OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. – Oklahoma Christian University (OC) will expand from three to five colleges beginning with the 2014-2015 academic year.
OC's five academic colleges will be the College of Biblical Studies, the College of Business Administration, the College of Engineering and Computer Science, the College of Liberal Arts, and the College of Natural and Health Sciences.
"Our academic and leadership teams have been planning, praying and discussing how to build on OC's legacy of exceptional success in science, engineering and business," said Dr. Scott LaMascus, vice president for academic affairs. "Our new colleges will focus on growth in these areas and implement strategic planning to help us serve more students."
This academic reorganization will not affect degree plans for current students, but will expand students' opportunities for learning and connecting with experts in their chosen fields.
"Students choose Oklahoma Christian because they are drawn to OC's vibrant community for faith and learning, led by exceptional teaching faculty who truly care about students," President John deSteiguer said. "These five colleges will provide further focus for our learning communities as we help students discover their missions in life."
Dr. Jeff McCormack, a 1983 Oklahoma Christian graduate, will return to his alma mater as the new dean of the College of Natural and Health Sciences and the Lawson Professor of Microbiology and Immunology.
Dr. McCormack has been on the Lipscomb University faculty since 1999 and is currently associate provost. He also has served as an elder at Harpeth Hills Church of Christ in Brentwood, Tenn.
He is the son of OC professor emeritus Joe McCormack and his wife, Lottie. Jeff and his wife Tina, also a 1983 OC graduate, have four children: Daniel, an OC alumnus working on his doctorate at the University of Texas at Austin; Katie, a Lipscomb graduate and a nurse at Vanderbilt University Medical Center; Michael, a graduate of Pepperdine University who is in medical school at the University of Tennessee; and Sarah, a sophomore at Lipscomb.
"Dr. McCormack will be a key leader for our revitalization and reorganization," LaMascus said. "We are poised to build and expand on OC's legacy of rigorous science education and excellent placement of our graduates in medical schools, graduate studies, and health and science careers."
Dr. Byron Newberry will serve as dean of OC's College of Engineering and Computer Science. Newberry is a professor of mechanical engineering and chairs OC's Graduate School of Engineering.
After graduating from Oklahoma Christian in 1991 with a degree in mechanical engineering, Newberry went on to earn his master's degree and doctorate at the University of Michigan. He also has served as a senior research engineer and consultant at Shell International Exploration and Production.
Newberry and his wife Tammy have two children, Isaac and Olivia. They worship at Memorial Road Church of Christ.
"Dr. Newberry's leadership at the helm of our graduate engineering programs has been exceptional, and we know he will be equally successful leading OC's College of Engineering and Computer Science," said Don Drew, associate vice president for academics. "He has worked closely with Tinker Air Force Base to ensure we are responding to needs in the aerospace industry and advanced engineering education."
Oklahoma Christian will name a dean for the College of Business Administration later this year. Dr. Alan Martin and Dr. David Lowry will continue as deans of OC's College of Biblical Studies and College of Liberal Arts (formerly the College of Arts and Sciences), respectively.
"Drs. Lowry and Martin are excellent leaders who have helped us make great strides in adding and developing programs that support OC's mission," LaMascus said. "Our programs in the liberal arts, fine arts, humanities and biblical studies have outstanding placement and student success records. All of our programs seek to be best-in-class among Christian universities, and no university is exceptional without valuing all of these learning communities."
Oklahoma Christian, recognized as one of the best universities in the western United States by U.S. News and World Report and The Princeton Review, offers undergraduate programs in more than 60 fields of study, an undergraduate Honors Program, and graduate programs in accountancy, business administration, engineering, Christian ministry, divinity and theological studies.
The last nine years have featured the nine largest enrollments in OC history, including a record 2,424 students this year.

