cares about his patients and their families.

I have been one of Dr Coopersmith's patients for over 10 years now and would strongly recommend him to anyone. He is a kind, compassionate, caring and excellent doctor and human being. I have gone through some traumatic experiences in the past few years and Dr. Coopersmith has always lent a sympathetic ear and has taken the time to answer and provide solutions to my long list of questions. Today, he and his two amazing angels, went above and beyond...I was given some test results which were very scary to me. My emotions got the best of me and Dr. Coopersmith took the time to calm me down and reassure me and explained that I would need some additional tests to get more in-depth results. Knowing how distraught I was, he told me to call him tomorrow to get the new set of results so as to put my mind at rest. I then went to see Deborah and Mary, my two angels, to make an appointment for me. Well, this is where these girls showed how caring, efficient and wonderful they are. No sooner was I at their desk than they were encouraging me and giving me hope and Deborah was already performing miracles by making me an appointment at the Medical Center for me. Within a half hour, my tests were already done and, not long after that, Deborah was already calling me back with my "positive" results! I am so thankful to Dr. Coopersmith and my two angels. What an amazing team!

Dr Coopersmith is awful awful awful. Run do not walk away from him. He is patronizing and sexist and knows so little about medicine that it is truly remarkable that he has a practice at all. It really shows how desperate people are to find a doctor that they would be happy with him. He only cares if he thinks he going to be sued. It is all about the money. He send patients for unnecessary tests to make money and give false sense of authority and security. THANK GOD I LEFT HIM AND FOUND ANOTHER DOCTOR WHO TOOK ME SERIOUSLY OR I WOULD NOT BE WALKING TODAY!!!! I WASTED A YEAR ON CANES BECAUSE OF HIM!

He's efficient, but you'd better have all your questions and information at your fingertips - he's in and out. That being said, I absolutely trust him and I know I'd be in good hands if I ever got truly sick. In the many years I've been his patient I've rarely had a wait of more than 15 to 20 minutes. The staff is a dream and make you feel welcome and cared for. I love them all.

Dr.Coopersmith is very respectful and thorough in is work process. He doesn't handout the usual drugs - especially antibiotics - without a very good reason. He runs blood test, urine test, all necessary tests before making is call. How many doctors do you know take the time to do so ? As all doctors, he is busy and you will not have 45 minutes to discuss weather conditions. If you have questions, be prepared and asked them. He will answer. The clinic staff is awesome. I actually love to go there !

Dr Coopersmith runs a very efficient and professional practice from what I have seen thus far. He has a lovely staff, they do everything they can to accommodate patients. I can appreciate how difficult it is to maintain a conversation in person while simultaneously coordinating appointments over the phone and staying on top of clerical work, and I can assure you that these ladies do it all seamlessly. The Dr himself is definitely the best I have ever come across. During my first appointment, I nearly passed out from shock when I realized that he was actually making eye contact. He is an intelligent man and clearly very accomplished in his field. He is a good listener despite being limited time-wise, and seems to genuinely care about the well-being of his patients. He has a certain arrogance which, oddly enough, makes him rather charming. My advice would be to take him seriously and refrain from arguing/wasting time...despite what your ego may be telling you, he is probably right.

The staff are rude and obnoxious!! I have visited Dr. Coopersmith for over 10 years. I am in perfect health and only visit when needed. He has always been pleasent and professional (he wears great looking Ferre ties). The blood test charges are not a problem for me, even though he has a very big reputation for prescribing those expensive tests all the time. I will never go back to this doctor after the insulting treatment I recieved on the phone. I was in Europe this October with a client. We both had a terrible cough when we returned, a week later he saw his family doctor to get antibiotics and was feeling better. We were going back in a week so I called Dr. Coopersmith. The rude woman told me I was not a patient "I did not see the doctor every year-at least for a check-up. I would have to wait 3 months to see the doctor" She would do me a favour, this once, and I could see him in 3 days. I never went to the appointment. I refuse to be treated like garbage by that woman!!

I am very fortunate to have Dr. Coopersmith as my family doctor.I feel certain that he saved my life by diagnosing my Ovarian Cancer in its earliest stage. Dr. Coopersmith really listens and makes every effort to find the root of any problem. He looks for answers and doesn't stop testing until he gets them, even if it means directing his patients to health professionals with the required expertise to help him make the correct diagnosis. Dr. Coopersmith referred my husband to the appropriate specialists to help him diagnose a condition which could become debilitating if left untreated. No problem is too big or too small for Dr. Coopersmith's attention. He is knowledgeable, compassionate and professional. I am also very impressed with the way he runs his office. Dr. Coopersmith's staff is efficient and caring. In my experience it is a pleasure to speak to the secretaries because they make me feel valued. Things always get done quickly and competently.

