A Rather Extensive "Remodeling" (Of Everything But The Façade)
While the façade of 2178 Pine Street hangs like a Hollywood set with nothing left behind, technically the potential historic resource hasn't been demolished but is rather being "remodeled," with permits to convert the first floor (which no longer exists) to habitable living space, remodel the second and third floors of the building (which no longer exist), and to add a garage below.
Last used as a four-unit building, the
former Victorian was purchased for $1,663,000 this past April having originally been built around 1900 as a single-family home.

Oh man... right behind my old flat on California. When I moved all the other people on Pine were having their ghastly garages put in. Years and years of noise and dust. So glad I moved before this monstrosity began.

Nice to see the building restored and off street parking added.
Posted by: Futurist at December 11, 2013 2:57 PM
Am I the only one who looks at this and says, "Why even bother?" I mean about the facade, not the rebuild.
[Editor's Note: Because a "demolition" permit would have been much more time consuming and expensive, if not impossible, to get.]

A friend with an old house once joked to me that the city should have a special extension of garbage day when you could just push your old house out to the curb…

Least they could do is strip off the stucco and restore the missing gingerbread if they are going this far.

Someone is doing the exact same thing to a Victorian right next to me on 17th Street near Diamond. They bought the place, gutted it to the point it's just a multistoried shell. They dug out the foundation to put in a garage. The large backyard has been carved out.

I'd much rather have the facade preserved than destroyed - I'd actually rather have the interior period details preserved too, but given the choice I'll take the facade and historic streetscape over a complete demolition.

>Nice to see the building restored
Thank you for the laugh. Next time we are out of milk I will go to the store, get a new carton of milk, take the front of the old carton and glue it on to the new milk container. I am sure the family will then thank me for having "restored" the milk rather then just getting a new carton.

I think this would qualify as defacto demo, it appears the all but the facade and one lot line wall has been removed ... hope the planning police doesn't show up.
Posted by: knock at December 11, 2013 5:11 PM
No surer way to wreck the streetscape for pedestrians than to add more garages.
Posted by: EJ at December 11, 2013 5:14 PM
This is facadectomy and the trend itself facadism or facadomy. This rather defacto demo technique is encouraged to prevent the "Sunset Specials" that were such an ugly problem in the 70s and 80s.
Posted by: Pioneer at December 11, 2013 5:21 PM
I assume they're going to preserve the historic lean.
Posted by: BobN at December 11, 2013 5:24 PM
Well, since all the bike nuts who are running the SFMTA are removing our public parking spaces, then we're just gonna have to build off street parking under our houses.
Aren't we?
Posted by: Futurist at December 11, 2013 5:26 PM
Futurist, I see no problem with this. Why should a person get free parking on the city streets. If a person wants a place to store a car, they should pay for that space.
Posted by: SimpleSimon at December 11, 2013 5:37 PM
Ah wait.
It's not free. It's called taxes. We all pay them.
Some more some less. Trouble is, the SFMTA keeps taking away our parking, and not reducing our taxes.
Not cool.

