Cynthia Carr Falardeau: Best Christmas gifts can be simple, like a stick, a box and some time with family
My child's two favorite toys are a stick and a box. He has the benefit of every 21st century play set, computer, iPad and iTouch. The truth is his go-tos are wood and cardboard.
My husband, Jim, and I work hard to provide the latest technology in terms of learning devices and creative play. Yet, at the end of a busy school day he looks for a wooden stick he has had since he was a baby. I think it was part of a dusting tool designed to clean ceiling fans. Since I put my family and career first — housekeeping falls to last place. Therefore you might be able to understand how it became more of a toy and less of a tool. The late Erma Bombeck would have understood!
The boxes are another story. Years ago we were looking for a motivator to help our son comply with a new behavior plan at his school. The team, with our support, identified that our son was obsessed with SpongeBob SquarePants' Bikini Bottom. For those of you who do not follow the life of this colorful underwater cartoon, SpongeBob lives beneath the ocean floor in an imaginary land. The fact he wears brown pants and has dysfunctional friends is merely a reflection of daily life anywhere.
The team had a keen suggestion. Use Bikini Bottom as a motivator to help our son comply with his behavior plan. There was no affordable play set to be found. So my husband and I, with the support of the team, devised a plan. Each week the goals were met our child would receive a new building for a cardboard play set Jim and I would create out of boxes. My third-grade teacher, Mrs. Gauby, would have been proud of how I transferred those language arts skills into rewards for my special-needs child.
The beauty of the project was that it cost us nothing. OK, perhaps my love for shoes was now justified by the boxes we were "repurposing." But the truth was we were creating this village as a family out of "stuff" we found in our home. Our child loved it and thought it was the greatest invention. Even four years later, he plays with those boxes, the Bikini Village, on a weekly basis.
As for the stick — well that "toy" is still a go-to for calming nerves. Our son carries it when he "stims." Stimming is a repetitive body movement, such as hand-flapping or pacing. The term is shorthand for self-stimulation. It involves repetitive movement and relates to sensory input. For children and adults on the spectrum of Autism Spectrum Disorders it relates to sensory input.
When our son becomes overwhelmed or really tired, he will walk back and forth in a repetitive pattern with an object that brings him comfort. Despite the fact he has every action figure, stuffed animal and electronic device — that stick brings his world into focus.
All of this is a great reminder. As I obsess about finding the gifts listed on my son's holiday list, or worrying about affording his wishes, those boxes and that stick remind me of a simple truth. What most children really want is our attention.
I am not suggesting that we start a campaign called "Sticks for Kids" or "Boxes for Babies." Rather, I only wish to remind parents that sometimes the greatest gift we have to offer is our time and attention. At the end of the day, that new toy or gizmo is short-lived. The thing that will endure is our time together.
The chance to dream and imagine is priceless. To simply encourage creative thinking of how we can build new beginnings with simple tools is merely a way of preparing our children to be problem solvers. Creativity, innovation and tenacity will carry a child, even one with exceptionalities, to new destinations.
Tonight, as I watch my son chase my husband through our small house, I marvel at their joy. I watch with wonder as that wooden stick is the basis of many imaginary games. I see them dart through the doorways, explode with laughter and enjoy a moment founded on pure love. Perhaps all a child needs is a stick and a box.

