Burger with the Lot!
G'day Phil,
The missus ordered the works burger for Christmas, but has only given me the first 2 DVD so far...
I've only watched the C2C one so far - all good. I think Russ or Lentil put me onto the DVD's - buggered if I knew they existed.
I was watching the C2C disc a few nights ago, hearing reference to Don & TK's previous record. It wasn't until I hit the sack (mind ticking over) that it occurred to me I work with a Don C. I checked out the article in the 'Extras' on the disc (thanks for the tip Fogo!) & bugger me it is Don from work. I knew he was into dirt bikes, but didn't know of his legendary status amongst the adventure riding fraternity.
Anyhow, thanks for the effort with putting these together.

Shell-Total consortium strikes landmark Saudi gas exploration deal
The Saudi government signed an landmark agreement with Royal Dutch/Shell group of companies and Total to form a joint venture with the Kingdom's own Aramco company for the exploration of gas in an area of 200,000 square kilometers in the southern part of the Rub Al-Khali (the Empty Quarter).
The consortium is the first ever estern oil company to win rights to the vast energy reserves in Saudi Arabia, which were nationalized three decades ago. Consortium leader Shell will retain a participation of 40 percent of the new joint venture, with Saudi Aramco and Total each holding 30 percent participation.
Jeroen van der Veer, president of Royal Dutch and vice chairman of the Royal Dutch/Shell Group of Companies, and Alain Lechevalier, vice president Middle East, Exploration & Production of Total finalized the agreement with Saudi Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources Ali bin Ibrahim Al-Naimi.
"This agreement is an important breakthrough as it heralds the first time after the creation of Saudi Aramco that foreign International Oil Companies have gained access to gas acreage in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, holder of the world's largest reserves of oil and gas. Shell, on behalf of the consortium, is naturally proud to be part of this historic moment," van der Veer commented.
"Total is pleased to have signed this new agreement to enter Saudi Arabia and to be associated for the first time with Saudi Aramco, the largest producer and exporter of oil in the world. This agreement constitutes an important step in Total's strategy in the Middle-East", says Christophe de Margerie, Total executive vice president, President of Exploration and Production. — (menareport.com)

Destiny: Gods of Night by David Mack Review Thread (Spoilers!)

Re: Star Trek: Destiny: Gods of Night - SPOILER Thread
I understand that a CMO can give medically related orders to anyone. Nevertheless, I am sure (or at least, that should be the case!) an officer also has the right to refuse a medical order that is illegal. There should be limits. In the past a captain could order a Vulcan to force a mind meld with someone else. This is finally illegal now. Deanna didn`t have cancer and refused to get the tumour removed. We are talking about an unborn baby. From Dr. Ree`s point of view it is doomed, badly mutated and first of all a danger to its mother. Nevertheless, it is still a baby that isn`t dead yet. I most definitely would classify Dr. Ree`s order as an illegal order. If he would have pushed her any further I am sure she would have resigned and Riker would have done the same. I just wish this would have been spelled out in the books – at least I haven`t seen it yet.
After having posted this I saw David Mack`s posting. Some more comments:
Even a higher risk of ovarian cancer does not give Dr. Ree any right to demand a hysterectomy here and now. Maybe a hysterectomy is a good idea in a few years after Riker and Deanna had children. Until then strict observation should be sufficient.
That Dr. Ree first asked and then ordered doesn`t make the orders any more acceptable in my opinion.
Well, what is necessary medical treatment? An immediate hysterectomy certainy wouldn`t be. Otherwise, I think I already made my point.

Events this week: MAM lecture; Bay View Wine Fest; WingFest
MAM founding works
Before the Calatrava, before the Kahler, before the War Memorial Center, there was the Layton Art Gallery. And without Frederick Layton and the gallery, we wouldn't have the others. The Milwaukee Art Museum, 700 N. Art Museum Drive, which is rooted by the Layton collection, is paying tribute to the man and his gallery with a 125th anniversary exhibition. In the Gallery 10 and the Decorative Arts Gallery, MAM will display the works upon which the museum was founded. And the Baumgartner Galleria will display items that illustrate the history of MAM. Sunday at 2 p.m. in the Lubar Auditorium, guest lecturer Giles Waterfield will discuss "The Role of Private Patrons" in Layton's development of his collection. The lecture is free with general admission. »Read Full Article

Milwaukee band Revomatics re-create '60s surfer music
Like Carly Rae Jepsen and Robin Thicke, the Revomatics' sound is strongly affiliated with summer. But in the Revomatics' case, it's the sound of summer from 50 years ago.
"Surf music is the punk rock of the early 1960s," said bassist Peter Flessas of the local surf-rock band. "It was dynamic music, but it was all instrumental, and you didn't have to have a big budget. It enabled young musicians to get their music out there." »Read Full Article(2)

A Day for Detroit: U.S. critics celebrate an imperiled art collection
People do not give works of art to museums. Donors of great works of art give their treasurers to the cities they love, to the school children on yellow buses, the couples on dates, the artists and would-be artists, the seniors on a Sunday afternoon.
In a very real sense, the art in our museums belongs to us. It is a public trust. This simple truth is at the core of a foundational ethic within the museum world that prohibits museums from selling works of art to pay off debts. »Read Full Blog Post(4)

Control Mechanisms and Recovery Techniques for Real-Time Data Transmission Over the Internet.
Date: August 2002
Creator: Battula, Venkata Krishna Rao
Description: Streaming multimedia content with UDP has become popular over distributed systems such as an Internet. This may encounter many losses due to dropped packets or late arrivals at destination since UDP can only provide best effort delivery. Even UDP doesn't have any self-recovery mechanism from congestion collapse or bursty loss to inform sender of the data to adjust future transmission rate of data like in TCP. So there is a need to incorporate various control schemes like forward error control, interleaving, and congestion control and error concealment into real-time transmission to prevent from effect of losses. Loss can be repaired by retransmission if roundtrip delay is allowed, otherwise error concealment techniques will be used based on the type and amount of loss. This paper implements the interleaving technique with packet spacing of varying interleaver block size for protecting real-time data from loss and its effect during transformation across the Internet. The packets are interleaved and maintain some time gap between two consecutive packets before being transmitted into the Internet. Thus loss of packets can be reduced from congestion and preventing loss of consecutive packets of information when a burst of several packets are lost. Several experiments have been conducted with ...

