Famous 1916 Doubled Die Obverse Nickel1916 5C Doubled Die Obverse MS63 NGC. FS-101. In CONECA parlance (the Combined Organizations of Numismatic Error Collectors of America), the 1916 Doubled Die Obverse Buffalo has been described as an example of pivoted hub doubling, where the dual hubbing is rotated about a pivot point near the rim. But a close look at this variety adds substance to a point that group makes on its website (www.conecaonline.org) where it has gotten away from such technical descriptions in favor of the more-generic "hub doubling error" or "doubled die error":
Fabulous MS63 Example of FS-101
Fabulous MS63 Example of FS-101
"In its infancy, the collecting of hub doubled coins, commonly known as 'doubled dies,' centered around the circumstances that produced the various kinds of doubling known. For example, the doubling on some coins appeared all the way around the rim lettering in a clockwise or counter-clockwise fashion. Other coins exhibited doubling on just some of the rim lettering. On other coins, the doubling was directed toward the center or the rim. Still on others the doubling affected only certain design elements. Thus the following classes of hub doubling were proposed, principally by Alan Herbert, to explain these differences. Most hub doubling is now regarded as a hybrid of these classes. It is very difficult with only a coin in hand to logically backtrack and find the cause of its hub doubling. So many things can and do happen in the hubbing process that figuring out exactly what happened in each case may not be possible. Again, the important thing is recognizing the variety as true hub doubling, not in determining to which class of hub doubling it belongs."
On the 1916 Doubled Die Buffalo, the doubling is clearly boldest in the region of the date, appearing to be pivoted hub doubling with the pivot point opposite about 1:30 near the obverse rim, a location at which the doubling is too minute to be perceived.
But something else is going on, as well. The doubling of the date is not of the carbon-copy variety -- not even an off-center carbon copy. The first appearance of the date is of course level on the coin, but the second, doubled occurrence of the date appears to tilt slightly upward from left to right -- an understandable observance, given our comprehension of pivoted hub doubling. What is more difficult to explain, however: On the doubled date, the first 1 is barely visible, with only part of its top showing. Each successive digit shows more detail toward the bottom, with the last 6 nearly complete on the bottom loop.
What happened to cause this phenomenon? The second hub blow appears to have been a glancing one, with planar misalignment between hub and the die it was striking. It is not only the extreme elusiveness of this variety, but its extreme oddness as well, that contributes to its appeal.
This example of the 1916 Doubled Die Obverse nickel must have been certified at least a few years ago, for the label uses the old Fivaz-Stanton number, FS-016. The coin itself is luminous under a mix of light gray and green-gold shadings with occasional glimpses of lavender and violet. It is strongly appealing despite wispy abrasions and a flyspeck to the southeast of the portrait's chin, and the strike is decent, if a trifle soft on the bison's shoulder. An important and rare Mint State survivor of this cherished variant. Census: 4 in 63, 4 finer (2/12).(Registry values: N10218) (NGC ID# 2TSS, PCGS# 3931)

Towards a justification for a philosophy of music education: a quodlibet for South Africa
Barker Reinecke, Marguerite Lillian
ABSTRACT With the change of regime in 1994, South African education policies for the arts have been created without a conceptual base. Music is on the outskirts of the present educational master plan that favours mathematics, science and literacy. The current situation of teacher shortages and emphasis on 'basic' subjects does not make posts possible for specialist music teachers in primary schools. The generalist trained Arts and Culture teacher is tasked to teach drama, music, and the visual arts. The attempt by policy makers to blur the outlines of individual art forms has created the generic Arts and Culture teacher who is unsure of the art forms in which he/she has little or no training. This lack is exposed and justification for the necessity of a philosophy of music education for South Africa will be proposed. A philosophy of music education refers to a system of basic beliefs, which underlie the operation of musical enterprise in an educational setting, whether school, community centre, or tertiary institution. A philosophy of music education would investigate and create an understanding of the underlying assumptions and principles governing the teaching and learning of music.Music is a modelling system for human thought and is a cognitive activity with forms of knowledge as important as any school subject. The 'out of school' influences of music are all-encompassing and ubiquitous to intercultural communication between peoples. Evidence is overwhelming that the political history in South Africa has interfered with and disrupted an enculturation of a musical life for children. The literature research shows that music education in South Africa was used as a political tool to support apartheid doctrines and processes. The restoration of a culture of co-operative musicing would help music teachers. Their active agency would positively affect policy in the arts. Furthermore making music or 'musicing' in a collaborative manner would break downbarriers because musicing encourages inter-racial rapprochement in a society where racial barriers are no longer dominant. Such harmonious communicating will help to create a new and idiomatic South African music culture. For this purpose I have proposed the adoption of the musical genre called quodlibet, a technique of composing music for many voices which are played simultaneously. This provides a platform for the collaboration of musicians, teachers, policy makers, and parents, within the wider community from which the pupils come to from. The quodlibet becomes a guiding principle and metaphor for the entire study. The central focus is to articulate the need for a philosophy of music education and to propose and defend conditions that would facilitate the growth of a conceptual centre for music education.

