Wass Molitor Slug, K-9, VF25 PCGS1855 $50 Wass Molitor Fifty Dollar VF25 PCGS. K-9, R.5. In addition to Twenty Dollar gold pieces, the firm of Wass, Molitor, & Company on Merchant and Montgomery Streets, San Francisco also issued Fifty Dollar slugs in 1855. To help fill the gap created by the temporary suspension of coinage at the San Francisco Mint, the private mint produced $38,000 in Twenty and Fifty Dollar coins each day beginning at the end of March. Coinage operations ceased entirely sometime before the end of the year.
The only round slugs issued in Gold Rush California, the Wass Molitor pieces were much more popular than their octagonal predecessors from the United States Assay Office of Gold. (It was these octagonal examples that flooded the economic channels of California during 1851; their unpopularity helped convince Wass and Molitor that there was money to be made in the production of smaller denomination gold coins). Kagin (1981) even states that the 1855 Wass Molitor Fifties also circulated in other parts of the United States.
This mid-grade survivor is a little bright with orange-gold coloration. There is actually quite a bit of remaining detail for the VF25 designation, although both sides are abraded with several moderate distractions. Several scrapes around the denomination on the reverse are seen on each side, defects one would expect from these 2 1/2 ounce circulating slugs of gold. Listed on page 298 of the current Guide Book.

Risk of Detroit's downfall growing
Insolvency threatening Chrysler, GM, suppliers
DETROIT -- With Congress at odds on a bailout for Detroit, the odds that General Motors and Chrysler will be insolvent by year's end are growing.
The companies have been warning that they would run out of money for some time, but crushing bills from their suppliers are coming due.
As a result, the hypotheticals about the domino effect of the companies' troubles through the vast network of auto supplier firms -- which employ more than twice as many workers as the carmakers -- are becoming real.
General Motors and Chrysler owe their suppliers a total of about $10 billion for parts that have been delivered. GM has held off paying them for weeks and Chrysler is paying in small increments. But the cash shortages at GM and Chrysler are getting more severe, according to their top executives and other officials.
GM has said its cash reserves are falling by more than $2 billion a month and the company has hired bankruptcy advisers.
Chrysler is a private company, but its sales are falling faster than any other company in the industry and it has acknowledged it will run out of money soon, too.
Many of their suppliers are teetering on the verge of bankruptcy themselves, and cannot extend credit much longer.
"I don't think that suppliers will be able to get through the month without continued payments on their receivables," said Neil De Koker, chief executive of the Original Equipment Suppliers Association in Troy, Mich., a trade group.
When suppliers big and small start failing, the flow of parts to every automaker in the country will be disrupted because suppliers typically sell their products to both American and foreign brands with plants in the United States.
"There's no question it will hit Toyota, Honda and Nissan too," said John Casesa, principal in the auto consulting firm Casesa Shapiro Group.
"Many of the small suppliers will simply liquidate because they don't have the resources to go reorganize in Chapter 11 bankruptcy," Casesa said. "They'll just go away."
In years past, suppliers have often been able to assist a troubled automaker by extending payment periods to get through tough times.
By De Koker's estimation, hundreds of suppliers no longer have that flexibility.
They cannot borrow money in a frozen credit market, and they cannot buy raw materials without first being paid for parts they already shipped.
The Big Three, along with their foreign competitors, are what most people think make up the entire auto industry. But the car manufacturers are just the top of the pyramid.
While GM, Ford and Chrysler employ 239,000 people in the United States, the country's 3,000 or so auto suppliers have more than 600,000 workers.
Suppliers range from large, publicly held companies that make car seats and axles, to much smaller firms that provide clamps, hoses and stamped metal parts.
Like the Big Three, most of the bigger suppliers have been restructuring their operations drastically to match the shrinking demand for new vehicles.
For example, Dura Automotive Systems, which makes brake pedals, doors and glass parts, has cut 2,600 jobs in the last 60 days and consolidated seven corporate divisions into four, and reduced travel expenses and subscriptions. Even coffee has been removed from the corporate board room.
"We're operating as if we don't know where the bottom is," said Timothy D. Leuliette, Dura's chief executive. "It's as if we are hungry all the time, and we don't know where things are going."
And Dura, a global company with sales of $1.8 billion, is in better shape than many other suppliers.
Senate's late-night talks
Late Thursday, the Senate rejects the House-approved bailout and tries to create a new one based on a plan by Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn. Those negotiations collapse in a dispute with the union over pay cuts.
The Senate setback derails quick federal aid to avert a severe cash crunch at General Motors and Chrysler, with no clear way forward.
Now, the companies face billions in unpaid bills from auto-parts suppliers who themselves are on the financial brink. Thousands of jobs hang in the balance.