Convexity-Preserving Scattered Data Interpolation
Date: December 1995
Creator: Leung, Nim Keung
Description: Surface fitting methods play an important role in many scientific fields as well as in computer aided geometric design. The problem treated here is that of constructing a smooth surface that interpolates data values associated with scattered nodes in the plane. The data is said to be convex if there exists a convex interpolant. The problem of convexity-preserving interpolation is to determine if the data is convex, and construct a convex interpolant if it exists.

Cross Language Information Retrieval for Languages with Scarce Resources
Date: May 2009
Creator: Loza, Christian
Description: Our generation has experienced one of the most dramatic changes in how society communicates. Today, we have online information on almost any imaginable topic. However, most of this information is available in only a few dozen languages. In this thesis, I explore the use of parallel texts to enable cross-language information retrieval (CLIR) for languages with scarce resources. To build the parallel text I use the Bible. I evaluate different variables and their impact on the resulting CLIR system, specifically: (1) the CLIR results when using different amounts of parallel text; (2) the role of paraphrasing on the quality of the CLIR output; (3) the impact on accuracy when translating the query versus translating the collection of documents; and finally (4) how the results are affected by the use of different dialects. The results show that all these variables have a direct impact on the quality of the CLIR system.

Cuff-less Blood Pressure Measurement Using a Smart Phone
Date: May 2012
Creator: Jonnada, Srikanth
Description: Blood pressure is vital sign information that physicians often need as preliminary data for immediate intervention during emergency situations or for regular monitoring of people with cardiovascular diseases. Despite the availability of portable blood pressure meters in the market, they are not regularly carried by people, creating a need for an ultra-portable measurement platform or device that can be easily carried and used at all times. One such device is the smartphone which, according to comScore survey is used by 26.2% of the US adult population. the mass production of these phones with built-in sensors and high computation power has created numerous possibilities for application development in different domains including biomedical. Motivated by this capability and their extensive usage, this thesis focuses on developing a blood pressure measurement platform on smartphones. Specifically, I developed a blood pressure measurement system on a smart phone using the built-in camera and a customized external microphone. the system consists of first obtaining heart beats using the microphone and finger pulse with the camera, and finally calculating the blood pressure using the recorded data. I developed techniques for finding the best location for obtaining the data, making the system usable by all categories of people. ...

DADS - A Distributed Agent Delivery System
Date: December 2002
Creator: Cozzolino, Clifford Joseph
Description: Mobile agents require an appropriate platform that can facilitate their migration and execution. In particular, the design and implementation of such a system must balance several factors that will ensure that its constituent agents are executed without problems. Besides the basic requirements of migration and execution, an agent system must also provide mechanisms to ensure the security and survivability of an agent when it migrates between hosts. In addition, the system should be simple enough to facilitate its widespread use across large scale networks (i.e Internet). To address these issues, this thesis discusses the design and implementation of the Distributed Agent Delivery System (DADS). The DADS provides a de-coupled design that separates agent acceptance from agent execution. Using functional modules, the DADS provides services ranging from language execution and security to fault-tolerance and compression. Modules allow the administrator(s) of hosts to declare, at run-time, the services that they want to provide. Since each administrative domain is different, the DADS provides a platform that can be adapted to exchange heterogeneous blends of agents across large scale networks.

Ddos Defense Against Botnets in the Mobile Cloud
Date: May 2014
Creator: Jensen, David
Description: Mobile phone advancements and ubiquitous internet connectivity are resulting in ever expanding possibilities in the application of smart phones. Users of mobile phones are now capable of hosting server applications from their personal devices. Whether providing services individually or in an ad hoc network setting the devices are currently not configured for defending against distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks. These attacks, often launched from a botnet, have existed in the space of personal computing for decades but recently have begun showing up on mobile devices. Research is done first into the required steps to develop a potential botnet on the Android platform. This includes testing for the amount of malicious traffic an Android phone would be capable of generating for a DDoS attack. On the other end of the spectrum is the need of mobile devices running networked applications to develop security against DDoS attacks. For this mobile, phones are setup, with web servers running Apache to simulate users running internet connected applications for either local ad hoc networks or serving to the internet. Testing is done for the viability of using commonly available modules developed for Apache and intended for servers as well as finding baseline capabilities of ...

Design and Analysis of Novel Verifiable Voting Schemes
Date: December 2013
Creator: Yestekov, Yernat
Description: Free and fair elections are the basis for democracy, but conducting elections is not an easy task. Different groups of people are trying to influence the outcome of the election in their favor using the range of methods, from campaigning for a particular candidate to well-financed lobbying. Often the stakes are too high, and the methods are illegal. Two main properties of any voting scheme are the privacy of a voter's choice and the integrity of the tally. Unfortunately, they are mutually exclusive. Integrity requires making elections transparent and auditable, but at the same time, we must preserve a voter's privacy. It is always a trade-off between these two requirements. Current voting schemes favor privacy over auditability, and thus, they are vulnerable to voting fraud. I propose two novel voting systems that can achieve both privacy and verifiability. The first protocol is based on cryptographical primitives to ensure the integrity of the final tally and privacy of the voter. The second protocol is a simple paper-based voting scheme that achieves almost the same level of security without usage of cryptography.

The Design and Implementation of a Prolog Parser Using Javacc
Date: August 2002
Creator: Gupta, Pankaj
Description: Operatorless Prolog text is LL(1) in nature and any standard LL parser generator tool can be used to parse it. However, the Prolog text that conforms to the ISO Prolog standard allows the definition of dynamic operators. Since Prolog operators can be defined at run-time, operator symbols are not present in the grammar rules of the language. Unless the parser generator allows for some flexibility in the specification of the grammar rules, it is very difficult to generate a parser for such text. In this thesis we discuss the existing parsing methods and their modified versions to parse languages with dynamic operator capabilities. Implementation details of a parser using Javacc as a parser generator tool to parse standard Prolog text is provided. The output of the parser is an "Abstract Syntax Tree" that reflects the correct precedence and associativity rules among the various operators (static and dynamic) of the language. Empirical results are provided that show that a Prolog parser that is generated by the parser generator like Javacc is comparable in efficiency to a hand-coded parser.