1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to automatic identification, automatic data capture, and data storage technology, specifically, optical encoding.
2. Description of Related Art
Monochromatic barcodes and "2D" barcodes or portable data files, such as the Symbol PDF417 code, are known. But these symbologies uniformly suffer from extremely small information capacity per unit of area, i.e., information density.
Multicolor barcode solutions have been proposed in recognition of the potential for exponentially higher information density than the monochromatic approach allows. See, e.g., Saito, U.S. Patent Publication No. 2002/0066786 and related applications (hereinafter, collectively called "Saito"); Harrison, U.S. Patent Publication No. 2003/0209604 (hereinafter, "Harrison II"); see, also, Harrison, U.S. Patent Publication 2003/0193842 (using light phenomena to indicate time)(hereinafter, "Harrison I").
However, with the exceptions of Harrison I and II, these proposed polychromatic solutions are not ideal in that they suffer from:
Harrison I and II, meanwhile, fail to disclose a compound matrix structure, a command sequence reference mechanism, and numerous other novel features of the present invention.
What is needed, therefore, is a barcode or portable data file solution that (i) offers information density levels that are many times greater than those available under the most effective related art; (ii) is effective in diverse optical and commercial settings; (iii) is infinitely customizable; and (iv) otherwise overcomes many of the limiting factors that plague related art solutions.
It is an object of the present invention, therefore, to provide a fully integrated, polychromatic optical encoding solution which simultaneously achieves both unprecedented information density and a high degree of usability so that the system can be deployed under a wide variety of conditions.
The following definitions from Webopedia.com may be useful:
Numerous distinct technologies from distinct industries are also relevant to the present disclosure, including: color matching systems, such as those used to scan housepaint samples of an unknown color so as to produce a matching batch of paint; data processing equipment, including computers, and all related hardware and software, such as monitors, printers, scanners, spectrophotometers, database management software, and Web server and browser software; operating systems (the present invention is OS-agnostic) and programming, markup, scripting, and database query languages; color analysis and management hardware and software; automatic data capture hardware and software, particularly optical; and remaining relevant technologies. All documents which, as of the time of this writing, may be found through www.google.com, www.wikipedia.org, or www.yahoo.com are hereby incorporated by reference into the present disclosure in their entirety for the purpose of informing the reader about these and all other relevant technologies.
The first of two alternative embodiments provides an ultra-high-density (UHD) barcode, symbology, method, device and system, thereby providing maximum information density—and in some cases, infinitely high density—but enjoying less tolerance for imperfection than the second alternative embodiment. The second alternative embodiment provides a very-high-density (VHD) barcode, symbology, method, device and system, thereby providing exponentially higher information density than related art barcode technology while also enjoying greater printability and tolerance for imperfection in real world environments than the UHD embodiment.
The present invention provides a barcode system, method and device that achieves superior information density and usability through a number of innovations, including:
Definitions for terms used in the present disclosure include:
Next, an intended document is created 103, such as the brief intended document 123 depicted in
Next, an image is created 106 of a chromocode embodying a sequence of data blots, wherein the sequence of data blots matches the color sequence which has been determined by the above two-step translation of antecedents to identifiers to colors; such a chromocode 150 is depicted in
When the chromocode is to be decoded, the recipient scans the image 150 with a scanner 181 in communication with data processing software suitable for analyzing and detecting differences in color. Each of the measured color parameter values of each scanned calibration blot fall along a continuum 185 of potential values for each color parameter such as the continuum depicted in
The post-calibration values of each scanned data blot are compared 110 against the corresponding values of color standards so as to determine which color is supposed to be manifested in each data blot. An example of a comparison between the parameter values of a particular scanned color blot and the values of two potentially matching color standards is depicted in
In the depicted example, the combined absolute values of the margin of deviation of the scanned color from the parameters (in the depicted case, RGB) of the color standard for "powder blue" is significantly lower than the combined absolute values of such margin of deviation from the color standard for "royal blue." Thus, the extracted color for the given color blot is interpreted to be powder blue, which corresponds to unique identifier "ID 66", which in turn corresponds to the capital letter "M" as depicted in
When an extracted color has been determined for each data blot, extracted colors are translated into corresponding identifiers 111, and the resulting identifiers are translated into corresponding antecedents 112, which are individual ASCII characters in the default vocabulary 122.
The highly distinguishable nature and limited number of the colors used in these pairings makes the VHD embodiment more tolerant of deviation from color standards than the UHD embodiment. This enhancement is accompanied by a sacrifice of information density. The basic alphanumeric-only set of characters in this code is well-suited for automatic ID applications.
In the limited UHD embodiment, individual characters of the intended document are represented by individual data blots in the resulting chromocode such that one blot represents "M", another blot represents "y", and so on. Greater information density can be achieved, however, if entire words or groups of characters are represented by a single blot such that one blot represents "Myths", another blot represents "Magicry", and so on.
In order for a given blot to represent an entire word or character string, the identifier represented by the given blot must be assigned to the word or character string to be represented. Such an assignment requires definition and specification of additional vocabulary or modification of the default vocabulary.
First, an intended document is created 401 and evaluated 402. This evaluation is made through consideration of the content of the intended document, the length thereof, and the application/objective for or context within which the resulting chromocode will be used. The criteria for this evaluation include those criteria listed in
If a high-density barcode is unnecessary, a conventional monochromatic barcode may be used 404. Otherwise, a polychromatic barcode should be used 405. In the latter case, an additional evaluation must be made to determine whether UHD or VHD is preferable 406. In this evaluation, the benefits of greater density are weighed against the benefits of higher tolerance for deviation from color standards 406. If tolerance is preferred 407, a VHD code should be used 408. Otherwise, a UHD code should be used 409.
If UHD is preferred 409, the quantity of information in the intended document is further evaluated 410 to determine whether a referential code is appropriate. If not 411, a strictly additive approach is taken 412. If so, an approach is taken that allows for referential, subtractive, substitutive, and insertive encoding and decoding 413.
Under the latter method path, local and nonlocal external values may be incorporated into the extracted document. If local values are to be incorporated into the extracted document 414, command sequences specifying the values to be obtained from the recipient are generated 415 for inclusion in the encodable document; such a sequence may be in the form of a database query. If nonlocal external values are to be incorporated into the extracted document 416, a target reference document is uploaded 417 to an Internet-accessible server, and a command sequence specifying the URL of this document is generated 418 for inclusion in the encodable document. An example excerpt from a vocabulary comprising sample assignments of identifiers to commands for use in a referential UHD code appears in
Note that target reference documents should be simple text (.txt) files consisting solely of content which the user wishes to reference. By contrast, references that require structure, e.g., chromotifs and vocabularies, should be marked-up through use of markup tags (for instance, conforming to XML conventions, if desired). An example of such tagging appears in
If any external values are to be modified 419 after acquisition per the processing discussion below, command sequences specifying operations to be performed on these external values are generated 420 for inclusion in the encodable document.
