I eat it raw, delicious. Ok, no sugar, a little bitter (but not too bad), but for me, i love it.
Posted by archeiherb on Nov 14, 2015
I usually eat it straight instead of baking. It actually tastes not bitter but sour. If you eat this chocolate with some dried fruit,you will love it!! Such as dried cranberries or raisins are really good match.
Posted by Reviewer1055085 on Jul 20, 2011
Beware, it's unsweetened. It's good to nibble on with something sweet, or use it for baking. I really appreciate this 100% pure dark chocolate. I got addicted after my first purchase.
Posted by Reviewer1202059 on May 19, 2012
I use this when I make ice cream, bake ect. Since it tastes to bitter on its own I don't end up eating it up before I use it :) I order this every time I order from iHerb.

This chocolate I bought for my dad. He loves dark chocolate, but never tried the chocolate made from 100% cocoa. He is delighted with this chocolate, says that the natural and pleasant aftertaste remains for a long time.
Posted by 5402707521257068207 on Jul 02, 2012
I have not tried this in cooking but this chocolate is good enough to eat straight! Beautiful texture and flavour, not too intense or dry and crumbly like a lot of other 100% chocolate bars. Would definitely recommend!
My favorite in baking
Posted by CurbAnxiety on Aug 10, 2011
This is my favorite when baking cookies, cakes, etc. Nice structure, supreme quality.
great chocolate

Posted by AnnaLL on Apr 24, 2013
Good quality, great price. Can't go wrong ;) (Makes very yummy brownies!)
good product
Posted by 5534220002852268161 on Feb 24, 2016
exactly as advertised - takes time to get used to this taste if you are using it as a "sweet" treat. anyway after a cube of this chocolate you do not feel sugar craving any more

2005 Brazilian Nationals
September 30th, 2008 • Arabhorse.com
The 2005 Brazilian Nationals was an amazing show. I had been to Brazil before but never for the show. The organizers did a fantastic job to make us all feel welcome and put on a great event. The visits to the farms was a highlight of the trip.

FAA Approves G650 FORMS Program
Gulfstream has received FAA approval for its G650 business jet Flight Operations Risk Management Service (FORMS) program.
(Gulfstream G650. Photo: Gulfstream.)
The FORMS program is a database of flight data designed to provide feedback to operators seeking to improve their training and maintenance procedures. During all phases of flight, FORMS collects data and identifies when certain criteria have been exceeded, Gulfstream said. The system then analyzes the conditions and presents a report to the operator summarizing the data.
"No one else in the industry is performing this level of data analysis, which allows for the trending of aircraft systems and enables predictive capabilities," said Robby O'Dell, program manager, G650 technical development at Gulfstream.
In addition to the events-based flight reports, operators also receive quarterly reports from the system.
The company currently has 200 aircraft enrolled in the program, which is also available to G150, G450, G550, GIV and GV operators.

4 thoughts on "Which One Are You?"
My husband said he wanted to cook something but said I wouldn't ask you to this morning. I took the hint and got off my lazy romp and cooked a good meal for him. You know what? I think he liked that more than me buying him a gift. I'm getting my house in order but I know it'll take a little prayer to guide me.
Thank you Leslie! I need reminders like this from time to time. Cute skirt BTW! Merry Christmas to you and your family!

Hasbro, a maker of toys and various content, has sued Asustek Computer for use of the words "Transformer" and "Prime" in the name of the company's latest media tablet. The outcome of the suit is completely unclear, but it will definitely attract attention to the Nvidia Tegra 3-powered Asus Transformer Prime tablet.
"Hasbro continues to aggressively protect its brands and products and the specific actions we are taking today against Asus underscores yet again Hasbro's willingness to pursue companies who misappropriate our intellectual property for their own financial gain," a statement by Hasbro published by PaidContent web-site reads.
Even though Asustek Computer has never publicly associated its media tablets with optional keyboards with the Transformers toys or universe, the word "Prime" in the name of the latest slates clearly points to Optimus Prime, the head of Autobots in the Transformers universe. Hasbro believes that Asustek's tablets confuse end-users and attempt to attract attention using a well-known name.
Asus Transformer Prime tablet is powered by Nvidia Tegra 3 system-on-chip with four high-performance ARM Cortex-A9 cores, low-power ARM Cortex-A9 core, GeForce-class graphics engine and various special-purpose hardware. The system boasts with 1280*800 screen as well as optional keyboard.
Asustek did not comment on the news-story.

With the announcement of the National League and American League All-Star rosters, there is always going to be speculation of who should have gotten in, and who should have stayed out. Voters did a better job this year on who should be playing in the game, with a few exceptions. The National League roster looks more "deserving" than the American League, but both lineups look solid. Here are the top 10 snubs for the American League, including hitters and pitchers.
1) Paul Konerko – CHW
The guy who has received all the publicity for being left out of the big game has received that press for good reason. Paul Konerko is a potential MVP-candidate, but the AL is too stacked with slugging first basemen. (more…)

Just want to tell you guys how very much I appreciate your podcasts. I just discovered your site last week from a Utube site, How to learn Spanish. I have been studying Spanish on my own for more years than I want to admit using various sources and by far you are the absolute best way I have found to improve spanish. I love it!
I love your podcasts; they are very helpful. I wish I had known about them several years ago. I visit Mexico each year and I intend to live there within a couple of years. Soon I will become a member and help support your work as it is greatly needed for those wanting to learn Spanish like me.