Posted by: david m at December 11, 2013 6:19 PM
Regarding the editor's comments about how hard it is to get a demo permit….. most of these vics have a lot of structural issues -- both in the original construction and also damage/decay over time. I've seen engineer's letters attesting to this sort of thing and these buildings get demo permits.
That said, another issue is that for a reno, your property tax basis doesn't go up that much whereas for a new building, you're probably assessed to market…
Posted by: around1905 at December 11, 2013 6:24 PM
Well, you could also ban all people who disagree with other people.
Just a thought, david m.
Posted by: Futurist at December 11, 2013 6:25 PM
like losing 4 units to an old single family home with parking... how is this good?
Posted by: david m at December 11, 2013 6:26 PM
It's called personal choice. It's called pumping money into the economy. It's called creating construction jobs.
It's called keeping some aspect of our Victorian architecture, where appropriate, and not just destroying it.
Posted by: Futurist at December 11, 2013 6:33 PM
It's highly unlikely they won't scrape the stucco off and restore an elegant period facade.
Posted by: Invented at December 11, 2013 6:44 PM
Adding the garage will likely remove two parking spots (based on google streetview) on the street.
Posted by: EJ at December 11, 2013 7:40 PM
Futurist, I pay my taxes so the streets can be maintained so that I can go from point a to point b, not to give some a place to store their car. People pay hundreds of dollars a month for parking. If a person wants to store their care on the street, they should pay the city for that privilege.
Posted by: SimpleSimon at December 11, 2013 8:30 PM
It's good that they will be storing their car off of the street in a garage then, right?
Posted by: Adam at December 11, 2013 8:51 PM
I'm a building professional, and I'm taking some time out here to say how much this project angers me. To all of us who expend precious time and resources navigating the byzantine planning approvals process in the city, and do things "by the book", crap like these guys are pulling is just a slap in the face.
Type "San Francisco Property Information Map" into Google, and when at the city web site, type "2178 Pine" into the address search, and then hit the "building permits" tab to see the permits they have.
Yes, they have permits. But this clearly never went through ANY planning review. And to confirm that, hit the "preservation" tab, and note the projects "B-potential historic resource" status. For any proper approval of a project like this, the existing structure would need to have been reclassified an "A-historic resource" or "C-not a historic resource" status before receiving any permits to be doing this work.
I'm not saying that I don't think the laws and regulations governing building in this city are crazy and screwed up. But the large majority of us play by the rules, nonetheless. Obviously, certain others think that they are above the law. I'll end my rant at that.
Posted by: apropos at December 11, 2013 8:51 PM
Adding to that, looking at Street View... the facade wrapped around the side of the building with the cornice and other details carrying halfway down the side of the house, and I guess that's all gone.
Posted by: Adam at December 11, 2013 8:59 PM
The place is kind of an old wreck, and it would be nice to see it rebuilt. It looks like the basics of the facade are being kept, and one hopes the refurbishment will be complimentary to the houses on either side. For Pete's sake *nothing* is very old in San Francisco, and some people act as though any building built before 1940 is some national treasure. I'm glad they are putting in a garage, and that does nothing to affect the streetscape here. The garages that hurt were the ones that took up front yards. If the City had a lick of sense, they would have built underground garages when they did their recent half-assed restorations of Alta Plaza and Lafayette parks. Neighbors would have paid a fortune in rental income every month.
Posted by: Philip at December 12, 2013 10:30 AM
Isn't this theft of public property and resources? Taking away a public parking space for 1 private individual?
Posted by: sf at December 12, 2013 11:20 AM
I share your frustration, as we are renovating a house with a design proposal that required the Planning department's Historical Resource Determination, which took 6 months and several thousand dollars.
A question though for anyone that might know: if this property had been designated "C - Not a historic resource," would this level of de-facto demolition be allowed by the city without obtaining a formal demolition permit? For example, if a property line wall had been maintained instead of this facade, is it ok from the city's point of view to demo the remaining structure?
From what I've seen on this site and in talking to many contractors, it seems the requirement of maintaining some of the old structure (whether for ecological or cultural preservation purposes) has had the opposite effect of what was intended. Demo'ing a decrepit old building would both be more efficient in cost and energy compared to painfully integrating components of an older structure into an updated and improved design.
Informed input appreciated.
Posted by: Rob at December 12, 2013 11:42 AM
@ sf: you're funny.
The same thing could be said for the removal of PUBLIC parking spaces, or a PUBLIC traffic lane for the PRIVATE enjoyment of PRIVATE cyclists.
Just a thought.
Posted by: Futurist at December 12, 2013 11:51 AM
Anti car nuts should love this, a rich guy will be paying to store his car instead of storing it on the street for free. Two public spaces will also be removed which leads to two fewer cars on the streets. Everyone wins!
Posted by: anun at December 12, 2013 1:08 PM
"The same thing could be said for the removal of PUBLIC parking spaces, or a PUBLIC traffic lane for the PRIVATE enjoyment of PRIVATE cyclists."
In futurists a parking spot on the street is public, but a bike lane is private. Car fanatics live in a strange world...
Anyway, I have no problem with the project as long as it's being done legally.
I do think it's sad that a public resource (on street parking) can be eliminated to install a private resource (private garage parking).
There should at least be a steep fee to recapture the loss of public utility. Oh well, maybe someday when the car fanatics have died out we'll get some sane regulations on this matter.
Posted by: lyqwyd at December 12, 2013 1:38 PM
and futurist designs (well, most likely he's an assistant) buildings with that logic?
Remind me never to step foot in one of them.
Posted by: sf at December 12, 2013 1:41 PM
It's all rather tongue in cheek, sf.
About as logical as your statement.
Score: 1 to 1.
Posted by: Futurist at December 12, 2013 1:43 PM
Even if it is not a historic resource (C-rating), it would still be considered a demolition and would be required to go before the Planning Commission.Rob, you are correct that it is much easier to tear it down and recycle the materials and build new, but that is absolutely what the Planning Dep't will not allow. It is a complete absurdity how this City processes permits which is why, I assume, this owner chose to go on the path they have.
BTW, the project agent is SF Garage, John Pollard, who is notorious for this kind of thing - applying for numerous incremental permits to ultimately get around the code. What he has done here is illegal and I am hoping he is stopped. The fine for doing work without a permit is 9x the cost of the permit for the work done. In this case, the permit could be upwards of $20,000 which would incur a fine of $180,000!
I agree with apropos that this is crazy and if DBI and Planning don't stop this job then they're completely blowing all credibility that they have with the public!
Posted by: marvinsnephew at December 12, 2013 1:46 PM
Actually, not tongue in cheek. Roads and streets are for public use. Whether that be bikes, foot, hovercraft, or horse and buggy.
This is guy is taking away a public resource.
I hope he gets his driveway blocked constantly.
Oh, and please show us some of your designs, futurist.
Posted by: sf at December 12, 2013 2:02 PM
'...projects "B-potential historic resource" status. For any proper approval of a project like this, the existing structure would need to have been reclassified an "A-historic resource" or "C-not a historic resource" status before receiving any permits to be doing this work.'
My understanding of the process is different.
-Any structure more than 50 years old falls into the vague category B, a 'potential historic resource'
-From a preservation analysis standpoint, the historic nature of a building is primarily expressed through the public facing exterior sides of the building.
-If one's project does not fundamentally alter the public facing sides of the building, the structure itself can remain a category B, 'potential historic resource' without going through a formal Historic Resource Determination review.
-Much rests upon the ability of your architect to create a design that will sidestep the HRD flag and then convince the preservation planner of such.
The tradeoff is that you wind up suspending a crappy stucco facade in free space while you build an entirely new structure to which to attach it. There is no reason to think the participants haven't played by the rules, silly that they may be.

marvinsnephew , There is a violation on the building as of 12/12/13. Thank you Anonymous