After performance of these steps, the referential, subtractive and substitutive path rejoins the additive path. Content not to be acquired by external reference is then analyzed to identify the most common terms 421 and most common letter combinations 422 therein. A base vocabulary is selected 423 that will provide the greatest information density in light of the results of the analysis of this internal data; if a nonstandard vocabulary is to be gathered from an external source, command sequences specifying the URL of this vocabulary are generated 424 (referential code only) for inclusion in the encodable document. An example excerpt of a vocabulary comprising the most common words in English appears in
Any modifications to the default or, if used, selected vocabulary are achieved through the use of vocabulary modification command sequences 425; a vocabulary modification sequence uses a "ReplaceID" nest, within which is specified a particular identifier, and a "WithNewData" nest, within which is provided a new antecedent to be represented by the given identifier in lieu of the antecedent that would otherwise be represented, thereby.
After these steps, the final sequence of identifiers to be included in the encodable document has been determined, and the remaining steps pertain to appearance of the chromocode. The contextual setting in which the code will be used is evaluated 426, taking into consideration such matters as the colors of the packaging to which the chromocode is to be applied. If the use of a chromotif is desirable 427, the appropriate chromotif is selected and specified and any modifications thereto made through command sequences 428; if necessary, the chromotif may be uploaded and referenced by URL.
Finally, the encodable document is reduced to an image comprising data blots colored according to the default color-to-indentifier set or selected chromotif, if any. Calibration blots are also included in the image 429. The resulting final chromocode image may then be applied to a surface.
The process depicted in
To elaborate, such a command sequence itself, as depicted in
Each data blot is of the color that has been assigned to the unique identifier that the data blot represents through a chromotif such as that depicted in
In allowing modifiable multicharacter antecedents, the unique identifier essentially serves as a fulcrum in the disclosed compound matrix structure, thereby further leveraging the encoding power of the present invention so as to yield even greater information density.
Whenever antecedents correspond to blots, an additive approach is being used: the more antecedents there are to be encoded, the more blots are needed. While the limited UHD embodiment is extremely powerful relative to the related art, information density even under the limited UHD embodiment can only be increased by increasing the amount of information assigned to each unique identifier, i.e., by developing ever more specific vocabularies and lengthier antecedents.
However, the inherent limitation of additive encoding—a limitation that appears to plague all the related art, both monochromatic and polychromatic, to some degree—is almost entirely bypassed through an external reference function of the present invention. This referential function may be understood in abstract terms through review of
In practical terms, the referential function works as follows: when an external reference is used instead of additive representation of the content of an intended document, a target reference document is specified through a command sequence of antecedents such as that depicted in
To elaborate, the command sequence itself, as depicted in
As shown in the flowchart in
The end result is a UHD-IHD code.
While the information density of the UHD-IHD code is unrivaled, the usability of the external reference feature is still constrained by the necessity of creating, uploading, hosting on an Internet-accessible server, and modifying as necessary the target reference document. However, at least one of these constraints, that of modifying the target reference document, is overcome by three external value modification functions of the present invention: subtraction/deletion, substitution, and insertion.
For instance, a sender may wish to use an external reference in order to enjoy maximum information density yet may also desire that the reference-derived content appearing in the final extracted document partly differ from the content of the target reference document itself. In such a case, a user can use the external value modification functions to modify content derived from the target reference document without modifying the target reference document itself.
To elaborate, the command sequence itself, as depicted in
Immediately thereafter follows a "SubstituteCharacters" command nest, within which are provided, in desired order, a sequence of antecedents ("o", "u" and "r" in the example); when the content of the given variable is included in the final extracted document, these replacement characters are to appear in the same relative location where the deleted characters would have appeared.
Note that the example command sequence has been depicted in this way in order to demonstrate the present invention in a fashion that can be easily understood. Clearly, different and additional command names and techniques can be used as appropriate without exceeding the scope of the present disclosure.
The synergistic results of the referential, subtractive, and substitutive functions when used in combination are dramatic: a 1000-page document—even one that is unique to the given chromocode—can be conveyed using a small number of color blots.
Insertive processing (not graphically shown) is similar: the character in a text string after which matter is to be inserted is identified through an "InsertAfterCharacter" command nest. Thereafter, the matter to be inserted is specified through an immediately following "Insert" command nest.
To delete characters (not graphically shown) without substituting any new characters, simply follow the command sequence for replacing characters but include no information in the "SubstituteCharacters" nest.
Users can host vocabularies, target reference documents, chromotifs, and any other reference materials on their own websites if they wish. However, the present invention also gives rise to a commercial opportunity for a company to serve as a central location for all such hosting purposes.
Notably, although not graphically depicted, the company may also wish to charge users a fee to host documents or to access URLs for reference materials.
In applications where the higher tolerances of a VHD embodiment are desirable but a larger character set than that of the limited embodiment is needed, the full VHD embodiment may be used so that selection of the total number of colors to be used and the ratio of color blots per antecedent is possible. This selection is made with reference to the options and advantages depicted in
The shift character serves to expand the character set that can be represented by the same trichromatic color triplets. Its function is straightforward: when a non-shift-character triplet is not preceded by the shift-character triplet, the antecedent represented by the non-shift-character triplet is the default antecedent (depicted in
An example of two different antecedents represented by the same triplet is depicted in
It should be noted that, after a final extracted document has been produced, this extracted document can then be further manipulated as the recipient wishes. For instance, if a final extracted document is an HTML document, this document can then be viewed in a browser so that the document is presented according to the HTML formatting. Similarly, an extracted document that is an XML document can be parsed and then the data described therein imported into a database.
Although the description above contains many specificities, these should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention but as merely providing illustrations of some of the presently preferred embodiments of this invention. Accordingly, the scope of the invention should be determined by the appended claims and their legal equivalents, rather than by the examples given. For instance, as is plain to one skilled in the art, it will be understood that features of one embodiment may be combined with features of other embodiments while other features may be omitted or replaced as being nonessential to the practice of the invention, regardless of whether such combination, omission or modification has been explicitly described.
It is expressly intended that users should supply custom and additional vocabularies, chromotifs, references, and related elaboration upon the present disclosure, and thus such matter falls clearly within the purview hereof. Additionally, the disclosed optical encoding techniques are applicable at any surface area size, and the disclosed symbolic structure may be employed through symbols that are non-optical. Thus, miniaturization of the surface area occupied by data blots or usage of the compound matrix and related structures disclosed herein in a non-optical encoding system falls clearly within the purview hereof.
Additionally, the techniques used herein can be used to create artworks of which the coloring, through custom chromotif, serves not only as art, but also as information-bearing matter.