Peer Pressure
Who's been here? You're strolling down the street with a friend when a dress in a store window catches her eye. You both pop into the shop for a closer look—then end up leaving an hour later with an armful of new purchases. Of course, the spree was fun and had all the makings of quality time together—except for the part when you get home and realize you nearly spent your entire paycheck on that dress, perfume and boots.
No wonder "word of mouth" has been shown to be more effective than traditional advertising, with 92% of consumers saying they listen to friends' recommendations over all other forms. And spontaneous shopping trips (and tips) aren't the only ways our friends may be consciously--or subconsciously--affecting our ability to save. They can also influence everything from how we define success to how we measure our own worth. (Does making it mean having the same luxury car as your neighbor Joanna?)
Wonder how much your friends may be shaping your money habits? Ask yourself these 6 questions.
Do you often compare yourself to your friends?
You've just gotten a promotion or paid off your student loans. So, why do you feel inadequate every time you see your best friend in yet another fabulous new coat? "People try to keep up with their friends' spending because social rank in society is comparative," explains Michael W. Kraus, assistant professor of psychology at the University of Illinois, who studies social hierarchy and power, status and influence. "We are continually comparing ourselves to our close others. If we fall behind, we can feel like a less valuable member of society."
The fix: Remind yourself about your own successes before you meet up with your friend. And don't forget that even if someone seems like they're more successful than you or seems to be able to afford more on the same paycheck, you're probably not getting the full story. One shortcut: log onto your bank accounts before you walk out the door. Seeing all those numbers just may be the simplest route to an ego boost before that dinner.
Do you use shopping as an excuse to socialize?
Michigan State University researchers recently confirmed what we already know: women shop for reasons well beyond necessity. We often use it as a means to socialize or to lift our mood and feel the affects of "retail therapy." That may help explain why women account for more than 80 percent of consumer spending, or about $5 trillion a year, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
The fix: Take away the temptation to spend when you're together by hosting friends at your place, or meeting for a picnic or barbecue in the park. You'll have fewer distractions competing for your money and attention, which means you can focus on your friends instead. You may find both the level of your bank balance and the quality of your conversations improve.
Are you spending too much time on Facebook?
Your friend's tweet about a sample sale near your office has you eying the clock. And after scrolling through those gorgeous photos your colleague just posted on Facebook of her recent trip to Santorini, you find youself Googling trips to the Greek Islands. If you find that social media is influencing how you think about spending your money, you're not alone. One recent study by Social Commerce Today found that more than 81 percent of consumers use the advice posted by friends and family on a social media platform before making a purchase. And, apparently, we're giving a lot of advice. Another widely cited academic study found that frequent Facebook users are more likely to have credit card debt than those who use the social platform less frequently.
The fix: It's important to remember that social media only offers a glimpse into a person's life--and a heavily edited one, at that. You have no idea how long your colleague scrimped and saved for that trip to the Greek Islands, or for how long she may be paying it off. Facebook and Twitter are also no substitute for (real) face time. Check yourself if you feel like you're depending too much on social media to stay in touch. Picking up the phone instead of posting a message on Facebook can help you forge a stronger, and less superficial, connection with your friends (and "friends") and give you a more realistic picture of their lives.
Can you hang out without spending money?
In a new take on how we gauge happiness, research published in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science, found a link between how a person rates her overall sense of satisfaction with how much respect she gets from the people around her—not by how much money she has in the bank. A nice reminder that we're happiest with friends who admire us for who we are and not by how we demonstrate our wealth.
The fix: The best relationships are built on mutual respect, not by what's in your wallet. Challenge yourself to try taking spending money out of the equation completely when making plans with friends this week. Have friends over instead of going out. Train together for a road race for charity, or just take a stroll in the park together.
Do you use your friends' advice to justify your spending?
When your best friend says to throw caution to the wind and sign that contract for the new sports car you just test drove together, think again. You may be happier savoring that urge to splurge than making the big-purchase commitment. We often get more pleasure from wanting an item than actually owning it, says a new Journal of Consumer Research study. People go into debt all the time believing that finalizing a purchase will make them as happy as the wishful thinking that preceded it. But scientists have found that those positive emotions are actually short-lived, dissipating shortly after you've signed on the dotted line.
The fix: Your best friend may be your #1 fan. But make sure you're able to recognize when she's doling out great advice and when she's just trying to show you support in whatever decision you make.
How are your friends' money habits?
There's plenty of research out there that shows how your friends can be a negative influence when it comes to drinking and eating habits. But their bad money habits can also rub off on you. Just as friends may want you to drink more to justify their own drinking behavior, they may feel more justified in their spending habits if they have a friend who's willing to splurge as well.
The fix: There's no question we're influenced by the behavior and habits of our close friends. But just as your friends can influence you to spend more, they can also offer crucial support to keep you on track financially. Find a few friends who want to improve their finances and work on doing it together. Or just tell your friends that you're trying to spend less and save money for something (whether it's your next vacation or your retirement), and ask them to support you. You might find you inspire them to do the same.