Official: Drug cartel tried to skew Mexico vote
By Associated Press
Sunday, November 20, 2011 - Added 4 hours ago
MEXICO CITY - A Mexican official said Friday that drug traffickers
tried to influence elections in the western state of Michoacan, a
charge already made before the voting by some of the candidates and
party leaders.
Juan Marcos Gutierrez, the outgoing acting interior secretary, said
a drug cartel conducted "boldfaced interference" in last Sunday's
state elections. Though he did not name the gang, a single cartel,
The Knights Templar, dominates most of Michoacan.
"We cannot allow this participation by organized crime to even start
trying to influence (election) results," he said. "We have the
obligation to bulletproof ourselves against this kind of bold-faced
Gutierrez said traffickers tried to intimidate voters to cast
ballots a certain way. He also referred to a local newspaper in a
city whose mayor was shot to death shortly before the elections
being forced to run an ad that threatened to kill anyone who voted
for the mayor's party.
The mayor, like President Felipe Calderon, is a member of the
conservative National Action Party. Calderon's sister ran for
governor in the Michoacan elections, but lost narrowly to the
candidate of the former ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party.
Gutierrez called the threats and pressure used by traffickers
"extremely worrisome."
Gutierrez served about a week as interim interior secretary, before
handing over the post to Alejandro Poire on Thursday. In Mexico, the
interior department oversees domestic security and political
negotiations with congress and also helps organize elections.
In a speech upon taking office, Poire said, "We will not permit
criminals of any kind to interfere with our right to freely elect
our representatives."
Also Friday, the Mexican army said it had seized a $350,000 radio
communications network that was purportedly operated by the Zetas
drug cartel in the northern state of Coahuila. The Defense
Department said the system consisted of 122 radio sets, mostly
hand-held, and was used by the Zetas to conduct internal
communications and monitor law enforcement agencies.
The Mexican navy reported it had detained 14 alleged Zetas members
in the Gulf coast state of Veracruz, where drug gang violence has
worsened in recent months. The navy said the 14 were stopped late
Wednesday in suspicious vehicles along a road.
The Veracruz state government reported that four people were killed
in a shootout with law enforcement officers near the state capital.
The statement did not say which law enforcement agency was involved
or whether those killed in the confrontation belonged to any drug

It's been about a month since I got my Epiphone, and I kinda wanna do a cover with it. I'm thinking about doing either "Sweet Child of mine" by Guns 'n' Roses, or "You shook me all night long" by AC/DC. Maybe I'll just do both. I dunno yet.
In other news, by on July 14th I went to concert with my family. We saw a few cover bands, and mostly, they were horrible. My god they were bad. The only good one was the Led Zeppelin cover band. They were amazing. Seriously though, I had an over all bad time.

An Indiana County man has pleaded guilty to fatally shooting his longtime friend because the suspect was angry that the victim took food from the suspect's mother.
James Buterbaugh, 59, of Marion Center, pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter Monday. He faces up to 20 years in prison when he's sentenced Jan. 30.
State police in Indiana, Pa., said Buterbaugh and David Ackerson, 51, got into an argument over a plate of food at Ackerson's home in Grant Township on May 25.
VIDEO: Watch Ashlie Hardway's report
Buterbaugh told state police that he was awakened by Ackerson around 8 a.m. as Buterbaugh slept inside his pickup truck at Ackerson's home in Grant Township. He said the two men drank beer before Ackerson left for church and Buterbaugh fell back asleep inside the truck.
Buterbaugh then confessed he was later awakened by Ackerson, who had brought two plates of food for himself and Buterbaugh. The food was given to Ackerson by Buterbaugh's mother, Donna Lee Buterbaugh.
Buterbaugh said he grew angry because Ackerson always "mooches" off people. Buterbaugh said he left for a dirt gas-well road between his home and Ackerson's, and Ackerson followed. As Ackerson approached his truck, Buterbaugh told police he said to leave or he would shoot him. Ackerson reportedly said, "Go ahead and shoot me," and Buterbaugh told police that's when he shot Ackerson. Afterward, Buterbaugh called 911 to report the shooting.
"You want to talk about a senseless killing? A plate of food. The defendant alleged that the victim had been mooching food from his mother and that upset him," District Attorney Patrick Dougherty said. "The ironic thing was she made a plate of food for the defendant and one for the victim, for some reason that didn't sit well with the defendant."
Ackerson was pronounced dead at Indiana Regional Medical Center, police said.
"My understanding is that they were friends and they would drive places together and he would help out, the victim would help out, so I think this is really a big surprise," Dougherty said.