Pescatarian restaurantPosted on 08 / 24 / 2007
Village has a separate vegan section in the Japanese menu, but not in the English menu. The menu overall is pescatarian--no meat, but includes fish, eggs, and milk. We took the bus to Kamihatecho stop in front of the art college, which is at the very northwest edge of the area covered by the all-day 500 yen bus cards. From there you can walk north for a bit and find Village on top of a ramen place called Tenkaippin, which has moving orange lights around its sign.
Cons: vegan menu in Japanese, some customers smoke

Anaheim goaltender Victor Fasth turned aside all 31 Colorado shots and the Ducks posted a 3-0 win in Denver last night to improve to 7-1-1. Fasth has won his last three starts and allowed two total goals in them. More impressively, he dealt San Jose its first regulation loss of the season and kept Minnesota at bay as well. Sheldon Souray led the Ducks with a goal and an assist in the win. Souray has now scored in three straight games so the veteran defenseman is piling up the points for your team if you have him. It was a light night on ice so let's check out the other two games. Tyler Seguin and David Krejci scored third-period goals to lift the Bruins to a 2-1 over Montreal. Tuukka Rask improved to 6-1-1 stopping 20 of 21 Canadien shots for his second straight win. Boston's goals in the first 2:05 of the third erased the lead that P.K. Subban staked Montreal to. Dallas slipped past Edmonton 3-2 in overtime on a Jaromir Jagr goal 1:46 into overtime. Jagr and Jamie Benn each had a g...