"Oh well, maybe someday when the car fanatics have died out we'll get some sane regulations on this matter."
Good luck with that...As someone stated in another thread, cars along with better public transit is the future.
Posted by: Willow at December 12, 2013 4:47 PM
i doubt the owners/architect are doing this excavation to add a single parking space or that it is even 1:1.
our remodel converted one unused space - as the prior owner used it for storage and parked across the driveway on the street - ( which really is theft in my book as it blocks street parking with no indoor parking) into 3 car parking for myself, a tenant, and a guest. our driveway is spot number 4 when we throw parties or have more then one guest from the bridge or peninsula crowd.
net result, 3 cars not on the street, one additional visitor not circling and causing accidents or taking a space my neighbors covet.
my assessed value and property taxes were raised after the changes.
the city also requires me to maintain the sidewalk in front of my house while it retains ownership. i sweep at least every other day and have hosed down more then my share of other people's vomit from patrons of the bar up the street.
also parking enforcement should neither ticket nor tow a car that blocks a garage that cannot be used for parking. during my urban camping remodel i was asked more then once to open my garage to prove i needed car access. if the city kept a log of garages that were really storage rooms i suspect there'd be little trouble finding parking in most neighborhoods.
Posted by: modernedwardian at December 12, 2013 7:34 PM
How did you find out about the violation you cite? I did not see anything relating to that on the SF Property Information Map. Thanks.
Posted by: Rob at December 12, 2013 8:15 PM
Rob, You click this link below and you can search by address. http://dbiweb.sfgov.org/dbipts/
Enter in the address name and hit search.
There will be links to elec. permits, plumb permits, bldg permits, and complaints. Click complaints.
NOTE: the really powerful thing about the DBI site is that you can search by Applicant or Authorized Agent. Say you have name of an architect, engineer, contractor, expeditor or owner you like/dislike, you can search by their name. You enter in the time frame and click search. This will show the addresses of all their permits. You can then spot trends.
Posted by: somabound at December 12, 2013 8:42 PM
If we keep this up, we'll keep the city safe from newly-constructed homes with properly-engineered foundations and up-to-date framing that can be easily inspected at each step in the build process by the DBI!
If you seriously think this project could have moved forward with the building department's consent, you haven't built anything in San Francisco. Like they were going to frame it out of brand new wood and the inspector wouldn't know the difference?
The anonymous DBI complaint... when your DR request just didn't do enough.

"Good luck with that...As someone stated in another thread, cars along with better public transit is the future."
And as I stated in that same thread, that future includes a lot less of those cars. Cars aren't going away, there will just be a lot less of them. But the car fanatics, the type of people that ignore the massive amounts health and environmental damage caused by cars, are dying out. It will take a while for sure, but it's happening.
Posted by: lyqwyd at December 12, 2013 8:54 PM
soccermom @ 2:22pm: The builder is significantly altering the exterior of the building. Check the permits online (see my earlier post regarding how to do that). He is adding a garage and garage door to the front of the building. This is a substantial alteration. And he removed a significant amount of the building that was visible from the street (per Adam's comment on Dec. 11, 8:59pm.). If the builder was up front with the city about what he was going to do, he would have been told he had to submit an historic survey as part of an Environmental Evaluation. And had he done that, regardless of the determined status A or C, they would never have allowed this builder to do what he's doing now. Never. As had been pointed out numerous times in other post, this is a defacto demolition, and residential demolitions have more or less been outlawed by the city, except in extreme circumstances.
Maybe some people think city policy is good, and maybe some people think it is terribly flawed (such as I do), but laws are laws. Even bad laws provide order and structure for a civilized world. When laws are so visibly broken, without consequence, the power of authority will diminish, in a very detrimental way.
Another thing that really bothers me when I see stuff like this: I have, and have had in the past, a number of builder/developer clients. They see stuff like this happen in the city, and then they ask me "why can't we do this? I saw..." or " so and so did things like this, why can't...?" Everyone gets this idea that its OK to cheat a little, in one way or another. This put's me in a defensive position a LOT. Too often. It's tiresome, it's exhausting, and it pisses me off.
Posted by: apropos at December 13, 2013 12:23 AM
I agree the permit process is frustrating and not objectively fair. It's not a good business for people uncomfortable with ambiguity.
Posted by: soccermom at December 13, 2013 9:27 AM
Lets watch and see how much of the facade they maintain...I agree with all the comments about skirting the rules. Better oversight is needed at the Building Department and the Planning Department. This is really a demo and so are lots of others all around the City.
Posted by: noe mom at December 13, 2013 10:04 AM
apropos @ 12.23am:
Provided that the building were deemed to be not a historic resource, why would the city 'Never' allow the builder to do this all-but-facade demo? Have residential demos really been outlawed in the city? This is not my understanding.
Provided that the proposed new building meets all contemporary planning requirements (see the planning department's 'residential guidelines' document), all setbacks, and the neighbors do not object, it is not my experience that planning stands in the way when the building is not a historic resource. The folks I have spoken with who have done these kinds of 'all-but-facade' demos have told me that they did it to remain respectful of the neighborhood and avoid confrontation there (where planning really does pay attention).
Nearly all Victorian buildings this old do no meet contemporary seismic codes and environmental codes and cannot be feasibly upgraded to do so. You can't even insulate these homes safely because you can't incorporate house wrap behind the existing siding. There is almost always a case to be made for demo'ing and replacing and if the historic designation is absent, do you really thing that the city will really incur the potential liability of preventing the construction of safe housing?

Good Governance and Responsible Citizenship: An Interview
For more than 25 years, CIPE has built strong relationships and programs with economic reformers around the world. Still, global forums on democratic development lack a concerted voice for the private sector and economic freedom. Realizing the need to express how democracy and a free market economy act as mutually supportive systems, CIPE has joined with leaders from business and civil society to create the Free Enterprise and Democracy Network (FEDN). FEDN's main objective is to advocate globally and regionally for economic reform as an integral element of democratic development, as well as to serve as a forum for likeminded reformers to share ideas and best practices.
FEDN member Dr. Jesus P. Estanislao, President of the Institute for Corporate Directors and the Institute for Solidarity in Asia, discusses his personal experiences with strengthening democracy through market-oriented reform.