I have been a patient of Dr Fox for 7 years. He is highly professional, listens and documents all meetings and symptoms and is well versed in Parkinson's Disease.I am very pleased with his bed side manner and the staff treat me very well. I have never encountered any problems with his treatment or personality. I like him and his office
Do not go to him....I was seeing Dr. Fox for a trial of a MS med - he decided, in the middle of a neurological exam, that he had to feel my breasts....without warning, and while I was fully dressed - he abruptly pulled up my bra and shirt and started feeling my breasts - quite bizarre and surreal - obviously he has a problem. Do not go to him - can't believe he is still practicing - What a very sick thing to do to prey on a scared and vulnerable middle aged woman with a diagnosis of MS -this was awhile ago but those types of problems won't go away on their own.
I was able to get an appointment with this Dr.Fox immediately, now I know why. I truly doubt he ever has a patient return. I explained my medical history to him. After I was done he looked at me and said, "Migraines happen" and then shrugged his shoulders. I should have just walked out then. From there the conversation went nowhere fast, I think I was boring him. Everytime I asked him a question, his answers were dismissive and rude. At one point he raised his voice and started insulting me. When I returned the tone, he backed off. So my opinion is he is a big bully, that maybe at one time loved his job and had enthusiam for it. Now he is just bitter and angry and gets zero fulfillment from helping people. Either way I find it sad because I respect the profession, just not him.
Would not recommend.
I came to Dr. Fox presenting with both migraines/chronic headaches and numbness and tingling in my extremities, but mainly to deal with the numbness and tingling.It took at least 2 visits with me insisting that he deal with the numbness and tingling before he decided, "ok we'll do further testing." At first he even questioned me that i even PRESENTED with the tingling, suggesting it was side effects from the meds he had prescribed, but when I reminded him that I was referred to him for this reason, he looked at his notes, and I quote said, "Oh yeah, I wrote that down." Overall, he spent more time telling me about his trips to europe and what he thought he knew about ancient history (which being a doctoral student in ancient history, he actually doesn't know much, I hate to break it to you, Dr. Fox) than he did actually dealing with the symptoms I had presented. Because I'm a student, I have crappy insurance, and it has cost me over 300 dollars for him just to START dealing with my issues. I have since sought out another doctor.DO NOT SEE DR. FOX if you are dealing with anything other than migraines. He's good for that, but nothing else. His bedside manor is terrible, he's not interested in you or really your symptoms, just what he thinks he knows (which is sometimes proving not to be much, sadly). In sum, don't go to Dr. Fox. Find a better doctor.
This doctor does not care about people. If you have a neurological problem, he will not help you.

Eugene Robinson: The emerging "drone' cultureQuicklink submitted by Sheila Samples Permalink
Become a Fan
(39 fans)
|There has been far too little discussion of the moral calculus involved in using flying robots as tools of assassination. At the very least, the whole thing should leave us uneasy. Collateral damage -- the killing of innocents -- can be minimized but not eliminated. And even if only "bad" people are killed, this isn't war as we've traditionally understood it. Drone attacks are more like state-sponsored homicide.

Kraft Foods to Cut 1,600 Jobs as It Prepares to Split
Jan. 17 (Bloomberg) -- Kraft Foods said it will realign its U.S. sales organization and cut 1,600 jobs in North America throughout 2012 as part of its move to divide its snacks and grocery businesses.
About 40 percent of the job cuts are due to the realignment of U.S. sales, with organizations for both units in place by April 1. Twenty percent of job cuts are currently open positions.

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 2/3/12
The Los Angeles Clippers and free agent Kenyon Martin have agreed to a one-year deal, returning the veteran forward to the NBA after a brief stint in China. Martin's agent, Andy Miller, confirmed Friday that the sides reached agreement. The deal, believed to be worth the mini mid-level exception of $2.5 million, is expected to be finalized as soon as Martin passes a physical. Martin spent part of the season playing for the Xinjiang Flying Tigers in China and was required to wait until their season ended before rejoining the NBA. However, he was cleared to return Thursday by FIBA, basketball's international governing body. The 34-year-old Martin averaged 8.6 points and 6.2 rebounds last season in Denver. The deal reunites him with former Nuggets teammate Chauncey Billups, now a guard with the Clippers. Martin also has a home in Los Angeles. Martin has averaged 13.5 points and 7.2 rebounds in 11 NBA seasons, including a stint with New Jersey.