The Design and Implementation of an Intelligent Agent-Based File System
Date: May 2000
Creator: Hopper, S. Andrew
Description: As bandwidth constraints on LAN/WAN environments decrease, the demand for distributed services will continue to increase. In particular, the proliferation of user-level applications requiring high-capacity distributed file storage systems will demand that such services be universally available. At the same time, the advent of high-speed networks have made the deployment of application and communication solutions based upon an Intelligent Mobile Agent (IMA) framework practical. Agents have proven to present an ideal development paradigm for the creation of autonomous large-scale distributed systems, and an agent-based communication scheme would facilitate the creation of independently administered distributed file services. This thesis thus outlines an architecture for such a distributed file system based upon an IMA communication framework.

Design and Implementation of Large-Scale Wireless Sensor Networks for Environmental Monitoring Applications
Date: May 2010
Creator: Yang, Jue
Description: Environmental monitoring represents a major application domain for wireless sensor networks (WSN). However, despite significant advances in recent years, there are still many challenging issues to be addressed to exploit the full potential of the emerging WSN technology. In this dissertation, we introduce the design and implementation of low-power wireless sensor networks for long-term, autonomous, and near-real-time environmental monitoring applications. We have developed an out-of-box solution consisting of a suite of software, protocols and algorithms to provide reliable data collection with extremely low power consumption. Two wireless sensor networks based on the proposed solution have been deployed in remote field stations to monitor soil moisture along with other environmental parameters. As parts of the ever-growing environmental monitoring cyberinfrastructure, these networks have been integrated into the Texas Environmental Observatory system for long-term operation. Environmental measurement and network performance results are presented to demonstrate the capability, reliability and energy-efficiency of the network.

The Rules Have Changed
Super Monday Night Combat isn't a shooter, per se. I mean, it has shooting, quite a lot, actually, but it doesn't fit neatly into any single shooter bucket. While it's third person, and you're playing five on five, team versus team, the actual game plays a lot like League of Legends, even to the point of having the same character unlock scheme. While I'm all for a free game, if you really like a character, you might feel like putting down two~five dollars to buy them outright, because otherwise you will be at the mercy of the rotation system.
There's only one mode so far, with a promise of more to come, probably. In any case, this mode is exactly like DOTA, if DOTA was a third person shooter-future-gameshow-thing. Each level has two lanes (colloquially, left lane and right lane) and each supplies a stream of robots that eventually head to the enemy base. You can't outpace the bots, because there are turrets that block your progress, just as there are towers that will kill you in any DOTA-like. You can buy temporary boons at stations across the level, bigger robots at your base, or every five minutes, you can unleash a giant satellite laser that can destroy all enemy robots and cripple the other team's players. That one is really good, and characters usually have to fight for it. Lastly, each base has a single item that must be destroyed. Once you destroy it, you win the game. If the other team destroys your's, you lose. Each match takes about 20 minutes.
Economically, this is either the cheapest, or most expensive games you own. Like League of Legends, the characters rotate in and out of availability. The only characters you get permanently are the ones you've bought. I've been playing for two days now, and I have 2500 combat credits, but I need 9000 if I'm going to buy the hero I have my eye on, Captain Spark. Owning a hero, however, doesn't mean you get to use them all the time, as only one character can be used per team. You can also buy skins for your characters, and you can apply them piecemeal to your character, but only if you own the character, and only if you feel like wasting a lot of money on a cosmetic feature.
Generally speaking, this is a good free game, but the content so far seems a little anemic. Considering the game itself came out ahead of schedule, I guess that can be forgiven, though I would like to see additional modes, characters and maps. Considering how dedicated Uber Entertainment has been to this game so far, it's hard to imagine this game not receiving those things, especially when the payment model requires new content to be doled out on regular intervals, to entice players both new and old into paying for characters and costumes. In the meantime, you enjoy the existing content, which is already more than enough.

Would you get annoyed if your girlfriend always talked about babies?
Hi well I'm guilty of always talking about babies to my boyfriend of 2 years And I've tried to stop but I always end up talking about it. Even if... Show More
Thanks guys for your answer
Most Helpful Opinion
Aww look at the baby seems fair enough. That's a natural reaction...
my girlfriend talks about it a ton. to some extent I don't mind because it means that she really feels very serious about me and that is a good thing. at some point though it does just become burdensome and it makes the guy feel like is that all there is. Plus it can be a lot of pressure. Especially at your age (under 18?) I'm surprised a guy would stick around that long if you talk about babies as much as you say you do.
Your position is clear. You want babies. You've made that clear and he should know that is your end game. So dial back talking about it so much or you could scare him away.
What Guys Said 6
If your boyfriend stopped talking about sex would you believe he didn't want it? Remember girls , you ain't daft and neither are we lol
It's fine to want babies and find them cute etc. I actually find that attractive in a woman. The only thing you want to avoid us your boyfriend feeling like you are pressuring him into having kids. If you can avoid that you can cuddle as many babies as you like.
Not only would I get annoyed, I would start my exit strategy from the relationship. I can't understand why women try to domesticate their men before they're ready.
The best way to get and keep a man is to give him enough rope to hang himself. He has to feel "free" around and with you. Not like he's already fully committed to mortgage, kids, and retirement.

On Christianity
Posted: June 25, 2014 at 1:52 a.m.
DEAR REV. GRAHAM: My brother is running away from God as hard as he can, and I don't know what to do. We grew up in a fairly religious home, but we've gone our separate ways and I'm afraid he's going to destroy himself. I've tried praying for him, but it hasn't done any good.
-- M.McF.
DEAR M.McF.: God is able to do what we can't do, and that includes working in another person's life to convict them of sin and draw them to Christ. The Bible says, "The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective" (James 5:16).
And that's why I urge you to keep praying for your brother, even if nothing seems to change. After all, you don't know everything that's going on in his heart; down inside, doubts may be arising about the way he's living -- doubts caused by the work of God's Spirit. Or God may be using your prayers to keep him from even greater harm. From time to time I get letters from people who've prayed for a spouse or other loved one for many years -- and are rejoicing because their prayers have finally been answered.
Also, do all you can to keep contact with your brother -- not to lecture him (which he'd probably resent), but simply to let him know you care. Your love could be an example to him of Christ's love.
At the same time, ask God to give you opportunities to talk with him about the life he's living and where it's likely to end up. Above all, seek to point him to Jesus Christ, who loves him and yearns for him to become part of His family forever. The Bible says, "Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone" (Colossians 4:6).