The Purrfect Day
Every crazy cat lady ought to have her day. And lucky us, that day has arrived. Meow.
Cat Lady Kiera and Cat Man Zach were married a gorgeous summer afternoon in a kitty-infiltrated ceremony at The Washbow in Culver City.
"I loved the perfect cat eye look Beautilitarian was giving me, but knew something was up when someone handed me these gorgeous sequined kitty ears in lieu of a veil. I kind of freaked out. In a good way," said Kiera. "I met my wedding planner in person only a few times, we mostly planned everything in my pajamas over skype, and it was a dream situation to plan every step of the way with our cats."
As it turned out, her wedding planner also appointed a cat as a personal assistant, beta-testing Happily Wedding's new planning app. The cat was unavailable for comment at the time of the interview, but did later school us through a series of adorable text messages on how Kitty-officiated weddings ought to be done.
Kiera's eyes teared up. "It's just so surreal, knowing that a sweet and adorable cat with her fuzzy little hands and twitchy little tail was helping us plan the best day of my life! It made getting married that much more meaningful."
Zach held Kiera's hand, because at this point, she was having difficulty speaking. "In other words, she was really happy with her wedding," he said. "I don't know how you guys got those custom-made cake toppers and that confetti – "
"The confetti," Kiera agreed. "It was Gaga on steroids. And then I saw the itty bitty kitties at the foot of our wedding cakes and then hiding on the shelves, poking out of the sign, I – I can't, I just can't!"
In a surprise move, their wedding planner had arranged for the arrival of orphan kitties to attend and bear witness to the happy L.A. ceremony.
"And there were big ones and small ones and a mama one asking us to take it home with us!" Kiera cut in.
Zach said, "Seeing Kiera, freaking out over all those cats and pawing through the kitty-themed stationary – "
"It said 'FURR-ever.' 'Furrever.' It was freaking romantic is what it was," said Kiera.
" – it reminded me of how I fell in love with her," he said, petting his new wife's hand. "I really love this woman. And to our wedding planner, I'm just so grateful. There was nothing we wanted more than to have a bunch of cats to come and bless our wedding. It was amazing."
Once she connected with Kiera through email several times, the wedding planner and her assistant Miss Giggles used her early access with Happily's new planning app to create a kitty-themed battle plan.
"It waz so easy. And efficient. Kittehs love efficiency. Except when diztracted by Irrezistible things," Miss Giggles wrote back to us. "The app iz very irrezistible thing. Recommended!!!"
According to the wedding planner, it's important to understand that kittens need their cat naps -- hence, the wedding needs to planned around your feline guests and not the other way around. Since it's an honor to have throngs of kitties celebrating your undying love for your future husband or future wife, apparently it's the least a human can do to show the proper level of respect and appreciation. Finding out when your guests' nap times are ahead of time will ensure that the kitties arrive on time, in good moods and full of playful energy.
About 50 guests with a budget of roughly $25,000.