Same-day grocery delivery service Instacart, which currently operates in San Francisco and Chicago, announced today that it has expanded into the Boston market.
The company uses a "crowd-sourced labor force" dubbed "personal shoppers" to shop for and deliver grocery orders, using their own vehicles. The site acts as a matchmaking service between at-home shoppers and those willing to fetch and deliver the goods, and is not affiliated with the retailers being shopped.
In June, Instacart raised $8.5M in Series A funding and announced its intention to expand to 10 additional major cities by the end of 2014. Chicago and now Boston are the first of those ten cities. Instacart said it has experienced double-digit month-over-month growth since launching in both San Francisco and Chicago.

Utilise development funds, Mamata asks Trinamool MPs
Kolkata, Dec 3 : West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee Tuesday asked her parliamentarians of her Trinamool Congress to ensure utilisation of their entire constituency development funds before next year's general elections.
"She asked all the party Lok Sabha members to go to their constituencies and strengthen mass contact. She asked all of us to see to it that the entire Member of Parliament Local Area Development fund was utilised before the notification for the Lok Sabha polls," party's Lok Sabha leader Sudip Bandopadhyay told media persons after a meeting between Banerjee, the party supremo, and the MPs at the state secretariat in Howrah.
Banerjee also asked the MPs to oversee the functioning of the panchayats so as to draw the support of the rural masses.
Party sources said Trinamool would oppose crucial bills like creation of Telangana and Prevention of Communal Violence (Access to Justice and Reparations) that are likely to come up in the winter session of parliament.
All but three Trinamool MPs attended the parleys. While dissident Lok Sabha members Somen Mitra and Kabir Suman were not present, Rajya Sabha member Kunal Ghosh is now under arrest for his alleged links to the multi-Crore Saradha Group chit fund scam.

'DUCK' is New Watchword for When Storms Loom
MANHATTAN, Kan. – The National Weather Service has a new acronym to remind children and adults alike that there are key safety rules during severe storms – especially those that might lead to tornadoes.
The acronym is DUCK – short for: Down to the lowest level; Under something sturdy; Cover your head; and Keep in the shelter until the storm has passed, said state climatologist for Kansas, Mary Knapp.
"These simple phrases can be a quick reminder for anyone of their safety plan during the chaos of a storm," said Knapp, who directs the Kansas Weather Data Library, based at Kansas State University. She is a K-State delegate to the Extension Disaster Education Network www.eden.lsu.edu.
The NWS' Topeka, Kan. office has designated March 12-16 as the 2012 Kansas Severe Weather Awareness Week.
Additional safety tips are available on the National Weather Service and Federal Emergency Management Agency websites: www.NWS.gov and www.FEMA.gov.
Information about Kansas weather is available on the Weather Data Library website:http://www.ksre.ksu.edu/wdl/.

Telopea Park School is a bilingual (English-French) school in Canberra established by an agreement between the French and Australian Governments in 1983. It is a public school, hence parents do not pay tuition fees.
Telopea Park School is rated as one of the best schools in Canberra, if not the best.
Naturally with a free high quality school, parents are desperate to enrol their children. The priority placement areas for Telopea Park School are Barton, Forrest, Fyshwick, Griffith, Kingston, Narrabundah, Oaks Estate, Red Hill, Symonston, and a small corner of Deakin.
I know of parents who deliberately move to these suburbs (renting or buying) to maximise the chances of their children being able to go to Telopea Park. Schools such as Telopea (and others such as Narrabundah) should charge significant tuition fees.
From a national perspective it is rather bizarre that well off Canberra public servants can enjoy a high quality fully taxpayer-funded education while less well off parents need to scrimp and save to pay tuition fees to private schools because of an absence of high quality public schools in their area.
Surely it is time for some form of means test to access education? In conjunction with a voucher scheme, taxpayers would be better off, and parents would have a better and more realistic choice on where to send their children.