WhyNot Adventures Who we are and what we do.
WhyNot Adventures is a social group that in various forms has been sponsoring hiking and outdoor activities of several decades. Our most frequent regularly scheduled activity is hiking on Sunday mornings beginning in October and continuing through April. As our members have multiple interests including biking, kayaking and camping, these activities are also posted on our site, especially during our non hiking summer season. Our Sunday Hikes begin at 9:30. Please allow yourself enough travel time to arrive, introduce yourself, and be ready to leave promptly out of consideration for those who have.
We hike rain, snow, or shine throughout the winter and spring, so dress accordingly for the conditions. Our hikes are social events but they are hikes, and though we stop frequently, they are not usually a stroll in the park. It is not always be the case, but depending on conditions, you should expect and be prepared for stream crossings, elevation gains, rough and potentially muddy trails.
Also depending on conditions and the group makeup we may have trail options of distance and difficulty. We stop and regroup during the course of the hike so none are left behind. Always let someone know if you are having difficulty.
Dogs and children who are well behaved and under control so as not to interfere or endanger others are welcome. Park regulations require dogs to be on leash. Leashes for children are optional unless behavior is a problem. Please come prepared to enjoy the day and your fellow hikers. Many of us go to lunch together at a nearby restaurant following the hike. Food has always an important part of our group activities