Making More Money With Monitored Security ServicesExecutives from third-party central monitoring stations assess the marketplace and shed light on how dealers can increase their overall recurring revenue offerings in commercial and residential markets.
Latest in Monitoring
While the odds at table games and chances of winning at a slot machine are frequent topics for debate in the gaming industry, one thing is certain: Casinos around the world, both corporate and Native American, are in the midst of performing the biggest upgrade since ... August 31, 2007
TeleAlarm, provider of emergency response systems, has acquired SafetyCare monitoring center, according to company officials. April 18, 2007
But false alarms continue to decay the industry, and the only way to ensure the future health of installing and monitoring companies is to drill down deep to the root of the problem. October 31, 2005
Deputy Brian Wondra was racing to save the day after an alarm went off in Scott County, Minn., when a big rig slammed into his vehicle, leaving him with injuries that nearly cost him his life. The incident turned even more tragic when Wondra learned he was responding to a false alarm. Now, Wondra tells his story and gives his views on the false alarm issue. February 29, 2004
When the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) granted approval of a new standard allowing data networks to be used to report fire alarm and other life safety-related signals to central monitoring facilities, the move heralded a new age in life safety. By approving Formal Interpretation (FI) 72-99-1 and Tentative Interim Amendment (TIA) 99-3, NFPA took the first step towards nearly instantaneous transmission of life-safety alarms. December 31, 2001
Security software developer Dice Corp. announces it is offering in-house financing to qualified dealers to obtain and use the company's central station monitoring software. June 05, 2001

extremely aggressive only to neighborhood dogPosted by: Adrienne L.
Posted on: April 02, 2003 at 16:25:24
My JRT is a three-year old female, perfect in every way except.....there are two dogs that live in our neighborhood that she simply cannot stand. She acts like she wants to kill these dogs (one is a miniature schnauzer, the other a maltese.) Every time they are outside she goes crazy barking/yipping and nothing can stop her. On the (thankfully) rare occasions she manages to slip out our door unleashed, she heads right to one of the other dogs' houses and starts attacking the front door! My JRT and these dogs have not met let alone had a previous confrontation (and I'm too worried to introduce them now!) I thought the problem might be small dogs (she definately prefers the big ones) but when we are on walks or at the park and encounter small dogs, she is fine and friendly. She just does not like these two dogs in our neighborhood and I don't know why. She gets along with all other dogs in the neighborhood and is hardly ever aggressive when meeting new dogs outside of our neighborhood. Is there anything I can do about her behavior? Thank you.

MSD Ignition System - High Voltage
Project C3 Triple Ex Gets A Modern Electronic Ignition System