Once a doctor or health professional tells you that you need to go gluten free, your whole world just turns upside down. I know that it may be hard to believe, but it feels like that. Imagine walking into the supermarket and knowing that half the food in there you cannot eat because it makes you ill. That for everything you have to eat from now on you have to know what's in it, you need to know where it's from and you need to read every single label.
It is not fun.
It is however, necessary.
The annoying part (besides having to read every single label or ask 'what's in it') is that gluten free food is always much more expensive.
For example, the pasta I buy is the cheapest gluten free pasta there is. Its a 500gm bag and from Coles it is $3.10.
Orgran is a well known gluten free label, their pasta comes in 250gm packets for $2.89.
Normal pasta you can get as cheap as 500gm pkt for 59 cents!
I had a comment from one of my readers last week who said that her shopping budget has gone out the window since her doctor advised her to go gluten free. Did I have any tips to do gluten free cheap?
I am a self confessed bargain hunter so it kills me (and my own budget) to pay a fortune for gluten free food. So yes I have some tips.
Back to the Basics
I totally agree with another reader who answered in the same thread, go back to the basics. Fresh fruit and vegetables. They are your best friends. Buy in season and you are all set for the basis for your meals and snacks. Not to mention they are the healthiest food you can eat.
Rice is wonderful base for meals. And it is cheap! You can make risottos, rice based quiche, risotto balls, fried rice. It also makes a great side dish.
Ok, some meat is not cheap. And some of it has gluten so be very careful when buying it. I am a vegetarian so I am no authority on gluten free meat. I do see supermarkets with gluten free sausages and ham. Anything else I don't know so check with your butcher. Most supermarkets have butchers on site so don't be shy to ask them.
Similar story with fish as with meat. Ask before purchase, fish from a fish monger is generally ok. I buy fresh fish from these guys, budget permitting as it can be pricey. If you are a regular reader you will know I have many tuna recipes on this site. That's because it is something we all will eat, from the toddler to the husband. It's gluten free (check the label!) and it's cheap.
Canned pink and red salmon is also a healthy option. It is also cheap in comparison to fresh salmon but is still very good for you. And convenient. Canned fish is something you can buy and stock on the cupboard and it won't go off but is a fantastic main ingredient.
Eggs are such power packs and such a versatile food. They are great for quiches and frittatas as well as handy for cakes and muffins.
Oh I almost forgot beans! Canned chickpeas, kidney beans and 4 bean mix are fantastic and so cheap. As they are full of protein they can be the base of any meal. I make a bean and tomato mix that is great with pasta, rice or baked tomatoes.
Gluten Free Cheap Snacks
Ok, I know what you are thinking. That's great for meals but what about the fun stuff, what about snacks, biscuits and those sorts of thing?
Well yes, that can be tricky. You buy those packets of gluten free biscuits and cakes and that is where your money goes. A packet of gluten free biscuits will set you back $4+
The cheapest way to get gluten free snacks is to buy your own flour and make your own. I buy Orgran Gluten Free flours, I find them cheapest at Coles: 500gms for $2.99
Then once you have the flour, things like eggs, sugars, cocoa powder are all 'normal' so they are the normal food prices. You can make many things like pikelets, cupcakes, muffins, fruit slice. Check out my Gluten Free Recipes page for those recipes.
I also get Real Food Rice Cakes, they are about $2 from supermarkets. You can put anything on them, tomato and cheese, tinned tuna or even Mighty Mite, peanut butter, jam, anything like that.
Popping your own corn is another very cheap snack. Our popcorn maker gets a good work out. Corn kernals are only $1 – $2 a pack.
Plain rice crackers are fantastic on their own or with dips. Buy them for the biscuit aisle, both Coles and Woolworths have their own brand that are gluten free. Usually about $1.40 a packet. Dips can be cheap, again check the ingredients. Salsa is yummy also with rice crackers and you can get them for $2 a jar if you get the Coles brand.
I hope this helps some of you out there and if anyone has any other cheap gluten free food tips I would love to hear them!
If you have just found out you need to be gluten free, check out my 10 Tips to Get Started Being Gluten Free post.

Austria 1/2 and 1 Kreuzer 1816
These coins from the old Austrian Empire were minted only in 1816. There are other Austrian coins and other denominations that look similar, but these coins do not carry the 1816 date. This page applies only to coins dated 1816.
Both 1/2 and 1 kreuzer coins are worth about the same, although the smaller denomination is substantially smaller in physical size. Collectors often seek one example of each type of coin, so to make a type set of early Austrian coins a collector would want to find one 1/2 kreuzer and one 1 kreuzer. Here are some typical catalog values:
worn: $1 US dollar approximate catalog value
average circulated: $4
well preserved: $14
fully uncirculated: $45
Coins with A and B mint marks are more common, so their values would be slightly less than those shown. Similarly, if you have a E, G, O, or S mint mark, these are more rare and are slightly more valuable.
As always with CoinQuest, we are quoting catalog values. You must convert these values to actual buy and sell values using the ideas presented on our Important Terminology page (link at upper left).
The catalogs list half kreuzers with E and G mint marks as very rare, worth hundreds of dollars.

New Repellent Coming Soon: Smells Like Grapefruit
Basically, nootkatone is an essential oil that breaks down quickly and completely, meaning it doesn't alter the soil if applied in a garden. There's an even bigger future planned for nootkatone: if all goes as planned, the hope is that it can be "impregnated into bed nets to reduce malaria transmission."
Sounds pretty promising—definitely a repellent and pesticide we'd feel comfortable using in our own homes and yards. What do you think?
Learn more about nootkatone and the CDC's process of testing it at NPR.

I'd love to be able to do this for my back yard, as I'm covered in bites from the 10 minutes in the yard last night, myself. They use a Chrysanthemum based repellant. I'd like to see how the two compare.
Careful, though- a lot of the natural stuff we have tried smells fantastic but attracts bees like you wouldn't believe.
YAY! That's great news! I hope nootkatone makes it to market soon!
That sounds wonderful, although cedar trees are taking a pretty big hit being used for stuff like cat litter, furniture, etc. Tree farms tend to create a very acidic, hostile soil and requrie deforestaton of other species. I use a citronella mix called Herbal Armor from All Terrain that uses citronella, soybean, peppermint, oil of cedar, lemongrass and geranium. It works amazingly well and I've been searching for ones with no cedar or soybean.
Chrysanthemum based repellents work VERY VERY WELL -- I wish I could give details on the one I use but I can't remember the name. In either case, my family doesn't get a single bite on summer nights out on the back patio thanks to those Chrysanthemum based mists...

In February, Instagram reached the 100 million monthly active-users milestone and in just seven months, it has added 50 million more.
"Whether it's documenting protests in Egypt, sharing the trip of a lifetime across the United States or snapping #petselfiez, this community continues to surprise us every day with your creativity, sense of adventure and unique perspectives on the world," Instagram said in a statement announcing the new statistics.
Nearly half of Instagram's users are Android users and 60 percent of them reside outside of the United States.