Nurse Jackie: Season One (US - BD RA)
Gabe develops and unexpected crush on Edie Falco watching this series...
Jackie Peyton (Edie Falco) works hard as a nurse at All Saints' Hospital in New York City. Jackie's acquaintances and co-workers include the saucy and supportive 'Mo-Mo' de la Cruz (Haaz Sleiman), the sweet and eager to please Zoey Barkow (Merritt Wever), the self-centered and knowing Dr. Elenor O'Hara (Eve Best), and the goofy and young Dr. Fitch Cooper (Peter Facinelli). Jackie is the heart of the emergency room staff however, even if her methods are not always the most orthodox. It's a hard life, and sometimes she requires a pick-me-up or two (usually of the narcotic variety) to continue her saintly ways. This leads to a drug habit, which leads to a romantic relationship with the hospital pharmacist Eddie Walzer (Paul Schulze). What Eddie, and the rest of the All Saints' staff doesn't know, however, is that outside of work Jackie lives the secret life of an everyday wife and mother. These two lives tend to clash.
I admit that I wasn't ready to fall in love with another troubled middle-aged woman with a naughty streak, or another oddball hospital staff, but Nurse Jackie is really freaking hard to resist. Against my best interests and intensions I might even have to say that with only 13 episodes Nurse Jackie might be my new favourite hospital show, and though the subject manner doesn't quite charm me on a high concept level like Dexter or Weeds (few things can), but it has stories to tell and characters that charm within a few minutes of meeting them. The show has its shortcomings, and most of them pertain to the over-arcing themes and plots, which are pretty usual for decades of American television. The characters are so likeable and well-rounded enough that their trope fulfillment is far from obnoxious, and their goofy little lives are more than simply tolerable – they're engaging. Well, 90% of the time. The drama doesn't always engage, but when it does it comes from a natural and understandable place, and is genuinely affecting.
The writing is best when its sticking to the things that work unlike any other show, specifically Jackie dispensing advice to the people that need it the most. When the story stops to dump on her (as any good adult aimed television serial will do) it loses a few points for acting so much like everything else, and grows a little frustrating from a character standpoint, but without these bumps in the road Jackie would turn into some kind of Touched by an Angel stereotype. I could do with more surprises in the forward momentum of the overall story, but the standalone elements here are smart, and delve head first into some difficult and familiar emotional places. The writers are also clever to deal in matters other than amazing medical mysteries, heavy gore shocks, or too much inter-hospital romance, at least not in unrealistic terms. The stronger element is the comedy, which features the most original writing voice, quite different from the long-running stylings of Scrubs, which will probably define hospital comedy for a long time. I hazard to say I actually got more belly laughs out of Nurse Jackie.
Nurse Jackie is a lot grainier than similar Showtime series, like Weeds, which is soft, or Dexter, which is a higher contrast celebration of darks and Miami brights. The digital grain isn't so much a problem, and actually separates the show from stuff like Scrubs or Grey's Anatomy, but its certainly there. In terms of colour and lighting design the show is similar enough to those other hospital shows, utilizing the natural bright fluorescents of the hospital to do a lot of the work, while highlighting the events with candy-coated bits, especially outside the hospital. Assuming the grain doesn't bother you, and really, it's not that bad, you're in for some fine details, all sharpened without any major edge-enhancement or artefacting. The transfer isn't on par with stuff like Lost in terms of deep-set, consistent details, but is comparatively more impressive than Grey's Anatomy. The scientific-like, super close-up details (usually drug related and presented in slow motion) are just as perfect as those that come with science documentaries, and definitely a highlight. The colours, and the black and white elements of the hospital are solidly separated, but the outdoor day scenes tend to bleed blue into the white elements, while the outer-hospital interiors get a little over-oranged. Both appear to be purposeful.
Nurse Jackie doesn't feature any car chases, shoot-outs, smoke monsters or explosions, so the DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track isn't quite filled to the brim with expressive aural elements. There are plenty of layered elements, mostly pertaining to the general buzz of the hospital, but most of them are allocated to the center channel, where they fit nicely and naturally. The stereo channels get in on the hospital action from time to time, usually in a person movement capacity, or in the form of beeping machinery. The rear channels are very rarely bumped into the mix, usually during outdoor scenes, or in the vacuum of the hospital's chapel. Directional effects are practically a non-entity. The dialogue and centered basic effects sound very good, very clear, and consistently natural, and that's what's important. There isn't a lot of music per episode, usually only at the top and bottom, but what little there is warms the stereo channels, and gives the LFE a full-bodied rumble.
Showtime consistently disappoints with their Paramount released Dexter discs, but between this collection and the various Weeds collections they continue to please with their Lionsgate releases. The extras here start with a series of audio commentaries. Disc one commentaries start with the pilot, which features actress Edie Falco, writer/producer Linda Wallem, writer Liz Brixius and producer Richie Jackson. The tone is a bit scatterbrained, and the content is definitely lacking, but it's not a total lost because the participants are so entertaining. Things definitely pick up once the participants get the hang of it. The same participants are also heard on 'Tiny Bubbles', which was clearly recorded pretty quickly in succession after the previous track. The crew is on more of a roll here, but still more fun than informative. The hits continue on disc two with 'Ring Finger' and 'Health Care and Cinema', both also featuring the same participants. The talk does continue to revolve around food, but also continues to be fun, and continues to run past the credits.
Other disc one extras start with 'All About Edie' (5:30, HD), a look at the facts of developing a series around actress Edie Falco. Mostly this pertains to the cast and crew loving on her performances. 'Unsung Heroes' (5:30, HD) finishes the disc off with a brief look at the truth of real life nurses. It's fluffy, but a genuinely affecting little featurette, especially to those of us that have experienced the value of a great nurse. Disc two's other extras start with 'Prepping Nurse Jackie' (11:00, HD). This featurette is really just another series of cast and crew interviews that praise every aspect of the show. It feels more like a between movie Showtime ad, though I did learn that Steve Buscemi directed four episodes. This is followed by five 'Nurse Stories' (6:30, SD), a series of real life nurse stories used to advertise the series, including that of a bossy two year old, two office romances, a masturbation tale, and a gross testicle related story.
Man I really didn't want to like Nurse Jackie. I have enough television shows that I can't watch without buying cable already, and I'm certainly done with hospital drama and comedy. I couldn't resist. The writing isn't totally consistent, and a few trailing plotlines fall off without going anywhere, but the acting and characters are so perfect and endearing. And unlike Dexter[/h], [i]Venture Bros.[i] or [i]Mad Men I feel like I can recommend the show to everyone, not just those that can take the violence, get the in-jokes, or stomach the tempo. Fans should know that the heavy grain present in the source material and lack of surround sound intensity doesn't make the Blu-ray version a must buy. You can get away with the DVD release just fine if you want to save a couple of bucks.