I had to post this 'cuz I just saw "0 comments" and it's the first time I've seen that in a while.
Anyway, I don't know anything about this game, but it can't be that hard to turn money pickups into something other than dollar signs.

|Wilson Pro Staff 95 Racquet Scores
Fans of the Pro Staff line will be pleased with this latest iteration of the Wilson Pro Staff 95. Similar to the versions that precede it, this racquet is light and fast, with incredible control and feel from all areas of the court. Our playtesters unanimously enjoyed how connected they felt to their shots, allowing them to place the ball in tight spots on the court with confidence. The light, fast feel provided exceptional maneuverability, especially at net and on returns. However, that light weight also led to a bit of instability and a lack of power. Our team thought the racquet twisted on off-center hits, especially when trying to return a big serve or deflect a hard hit groundstroke. However, this traditional-feeling racquet still continued to impress, and impress it did with all of our testers singing its praises. All in all, this is a great option for the player who enjoys a fast control-oriented racquet.
From the baseline, the Pro Staff 95 felt light and maneuverable to our playtesters -- and also low-powered. This allowed our team to swing big without fear of losing control of their groundstrokes. Chris appreciated the classic Pro Staff feel, but at times he wished for a little easier access to power and spin. He said, "From the first swing, it was apparent Wilson had retained the light and fast feel of the previous Pro Staff 95. This racquet came around very quickly and reminded me of the Spin version of the 95 we recently tested. However, this one has a more traditional feel, which had me feeling very connected to the ball. Touch and control were both excellent. I was finding my targets on drop shots and angles, but I have to admit, I was missing the spin I found with the Pro Staff 95S. This one felt more dialed in on flatter shots, but it lacked the crazy spin and access to pace the Spin version has. With that being said, I enjoyed hitting this stick immensely. It still offers more spin than many control racquets, and I was driving the ball with confidence. I felt like I could stay on the gas without losing any control, and that's a nice feeling to have."
Andy, who was enamored with the Pro Staff 95 from the get-go, loved the precision and feel. He said, "This really felt like an extension of my arm from the baseline. A real magic wand! Although I didn't feel like I was hitting the ball as big as I could with some other racquets, I always felt in total command of my shots. I felt like I could do anything I wanted with the ball. The low-powered response and fast feel through the air made it seem like I could swing as hard as I wanted and still stay in control of where the ball was going. It's not the most powerful or stable racquet out there, but it's very fast through the air and offers excellent control and spin. It also had an extraordinary feel that had me completely connected to each shot!"
The lighter, low-powered response allowed Sean to take huge cuts at his forehand, but he did wish for a bit more plow through and stability. He offered, "For the most part, this racquet was very impressive from the baseline. I loved the low-powered, control-oriented feel that it delivered, and I found that I could really swing out on my forehand side with confidence. This racquet also provided great spin potential on both aggressive topspin shots and slices, which I utilized often with this particular racquet. The only issue I had was with the lack of plow through, which affected my ability to redirect shots that were landing deep in the court."
It's a little lighter than what he's used to, but Troy still found surprising stability and playability from the baseline with the Pro Staff 95. He said, "There was an adjustment period when swinging this racquet from the baseline. It felt like a feather compared with its heavyweight cousin, the Six.One 95 (my current racquet). It wasn't so much the overall weight that was the problem for me, but the swingweight being more than 20 points lower than my current setup made it difficult for me to time the ball when trying to attack from the baseline. After a couple of hours of testing I started to appreciate the amount of control, spin and overall feel this racquet possesses. Due to the flexible feel and relatively low swingweight, this racquet allows for huge swings at the ball and precise control to keep the ball in the court. Even though this racquet is sub-12 ounces, I found a relatively stable feel during heavy-hitting exchanges from the baseline. I was really happy with how well I could control my slice backhand, and hit the drop shot when I found my opponent deep in the court."
The extraordinary feel and precision of the Pro Staff 95 continued to impress our playtesters at net. "Simply put, this racquet is one of the best I've ever used when it came to net play," raved Sean. "With stability, forgiveness and a lightning fast feel, this racquet proved to be lethal at net. I found that I could punch my volleys deep into the court with a simple flick of the wrist. Although it was stable, this racquet was most impressive when I needed to produce short touch shots at net. The soft, forgiving feel the racquet offered was fantastic, and I felt a little like Roger Federer with the types of shots I came up with."
Troy also really enjoyed volleying with it, but he thought that with a little more heft he could produce depth more easily. He offered, "I found a lot of precision and feel when coming to the net with this racquet. I enjoyed how easy it was to put the ball near the lines. The touch this racquet possesses will be great for crafty players who can hit the drop volley consistently. The downside for me with this racquet was its lack of mass in the head. This racquet was getting pushed around more than I would have liked anytime I had a laser shot hit my way. I also found that it was harder to achieve the depth on volleys that comes easily with my Six.One 95 and the Pro Staff 90. Overall, there is a lot of feel and control when volleying with this racquet as well as a ton of maneuverability that will be greatly appreciated by doubles specialists."
Chris was also volleying with confidence and control, but thought a little more weight in the hoop would improve the racquet's stability. He said, "The plush and soft feel of this racquet at net was awesome. I was hitting touch and placement volleys well. With all the control I had, finding my targets was not an issue. My confidence was there when punching the ball deep or when cutting a sharp angle. I found myself more willing to flirt with the lines and was being very aggressive with my targeting. As much as I loved this racquet at net, I knew it had the potential to be even better with some added weight. I hit a couple of customized versions of this racquet toward the end of the test that added stability and plow through to the already impressive touch and feel."
Echoing those sentiments, Andy said, "The maneuverability, control and feel made this a really enjoyable racquet to volley with. Once again, I felt like I could manipulate the ball to do anything I wanted off the strings. The one drawback of the light weight is the lack of stability, which is more apparent at net than anywhere else. Shots hit off center would cause the racquet to flutter sometimes. However, in my opinion, the positives outweighed the negatives in this case."