A second-half equaliser by Marco Borriello earned struggling Genoa a 1-1 draw at Serie A leaders Juventus on Saturday, denting the champions' hopes of a second successive title.
Former Juve forward Borriello struck in the 68th minute to leave Antonio Conte's side on 49 points at the top, six clear of Napoli and Lazio who earlier suffered a shock 1-0 home defeat by Chievo Verona.
Genoa, playing for the first time under new manager Davide Ballardini, moved up to 18 points but remained third bottom as Chievo climbed to 11th place on 28.
The Juve match was marred by controversy over two penalties not given to the champions in the second half and Juventus striker Mirko Vucinic went unpunished for what appeared to be a handball in the area.
Fabio Quagliarella was on hand to put Juve ahead from Stephan Lichtsteiner's low cross on 54 minutes after the Swiss was expertly found by Vucinic.
Genoa struck 14 minutes later on a rare foray forward, Juraj Kucka's great work on the right ending with a superb cross from which Borriello gleefully headed home his sixth goal of the season.
Alberto Paloschi's seventh goal of the season 61 minutes into an uneventful match for Chievo with second-placed Lazio inflicted Vladimir Petkovic's side's first loss since early November.Reuters

The coin in this lot is of the first type struck at the new Assay Office: the fifty dollar ingot, as it was officially called. Shortly after being introduced, the fifty dollar piece acquired nicknames such as "slug," "adobe," and "quintuple eagle," although "slug" seemed to be the most popular and is still widely used by numismatists and collectors of our time. Charles Cushing Wright, a New York City-based diesinker and artist, designed and engraved the obverse die, and Augustus Humbert, former watchcase maker and newly appointed U.S. assayer, delivered the dies to the new Assay Office in January 1851. The octagonal shape is perhaps the most distinctive characteristic of the first fifty dollar slugs. The circular obverse die features a defiant eagle with a U.S. shield resting on a rock, which symbolizes the U.S. Constitution. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA encircles the border and a scroll between the eagle's wings reads THOUS; a blank space was intentionally left for the fineness of the gold to be imparted by three individual numeral punches, in this case 880. Below the eagle are a D and a C, separated by enough space to allow for the dollar and cent amounts to be hand-stamped into each ingot.
This is a fascinating design feature in that no examples of Humbert octagonal slugs are known to exist with a denomination stamp other than 50. What was Humbert thinking by allowing for the possibility of a fractional denomination? We may never know for certain. This is also true of the purpose of the octagonal shape of the slugs. The reverse design of concentric wavy lines, although seemingly simple in execution, was actually intended as an anticounterfeiting device. Kagin's Private Gold Coins and Patterns of the United States reproduces a letter from Charles Wright to the U.S. Assay Office. In Wright's own words, "The reverse side of the Octagon ingots will present an embossed surface known to mechanics as 'Engine Turning' and similar to the web-like engraving of the vignette of Bank notes. The Die that produced this effect cannot be easily imitated and the machine that executes or engraves the Die is the only one in the United States." Humbert's own experience as a maker of watchcases is certainly reflected in the design, and he is credited with producing the reverse dies (Breen, 1988).
The historic significance of the Humbert octagonal fifties cannot be overemphasized. Since the Assay Office established in San Francisco was a provisional government mint, it can be argued that the Humbert fifty dollar slugs produced there were the first coins of said denomination, as opposed to the Panama-Pacific commemoratives struck in 1915. In Bowers' A California Gold Rush History, an excerpt from a January 30, 1851 editorial in the Alta California newspaper reads, "... they are coins of the United States government as is the dollar and the eagle, being, like them, issued by Act of Congress, and bearing the stamp of the government." Furthermore, it can be reasonably assumed that the Pan-Pac octagonal fifties were inspired by the Humbert slugs of the same shape.
The current example is of the highest quality that one could reasonably expect to locate for the variety or the type. A review of other certified Uncirculated Humbert fifties reveals that the vast majority of pieces display numerous marks and abrasions, as one would expect from such a heavy coin struck in soft metal. The surfaces of this coin are pleasantly free of distractions, save for a tick in the left obverse field. The strike is bold for the issue, and the attractive greenish-gold color only adds to the aesthetic appeal of this magnificent specimen. Listed on page 352 of the 2008 Guide Book. Census: 4 in 63, 2 finer (6/07).

The dress is very versatile, you can wear it on or off the shoulder...but you can pull it up and wear as a top too. Fabric is incredibly soft but I ddn't feel it was sheer as previous reviewer mentioned. I ordered the extrasmall in black -- my usual designer dress size is a 2 (Nanette Lepore, ABS) and I think it still has an oversized look & feel....although I have smaller shoulders. Love it!!!