Dignified & Delightful: Decorating with Driftwood
I just returned from a gorgeous wedding in Florida, where my eyes were glued to the driftwood scattered on the beach. I spent the cross-country flight back to San Francisco thinking about how I could integrate some of the earthy simplicity of driftwood into our modern, urban decor.
From the looks of it, driftwood is not just for the beach house. The gorgeous modern furniture from Bleu Nature (image two) would make a brilliant addition to any contemporary home. Another great idea would be a DIY project along the lines of the abstract wall art (image number four) from House and Home. Spray painting the wood in bright colors would give it a bold and polished look. Reclaimed, recycled, and simply radiant.

Armstrong to Address Scandal on Oprah

Bruce Kumph trying to do the f/a of Diagonal at cathedral around '68 ? Rope solo.He fell off the bulge and stopped ,unconscious atop the first pitch of Standard. I'm guessing this around 150' at least. The "rescue" party could not get up Standard and bruce had to solo down after coming to...
I remember Al Rubin telling a story of someone taking a huge fall on Diagonal. I never heard anything else about it, and wondered if it ever really happened. The way he told it, the rope caught on a small tree which saved him from ground fall.... the only tree in the area. Nice to know the particulars.

The Eagles should have 85 players on the field Friday for the first day of minicamp. None will be wearing No. 20.
When the Eagles were issuing uniform numbers for their newcomers, draft picks and undrafted free agents, No. 20 went unassigned.
The number is synonymous with Brian Dawkins, and always will be in the minds and hearts of Eagles fans. Pity the poor young defensive back who would have been saddled with carrying on that tradition.
The Eagles often have not immediately given out the numbers vacated by popular players when they move on, but indications are that No. 20 has moved into the category of sacred numbers.
Dawkins' No. 20 likely can be viewed like Randall Cunningham's No. 12. The number is not retired, but it has not been worn since Jeffrey Lurie purchased the team.
Reggie White's No. 92 was worn for a day at the first minicamp after Lurie purchased the team, but Lurie put a stop to that and it was not worn again and then was retired after White's death.
The NFL discourages teams from retiring too many numbers simply because teams would eventually run out, especially during training camp and early in the preseason. The Eagles have seven retired jerseys.
The team has 85 players on the roster, with four numbers being worn by more than one player, because of the volume of linemen at this time of year.
In case you are wondering, the vacant numbers other than 12 and 20 are 1, 7, 8, 9, 38, 47, 48, 69, 72, 83, 85 and 94. Tra Thomas had worn 72 and Jon Runyan had 69.
Ellis Hobbs has proved to be quite loquacious in his few days as a member of the Eagles and he already seems to be enjoying being with the Birds.
He told the Boston Globe that the trade was "like a breath of fresh air."
Now, I'm feeling like somebody wants me, somebody thinks I can do the job, somebody is embracing me with love and wants me here," said Hobbs. "They've already done that. Words only go so far, see. We'll see what's done from here."
Hobbs also talked about being reunited with former New England teammate Asante Samuel:
"There is a mutual respect," said Hobbs. "I'll go on the record and say there was no animosity. There was never a dispute. Or something like 'he's showing me up' or 'I'm showing him up' or anything like that, man. We enjoyed each other's company."

High Desert Collection (PCGS Set Registry)
Heritage 8/2006:5271, $23,000 - Gerald R. Forsythe Collection
David Hall: Starting in 1934, all of the Walking Liberty half dollars (with the lone exception of the very low mintage 1938-D) are very common in low circulated grades and sell for just a small premium over their silver bullion value. In mint state condition, the story is quite different and the dates vary in availability greatly. The 1934-D is one of the very rarest of the 1934-1947 Walkers in mint state condition. It is also very tough in Gem condition. Strike can be a problem with this issue, but unlike the S-Mints which often have weakness on Ms. Liberty's hand, the 1934-D can suffer from a weakly struck head, and for some reason an incompletely struck date is often seen. Luster is of the white frosty type so look for a nice frosty coin with a well struck head and date.