For the most part, our playtesters enjoyed the fast and precise feel of the Pro Staff 95 while serving, too. Troy was getting great spin and locating his serves well, but he wasn't hitting his flat serves as big as he normally does due to the lower weight of the racquet. He offered, "Serving was really fun. This racquet was extremely easy to manipulate when I snapped my wrist, and my spin serves had some nasty hook and kick. I was surprised at how much more action I was getting on kick serves considering this racquet was very shoulder-friendly when having to reach behind my head. I found lots of precision when mixing up my serves. The flat serve up the T, body serves, kick serves, and the slice out-wide -- they were all in command with this racquet. The only knock I had with this stick was that my flat first serves up the T didn't quite have the sting on them that I'm used to with racquets that have more mass."
Given that he normally likes a heavier racquet, Chris was surprised how much he enjoyed serving with this lighter option. He said, "For some reason I served better than expected with this racquet. It was a little light for my preferred spec range. On paper, this racquet is not heavy enough for me to find the pace I did. However, on court I was serving very well. I was getting the ball consistently to my targets and getting it there with good pace. The level of spin I was getting was good, but nothing close to the Spin version of this racquet. However, serving was pretty solid and only got better once we had beefed it up with some lead tape."
Sean was also able to take advantage of the maneuverability and control the Pro Staff 95 offered on his serves. He said, "This racquet also performed amazingly well on serves. With such a maneuverable feel, I was able to place the ball wherever I wanted in the service box with great precision. The fast feel and access to spin also complemented my serves, and I was able to swing out to either create a big first serve or drop a second serve into a corner with accuracy. The stability was compromised slightly because of the head light balance, although the flexible and forgiving feel made up for anything hit off center."
Andy found the racquet to be very light, at times too light, on serves. He explained, "It's easy to generate racquet head speed overhead, which enabled me to get some nice power and spin on my serves. Sometimes it was so fast through the air I would lose control of the tip of the racquet, causing my serves to be a little erratic. With a little bit more mass I think I could've gotten a little more power and control, but the fast feel in this case did feel nice. This was my least favorite shot to hit with the Pro Staff 95, but it still felt good."
The maneuverability of the Pro Staff 95 made it really easy for our playtesters to get it around their bodies on returns, though the lack of mass was also apparent and resulted in a lack of plow through and power for some of the team. Andy felt completely dialed in on his returns. He said, "The racquet continued to feel like an extension of my arm when returning, and I felt like I could do whatever I wanted off the return. I could step in, take the ball early and use my opponent's pace to return aggressively, or I could sit back and neutralize my opponent with a chip return. I was feeling completely confident. Loved it!"
Chris also returned well with the Pro Staff 95, but he wanted a bit more heft for his chip returns. He offered, "Light and fast, this was an easy racquet to whip through contact on returns. I never felt like I had to rush to get the racquet in position and I really enjoyed its head light feel. I could have done with a tad more stability at contact on block returns, but as soon as I added some racquet head speed it was a non-issue. The blend of control, power and spin was solid. I had a good sense of depth and pace as soon as the ball left the strings."
Troy also appreciated the control and fast feel on returns, but he also longed for a bit more weight in the hoop. He said, "The maneuverability of this racquet allowed me to get my racquet on a lot of serves, even those that I thought I had no chance of returning. I found plenty of control to steer returns away from the net man when playing doubles. I liked how I could knife the backhand slice return at the server's feet or draw the opponent to the net against his will. As I noticed on volleys, this racquet seemed to get pushed around anytime I had to deflect a heavy hit serve. It just did not have the plow through that I have grown accustomed to with my own racquets."
Sean also found the lack of mass most apparent when returning serve. He explained, "The lighter swingweight seemed to affect my serve returns more than my other shots. Although the racquet was incredibly maneuverable, I felt like I was being pushed around, especially when I was unable to take a full swing at the ball. In many circumstances I found that I was leaving my return shorter than intended, and I had to make a concerted effort to keep my returns deep. When I did get a good read on the serve the lower power let me take a full cut at the ball and control the point with an aggressive return."
Chris - "I liked the feel, control and touch. The head light balance made it a very fast racquet."
Sean - "This frame was incredibly fast and maneuverable, while still offering a great balance of power and control."
Troy - "The feel and precision definitely reminded me that the Pro Staff line of racquets are designed for purists seeking no frills from their racquet."
Andy - "Loved the maneuverability, control and feel. The balance felt dead on to me, too."
Chris - "Nothing really. I didn't find the spin of the S version and it felt better once weighted up, but it's still a great racquet."
Sean - "Just that there was a lack of stability and plow through because of the low swingweight."
Troy - "The lack of plow through compared to racquets I gravitate toward. I had to adjust to this racquet, and it never quite allowed me to feel comfortable on the attack."
Andy - "The racquet fluttered a bit at times on off-center contact, especially at the net. Other than that, and a slight loss in control on serve, there wasn't much I didn't like. I was a big fan of this racquet."
Chris - "It is very easy to compare this racquet to the Pro Staff 95S. I actually like the S version a tad more. It offers better spin and easier access to pace and depth. This one offers a more traditional feel and more control on flat shots. Other racquets that offer a fast and mobile feel with a high level of control are the Yonex VCORE Tour 97 310, Volkl Organix 10 295, Tecnifibre TFight 315 Ltd. TP ATP and the Dunlop Biomimetic M3.0."
Sean - "I was reminded immediately of the Yonex VCORE Tour 97 310g playtest I was recently on because of the fast swing speeds and whippy feel. The Volkl Organix 9 also came to mind because of its similar specifications, although neither of those frames could match the softer overall feel of the Pro Staff 95."
Troy - "There are some definite traits, like the feel, control and spin, that remind me that this Pro Staff comes from the same gene pool as the 90, although the 95 lives only in the shadows of the 90 when it comes to rock-solid plow through and stability. This racquet had similar traits to the Dunlop Biomimetic 200 Lite, although this Pro Staff 95 possesses better response and feel. I found a somewhat similar power level to the Head MicroGel Radical Midplus when comparing them in their stock-forms."
Andy - "It has a lower swingweight than what I normally play with, but I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. The traditional feel and response were spectacular in this racquet, and the Parallel Drilling opened up the sweetspot, making it play more like a 98 square inch head than a 95. It reminded me a lot of two of my previous racquets of choice, the Head MicroGel Radical Midplus and the Yonex RDiS 100 Mid, with the Pro Staff's level of forgiveness lying somewhere in between those two. With a little bit of weight added (but without changing the balance), this could become one of my favorite racquets to hit around with."