MSD Ignition System - High Voltage
Is the ignition system in your Corvette up to the task of firing your engine's mixture? Chances are it's not if you're still sporting factory components. This month we'll upgrade Project C3 Triple Ex with a new MSD ignition system to energize our Stingray.
When we got our project car, it had a factory points-style distributor that had been converted to electronic with now-defunct Crane internals. Since the distributor and coil were likely as old as the car, we decided to replace them with new MSD electronic ignition.
As the foundation for our new ignition system, we chose MSD's new 6AL-2 ignition controller. This is a high-energy ignition system capable of 535 Volts and 135 millijoules, and it's compatible with distributors or crank triggers.
Different Corvettes may require different mounting positions; just be sure you orient the unit so that you can access the rev-limiter rotary switches.
MSD offers a Pro-Billet distributor with a mechanical tachometer drive just for Corvette owners, allowing you to retain the factory tach in your early Vette. This distributor is a nice piece, suitable for race or street applications.
The Pro-Billet distributor comes with all the hardware needed to attain multiple timing curves. In our experience, the MSD timing graphs outlined in the instructions are dead on.
To change the timing curves, simply remove the distributor cap and rotor to gain access to the bushings and springs. The idea is to achieve as much initial advance as possible without dragging the starter, and to reach full total advance by 2,500 rpm.
Before removing the old distributor, mark the number-one spark plug, then pull the cap and verify the orientation of the rotor. The new distributor should be oriented the same as the old one.
The MSD distributor slides right in place of the original unit. By holding the housing and rotating the rotor, you'll feel the distributor gear mesh with the cam gear, and the distributor will drop into place.
The 6AL-2 offers digital circuitry, and the two stages of rev limiting are easily adjusted through the holes in the ignition housing. A small screwdriver is included with the ignition for this purpose. The LED light on the side lets you know the unit is working properly.
In addition to the detailed instructions, the wiring diagram for the unit is also embossed on the back. The wiring is very simple, almost as easy as wiring one of Editor Heath's guitar amplifiers.
The ignition unit should be mounted away from heat, and in an area that won't be exposed to the elements. After considering our options, we chose the back of the left (driver side) inner fender. Using the unit as a template, we drilled four holes and installed the rubber isolators provided with the ignition.
Using the coil as a template, we drilled four mounting holes and mounted our Blaster HVC coil on the firewall near the distributor.
Taking advantage of the Corvette's mechanical tach drive, we used the tachometer output on our new ignition unit to power MSD's programmable shift light.
With the major components in place, we installed new MSD Super-Conductor plug wires.
MSD systems aren't compatible with solid-core plug wires, so we recommend replacing the wires when you replace the ignition components.
Since the MSD ignition delivers much-higher energy, the company recommends opening the spark-plug gap. For engines under 10.5:1 compression, 0.050- to 0.060-inch of plug gap is the desired starting point.
This LED shift light mounts easily on the steering column or A-pillar and ensures we won't miss a shift.
The new ignition system not only serves important performance and safety functions, it also looks good under the hood. We can now be confident that Project C3 Triple Ex will have the high-energy, reliable ignition required for future upgrades.
We took our project car to the Lakeland Drag Strip after installing our MSD ignition and ran just over a tenth of a second quicker than our previous best of 8.94 seconds in the eighth-mile. More importantly, our Stingray now starts quicker and has better throttle response. Now the ignition system of Project C3 Triple Ex is up to the task of supporting further modifications.
Thanks to CARB (the California Air Research Board), MSD provides these decals with its ignition components. Thanks to good engineering, engines with MSD ignition generally run cleaner, so nearly all MSD components are legal in all 50 states.

Greetings, the name is Nick. I never update so don't expect much. If you talk to me you may guess I'm a little on the odd side. Don't let it bother you is my advice. If you were wondering, I'm not writing at the moment because I'm busy concentrating on my art. However, I am trying to get on with my stories.
I like anime, manga, comics, cartoons, writing and cosplay, but my biggest hobby is reading. I also spend my free time in air cadets, drawing and playing video games with my big brother.
I like to learn new languages. At the moment I can speak English(duh…), German, French and a bit of Welsh. I'm also learning Japanese but I'm not doing so well.
Oh and you see that horse there? Yeah that's the one. The one as my background. Well you, yeah you, may call him Spike. He's pretty badass and eats dragons for breakfast.
Warning, I'm a pretty big "grammar nazi" so please don't ask me to read your story if you don't even bother using spell check. Otherwise, I'll be happy to!

How does an Abortion Pill work?
Both abortion pills, mifepristone and misoprostol, are usually used in order to terminate a pregnancy. Mifepristone causes the embryo to detach from the uterus thereby cutting off essential nutrients and oxygen carried by the blood. Misoprostol is then taken two days later and triggers the evacuation of the embryo remnants through the vagina. This often appears as a heavy period.
Is the Abortion Pill safe?
The abortion pill is usually safer than a medical abortion or surgical abortion but should only be considered up to 24 weeks (7months) of pregnancy. Medical Abortion pills can be Delivered to you Just Call Us to make a desired Delivery Counter or Door call on +27789982392