CHINA: Profits soar at Tsingtao Brewery in Q1
By just-drinks.com editorial team | 30 April 2008
Tsingtao Brewery Co. has posted a massive lift in profits for the first quarter.
The Chinese company, which is 27%-owned by Anheuser-Busch, said today (29 April) that net profits for the first three months of 2008 leapt by 216.7% on the corresponding period a year earlier, reaching CNY129.6m (US$18.5m). Core sales in the quarter increased by 27.4% to CNY3.54bn.
Earlier this month, Tsingtao, which is China's largest brewer in sales terms, said that net profit in 2007 leapt by 15.8% on 2006, hitting CNY558.1m. Sales also headed north, climbing by 11% in volume terms to 5.05bn litres, and by 15.9% in value terms to CNY13.5bn. Tsingtao's namesake flagship beer brand delivered a sales increase of 19% in volume terms to 1.93bn litres.
Operating costs also rose sharply, however, leaping by 13.9% year-on-year, due in part to soaring wheat prices. Going forward, rising raw material costs, coupled with the appreciation of the yuan, will make their presence felt more keenly in 2008, the company said.
Sectors: Beer & cider

You definitely have great products here. I have also used the LUSH Lip Scrub in Bubblegum. I so love it for it also keeps my skin moisturized and i so love the scent.ReplyDeleteReplies
Yup, I think it can be a useful product especially in the mornings when lips tend to be drier than usual. A good exfoliation would usually do the trip for the smooth lipstick application right after.Delete

HTML version of
based in part upon the Oxford Text Archive's electronic text of the
This on-line version of the Theodosian Code is based upon the Latin text of Mommsen's edition (originally printed in 1905). However the apparatus criticus, the interpretationes from the Breviarium and the parallels from the Codex Justinianus have not been reproduced. Nevertheless, the line divisions of Mommsen's edition have been preserved in order to enable users to check details against that edition.
Users should beware that, since no manuscript of the entire Theodosian Code in its original form survives, all editions are to some extent reconstitutions. The form of the surviving manuscripts suggests that the original Codex was in fact split into three separate volumes -- volume 1 containing introductory material and books I-V, volume 2, books VI-VIIII and volume 3, books X-XVI. No descendant of the first volume appears to survive, thus books I to V of the original have perished entirely and have to be reconstructed by collecting constitutions excerpted in the Breviarium of Alaric and the Codex Justinianus. Of books VI (from 6.2.12) to XVI there exist manuscripts providing a more-or-less complete text; book XVI is particularly well attested because it was maintained in its entirety and attached to copies of the Breviarium.
The intention here is to create a 'virtual' edition of the Code, in order to present the text in a form as close as possible to that in which it would have appreared to contemporary readers in the mid fifth century. Thus the order of the prefatory material and the form of the index of titles and constitutions depends upon manuscript authority of version of the Breviarium and the Codex Justinianus, whose form can be expected to follow that of the original Codex Theodosianus. Similarly the lack of numbering of individual constitutions is in deliberate imitation of the original edition.

at lvl 50 bone spear with all sinergies maxed does arround 6K dmg
urdar at hell player1 got 8346-13600life, multiply that by number of players and u got preatty big number of spears...
an CE wount help much eighter on players 8 its got very low dmg.
also if u go for it.. get revive on wand.. and make white wand runeword
ideal would be +3spear, +3revive, +3 decrepify
but anyway i realy cant believe that P&B necro killed players 8 CS 98% of people who got boner got it to kill fellow players...
FYI I got PvP necro and i tryied CS run at players1 it was playeble, but took so long, I could not imagine that at players8.
21-05-2007, 06:36 #6
It must have been corpse explosion. Most endgame bonemancers will get 4-6k damage bone spear. 6k if they have low fcr or mana. Like OsTo said, urdars have 8-14k life on single player. How many people were in your game?
Bone necros aren't believed to be able to kill the ubers either.
The last possibility is that this guy had some sort of elite hacks.

no, CE doesn't scale up with the monster hp. it behaves as if you're still in players 1, even if there are 8 players in game
21-05-2007, 10:26 #10
ce damages through a % of the original monsters hp, so if a monster is killed in an 8p game where it has 8x more hp, ce will do more damage as it would in a 1p game :undecided:

Many employees have business expenses, but have questions about what's allowable and what type of documentation is needed. To help with that, DOR has created a short video and an Employee Business Expenses page that lists the top reasons contributing to the disallowance of an employee business expense, along with our Audit Division's recommendations for how to avoid possible errors. Take a look before you, or your practitioner file.
Here's a few samples from the page:
1) Lack of documentation to support an expense
- Receipts
- Business purpose of expense
- Ballpark estimates
Solution: Retain all business related receipts. Ideally, the receipts should be retained in chronological order. Maintain a calendar to record business purpose/contact/time/location of the business meeting.
2) Incomplete or insufficient travel log.
Solution: Maintain a real time daily travel log that includes necessary information including, address of location, mileage and business purpose/contact of the trip.
3) Failure to respond to a DOR Notice.
Solution: Respond to the notice if you believe you are entitled to the deduction.
See the video on DOR's homepage — and the Audit recommendations

Raid on Entebbe is a 1977 TV movie directed by Irvin Kershner. It is based on an actual event: Operation Entebbe and the freeing of hostages at Entebbe Airport in Entebbe, Uganda on July 4, 1976.
The basic facts of the rescue of hostages held when hijackers working for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and the "Che Guevara Group-Gaza Brigade" boarded and hijacked an Air France plane recounts the events and response of the Israeli government and the controversy that the rescue stirred.
This version shows the difficult deliberations held by the Cabinet of Israel to decide on a top-secret military raid on the Jewish Sabbath by commandos; a difficult and daring operation carried out over 2500 miles from home, and an unwillingness of the Israeli government to give in to terrorist demands. One commando was killed (the breach unit commander Yonatan Netanyahu, brother of future Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu), as were three of the hostages, and 45 soldiers under the then dictator of Uganda, Idi Amin. A fourth hostage, Dora Bloch, who had been taken to Mulago Hospital in Kampala, was murdered by the Ugandans on Idi Amin's orders.