Q. David Bowers: The following narrative, with minor editing, is from my "Silver Dollars & Trade Dollars of the United States: A Complete Encyclopedia" (Wolfeboro, NH: Bowers and Merena Galleries, Inc., 1993)
Numismatic Information
Commentary: The 1897-S was issued in bag, quantities from the San Francisco Mint in the mid-1920s, 1950s, and early 1960s and was not worth a significant premium at the time, nor was it ever considered to be a scarce date. Many from the distributions of the 1950s and 1960s went to the gaming tables in Reno and Las Vegas. Some found their way to investors and hoarders, including LaVere Redfield, who reportedly had as many as 20 bags. Quantities persisted on the coin market for much of the 1970s, but by now large groups are seldom seen.
Circulated grades: The 1897-S dollar is common in worn grades.
Mint State grades: The 1897-S is readily available in all Mint State grades, although most are at lower levels. An estimated 40,000 to 70,000 exist from MS-60 through 62 grades, followed by 17,000 to 27,000 in MS-63, 14,000 to 20,000 MS-65, and a fairly generous 3,500 to 6,000 MS-65.
Most pieces are sharply struck and have nice lustre. All in all, a Mint State 1897-S coin is a delightful coin.
Prootlike coins: Prooflike coins remain by the thousands. DMPL coins are four or five times scarcer than prooflike coins. The usually seen coin is very attractive, but flatly struck and, if in a lower Mint State grade, with bagmarks. The Redfield holdings contained over a thousand prooflikes. Most prooflike and DMPL specimens are in the MS-60 to MS-63 range. This is the most common prooflike San Francisco Mint Morgan dollar dated after 1882
Circulation strikes:
1. Normal date: Breen-5652. Various positional varieties. Probably not all the 38 pairs of dies were used.
Dies prepared: Obverse: 38; Reverse: 38
Circulation strike mintage: 5,825,000; Delivery figures by month: January: 800,000; February: 800,000; March: 800,000; April: 800,000; May: 800,000; June: 475,000; July: none; August: none; Septem-ber: none; October: 300,000; November: 600,000; December: 450,000.
Estimated quantity melted: Many as part of various melts.
Availability of prooflike coins: Fairly plentiful; the most available San Francisco Mint issue after 1882. DMPL coins are about five times rarer than prooflikes. Most are in lower Mint State grades.
Characteristics of striking: The 1897-S is usually seen sharply struck with excellent lustre.
Known hoards of Mint State coins: Many bags came out from the San Francisco Mint in the 1950s and early 1960s; many were in the Redfield estate (1976).
The 1897-S is readily available in Mint State. The typical coin is well struck and very attractive.
Additional Information
Mint Report
The Annual Report of the Director of the Mint, 1897, told of transfers of dollars for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1897:
San Francisco. In mint July 1, 1896, 37,459,918; coinage, fiscal year, 8,425,000; total, 45,884,918; in mint July 1, 1897, 45,458,000; distributed from mint, 426,918.