The Presbyterian News Service reported a series of attacks at Christian sites around Jerusalem this fall. On Oct. 8, assailants threw stones, bottles and garbage at the exterior of St. George Romanian Orthodox Church in Jerusalem. The Franciscan Monastery on Mount Zion was targeted Oct. 2 with graffiti that read "Price Tag" and "Jesus is the son of a whore." Previously, on Sept. 4, assailants set fire to the door of the Roman Catholic Abbaye de Notre-Dame de Sept-Douleurs near Jerusalem and spray-painted "Migron" and "Jesus is a monkey" on the walls. Media attributed the vandalism to Israeli settlers and "price tag" attacks against Palestinians after the Israeli government evacuated Migron and other illegal settlements in the West Bank.

1997 Honda Accord Q&A
1997 Honda Accord Question: screeching sound when driving
My car is making a high pitch screeching noise (occasionally) when driving along the road at about 25mph in a straight line. This occurs when I am not applying the brakes. I cannot tell if it is coming from the front or rear wheels but I have the EX so it has disc brakes on both axles. I am aware of some early cracks in the CV boots but I don't think they are busted open. Any idea what this might be? - speedybrick
Answer 1
Ripped CV joint boots are unlikely to cause this noise, a bad cv joint would make a rattling, click click sound increasing with velocity of a tight turn. I suspect the noise is either a loose fan belt or even a distributor that is seizing (which I have seen on the Accord at higher mileage) if it is engine related. If the noise is coming from the wheel area each brake pad had a metal finger on it that when it contacts the brake disc makes a high pitched noise. Initially it is more noticeable as the brakes are applied or sometimes when backing up but after a while the noise will be apparent even if the brakes are not applied. - patrick mannion

I just read a draft of Aaron Sorkin's STUDIO 60 ON THE SUNSET STRIP and it is so finely balanced and perfectly judged that I'm about ready to kill myself. Good night.
11 thoughts on "And So To Bed"
Yeah, I read that too. It's chock full of the Awesome. -Jack
The early draft IS fantastic. It was nice to see a promo for it on the last West Wing.
After reading it, I started regarding it as one of my favorite series, despite not actually having SEEN it yet.
This is definitely the show I am most looking forward to next season.
I haven't read it, but I bet the first season will be fun & breezy and the second season will be a titanic shitstorm during which the plot will spiral into the scuppering asshole of mutual loathing and perscription drug abuse between the entire cast of characters.
It's Sorkin's trademark.
Is there a link to the script on the net somewhere?
Found It
Yes, hooray for Google.
I'd like to see that on the air; however, given that what I found was "an early draft" there's no telling what the actual pilot will look like.
But I agree with Michael Sullivan above; if they can keep the edge this draft had and be genuinely satirical without being self-indulgent, this could be one of my favorite shows too.
The draft I read made me feel both like worshipping at Sorkin's computer and hitting him in the head so he stops making everybody else look ill. Lots of Sports Night in it, which is understandable and awesome.
"Good, 'cause I'm pretty stoned right now and I can't really remember what I said."
Sorkin, you magnificent bastard. I cannot wait.
Don't worry, Warren: Americans don't like "finely balanced and perfectly judged," so the show will no doubt die after a good four to seven episodes.
The good stuff seldom lasts in this country.

Getting women to pursue technology careers
Event at Qualcomm focuses on encouraging women and girls in engineering, science
Johnson: Because women are so underrepresented, it seems like a natural fit with the demand that we have for more STEM graduates. There are estimates in the next five years that the demand for computer science positions is going to double, and at the pace that we're on right now — with both genders — we are not going to be able to keep up. So it just seems like a natural fit to encourage more women to go into these careers.
Q: Why don't more women choose engineering careers?
Hockfield: Women are often motivated by service, by wanting to fix problems, by wanting to help other people. Perhaps that's gender stereotyping. But that is what engineers do. Engineers create the solutions that make the world better for vast numbers of people.
Part of the problem for engineering in the U.S. is it is kind of invisible until you get to college. You don't really encounter engineering. I believe you should, because rather than teaching theoretical physics, we could be teaching practical mechanical engineering and get those math and science concepts down in a really hands-on way that would be far more compelling to young people than the way we teach science and math currently.
And there are people working on engineering curricula for K-12, and I think that is a great approach.
Johnson: In fact, San Diego State is doing Project Lead the Way, in which Qualcomm has been in partnership with them. That gets pre-engineering course work in high schools, so they have heard of it. They take classes along the lines of what Susan was talking about. So when they go to choose a degree, they have some background.
Q: How early should students be introduced to STEM fields?
Johnson: We have a strong interest in the pipeline. It really starts in primary school. In fact, Sally Ride, who spoke on our campus, talked about the fourth grade. If you didn't get the young girls by fourth grade, many times cultural and society biases sort of veer them away.
Hockfield: For me, the critical element is having some exposure — someone who understands these things, someone who loves these things — presented to them when they are young.
High school is really late. It's late because learning math, science and engineering is a sequential process. It's like thinking you can read "Catcher in the Rye" without phonics. If somehow you missed the code for multiplication, which I think many kids miss — they memorize things but they don't understand what happens when you multiply — good luck with physics, good luck with calculus. Just in terms of the logic, good luck with biology.
Q: So STEM should happen even in elementary school.
Hockfield: The whole educational system should include people who are experts at math and math pedagogy.
It isn't for everyone. I don't believe a third-grade teacher who is just great at cajoling children to learn how to read and write is the same person who should be teaching those children math. So I think we need to inject higher quality pedagogy in math and science into the curriculum.

Despite the huge amount of protest that always seems to make the news when it comes to new Islamic centers like the Park51 scandal or the Tennessee mosque fight, new polling suggests that most people are just fine with the idea of a mosque in their neighborhood.
Via Politico:
As two congressional panels turn their attention to the role of Muslims in American life, most Americans say they would be "okay" having a mosque in their community, a poll released Thursday says.
Sixty-nine percent of Americans surveyed for a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll said they would not oppose having a mosque near where they live or work, while 28 percent said they would oppose one.
Positive opinions of American Muslims, though, are less common. Of those surveyed, 46 percent said they have a positive view of American Muslims, while 26 percent said they have an unfavorable view of them. In 2002, just before the first anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, 39 percent of Americans said they had a favorable view of American Muslims.
Favorable views may be less common than people who are ok with having a mosque in the neighborhood, but as the poll shows, the favorables have gone up drastically since the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
And considering how ramped up the anti-Muslim rhetoric in politics has become in the last two years, that only 26 percent of respondents said they had a negative view of Muslims is frankly pretty impressive.