Onboard LAN
Ok, i have just (about 2 days ago) installed RedHat 9.0....
And im trying to get my Onboard LAN to work....
I have the Mercury KNU400X-L Mainboard with the Nforce2 Chipset....
I have downloaded and installed the
"NVIDIA_nforce-1.0-0261.rh90up_2.4.20_6.athlon.rpm" drivers, but i still can't get it to work....when i try to add in the ethernet device its not in the list of network cards...
What (if anything) am i doing wrong???
so.....should i give up now????
can nobody help me????
What's your kernel version? If it's 2.4.20-8 like mine (at a terminal, type uname -r, and you'll know your kernel version), then the driver you downloaded is not compatible with your kernel.
You have to download the source rpm labeled as NVIDIA_nforce-1.0-0261.src.rpm, http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/n...0-0261.src.rpm and compile it. The command is rpmbuild --rebuild (filename above). Then install the compiled rpm with the rpm -ivh command.
After compilation, check out the last lines as it will show where the compiler placed the compiled driver for your kernel. Then install this instead.
Do this in a terminal window, type su -, then type your root password, then compile the source rpm. Download or read the HTML help file for better clarification.
Check out your /etc/modules.conf and see if alias eth0 nvnet is included in this configuration. I use gedit to view the config file.
Read carefully the HTML, http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/n..._1.0-0261.html
Is your lan card enabled in the BIOS?
Thanks spolarium, thats just what i needed!!!
Glad to be of help I had the same problem :).
I have tried the rpmbuild function, and I get alot of output that says dereferencing points to incomplete type. . .
then at the end it says bad exit status from and rpm.tmp file. I assume that it did not build correctly any ideas on how I could fix this so I can get my lan working?
i tried the rpm -rebuild ****.rpm
and the rpmbuild -rebuild ****.rpm
commands and neither worked!!!
i put the "alias nvnet eth0"
line in that file (im on my windows system, so i can't check specifics.....) and it shows up in the network config ok, but when i try to activate it it says the device is not connected or something.....
should i format my H/D and reinstall RedHat, cause i might have messed it up a little with the first drivers that i tried to install...

1799 Draped Bust Dollar, MS631799 $1 7x6 Stars MS63 PCGS. B-18, BB-154, R.4. Bowers-Borckardt Die State III. A series-record mintage of 423,515 Draped Bust silver dollars was accomplished in 1799, but some of the coins may have been dated 1798. Twenty two die varieties are known for the date, including three overdate die marriages. This coin represents the BB-154 variety, with the bust positioned right of center, so the top curl is centered under the space between E and R in LIBERTY. On most specimens of BB-154 a heavy die crack is seen between E and D in UNITED, stretching across the wing to the top of the shield. Fewer than four examples have been reported without the diagnostic crack. The obverse die was also used to strike the BB-155 variety, while this was the only use of the reverse die.
Elusive B-18, BB-154 Variety
Probably Finest Known BB-154
Elusive B-18, BB-154 Variety
Probably Finest Known BB-154
The BB-154 is the second rarest variety of the date. John W. Haseltine listed it as H-18 and called it "a very rare variety" in his 1881 Type Table. M. H. Bolender classified it as B-18 and rated it "... extremely rare. Rarity 6." A few more examples have surfaced over the years, but the surviving population numbers no more than 60-100 examples in all grades today. Most examples seen are well-worn and Mint State pieces are extremely rare. This coin is the number one example in Q. David Bowers' list of Notable Specimens and almost certainly the finest known of the variety.
The coin offered here is a delightful Select specimen, with crisp detail on all design elements and well-preserved surfaces that show only minor signs of contact. A shallow scrape under the R in LIBERTY is mentioned for pedigree purposes. Pleasing shades of russet, gold, teal, and bluish-gray toning blanket both sides, with flashes of original luster underneath. No planchet adjustment marks are present, and eye appeal is outstanding. This coin should find a home in the finest variety collection of early dollars.

If we eat lunch when we get there and ride around a little and head home I would say we would be at the Commodore Barry Bridge around 3:30ish.
If we do some sight seeing then add about another 3 hours to that.
That's the best I can come up with right now.
We are kind of just making this up as we go along!

Just a heads up on what to expect Saturday. $
$4.00 - Delaware Memorial Bridge, one way toll headed into DE.
$20.00 - For Good and Plenty all you can eat Smorgasbord. Unless someone has a better (cheaper) idea. That seems to be the going price for these places.
$7.50 - Tour a replica of the Hebrew Tabernacle built by Moses and the gang. It is at the Mennonite Information Center, which is free, and there is plenty to look at there if you do not want to see the Tabernacle. I will say that it is very interesting though. And this is right behind Tanger Outlet Stores if you prefer to shop while we take the tour, which isn't long.
That is pretty much the order of our ride.
So we will be headed home after the Information Center.
I just printed out a $2.00 off coupons for Good 'N Plenty, so that should help a little !!!!

The pictures from our June ride to Lancaster, PA.
One of the nicest rides I think I have been on.
The scenery was great and the roads were nice.
Well, after we got past Newark, Delaware anyway !
We went straight down Route 40 to the Delaware Memorial Bridge.
Took Route 9 South to Route 273 which took us out through Newark, DE.
That hooked us up with 896 and North to Strassburg, PA.
Here is some scenery along the way to Lancaster.
Amish plowing their field.
Beautiful farms everywhere.
Passed several horse and buggies on the way.
Took this picture when we were here in March in the "Vehicle".
A group of at least 10 CanAms road by us just before we got to Strassburg, PA..
I think they were CanAms.
They looked a little shorter then I remember.
Farms Farms everywhere !!!
You can see a gray puff of smoke on the horizon in the middle of the picture.
That is from the steam train for Strassburg Railroad.
The brown strip to the right of that is the train cars.
We road by Strassburg Railroad and across the street is the Pennsylvania Railroad Museum.
Good Humor truck outside of the museum.
Beautiful weather and beautiful scenery.
I will make two posts out of this ride.
Next is our stops.