2009 ICAST Winner Best of Show - Hard Lure
Combining the best of the lipless crankbait form and detail with the additional flash and vibration of a spinner blade, the award-winning Sebile Spin Shad is the ultimate tail spinner. Heavy metal alloy Bismuth inside the main body allows for a heavy yet compact presentation, and the level of detail and intricacy on the main body and Shad Blade rivals that of any crankbait. Affixed to an inline swivel, the Shad Blade resembles a baitfish in its own right, and its wide front, narrow tail and slightly cupped backside are designed to work together to allow it to turn at any retrieve speed from ultra slow to super fast - delivering seductive flash and vibration.
Extremely versatile, the Sebile Spin Shad is the ideal lure for a variety of bass fishing and saltwater presentations, including bottom-bouncing in deep water, sub-surface swimming, and long-distance casting to schooling fish. Winner of the prestigious 2009 ICAST Hard Bait Best of Show, the Sebile Spin Shad is available in a variety of effective colors to match the forage in your area.

Comments: Threw this bait for the first time last week; Wow! Got on a school of 3.5 and 4 lbers, they where on it better than live bait! Cast a mile, comes out of snags pretty good as well . Air temp was in the 30's , water in the mid 40's! I was just tryin to see if they hit something other than a blade bait and man did I guess right! Now might be my fall go-to bait!
From: Sushi: CT, USA
Comments: my friend has let me use this at lake Murray got blown up when reeling it in and one by the shore they were 1 and 2 but still highly recomend it
From: Isai: San Diego, CA
Comments: A good thing about this lure is the quality of the components. The treble hook is rather soft but still strong enough to keep it's form on hooked up fish. On the 3/4 oz size, when the hook fatigues, it will sometimes, hang up on the lure's back. There's not a lot of vibration feedback for slower retrieve speeds but the blade will still spin. The wide belly of the lure helps to prevent the treble hook from snagging into structures.
From: Slipperybob: Lilcan, MN
Comments: I use this for fall and it work great. Let it drop all the way to the bottom of the water and play with it. Oh yeah, you can cast this thing a mile, even with the 3/4. Great product.
Comments:Very good bait. The 3/4 oz is pretty small, casts a country mile and you can vary the depth of the retrieve, drag it on the bottom if you want, fish it close to the surface. Very versatile and handles soft cover well.

Great tires and they are well made
By Sid

About Me Casual/ Recreational
I think they're a good all-around tire
Gipper Grabber and Go
By Riley
from Jericho, VT
See all my reviews
The tires were great and grabbed at everything I go over. They are a big help and really bite in on the turns. Great for going over the roots and durable enough for the rocks. I have put them through the paces about 5 times now and don't see them giving me any issues. Great buy for the price.
Very happy with these tires
By Jeremy D
from Redlands, CA
About Me Avid Cyclist
I changed out six tires on three mountain bikes (belonging to my wife and two kids) with these fairly aggressive tires just before a trip to Moab. The tread pattern and tire appearance are very similar to the tires on my own mountain bike, Maxxis Ardents. The tires held up very well to the abuse that Moab is known for, with many hard hits on slickrock, deep sand, and technical climbs and descents. I am very pleased with these tires, with the caveat that they have only been on for ~ 150 miles. My wife's 29er has tubeless setup, and I was a bit worried that these tires wouldn't work. It was a little hard to get the beads to set, but they stayed put just fine and didn't give any problems. So, I'd say that they are tubeless compatible. Good tires for a great price!