I lived near a mosgue in Morocco, and it really got tiresome with the noise 5 times a day.
Read from accusation 3 onwards:
It is interesting to note that many of these so called "assassinations" reported in Ibn Ishaq's or Tabari's works all have something in common, and that is that because the person who was assassinated insulted the Holy Prophet (S), were assassinated. However, the scholars have looked at reports like this and have concluded:
All such reports, as ascribe the execution of others merely to their having harrased the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in the past, have Ibn Ishaq as the last narrator at the top; and in the terminology of the traditionalists such reports are called Mursal and are not to be relied on."
(Source: Sirat-Un-Nabi, by Allama Shibli Nu'Mani, rendered into English by M. Tayyib Bakhsh Budayuni, Kazi Publications Lahore, Vol. II, p. 199-203, bold and underlined emphasis ours)
Ali Sina can however now run and quote from the Authentic Collections of hadith where it shows that Ka'b bin Al-Ashraf was executed. However, one must note that there were reports that say Ka'b bin Al-Ashraf planned to get the Prophet (S) assassinated, and that he went to Makkah to incite the Pagans to fight the Holy Prophet (S).
@Lydia: Your testimonials have one problem: they are testimonials of people who never understood Islam in the first place. There arguments are NOT cogent as they lived under the false assumption that there are such things as Islamic system.
Firstly, how is Muhammad a paedophile? Ali Sina has his facts wrong as he fails to realise the Hadeeths used (sadly by many Muslims) are fabrications as they originated in Iraq and not in Hijaz region. If you look at the accounts of events by Aisha and her corresponding age, they don't add up hence rendering the argument that she was 6 a lie. Secondly, critics such as Sir William Muir even agree she must have been at least 12 for marriage and Ruqayyah Waris Maqsood and others have proven she was 19 at the age of marriage.
Secondly, Ali Sina regarding the narcissist lie attributes half the quotes that are attributed to God (such as praising him night and day) to Muhammad and hence, he has played around with the pronouns rendering his analysis incorrect. Read this http://muslim-responses.com/Narcissist/Narcissist_
Ali Sina further lies regarding the mass murder of the Jewish tribes. The reason for their expulsion was because they broke the contracts of peace consistently and refused to bring to justice the Jews who humiliated a woman by causing her dress to rip. He also fails to mention how women and children were not killed and the only people killed were those who were combatants aka mature men who would be fighting in a war.
You have failed to meet the challenge ... NOTHING you or other apologists have said, refutes any of the charges I and other decent people have made.
Now THESE folks have made VALID, Cogent arguments, which stand up to scrutiny, and make all YOUR comments WEAK and ILLOGICAL!
You shall know the truth, and the TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE!
Peace and Love ... ONLY outside islam!
@Lydia: How was Quran 2:256 abrogated in any way? There is no abrogation there! In fact there are probably about five "abrogations" in the whole Quran, the maximum being 20 but scholars have resolved them.
You clearly don't understand the Quran. It's like me giving you a book on fluid dynamics and you just spewing stuff out without understanding .
If you look objectively, there are many non Muslims who upon leaving their original faith, are ostracised by there family, kicked out their homes, friends leave them etc. it is NOT an Islamic problem.
You may well have read the Quran but do you understand it?
Again there are NO ISLAMIC COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD! I HAVE REFUTED THIS ARGUMENT TOO MANY TIMES NOW!
Where is it illegal to own a Bible eh? Tell that to the Christians of Palestine, Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan etc.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
The Qur'an, the central religious text of Islam, contains references to over fifty people and events also found in the Bible. While the stories told in each book are generally comparable in most respects, important differences sometimes emerge.
While the Bible is held to have once reflected true revelation from God, Muslims argue that it became distorted (in Arabic: tahrif) over the centuries, both in its narrative and (more importantly) in its message; this necessitated the giving of the Qur'an to Muhammad, to correct such deviations.
Thus, Muslims generally hold that the Qur'an is always more authoritative than the Bible. Anything in the Bible that agrees with the Qur'an is accepted, and anything in the Bible that disagrees with the Qur'an is rejected.
Many stories in the Bible are not mentioned at all in the Qur'an; with regard to such passages, Muslims are instructed to neither believe nor disbelieve in them, but they are allowed to read them and pass them on if they wish to do so.
The you tube link I am attaching is not meant to aim to critize those who chose to believe in the trinity spoken of in the bible,for it is their personal decision which I respect. I nevertheless wish to post it because it is a small documentary to be reflected upon by those who wish to do so.
@ Sakib H ... My silence is neither "deafening" nor a result of you "presenting any facts". You continue to offer the same disingenuous "PABLUM" as you have before, but it's neither factual nor accurate. Therefore, as I said before, you fail completely to provide any cogent "evidence".
Surah 2:256 was abrogated by the verses of the "Sword". While their numbers were small, muslims were peaceful (a tactic repeated to this day!) Once their numbers grew, muslims started wars against ALL their neighbors, spreading terror & bloodshed & forcibly converting people to islam. This continues today!
You act as if there is no information, no knowledge available to people. I have read the koran, I have read the Bible. I have studied comparative religion - ONLY islam continues to use violence to this day, beheading, bombing, murdering! People are murdered to cries of "allahu akhbar" ... innocents are beheaded, girls/women are raped.
NOTHING YOU WRITE WILL CHANGE THESE FACTS! I have presented evidence which you refuse to see. YOUR OPINIONS are NOT facts! Your beliefs are deeply ingrained indoctrination! YOU HAVE NEVER READ THE BIBLE -- BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO!
THAT IS A FACT! In all muslim countries it is illegal to own or read the Bible or explore ANY OTHER RELIGION!
Former muslims ALL attest to this TRUTH! Apostasy & Blasphemy are punishable by DEATH!
@ Sakib H. That is the basic problem, people who think they know what is in the Bible and/or the Koran, without actually having read either or both or read either or both with a closed mind.
@Lydia: Your silence is deafening on the fact that I have provided proof and evidence that Islam is not the religion of forcible conversion as in Quran 2:256, "Let there be no compulsion in religion/way of life, truth is clear from falsehood......"
IF YOU READ A COMMENTARY, it mentions why this verse was revealed: it was revealed to new Muslims who had families in Madinah who were still Christian or Jewish despite their conversion. Hence, if Islam believed in forcibly converting, it would tell us to convert our own families, which clearly isn't the case.
Question: Did the fighting against those who broke contracts because of their religion?
The answer is no. The reason why the fighting occurred was because PEOPLE BROKE THE TERMS OF PEACE!!!!
The problem is not Islam, the problem is ignorant thinkers be they Muslim or non Muslim.