Lesson Plan
Introducing the Classroom Economy
Students will learn the definition of economics, define classroom jobs, and attach salaries to those jobs.
- Grades: 3–5
- Unit Plan:
Students will learn the definition of economics and briefly study how current and historic societies have had economic systems. Students will also determine necessary classroom jobs and attach daily or weekly salaries to those positions. The concepts of credits and debits will be introduced.
Students will:
- Participate in a classroom economy designed to mimic real world economic activity
- Compare economic systems over time and history
- Evaluate the importance of classroom jobs and daily responsibilities
- Perform classroom jobs to earn daily salaries
- 4- by 6-inch steno notebooks, one per student
- Credit and Debit Logs (PDF), one per student
- A book on the history of money and trade (see my Book List for recommendations), or Scholastic's Money article
- Chart paper
- Optional: Money Design Template (PDF)
Set Up and Prepare
- Create Credit and Debit Notebooks for each student using the 4- by 6-inch spiral notebooks. Put students' names on the cover of the notebook and glue a Credit and Debit Log (PDF) on the first page. They will use this throughout the school year.
- Read the Credit and Debit Notebooks article.
Part 1
Step 1: Write on the board the two main definitions of "economy" and review with students:
- The careful use of money and goods, and
- A system of economic life in a country, area, or period.
Step 2: Now, ask students to share their prior experiences with money. Start with the following questions:
- Do you make an allowance?
- Have you ever purchased something with your own money?
- Have you ever had a job?
- Have you ever saved up for something?
- Have you ever sold something to someone else?
Part 2
Step 1: Explain to students that they will participate in a classroom economy this year where they will use money to purchase goods. Read the Money article or the book you've pre-selected that teaches the history of money and trade.
Optional: Vote on a name for your class money. (My class money is called "Newies" because my last name is Newingham.)
Optional: Have students use the Money Design Template (PDF) to create designs for $1, $5, $10, and $20 bills. Once students vote on the winning designs, make many copies of the bills and store them in a cash box for the classroom bank that will eventually exist. (This step can be eliminated if you choose to use play money instead.)
Part 3
Step 1: Discuss ways that people earn money in an economy. Encourage students to think about common jobs in their community.
Step 2: Brainstorm a list of jobs that students feel are necessary in the classroom. (Messenger, teacher's assistant, librarian, line leader, operator, etc.) Record the ideas on chart paper. See my list of possible classroom jobs.
Step 3: Explain that in a basic economy, not all jobs are paid the same. Sometimes salaries are based on the amount of work that a person has to do or the importance of the job. Have students rank the agreed-upon jobs and assign a daily or weekly salary (depending on how often you prefer to pay the students) for each classroom job.
Step 4: Create a poster with a list of classroom jobs and their corresponding salaries. Assign students to write job descriptions so that students know what is expected of them when performing each job.
Step 5: Create a rotating job chart. (I use pictures of students with magnetic business cards on the back, each day placing them under a new job title. The teacher's assistant rotates the jobs at the beginning of each school day.)
Optional: Brainstorm desired behaviors or achievements that are worthy of additional payment (e.g., no missing assignments for a week, perfect spelling test, perfect attendance, monthly reading goals, etc.), along with undesirable behaviors that warrant the students having to pay the bank (missing assignments, put-downs, etc.). Post the results in the classroom.
Part 4
Step 1: Pass out a pre-made Credit and Debit Notebook to each student. Explain the system to your students, referring to the Credits and Debits Notebooks article as necessary. Students should keep their Credit and Debit Notebooks open on their desk throughout the school day.
Home Connection
Invite parents to come into the classroom and share what they do at their jobs. Encourage them to make a connection to the economic impact their job has on the community.
- It is the responsibility of the students to collect their paychecks at the end of each day and to complete their jobs based on the job descriptions agreed upon by the class.
- Do your students seem to understand the concept of an economy?
- Do your students need any additional instruction to help them better understand their roles in the classroom economy?
- What things are working well so far?
- What things might you change if you taught this lesson again?
- Are your students excited about earning credits and performing classroom jobs?
Assess Students
Assess each student's ability to do their assigned classroom jobs effectively.
- Subjects:Money, Real-World Math, Economics, Jobs, Careers, Work
- Duration:2 Weeks

YIELD: Serves 4 as an hors d'oeuvre
With a vegetable peeler remove three 3-by-1/2-inch strips orange zest. Cut remaining peel and pith from orange with a sharp knife and discard. Cut out fruit sections from between membranes, discarding membranes, and finely chop enough fruit to measure 1/3 cup, reserving remaining fruit for another use.
In a large saucepan cook garlic paste, shallots, chopped fennel, and fennel seeds in butter over moderate heat, stirring, until chopped fennel is softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in wine and zest and boil 1 minute. Add broth and return to a boil. Add mussels and cook, covered with a tight-fitting lid, over high heat, checking them every minute, 3 to 8 minutes, transferring them as they open with a slotted spoon to a serving bowl. (Discard any mussels that are unopened after 8 minutes.)
Stir into broth chopped orange, parsley, and salt and pepper to taste and spoon over mussels.