LONDON - The Museum of London is turning its magnifying glass on the most famous Londoner who never lived: Sherlock Holmes.
The museum last week announced an exhibition devoted to Arthur Conan Doyle's Victorian detective, featuring everything from hand-written manuscripts to the coat worn by Benedict Cumberbatch in the BBC series "Sherlock."
It's the first time the history museum has built a show around a fictional character. But Holmes is one of those rare creations who has long outlived his creator and captured the public imagination for more than a century.
"There are people out there who think he's a real person," said Alex Werner, the exhibition's lead curator. "His profile has never been higher."
Werner said with a new generation discovering the character through the BBC's "playful and reverential" adaptation, the timing seemed right for a major retrospective.
"This is the moment to say: He is one of London's icons. He helped make London what it is," Werner said.
The exhibition, which opens Oct. 17 and runs to April 12, examines the character's origins, in a series of stories by doctor-turned-writer Conan Doyle, and his evolution through myriad stage and screen adaptations.
Werner said the aim was to "peel back the layers" of a character who is simultaneously cerebral sleuth, forensic scientist, drug-taking bohemian and archetypal Englishman.
The show draws liberally from the museum's large collection of Victorian costumes and artifacts, including a 19th-century syringe; Holmes infamously relieved boredom with a seven-percent solution of cocaine in water.
The Free Library of Philadelphia has loaned pages from Edgar Allan Poe's handwritten manuscript for the 1841 story "The Murders in the Rue Morgue." It's often considered the first modern detective yarn and was a childhood favorite of Conan Doyle.
There's also an oil portrait of Conan Doyle, painted in 1897 by Sidney Paget, whose illustrations for the original stories in Strand magazine created the lean, hawkish Holmes of popular imagination. Pat Hardy, the museum's curator of paintings, prints and drawings, noted that the solid, moustache-sporting Conan Doyle looks distinctly Dr. Watson-ish.
And no modern Sherlock show would be complete without the flowing Belstaff overcoat worn by Cumberbatch in "Sherlock," a garment that's something of a style icon in itself.
The artifacts will be set alongside paintings, prints and photographs of late 19th-century London, including the evocative but little-known illustrations of American artist Joseph Pennell, on loan from the Library of Congress. The images, like the stories, evoke a vast, polluted metropolis of foggy streets and horse-drawn hansom cabs, bustling crowds and screams in the night.
Hardy said the exhibition hoped to underline "the importance of London to the stories. It seems to have been taken for granted."
Werner said the exhibition will end with a "near-death experience" inspired by the detective's demise over the Reichenbach Falls in the 1893 story "The Final Problem."
Even then, Holmes did not stay dead for long. A fan outcry led Conan Doyle to revive him in 1903.
"Almost as soon as Conan Doyle created Sherlock Holmes, he was trying to kill him off," Werner said. "He thought the Sherlock Holmes stories were a minor form of fiction."
History has proved him wrong.
The illustration The Adventure of the Silver Blaze is Holmes gave me a sketch of the events, from the Strand magazine.

Topic: Pruning, Shrubs
Title: Hail damage to Cenizo in Austin
Answered by: Barbara Medford
We have some Texas sage Silverado. After the latest hail, they look very sad. If about the half of plant is OK and the other half looks dried/dead?, should we prune the dried half? Are they ever coming back?ANSWER:
Leucophyllum frutescens (Texas barometer bush) is a tough desert bush, but the weather has really handed it a one-two punch in Austin this year. Considering what hail can do to your car or roof, it's not surprising that the Cenizo looks pretty beat-up. However, after you read these Condition Comments from the webpage on this plant in our Native Plant Database, you may also understand what other problems the plant is experiencing:
"Conditions Comments: According to legend, cenizo tend to bloom in conjunction with rainfall. The ashy appearance of the leaves is due to the millions of tiny hairs covering them. Cenizo is easy to grow so long as it has good drainage. It makes a good screen or hedge. There are many nice color selections and cultivars. Susceptible to cotton root rot. Humidity and high night temperatures are lethal. Cultivated cenizos tend to become leggier with fewer blooms than in nature; tip prune to increase density. Cenizos should not be fertilized or over-watered. Drought- and heat-tolerant."
In particular, note this line from those comments: "Humidity and high night temperatures are lethal." And what have we been having in Austin this summer? Right.
Before you start pruning anything off, give the dead-looking branches the thumbnail test. Scrape just a very fine layer of the skin off one or two of those branches, some higher, others closer to the roots. If there is a thin layer of green beneath that first coat, the plant is still alive and so are those branches. They are just laying low until Summer blows over. We would certainly suggest some tip pruning, and a little deep watering a couple times a week. Remember, this plant also needs good drainage, so if water is standing after you water it, that's too much. Spread some good quality shredded bark mulch over the root area, which will both hold in moisture and help to keep the roots cool. We predict you will see some recovery when the cool weather and (hopefully!) the rains come in the Fall.