Hi , I am Chris, My friends would describe me as positive, engaging, witty, and sarcastic....I can make new friends quickly. I enjoy the outdoors and what this planet has left to offer us. I stay close with my, family and friends but have quality over quantity. I like durable, creative, strong, handmade things. I work in healthcare as a ChefManager and Bartend on the side. Served in the Marines as a Machine Gunner and fought in the Iraq war in 2003. Not long after I was fortunate to travel to Spain and paid to work as a chef for over a year, and have worked in some of the best restaurants in the world. I have also sacrificed a lot to have those experiences. I have a running bucket list of all the places I want to eat or drink at in Philadelphia and try to scratch one off each week.... I enjoy being social, but I am just as comfortable by myself in any setting....,preferably a cabin...with a fireplace, appetizers and red wine/craft beer. I am a sucker for cooking all day at home, dinner parties, live shows, festivals and fairs, consignment shops, open air markets, etc. I love craft beer, spontaneous trips and live Phillies games! I am an old soul seasoned by war, loss of friends, distance, and adventure. With that being said, I don't get along well with people that let reality tv, mass media, and consumerism rule their lives. I gravitate toward structured, smart, conversationalists. I prefer an independent woman, that leads a good life. I like a thoughtful woman that thinks of others first, because I put her first. I look for someone that has purpose and may have done or plan to do something for the greater good of others. If that's you, drop me a line!

- National Western Stock Show outlines five options for its future
The National Western Stock Show & Rodeo lost nearly $5 million over the past decade as the burden of aging buildings and rising maintenance costs weighed on its finances, according to tax documents filed by the organization.
As the losses widened in 2006 and 2007, the stock show began increasing its spending on lobbyists, consultants, lawyers and architects in its drive to relocate the century-old Denver institution. The show has spent at least $1.1 million on that effort, including $685,000 in the most recent fiscal year.
Last month the show announced it plans to move to Aurora after operating in Denver for 105 years.
The National Western would be housed next to a proposed 1,500-room Gaylord Entertainment hotel and convention center in a complicated and heavily subsidized deal that may require Denver voters to approve a $150 million bond sale to help finance it. It also would require an agreement between officials in Aurora and Denver, where the stock show still has 29 years on its lease.
Critics have blasted the plan, saying it will siphon visitors and revenues from downtown hotels, the Colorado Convention Center and other businesses while diminishing Denver's role as the regional economic hub.
Stock show officials say the National Western's mounting losses don't affect operations because the approximately $1.2 million annual depreciation cost for its facilities is a noncash expense. The show's revenues are stable and it has posted operating profits every year in its recent history except in 2006.
But the show isn't making anything other than critical repairs to its facilities, and deferred maintenance costs have soared to as much as $75 million, more than double the stock show's net assets of $33.8 million.
"If the deferred maintenance number goes up, it will be tougher and tougher to stay here," said Jeff Childs, vice president of finance.
Repair and maintenance expenses are made only if they are for safety or for the continued operation of the show, Childs said. A $2 million job to replace rusting exterior stairways and a $4 million job to rebuild a rusting emergency sprinkler system are among the projects on hold, he said.
Annual attendance has topped out in the 600,000 to 650,000 range due to parking and other constraints of the existing property, so the show is unable to increase revenues, Childs said.
Strong financial position
Net assets — the value of holdings of the Western Stock Show Association, the nonprofit parent of the stock show, after subtracting liabilities — have dwindled from $38.7 million in 2001 to $33.8 million in the most recent fiscal year ended March 31.
By nonprofit standards, that's still a strong financial position, but the downward trend is troubling and unlikely to subside under current circumstances. In National Western's case, it signifies that the value of its physical assets is declining and not being replaced with newer, more valuable facilities, Childs said.
Stock show officials have said the relocation to a larger site adjacent to Gaylord's Western-themed project would boost its fortunes in several ways. It would triple the show's land from 95 to 300 acres, giving it room to grow and add parking.
National Western's $300 million project would include two arenas, one with 10,000 seats and the other with 5,000 seats; a livestock hall that would host the cattle show during the stock show and trade shows the rest of the year; and a Western heritage center. The complex would be able to host trade shows and equestrian events it now isn't capable of handling, as well as concerts and sporting events.
These changes would bring the stock show up to a level comparable to other cities that now have larger and more up-to-date facilities. National Western also might expect to raise more money from the community with a larger, more modern complex. Contributions and grants currently account for about $500,000 of its $13 million in revenues.
More financial benefits
There are other financial benefits. Redeveloping the existing complex at Interstate 70 and Brighton Boulevard would cost at least $100 million more than it would to build elsewhere, stock show president and chief executive Paul Andrews said.
National Western officials have recognized the need to upgrade or relocate for a decade, Andrews said. But it wasn't until 2007, the year after the stock show suffered an operating loss, that it began making serious investments in a potential move.
The group spent $65,000 on lobbying that year and hired CRL Associates, the political consulting and lobbying firm run by Maria Garcia Berry. CRL has received $819,000 from National Western for services related to the relocation effort, including $487,000 in the most recent fiscal year.
Architecture and design firm Populous has received $185,000, and law firm Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck received $59,000.
Andrews said the firms helped National Western identify and select a suitable site, work with the city of Denver and other governments, negotiate agreements and strategize for the future.