How do you get him to smile?
He smiles on his own :)
How do you get him to pose for photos?
I just hold up a treat or a new toy. He plops down, stares, and i get to snap a few photos while he's memorized by whatever i'm holding.
My bf/gf is in love with Corgnelius. Can you please take a picture of him with a personalized sign for him/her?
Thank you so much for loving Corgnelius, but unfortunately i can't. I've been getting so many of these requests that if i tried fulfilling them, I'd be making him pose around the clock and i don't want to bother him in that manner. He has a very sweet, happy disposition and i want to keep it that way.
Where did you get Corgnelius?

Editor's note: Mike Friedman is a sixth-year pro racing at the Tour of California with Kelly Benefit Strategies-OptumHealth. In addition to competing in Europe and Asia, Friedman also raced track for the U.S. at the 2008 Olympics. He'll join us every day of the ATOC, bringing his "unique" take on the race.
By Mike Friedman
Good evening and welcome back to my Amgen Tour of California blog. Today I have a variety of topics to discuss which are as follows.
• Sponsorship Plug
• Today's recap of the race.
• Why racing with ProTour teams can be lame.
Tomorrow's blog will discuss the race itself, plus the mind and racing, and if we have time, the "Toilet Monster."
Let's begin shall we.
Sponsorship Plug: Today as everyone is most likely aware, we started in Nevada City. It was the start city of last year's first stage. I remember it well, throwing Jelly Belly samples (my team in 2010) from the sign-in stage to the crowd. This year, riding for Kelly Benefits Optum Health, I suggested throwing out small trial packages of Schick Razors. People like free stuff, and Schick is one of our sponsors with a some new designs that I've really enjoyed using on my legs, arms, face, and of course, chest. Our team uses their product to shave just about everything, and I think their marketing team should use us as a shaving commercial. Seriously, KBS OptumHealth has some of the thickest, 100-percent natural whiskers in the peloton.
Trust me, it takes me a lot to say this, because I've always been a fan of the Gillette Mach III, but Schick's new Hydro 5 model has really impressed me. I know that sounds cliche, coming from a rider on a team that's sponsored by this company and may think it's just a plug to a sponsor, but that's not necessarily my style.
Race Recap: There wasn't much of a neutral roll out, which was rather surprising considering Nevada City let us start there last minute. I imagine we couldn't do neutral circuits like we did last year due to the parked vehicles, but it would have been super nice if we could have announced to the riders that we were going to do two very slow neutral laps to please the spectators, some of which were probably trying to see us from Stage 1 in Tahoe.
We, the riders, could have done this, although I think some riders really don't take the fans into serious consideration and what they go through to see us off and on the course. Anyways, from KM 0 there were attacks, gaps opened immediately as the fields' legs were opening up to the grind. Our plan was to have six guys going for the breakaway, while Candalario and I sat back and awaited the inevitable field sprint. (Why racing with ProTour teams can be lame sometimes)
Lame Racing: It's unfortunate that in our team meetings we actually have to discuss one of the lamest tactics in cycling that, unfortunately, works. In fact, it's not a tactic in cycling, it's tactic amongst the ProTour riders that makes me think they are the biggest bunch of wankers out there. I have to say that it's HTC that is 100-percent the worst (and the best) at this very tactic. And I've seen them, as many other riders have, set up camp on the front, all eight dudes handlebar to handlebar across the road.
Today it was a Sky rider, and Rabobank rider that closed the last two spots barring any of the riders who wanted to attempt to go across, or attack, or simply race. Once the breakaway is established or out of sight one, then two riders will stop for a "pee break," sometimes not even actually stopping, but just going through the motions of unclipping and hitting the brakes. It's a seriously lame way to control the race for the number of riders up the road and how long the attacking continues. Usually they will ride tempo on the front, or like today, have various members or multiple teams reel in the break.
If any rider tries to break this barrier it's a barrage of yells in "Euro English", " Oyyyyuggghhh Amateur" which kind of sounds like a drunken moaning hooker from the Pirates of the Caribbean. Yep, that's pretty close actually.
What's just as close to that in LAMENESS, is seeing a rider that has gone top 10 at the TDF recently, ride up to a rider, in this case one of our guys and stare him down like the effort he's doing is not good enough, or rather, "How Dare He Attempt To Race His Bike, for I'm Lord Top 10 at the TDF." I guess the word for that is "Class."
My what class you have, oh what a big head you have, oh how skinny you are, oh how sharp your bones look protruding through your lycra are…
Too bad you're not as big a bad wolf as you think you are. Class like that, takes a lot respect away from you, from guys like me. Maybe that doesn't matter to you, but it may tomorrow or any other stage this week. But after this week, I will let it go, unless you do something like Lloyd in Dumb and Dumber and TOTALLY REDEEM YOURSELF!
So, that was how the break got established, and how Stage 2 panned out to the circuits. Our plan coming into the circuit was to burn two guys to position us near the front entering the circuit, which was vitally important when it began to rain. It was quite the game of chance and Russian Roulette as guys dashed in and out and jockeyed for position. It was amazing nobody crashed, not because the course was dangerous, but because of the wet white paint. It's hard to play off the teams that have five or six guys left to dash to the line when you're only one or two guys, but Creed positioned us really well until 1.5 to go Reid Mumford positioned Cando and I until less than 1, and Cando was in the hot seat with 600 meters to go ending up 12th.
Not a great day for us, but rest assured, the remainder of the week will be better, more aggressive when I'm given the go to hit out for moves, and in all seriousness, for me when we hit the mountains, I will really be in my element.
Some who read this may think I'm just wingding, complaining how the race played out. I guess I am. In my opinion, that is lame and boring racing for those watching it on TV, the riders, the spectators alongside the road, and race caravan. The only exciting part was the first 15 minutes trying to get up the road before the HTC Wall was built, and the last 15 km playing Russian Roulette in the field.
Reminds me of Pink Floyd's "The Wall." It's time to tear down the wall.
*Note: I saw one bum today from female spectator "mooning" the field.