Two veteran investors are trying to establish a new $50 million venture capital fund that would invest primarily in companies in Wisconsin and other Midwestern states.
Tim Keane and Trevor D'Souza formed Keane D'Souza Venture Capital LLC in May, according to Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions records.
"We think there's a great need for growth-stage capital in the Midwest, and therefore, pretty good opportunities," said Keane, a managing director of the new firm. "Trevor and I hope that our reputation with entrepreneurs is such that we'll continue to see the vast preponderance of opportunities in this market."
The firm will invest $3 million to $10 million in each deal, and will focus on industries such as software, technology and technology-enabled services, according to its website. Those companies must either have revenue or significant, committed interest from potential customers, the website says.
Keane, 65, is also the founder and director of Golden Angels Investors LLC, a 75-member angel investing network, and is former director of the Kohler Center for Entrepreneurship at Marquette University. Keane previously founded and ran RTMS Inc., a business-to-business marketing company that was acquired in 1999 by a division of Experian.
Since 1999, D'Souza, 47, has led venture capital activities at Mason Wells, a Milwaukee private equity firm. He was previously chief executive officer of a start-up software company called PharmaSoft NA, led the biomedical systems practice for Booz Allen & Hamilton, and ran IT for a research support services company.
Keane and D'Souza "understand how to do deals, they understand the marketplace, and they're great at due diligence and finding great companies," said Andy Nunemaker, an investor in the new fund and former chief executive officer of EMSystems LLC, a Milwaukee provider of emergency medical services software that was acquired by Florida-based Intermedix Corp. in 2010.
Members of Keane's Golden Angels group took a majority stake in EMSystems in 2004 and lured Nunemaker from GE Healthcare to take the top job.
Keane is an excellent mentor, has the ability to get things done, and is an expert at negotiating terms, said George Mosher, a member of the Golden Angels who is considering investing in the new fund.
"Tim has done an outstanding job of thinking through the terms of the initial investment so that if the company is successful, the investors get rewarded for their investment," Mosher said.
Mosher, who sold his National Business Furniture in 2006 for $82 million, is one of the state's more prolific angel investors. He has invested $20 million in 150 companies since selling his firm, he said.
The Golden Angels have many companies in the works, but have not had an exit since EMSystems was acquired in 2010, Mosher said. "That makes it harder to say how successful they've been," he said.
Keane and D'Souza have hired an associate, Steve Laczniak, 27, who has degrees in nuclear engineering and medical physics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and an MBA from Marquette University, where he is also completing his final year of law school.
The new fund appears to be doing well raising money from investors, said Zach Brandon, director of the Wisconsin Angel Network.
Keane and D'Souza are a talented management team that should be able to provide value for their investors and create jobs for the state, Brandon said. The fund will help fill a need in Wisconsin, where there is a shortage of capital for companies that have grown beyond early-stage funding levels, he said.
"Now we just need five more of them," he said.

Dongguan hopes to rid image as China's 'sex capital'
Ernest Kao

Full one-minute video of the new Dongguan promo
An urban legend in China amongst women looking for husbands remind them that a man who truly loves his wife will never step foot in Dongguan.
Other unflattering nicknames which have stuck with central Guangdong's former boom town - just a stone's throw away from Hong Kong - include "sweatshop city" and "Sparta of the Orient".
Dongguan authorities are now looking to change all of this. New promotional videos launched by the city's propaganda arm aim to shed Dongguan's reputation as a city of sin, the Yangcheng Evening News reported on Wendesday.
The 15-second TV spot launched earlier this month and produced in conjunction with the Discovery Channel, promotes the "non-sexual" side of the city. It features "elements of Dongguan" which include parks, lion dances, Cantonese opera singing, a basketball tournament and several well-known entrepreneurs.
Another spot labelled "Hello, Dongguan" will feature prominent celebrities such as basketball star Yi Jianlian and IT industry mogul Wang Zhidong.
The new images officials hope to invoke will be very different from the now debt-laden factory town's frequent association with sex tourism, which has long help give it the title of China's "sex capital".
Branding experts say a city's brand image is akin to a "golden billboard".
As for the cost of the entire production, Dongguan's Propaganda Department says it will remain a "commercial secret".

I dont even get why prostitution is such a taboo, its one of the oldest industry in the world, many are not forced in to it, with the exception of being poor. The selling of kidnapped women to the sex industry is happening because there is literally no one checking the system making it ever more dangerous. Making it illegal have only further abuse the woman since they have no one to turn to when they are really being abused. Of course then we have the Moral argument, well whether it is legal or not illegal you know there is going to be a sex industry the only difference, if it is kept in the dark abuses happens and everyone will ignore it, if it come out abuses will be less likely to happen as a matter of fact maybe even unloyal hubby's might think again if they dont feel secure enough to cheat out at the open.