What does my ex making no eye contact mean?
So we go to the same college and agreed to be on good terms even though she dumped me for an immature reason before even asking me about it. So I was... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
She still really cares about you... and for most girls if we look at you... you will see the pain and the care and the love in our eyes and we don't and can't let you see that... it is admitting to ourselves and to you that we were wrong and that we are sorry... and also look at an ex that you really truly loved and cared for hurts like hell, because after you break up it is like its off limits and something you can't touch... she still loves you and still cares about you... and she is afraid you will see that if she looks at you... its easier to pretend it doesn't exist if we don't look. The reason she probably hasn't told you not to talk to her anymore is because she really loves it when you do. That officially is the only time you are in her life anymore ya know what I mean... and she can't bear to let you go for good.
Did I get best answer because that's what you wanted to hear? lol
- Show Older Hide Older
Well then he should have bought her a slap in the face of reality in the real world and some maturity... : ) kidding...... time will only tell honey..... ride it out see what happens.
Thank you for all of your input. :)
What Girls Said 3
She's probably not making eye contact because she feels awkward (which isn't your fault). It sounds to me like she realizes that she made a mistake by breaking up with you and now feels bad about it. And instead of apologizing she just seems to be avoiding you because she's probably embarrassed. Or, it could be that her new boyfriend doesn't want her to have contact with you. Maybe you're making it too intense for her by wanting to pursue a friendship with her..she might still have some feelings for you, another reason why she could be avoiding you, becaues she doesn't want to feel tempted.
I told her to tell me if she doesn't want me to talk to her anymore if it makes her uncomfortable and she still hasn't said anything about it. Actually when I told her that she said she wasn't going to stop talking to me just because she has a new boyfriend. He probably doesn't want her to talk to me, he is in high school, so he might be intimidated by me I guess. Thanks for the help :).
You're welcome :D yeah it probably is her boyfriend that's getting in the way of your friendship because if he's in high school dating a college student then he probably has all sorts of insecurities & therefore tries to be controlling..
What Guys Said 2
lol ok ok from a guys point of view
She is over you, she's out, she's done, and most importantly, she is uncomfortable around you...maybe not because of YOU per say but more of what she is reminded by (the awkward breakup...lad di da) A girl is willing to blame it all on you (I know that sounds immature) BUT it's simply how girls react, this way they don't have to think of negative thoughts about themselves, with all of the double standards that is put on them from society, ANYWHO tangent I know.
Basically get over her, and start EYE CONTACTING OTHER GIRLS, not to make her jealous but to make YOU happy...YOU my friend, YOU are the important person here...not her.
I see what you are saying, good point.
This guy should have gotten the best. This sounds spot on
that would be guilt.
possibly realizing that she messed up. And trying to figure emotions out about you.
Guilty because she is being immature about it when I am clearly being mature and nice about it? Or guilty because she still has feelings for me and her Boyfriend probably doesn't want her talking to me? And what kind of emotions could she be trying to figure out about me? Thanks in advance :).
All of the above. It could be feelings for you or immaturity.
And she's probably trying to figure out where she stands with you on an emotional basis. Like wether she actually likes you more than as a friend etc etc.
Have an opinion?

The River Irwell
/ News
CONCERNS have been raised after severe pollution caused sections of the River Irwell in Bury to turn white.
The pollution was spotted by members of the Salford Friendly Anglers on Friday in the river near Wellington Street, who have reported it to the Environment Agency.
They say the source of the problem is now thought to have been found, and say the discolouring of the river was caused by calcium carbonate entering the river.
The angling group fish on much of the river, and are campaigning to help improve its cleanliness to encourage a variety of wildlife.
The group say it has recently attracted kingfishers, pike and other fish after having a previous reputation as one of the dirtiest rivers in Europe.
Mike Duddy, chairman of Salford Friendly Anglers, said: "The Irwell has been turning white on a regular basis now for the past few years —hopefully they have now found the cause and will stop it from happening again.
Eric Owen, a member of the group who has been keeping a log of fly tipping and pollution incidents on the river, added: "We are waiting to see if it has had any effect on the wildlife.
"Hopefully the source has been found now, but we were worried about the fish at first.
"I have seen the river turn green before, but it was horrendous on Friday. It has been a problem for many years now, and it needs sorting out."
An Environment Agency spokesman said: "We are aware of this pollution incident, which has caused some change in colour to parts of the River Irwell as a result of calcium carbonate in the water.
"The source has been identified and we are working to remediate the issue."

I hope this involves big fines. This has been going on for years how come has it taken so long to find the source?

FORT LAWN – Fort Lawn Town Council held first reading at its May meeting on a $391,000 fiscal budget for 2015-16 budget that reflects the decrease in revenues coming into the town's coffers. This budget is lower than the previous year's approximately $421,000.

36 year old man | Los Angeles, CA, USA | Seeking women 26-31 within 20 miles of Baldwin Park, CA
flip the fire, entire female desire, baby step to this if you admire.
I'm easy to get along with, humble "most of the time" I'm fair, respectable, conservative looking and serious until you crack the shell to see my full blown personality(takes time) I'm 34 but most say i look 26-28. I'm 5'11'' light/brownish skin tone, slender with somewhat of a tone body. weight at 159-165lbs. I keep myself in shape by strength training 4-5 times a week and few cardio here and there. I dont expect the easy way and I work hard at achieving my set goals. Pictures say a million words and are considered valid if they are up to date, rather than having old pictures when you were nice and fit. With that being said I'm an honest man looking to have fun, relationship, etc. Id go with the flow if needed and up for anything. ill take my time to ensure my princess is the right fit for me. I've been loyal to my past relationships, and although relationships don't work out, I continue believing there is someone worth the effort. I enjoy any outdoor activity, summer isn't summer unless I'm a beach bum. I'm a simple person looking for simplicity and happiness in life, because ultimately that's the only value that matters to most. I was raised in East Los and preferably looking for a mutual up raising unless you have an open mind. I'm looking for my special senorita to blend her in with a little bit of Latin spice, to bind face to face and kiss her lips softly, squeeze her tightly and hope to never let go. Give her my full potential and affection. My preference is a down to earth heart that's open for anything and is a girly girl with a look of innocence. A pretty face and matching personality would sure fit my type. Petite or fit body's is my choice as I'm fit, but don't get discouraged. I'm a simple man and only asking for a few simple quality's that every women should have by nature rather than society's/past relationship influences. If you like what you see/read, say whats up.
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
ask me when we meet, I don't want you following me. thx
food, physical challenges, oh and did I mention the beach. beautiful nature scenery. My partner if I had one.
Enjoy every outdoor and strive to constantly be out there. Beach during summers, Baseball, softball "a little rusty" but play when allowable. Mountain biking, paintball, hiking, camping, physical challenges, rafting, movies, comedy shows,
various self improvement books, cookbooks. not much of a reader unless it helps me in someway. not in to reading fictional/nonfictional etc. stories.