Not much tread
By Mikes
from New England
I bought these to replace a worn set of WTB V-Raptors on my #2 bike. The tread depth was less than 2mm new. I only have a few miles on them right now and haven't ridden them in anything loose or wet. I expect them to wear out quickly due to the shallow tread. The good part is they were inexpensive, The traction seems good on dry unpaved but groomed bike paths.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
no much tread
By mikes
from central mass.
These looked like an aggressive tread design with lots of traction. What the product photo doesn't show is that the tread is less than 2mm deep. The only good about them was the price. They were discounted under $13.
Great Grip
By JBD
from Boston
This is one of the best mountain bike tires I have ridden. I use it on my 29er. I was looking for a tire that grips in the mud and roots, as my old tire tended to spin. The Grinder is terrific -- great traction. At least as good as the Raptor, my favorite on my 26" bike. Do not be fooled by the low price -- this is a quality tire.
Great grippy tire
By Ef
from Atlanta, GA
Good balance between grip and knobs. My previous back tire was sliding on hills but this one gives you paddles so no more slides. Great tire for the crazy low price.
Nice multi use tire
By Mosdad
from Knoxville, TN
I've found this tire to be confortable both on single track and on pavement/greenways
Great price but not a race tire
By Budget racer
from Houston, TX
For the price this tire can't be beat. Unless you are really racing I can't see this tire being anything but perfect.Climbing they work fine and they go on super easy. They just don't hold in corners like my WTB race tires. For the price and intended user, they are perfect. But if you're a broke racer trying to save a dime, stick with brand name tires.I have these on my SS training bike. I noticed that I would lose pressure while riding.I would start out great but by the end of 20 miles of singletrack I would have squishy tires. I attribute this to a really flexy sidewall.

Abstract: Little is known about national trends in sexual behavior among MSM in the US. Data from the 2002 and 2006–2010 National Survey of Family Growth were used to compare sexual behaviors of sexually active MSM. Mean number of recent male partners significantly decreased from 2.9 in 2002 to 2.1 in 2006–2010 (P = 0.027), particularly among young MSM. Other sexual risk behaviors did not change or decrease over time. Our findings that sexual risk decreased as HIV and syphilis increased among MSM suggest that factors in addition to individual-level sexual risk should also be examined in relation to recent disease increases.

Waves of grain!The Nording Grain Series Freehand pipes come in a variety of options. But among the group, each features a brilliant, vertical grain pattern, high-quality briar, large bowl, and an army mount mouthpiece. The Grade #1 features the highest quality briar and grain, and it works down from there. But unless you're a serious collector, you probably won't even notice the difference. Either way, you're in for a beautiful, highly-functional pipe that you'll use and cherish for years to come. It's Nording at his best, at a price that only CI can deliver.
Just awesome. After buying this pipe, I am considering never buying any pipe but Nording ever again.
Something on your mind? Get a little more 411, pal. Ask a product specific question about Nording Freehand Grain Series Pipes.

What interested me is that he said some dogs build up an immunity to it in varying degrees. We live in a wet coastal area with lots of cows and pasture and cow ponds and creeks. Giardia is prevalent. My vet, who has lived and practiced here for 20 plus years said he estimates that at least half of all local dogs have it, but with little detrimental effects due to an immunity to it.
I had never heard this before.
Isn't there a vaccine that helps build immunity to giardia?

Largest freshman class expected this fall
Largest freshman class expected this fall
Aug. 21, 2013
Contact: Chloe Kennedy, News and New Media Writer
865.981.8209; email@example.com
This fall, Maryville College expects to welcome 362 freshmen, the largest incoming freshman class in the College's 194-year history. Classes begin Wed., Aug. 28.
While some freshman student-athletes have already moved into residence halls, the majority of new students will move in on Thurs., Aug. 22. Returning students will move in on Sun., Aug. 25.
"Students are choosing Maryville College as their college destination because of its academic rigor, leadership and growth opportunities, and because of the relationships that exist between faculty and students," said Cyndi Sweet, director of admissions. "Students appreciate the history and tradition of the college, as well as the advantage an MC degree will give them after graduation.
"This new group of students is a result of the hard work of countless people in the Admissions office, Financial Aid office and the campus as a whole," Sweet continued. "We can't wait to see the impact this group of students has on the MC community."
Due to the increase in students, Maryville College Residence Life staff members have been working to accommodate students in the College's residence halls.
In order to provide space for all students, some of the double rooms will now house three students, and some of the single rooms will now house two students. The students in the newly doubled and tripled rooms will be relocated to standard rooms as space becomes available. In the meantime, those students will receive housing refunds.
Of the 829 students living on campus, 34 students will be affected by this change.
"We are excited to welcome our largest freshman class ever," said Vandy Kemp, vice president and dean of students. "As a residential college, it is important to us to provide the best possible living experience in our campus community, and we are ready! The campus looks great, our residence halls are waiting, and our staff and faculty are ready to help our newest students make a successful transition to the College."
- Students come from 23 states and six countries.
- 69 percent are from Tennessee
- 50 percent are male and 50 percent are female
- Their average high school GPA is 3.44, and about 12 percent had a high school GPA of 4.0 or higher
- Their average ACT score is 23.5
- This class is 20 percent minority and includes seven international students
- In addition to freshmen, MC is welcoming 54 new transfer students this year
Enrollment numbers are finalized on Sept. 10.
Maryville College is ideally situated in Maryville, Tenn., between the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and Knoxville, the state's third largest city. Founded in 1819, it is the 12th oldest institution of higher learning in the South and maintains an affiliation with the Presbyterian Church (USA). Known for offering its students a rigorous and highly personal experience that includes an undergraduate research requirement, Maryville College is a nationally ranked institution of higher learning that successfully joins the liberal arts and professional preparation. Total enrollment for the fall 2016 semester is 1,197.