We only planned a couple of stops for this ride.
We were more interested in riding and seeing the great scenery than being tourists.
We stopped for lunch at a place called Isaac's.
Just up the street from the Strassburg Railroad.
Beings there were only two bikes on this ride we decided to stop here instead of Good N' Plenty.
This was nice and cheaper. $$
The dining area looks like a railroad car.
They have this thing for flamingos !
Lunch !
A chicken salad wrap with almonds and cranberries in it.
It was very good.
All of their menu choices had bird names attached to them.
I forget what they called this one.
Isaac's is located at the Choo Choo Barn.
I guess that explains the train motif.
I know, I should have gotten inside and got my picture taken, right?
More great views even across the street.
From there we road to the Mennonite Information Center where they have a full size replica of
the Tabernacle that God instructed Moses to build after they left Egypt and camped at Mount Sinai.
This shows priest doing their ministry at the Alter and Laver.
The information center is located right next to the always popular Tanger Outlets (which we did not stop at!).
You could not take pictures inside the rest of the tour but they have plenty of information for you to look at and buy.
-Top left is a painting of what the Hebrew encampment may have looked like.
-Top right is their representation of the Ark of the Covenant, which God instructed Moses to
put the Tablets that contained the Ten Commandments that God wrote with His own finger.
-Bottom is a view of the inside of the Tabernacle: left is the Lampstand, right is
the Table of Showbread, center is the Alter of Incense with Aaron the High Priest.
Behind the curtain was the Holy of Holies where the Ark of the Covenant was located.
Time to roll again, and head towards home.
The fabric shows the size of the courtyard for the Tabernacle.
This would have been its entrance.
We went through Gap, PA.
You can not miss their clock tower.
We took some great roads along a creek on the way home.
Too many roads to post here.
Lets just say we started at Gap, PA and ended up on Route 1 in Chadds Ford, PA.
Camera battery died here so no more woodsy pictures.
We took Route 1 to Route 322 and came back across the Commodore Barry Bridge into NJ.
If interested in any information here are a few links.

Nice! Beautiful country out there and 896 is a really nice way to bypass Route 30.
With all the flamingos at Issac's are you sure that was a chicken salad wrap?

Our next ride is planned for Saturday July 20, 2013.
The next day, July 21, 2013, is pretty busy at our church with a Professional Freestyle Motocross team, which will be doing two different shows. I believe they said 2:00 and 4:00. This part is free. And Pizza Pizzazz will be selling pizza if you get hungry.
After that is the Andy Mineo Concert at 7:00 PM. He is a Christian Hip-Hop artist. This requires a ticket and is $10 in advance or $12 at the door.
Not to mention our regular three services that morning. 8:30; 10:00 & 11:45 Am.
So the day before, Saturday, I was planning on doing the ride that almost got rained out last year where we went to the Nothnagle Log Cabin (the oldest standing wooden structure in the Western Hemisphere) They do have tours of the inside. If we are interested as a group I will check into it. The First Federal Land Purchase made July 5, 1776 is not far, and lunch at the old Woodbury Train Station. After lunch we will stop at Fort Mercer in National Park, NJ.
This is a fairly local trip so we won't tire anybody out for the festivities the next day.
Usual start time of 8:30 AM at the Buena WAWA at the intersection of Routes 40 & 54.
Hope we can have a decent group for this ride this year.