Cream Taffy
|2 Cup (32 tbs)
|3⁄4 Cup (12 tbs)
|Light corn syrup
|1⁄4 Cup (4 tbs)
|1⁄4 Teaspoon
|Heavy cream
|1 Cup (16 tbs)
|1 Teaspoon
In a three or four-quart saucepan cook the sugar, water, corn syrup and salt to 250 degrees (it will form a hard ball when dropped into cold water), stirring only until the sugar is dissolved.
Add the cream and cook slowly, stirring as needed to prevent sticking, to 260 degrees (almost brittle).
Pour into a greased pan.
When cool enough to handle, pour the vanilla into the center and gather the corners toward the center so the vanilla will not be lost.
Remove from the pan and pull with the fingers, dipped in cornstarch if necessary to prevent sticking, until rather firm and a light cream color.
Stretch into a long rope about three-quarters inch in diameter.
Lay the rope on a greased surface and cut it at once into one inch pieces.
Wrap in foil, transparent saran or wax paper.

Nurse Practitioner reviews in Arnold
I have been seeing her for about 8 years. She and her nursing staff are very responsive to your questions. It is usually pretty easy to see her on short notice. She is cooperative with discussing different health issue and treatment options. It seems she is able to spend more time with me than my previous doctor. I like that she is easy to relate to."
She explains things and breaks things down. She's very personable. She listens to you. I wouldn't go anywhere else. It's hard to find a good health care provider, and she is. I had a problem for many years and she was the only one who could figure it out."
I have seen I have been too. Even though he had seen me as a patient for years, when I ask him to take me on as a regular patient, he sent to the hospital's and all other Doctors I have seen in the last 15 years and ask for medical records. He then reviewed all of them and ask questions on things he found questionable. I see no reason to see an MD when
It went very well. I was in and out. We can get an appointment easily. The office is brand new. They are all wonderful. She is always happy and will explain everything. She's not in a hurry to go to the next patient. We have been going to the practice for 15 years."

The Virtuoso: Marcus Roberts - CBS "60 Minutes"
Who's the greatest American musician most people have never heard of? To me, it's Marcus Roberts. I'm biased because Marcus worked in my band when he was just starting out. But anybody who's heard him at the piano usually agrees: he's a fearsome and fearless player, and a homegrown example of overcoming adversity with excellence. Keep reading »

Wynton Marsalis and JALC concert at Chicago Orchestra Hall
There's a palpable sense of occasion in the air when the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra returns to Orchestra Hall, and you feel it as soon as you walk into the room. The presence of so many listeners seated on stage around the band, crowding the terrace area behind it and filling every remaining seat in the house distinguishes this event from most concerts in the grand old venue. Major performances unfold here many nights a week, in other words, but Chicagoans turn these JALC appearances – led by the band's music director, Wynton Marsalis – into something of a civic occasion.

Ronald Jenkees) on iTunes by RonaldJenkees published on 2011/10/21 02:59:50 +0000 A guy by the name of Patrick Watson sent me a tune he made in FL Studio and asked me to mix/master it as well as to put my style on it. His tune reminded me so much of Mario Kart that I couldn't pass it up. It ended up taking me forever but Mario Kart puts me in a good mood so it was a blast. When it was all done, Patrick renamed the track Mega Mushroom.

BoxWave MyArt Carrying Case (Pouch) for iPad - Neoprene - Color Splotches, Paint Splatters - bw-697-3779-0

Ready. Set. Style
BoxWave's Style line of products proves you don't have to sacrifice form for function, or vice versa. The industry's highest quality cases, covers, and accessories are here to protect and serve, in Style.
In the 1940's the Abstract Expressionism art movement began gaining momentum, especially with a crowd of New York artists. This new method of painting delighted in the use of layers of colors, busyness on the canvas, and extreme emotion. And while stimulating, this form of art spurred a backlash response.
It was out of this response that the Minimalist movement of the 1960's was born. The opposite of extra color and extra design, the Minimalist design favors beauty through simplicity.
Created in respect to both of these historically significant movements, we took the liberty of coating a Minimalist-style pouch in Abstract Expressionism design. Step into the BoxWave gallery, and admire our MyArt, Photo Glam, and Midnight Tiger Suits.
Gentle to the touch (screen) and easy on the eyes, the MyArt Suit is perfected simplicity. The slim fitting pouch snugly holds your device and reinforced stitching around the seams ensures continued support.
The ultra flexible and durable neoprene pouch withstands rips and provides padding for unexpected drops.
The MyArt Suit features paint splatters and color splotches creating a vibrant, starving-artist type design.
An extra-strength metal double zipper securely closes the MyArt Suit, completely enclosing your device in artistic bliss.