TRAINING LEVEL: Basic
CLASS SIZE: Minimum: 12 Maximum: 30
Strategies for Developing Work Zone Traffic Analyses is offered as a one-day instructor-led course utilizing lecture and small-group collaborative exercises to educate participants on how to develop effective transportation modeling strategies to support work zone-related decision-making. There is no hands-on computer based modeling work conducted in this course; rather it deals with developing analysis plans that combine people, data and tools to address work zone issues. The course is designed to cover:
Characterizing a work zone with respect to a prospective analysis
Classes of analytical tools and their capabilities within the context of work zones
Selecting an appropriate transportation modeling approach maximizing insight into potential impacts and mitigating technical risk
The course includes lecture, full-group interaction, and small group activities. The purpose of the course is three-fold. First, it will educate the participants regarding the constraints and opportunities of work zone analysis associated with available transportation modeling tools. Second, it will build familiarity for the participants with the various work zone factors influencing the development of a transportation analysis plan. Third, it will provide the participants with practical experience in developing analysis plans in a collaborative process considering issues ranging from work zone characteristics, performance measurement, technical risk assessment and resource constraints.
Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:
A mix of experience with traffic analysis tools and work zone planning among participants is preferred. No prior experience with traffic analysis tools is required. The course is designed to promote interactions between participants. Therefore, the group is likely to benefit from a variety of viewpoints if participants have varied levels of analytical experience and diverse agency affiliations. The group may include:
State Department of Transportation Staff (District Engineers, Corridor Planners, Project Eng., Traffic Eng., Work Zone Planners)
FHWA staff (Division Staff, Transportation Engineers, Traffic Staff, Planners)
Metropolitan Planning Organization Staff (Planners)

Hi Omid, I looks like Don Condurro is doing well, some instagram photosof Paulie Gee from april 2013.
Those Da michele pizzas look great as always. Omid what is your dough weight at Burnos? They seemed like they were pretty big. Maybe 275?
Omid, what do they/you use for their bench flour?
Dear Larry, I have some practical familiarity with the method of tightly wrapping a piece of dough in a cloth. I believe it is known as "legato". Here are a couple of videos I found on the subject on YouTube:Omid
hello Omid,I refer to an older topic on that you mentioned in this thread.For my goal to reproduce the Franco Manca dough, I want growing a "real Italian pasta madre" with a lot of lactic acid bacteria and acetic acid bacteria as little as possible:flour 100%, water 59%, salt 3%, criscito 1,7% (converted from the recipe you've posted)This is what I want to achieve with "legatura della pasta madre" as the Italians call wrapping the firm leaven in a kitchen towel, as you wrote earlier.Because I couldn't find an exact instruction in English language I improvised and followed the instructions from this interesting approach:http://vivalafocaccia.com/2010/02/27/video-ricetta-per-rinfrescare-il-lievito-naturale/The possibility of kneading small amounts of stiff sourdough with a pasta machine is very effective! Only I do not know whether to enforce the gluten development in this way or whether the dough culture should do this on its own at the right temperature and the right time? what do you think?After kneading with the pasta machine I have the dough (unlike the video) not scored and placed in the refrigerator, but wrapped in a cloth and laced.Now at this point I need some help: at what temperature and for how long do you think the "legato" should rest?I did leave it at room temperature (about 68°F) overnight (about 7 hours). But the vinegary smell in the morning has clearly shown that it was either too warm, to long or both.And further, it would also be interesting what the exact difference between the scored pasta madre (as seen on the Caputo sack and in the video of Viva la Focaccia) and the wrapped/legato pasta marde?The one way enables relaxation, while the other type is a (wrong) vacuum. What does what? When using which?Thanks, Todi
Here is another short, interesting video.In the video, Vincenzo, a tour guide, stated:"What we believe is the real pizza here in Naples is the one which does not need to be chewed, which melts in your mouth, goes straight through your throat and into your stomach."
Omid, have you experienced this phenomenon of pizza that does not need to be chewed? I realize that this is a hyperbolic statement, but I wonder if there isn't some truth to it as well. My own dough certainly must be chewed, and every other pizza I have had required substantial chewing. Which I don't mind at all. Yet I find the idea of a very light pizza appealing as well. So I'm wondering if you can identify with Vincenzo in this video, or if he is just carried away as some times happens.On a more practical level, and perhaps to encourage you to expand a bit on this topic, if we are aiming for a very tender crust, what do you consider to be the key factors in achieving such a crust? Regards,TinRoof
Sir, I have a Santos mixer also, I would like to slow down the fork speed. Would you share with how I can achieve this. Much appreciated, Vin
Dear Vincenzo, it was about a year ago when my friend (an electronic engineer who lives in Russia now) helped me to reduce the RPM of my Santos motor without any modifications to the mixer. Unfortunately, I do not remember the details of how he accomplished this. Basically, he used an electronic module that, if I remember correctly, would send electric pulses to the Santos motor at longer intervals (without reducing the 60Hz frequency) in order to emulate 30Hz or lower frequencies, hence reducing the RPM of the motor by half or lower. I will send him an email to provide me with details. I will inform you. . . .