Native English–Speaking Teachers and Trainers Still Idealized
The TESOL President's Blog In spite of all the advances that have occurred within our profession, backed by research which has shown that trained nonnative English–speaking teachers (NNESTs) can in fact be better than native English–speaking teachers (NESTs) because they … Continue reading

Comet ISON
Scientists are speculating whether ISON, a comet that has spent 4.5 billion years at the edge of the solar system, will implode from the heat of strafing the sun on Thursday.
Astronomers call ISON a relic from when our solar system was formed, adding that it has been travelling to meet the Sun for over a million years, and will only ever be seen once in history. This "comet of the century" is expected to provide clues on the formation of the planets.
After several days of continued observations, scientists continue to work to determine and to understand the fate of Comet ISON: There's no doubt that the comet shrank in size considerably as it rounded the sun and there's no doubt that something made it out on the other side to shoot back into space. The question remains as to whether the bright spot seen moving away from the sun was simply debris, or whether a small nucleus of the original ball of ice was still there. Regardless, it is Dust. .
Comet ISON, which began its journey from the Out cloud some 3 million years ago, made its closest approach to the sun on Nov. 28, 2013. The comet was visible in instruments on NASA's Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory, or STEREO, and the joint European Space Agency/NASA Solar and Heliospheric Observatory, or SOHO, via images called coronagraphs. Coronagraphs block out the sun and a considerable distance around it, in order to better observe the dim structures in the sun's atmosphere, the corona. As such, there was a period of several hours when the comet was obscured in these images, blocked from view along with the sun. During this period of time, NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory could not see the comet, leading many scientists to surmise that the comet had disintegrated completely. However, something did reappear in SOHO and STEREO coronagraphs some time later -- though it was significantly less bright.
Whether that spot of light was merely a cloud of dust that once was a comet, or if it still had a nucleus -- a small ball of its original, icy material -- intact, is still unclear. It seems likely that as of Dec. 1, there was no nucleus left. By monitoring its changes in brightness over time, scientists can estimate whether there's a nucleus or not, but our best chance at knowing for sure will be if the Hubble Space Telescope makes observations later in December 2013.
Regardless of its fate, Comet ISON did not disappoint researchers. Over the last year, observatories around the world and in space gathered one of the largest sets of comet observations of all time, which should provide fodder for study for years to come. The number of space-based, ground-based, and amateur observations was unprecedented, with twelve NASA space-based assets over the years.

W. Ralph Eubanks, publishing director at the Library of Congress and author of Presidential Campaign Posters: Two Hundred Years of Election Art, and Brooke Gladstone, co-host of WNYC's On the Media, talk about the new collection of campaign posters from Andrew Jackson to Barack Obama.
Mr. Eubanks was wrong about the '68 NH primary. McCarthy didn't "win," he got 42% to Johnson's 49%. However, this was enough to make Johnson withdraw from the race as he was too weak. Please correct this incorrect assumption.
The parts of the brain that parse and generate meaning from images are different to the ones that deal with words, and (in my arrogant and correct opinion) inferior in that they are less intimately acquainted than logic---you can show bikini'd models next to slobs drinking beer and some deep part in the male brain will conclude that you can be a snob and still pull bikini'd models, with all the certainty that back on the Serengeti told you that everything you saw were true.
Words, or course, can be used to emotionally manipulate---viz esp. "snarl" words like 'bizarre', 'Socialist', 'Fascist', 'Kenyan', 'plutocrat', 'European' which attempt to supervene rational thought through the provocation of hatred---but they at least can be looked-at one-by-one, parsed, and (ultimately) checked to see if they make sense when put together.
Our political decline is directly correlated with the rise of the Image as the dominant means of persuasion. Both parties are guilty of it, given that it is effective, but I think the Right do it more, because 0.) I don't like the Right, biasing my perception, and 1.) the modern Right privilege the gut-brain over the neo-cortex...but I fully expect the Obama campaign---centrists in any event---to use as much negative gut-response to Romney as they can....
The iconic Uncle Sam poster is actually lifted directly from British recruitment posters for Lord Kitchner's Army during WWI (as the Brits didn't have much of a standing army in 1914): http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/historic_figures/kitchener_lord_horatio.shtml
Reagan's wanting to "bring America back" to the '50s was exactly the problem.
I say we stay the course with "Hope and Change" !
Andrew Jackson - An opponent of the central Bank. Un-chartered the Second Bank of the US. Shot at with flintlock pistols that misfired: click click.
Regan - An proponent of a sound money.
1896 McKinley - An opponent of a central Bank creating fiat money.
1968 George Romney - Was born in Mexico of a British or Mexican Father. His mother took his father's citizenship when she married him. George was not a Natural Born Citizen. George never naturalized as a US Citizen. George was not Constitutionally qualified to be President.
His children are not Natural Born Citizens (Born in the US of citizen parents).
Mitt Romney is not Constitutionally qualified to be President.
Utterly depressing topic but looking back on history, I find the McKinley poster most telling. You might be interested to see his re-election campaign poster:
Too bad the Anti-Imperialist League didn't have better posters?
The 2004 Bush poster looks to be a post-Election county-by-county results map. It is celebration poster by a partisan non-official source (it says bushcountry.org on the bottom). So though not official or prior to the election, it does a good job of reflecting that election - Right Wing arrogance and bullying, translating a slim victory into landslide in order to ride roughshod over "the enemy" (liberalism portrayed as equal to terrorism). I just recalled all the emotions of that terrible election, the election that made me cynical and unforgiving of American politics.