TR's Greatness
Edmund Morris's return to Teddy Roosevelt.
Nov 19, 2001, Vol. 7, No. 10 • By DAVID BROOKS
Theodore Rex
IN 1903, in the midst of his struggles to build the Panama Canal, President Theodore Roosevelt was asked by Nicholas Murray Butler, the president of Columbia University, for a list of recommended books. The list, which Roosevelt wrote out during a train ride, is classic TR--demonstrating at once his omnivorous reading and his little boy's desire to show off:
"Parts of Herodotus; the first and seventh books of Thucydides; all of Polybius, a little of Plutarch, Sophocles' Orestean trilogy and "Seven Against Thebes," Euripides' "Hippolytus" and "Bacchae;" Aristophanes' "Frogs." Parts of the "Politics" of Aristotle. . . . "
As the train bounced southward, Roosevelt toted up his favorites. He listed "Macbeth" and "Twelfth Night" along with Macaulay's essays, Carlyle's "Frederick the Great," Mahan's "Types of Naval Officers," Tolstoy's "Sebastopol" as well as "Tom Sawyer," "The Pickwick Papers," and Arthur Conan Doyle's "The White Company." In all, he listed 114 authors--adding, "Of course I have forgotten a great many." No president before or since could have poured out such a roster (not withstanding that "Seven Against Thebes" was actually written by Aeschylus) or would have made time, while president, to continue this sort of reading.
Fresh from the public-relations disaster of "Dutch," his widely panned postmodern memoir of Ronald Reagan, Edmund Morris has finally produced "Theodore Rex," the second volume of the biography that began with the Pulitzer Prize-winning "The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt" in 1979. That first volume from Morris was nothing short of brilliant. It put me off reading biographies for nearly a year because every other one I picked up seemed pale in comparison. This new installment, covering Roosevelt's presidency from 1901 to 1909, is less gripping to read, but captures Roosevelt's growing sophistication as well as all the endearing and exasperating vitality of the man.
Covering the presidency, Morris does not have the benefit of the sort of dramatic and varied scenery he had for the first part of Roosevelt's life: Fifth Avenue, Harvard, the badlands of South Dakota, San Juan Hill. But amidst the volumes of official White House papers and the century-old policy debates, Morris hasn't lost touch with Roosevelt the man. The effect of this book is surprisingly political. Morris depicts TR as the president who was able to create something that has often been dreamed about but almost never realized: a vital center. By temperament TR was a dervish, and yet, Morris emphasizes, his instinct was to seek political equilibrium. He balanced opposing forces and embodied the middling current of American opinion without ever being wishy-washy or passive, as most centrists are.
The vitality is what makes this fun reading. Roosevelt ate about twice as much as a normal man, and swallowed a river of coffee each day (one doctor astutely observed that he was driving his machine so hard it would surely conk out prematurely). He dragged his guests on forced marches through Rock Creek Park and would lead them wading through streams in winter without even breaking his flow of conversation. He would speed through meetings, barking, "Tell me what you have to say. Quickly! Quickly!" He amused himself while president with exuberant tennis matches (no cameras allowed) and a game in which he and his trainers would don helmets and chest protectors and beat each other with singlesticks.
His closest friends and admirers were well aware that at one level he had never really grown up. "You must always remember that the president is about six," noted Cecil Spring-Rice, the best man at his first wedding. On his birthday, Elihu Root sent him a note which read, "I congratulate you on attaining the respectable age of forty-six. You have made a very good start in life and your friends have great hopes for you when you grow up."

The Finest Known
Judd-1021, R.8, PR67 Cameo
Design. Both obverse and reverse dies are the designs used for regular-issue coinage of silver dollars in 1870. Struck in aluminum with a reeded edge.
Commentary. The standard pattern references traditionally list Judd-1021 as a die trials issue, but USPatterns.com states the coins were minted as part of the Mint's marketing program. In support of this view, the present coin was offered as part of an eight-coin 1870 aluminum proof set when it first surfaced in the 1970s. The rarity of the sets was discussed when it was advertised in several issues of the Rare Coin Review: "The number of 1870 aluminum proof sets struck is nowhere recorded. We would estimate the number as being in the range of 5 to 10 sets, nearly all of which have been broken up in the intervening years." Neither did the set offered in the review survive intact, as this coin was offered individually in the Fairfield Collection in October 1977.
If the auction appearance record of Judd-1021 is any indication, the estimate of five to 10 sets struck may be too high. The issue was missing in all the great pattern collections of the 19th century. With all their resources and connections, great collectors such as Edward Maris, Henry Linderman, R.C. Davis, Lorin Parmelee, and George Woodside all failed to secure an example of Judd-1021 for their collections. The illustrious collectors of the 20th century fared no better: This piece was missing in the collections of William Woodin, Fred Olsen, Maj. Lenox Lohr, John Work Garrett, Louis Eliasberg, and Harry W. Bass, Jr.
A diligent search of auction records has yielded a grand total of five auction appearances, representing two--or at most three--different coins. The last auction offering of a specimen of Judd-1021 was 18 years ago; this piece also marks the first time Heritage has had the privilege of presenting an example. Clearly, this attractive pattern is among the most elusive of all numismatic treasures.
The coin offered here is the finer of the two specimens seen in recent times. This Superb Gem Cameo proof will be a focal point of any advanced pattern collection. This piece has been off the market for 21 years, and it may be decades before another example becomes available. The astute collector will take notice and bid accordingly.
Physical Description. The present coin features a spectacular strike, with crisp detail on all design elements. The fully frosted devices contrast vividly with the deeply mirrored fields to create the dramatic cameo effect. Brilliant, untoned surfaces add to the fantastic eye appeal. An unimprovable specimen of this extremely rare pattern. This piece is, unsurprisingly, the only certified example at NGC, while PCGS has graded one PR65 piece (11/08).
Census. We believe that only two or three examples of Judd-1021 survive today:
1. Rare Coin Review Nos. 21-26 (Bowers and Ruddy, 1974-1976); Fairfield Collection (Bowers and Ruddy, 10/1977), lot 51; Ruder Collection (Stack's, 9/1987), lot 1528. The present coin.