July 20, 2013 Throttling UP Ride.
This is the same ride we did last year in August when we only had one other bike show up.
So I decided to go ahead and do it again.
We got one more bike then last year !
The weather wasn't too bad.
Perhaps a bit hot when sitting still.
I thought we should bring this guy along to keep us cool !
A few Classic Cars came in just before we left.
We had a beautiful ride through Salem County back road farm fields.
Then into the less scenic area by the Delaware Memorial Bridge.
Up Route 130 to Route 44, which in that area isn't too bad.
We pretty much had a four lane highway to ourselves beings everyone takes I-295 now.
We reach our first stop at the Nothnagle Log House in Gibbstown.
This is considered the oldest standing wooden structure in the Western Hemisphere.
The gray section closest to us is the original structure.
A one room log cabin basically, which is now 375 years old!
Looks like angels are watching over us.
On to our next stop, which was not too far.
There once stood a fort here.
The land was the first land purchased by our newly formed government on July 5, 1776.
Overlooking the Delaware River to defend Philadelphia.
Across the river today you can see planes taking off from Philadelphia International Airport.
You can see Philadelphia in the haze in the background.
Today the land that is left is sandwiched between two oil tank fields !
There was a nice breeze blowing.
Unfortunately the smell was not the greatest at times.
We parked in the shade we could find.
This is looking back from the entrance.
I don't think any of us were planning on coming back on a week night.
Got detoured by a train sitting on the tracks.
And off to lunch.
The Woodbury Station Cafe in the old Woodbury Train Station built in 1883.
They have put up some beautiful stained glass windows.
And an old picture of the station from about the same angle.
Then off to Fort Mercer in National Park.
Once again, I have posted pictures of these things before, but I wanted to document this trip as well.
The above picture is the new Battle Monument which is inside the earthworks of where Fort Mercer was.
The original Battle Monument placed here in 1829 is inside this shelter.
We took a walk down by the Delaware River in the nice park that is here.
The bridge in the background is the double decker Girard Point Bridge for I-95 that leads to the Philadelphia Airport.
You can see a little island to the left.
People were boating and swimming.
Even kayaking !
It was beautiful down here by the river with a nice breeze blowing and so peaceful.
We did not want to leave.
In front of us you could see the planes coming in to land at Philadelphia International Airport.
To the right you could see the old Philadelphia Navy Yard and some ships that are still docked there.
This is the USS John F. Kennedy Aircraft Carrier CV-67.
Back up the hill to our bikes.
This is one of the many cannons on display here.
We did a short devotional using the old building we had seen earlier that day.
I had thought about that old log home that someone built never thinking it would be
around 375 years later for some people on motorized vehicles riding by to look at.
It made me think of what kind of legacy I will leave behind.
I was not thinking about what I will leave behind physically.
My home or money or even my precious PC motorcycle.
I was wondering how people will remember me when I am gone.
What kind of legacy will I leave behind?
What it ultimately comes down to is who I am on the inside.
These people did not build their house to stand on the outside and look at and admire their handywork.
They built it so they could live and survive on the inside.
What is our greatest asset?
Christ in you, the hope of glory. Colossians 1:26-27.
It is not about what we can do that makes us who we are.
Man looks on the outward appearance, but God looks on the heart.
Hebrews chapter 11 we call the Hall of Faith because those people believed God and followed through on that faith.
Am I trying to make a name for myself here in this world?
A man's life consists not in the abundance of the things which he possesses. Luke 12:15
As a Christian Faith is our goal.
What did Hebrews chapter 11 people leave behind?
Noah's Ark has still not been found (for sure), but his Faith Story remains.
But you, O man of God,
Follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. Fight the good fight
of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto you area also called and have professed a
good profession before many witnesses. 1 Timothy 6:11-12.
Am I leaving behind Log Cabins?
Or am I leaving behind a legacy of faith?

Yes, I am trying to get ahead on this one !
Our next trip is planned for Saturday, August 17, 2013.
The plan is to ride into Bucks County, Pennsylvania and see how far we can get into some nice hilly roads before stopping for lunch and turning around and heading for home.
Currently I have no set destination.
That is on my list of things to do.
Stay tuned.
If anyone has any suggestions please post them.
Thank you.

Ride is set for this Saturday.
Starting in Buena, at the WAWA of course as usual.
Heading North up 54 to 206 to 29 and cross over into Pennsylvania over a free bridge, which means it has a steel grate on it. I've been over it several times before. It's a little shakey, but not bad!
Head North still along the Delaware River to Washingtons Crossing at the Visitors Center which has bathrooms, a small museum and a large painting of Washington Crossing the Delaware . Or at least they had all of that, they recently renovated, but I do know they still have bathrooms because I called.
Keep heading North and then North West into upper Bucks County. We will go through two Covered Bridges. We can stop and take pictures so that will give us another break.
Then keep riding NW and around Quakertown and then head SW to lunch at the Carriage House Restaurant in East Greenville, PA. Prices are decent and the food looks good, and it is in an old house built around 1740.
A short jaunt to get Gas at 130 miles into our trip at a WAWA.
Then head South into Pottstown and then head South East to the Commodore Barry Bridge (NO TOLL) and stop at the WAWA in Swedesboro on 322 which puts us about 45 minutes from Buena.
Then head for Buena on some more back roads.
Total trip is 213 miles.
YES, a bit longer than most of our rides.
But we wanted to get into some nice areas for riding, without being crazy!
Ought to be a nice fun trip.
Let us know if you can make it.
Leaving Buena at 8:30 as usual.
It is a 6 hour ride time plus lunch, Washingtons Crossing and gas, so we should be home by Midnight !
Just kidding,
Should be home around 5:30.
Way before it gets dark.
Looking forward to it.
Come join us.

It should take us 1 1/2 hours to get to Washingtons Crossing so we should be there at 10.
We should be there for at least a half an hour looking around.