Well I was talking to a friend of mine who also loves comics and like me has a monthly buying cycle of comics at his local comic book store.
Anyway we was on skpye and we got talking about retro comics, ones that you would not really be able to buy and read and if you did would cost the same as a car.
I told him I had everything from the early days of batman on my hard drive and we got into an argument about the ethics of downloading.
Now I come here to you to ask, do you think its wrong to download stuff you can no longer buy? such as early comics and what not.

First of all, the cropping is very unfortunate. You cut of one leg right above the knee and half the foot on the other. It's looking like "I don't want to draw feet so I'll just pretend they're not there."
Moreover, the whole image is looking very flat. I attribute this mostly to the endless white void in which he's swimming, but also the artificial lighting which does a great job making him look like a plastic figurine, or a paper cutout in some places (the one knee he has).
All the lighting and shading is too blurry. Work in deep shadows with hard brushes and highlights with the same.

2008 Syrah – Dry Creek ValleyThis powerful, rich, aromatic Syrah was sourced from steep slopes above the Dry Creek Valley. The long, warm growing season of 2008 allowed for optimum ripeness, allowing Syrah to display its classic personality. The color is a dark black/red. Aromas of blackberry compote, dark chocolate, cumin, rosemary, white pepper, and flowers are echoed on the palate in waves of rich, powerful fruit. The finish is dense and long, with tannins that are almost completely enveloped by the fruit. Wine Profile:
- Winemaker: Steve Sherwin
- Production: 350 cases made
- Appellation: Dry Creek Valley
- Blend: Syrah 100%
- Alcohol: 15.4%

Tell me about it, this morning, I woke up and I shit a squirrel, but what I can't get is the damn thing is still alive. So now, I've got a shit covered squirrel running around my office and I don't know what to name it.
You are in complete control of your poster rank... just post more!

Atrophy: what you get when you win atournament.
I'm not concerned with that being a problem here... twice a day the system automatically prunes threads it deems replicative, and if that isn't fast enough for us, we can always merge the posts, too.
We wouldn't release something if we didn't think you guys could handle it..
What we need is a Last Word thread.
Anyway, I built into this the ability to use the same algo used in the rankings, so in the future, we may rank based on post quality/number of posts... but until I make sure its perfect, its only post count.

Pleasing VF-20 1793 Chain Cent, S-41793 Chain 1C Periods VF20 PCGS. S-4, B-5, High R.3. Breen Die State III. For certain early copper issues, especially Chain cents, the grading services tend to forgive surface problems such as corrosion, planchet flaws and porosity. This is understandable considering that most of these early coppers were struck on already-doomed planchets or succumbed to the elements over the years. As a result, one certified VF20 could have far superior surface quality and subsequent eye appeal than the next VF20. In this regard, the example offered here is far above average. The planchet is amazingly smooth for the issue and the surface coloration is a consistent, light milk-chocolate throughout. Three small obverse ticks, although not distracting, are identified here for the sake of full disclosure.
This is S-4, also known as the With Periods variety, due to the presence of a period after LIBERTY and also the date. In the case of this coin, only the period after the legend is obvious. The localized weakness in the area to the right of the date is observed on many S-4 Chain cents and is the direct result of a slight die misalignment; the obverse rim is usually bold from 7 o'clock to 2 o'clock, yet comparatively weak in the lower right quadrant. The reverse legend is complete, with the central detail being bold as usual. Although not the scarcest of the four collectible 1793 Chain cent varieties, S-4 is seen about half as often as its S-3 counterpart. A pleasing, mid-grade piece that would be a welcomed addition to any collection. Population: 18 in 20, 92 finer (12/07). EAC 10.(Registry values: P5) (PCGS# 91341)