Although Apple has shed roughly a fourth of its share price since September, two analysts see substantial upside for the company' badly bruised stock.
Gene Munster, a senior analyst at Piper Jaffray, sees opportunity in both mobile and new markets, such as television, for Apple . In the near term, data and store surveys have shown that iPhone 5 sales are stronger than Wall Street's estimates, he said.
So what does he tell investors who have seen the market take a bite out of their Apple investments?
"I tell them it doesn't look pretty today, but there's [a] brighter future in the next month or two," he said. Munster has an "overweight" rating and a $900 price target on the company's shares.
"The reality is the stock should be significantly higher, and I think $900 — it's not going to be there tomorrow, but we should be on a pace to that based on these earnings," he said.
Meanwhile, William Power, a senior analyst at R.W. Baird, is not quite as bullish on the stock's upside but still maintains a "outperform" rating and a $750 price target on the company's shares. He added that he likes the stocks at its current level.
"It's always difficult to pick a hard bottom, but I think if you have a 12- to 18-month holding period, you'll be rewarded off of these levels," Power said.
Among investors, there have been questions about Apple's pace of innovation and its competition as many of the stock's owners have engaged in profit selling, he added.
Both analysts expect the tech giant to unveil a TV product by the end of next year although the form it will take remains unknown.
"I think aside from the opportunity of opening up a new market, it could really help re-demonstrate Apple's ability to be a leader in innovation, and that's what we really need from this stock," Power said.

Triangle Bermuda Grass Seed - Triangle Bermuda Grass Seed is a blend of Certified Mohawk Bermuda, Sultan Bermuda, and Sydney bermuda grass seed. These turf type Bermuda grass species have been blended together to provide an excellent lawn or turf grass with a wide range of adaptation. These top performing bermuda grass seed varieties have improved turf density, dark green color and moderate cold tolerance. For either a home lawn or professional turf that will stand up to the demands of today's expectations seed the best of the best, seed Bermuda Triangle Blend.
For orders over 250 lbs. please use our eQuote system for DISCOUNTS!
PENKOTED seed has been coated (treated) with a green colored liquid seed coating material containing a specific fungicide, a natural insecticide and a growth stimulant. These ingredients then dry on the unhulled seed and are time-released into the soil as needed once the seeds are planted. The coating helps protect each seedling from soil born diseases and insects. The coating also makes the seeds less attractive to birds.
PENKOTED is a registered trademark of Pennington Seed, Inc.
Seeding Application Rates:
New Turf Applications: 2 - 3 lbs. per 1000 sq. ft. (1 to 1.5 kg per 100 sq. meters)
Turf Repair Applications: 0.5 -1 lb per 1000 sq. ft. (0.25 - 0.5 kg per 100 sq. meters)
Bermuda Triangle Blend should be planted when soil temperatures are consistently above 65° F (18º C) in full sun on well-drained soil. Care must be taken not to cover the seed with too much soil - no more than 1/4" (1.91 cm) covering the seed is recommended. Soil moisture around the seed must be maintained for about 1 to 2 weeks. Under ideal conditions, germination may begin within 10 to 14 days; allow 14 to 18 days for completion. Full coverage may be attained in 4 to 6 weeks; when planting early or late in the season, more time may be needed for establishment.
Triangle Bermuda can be maintained at mowing heights from 0.5 inches (1.3 cm) to 2 inches (5 cm). Applying 3 to 5 pounds of nitrogen per 1000 sq. ft. (1.5 to 2.5 kg per 100 square meters) per growing season is adequate. Do not remove over 1/3 of the leaf blade per mowing for healthy turf.
Dormant bermudagrass may be overseeded for year round color, but is not generally recommended on turf less than 6 to 8 months old. Immature turf may be damaged by the vertical cutting and scalping process, leaving it unable to compete with the overseeded species during the spring transition.
Advantages of Triangle Bermuda:
Certified Quality
Recommended Use of Triangle Bermuda Grass Seed: Golf Courses (fairways and tees), Athletic Fields, Parks, and Home Lawns in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, Texas, Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Arkansas, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, California, and Hawaii.

C.J. Brown has played in a lot of games over the years: 276 regular season matches, 35 in postseason, 24 in the U.S. Open Cup, 10 in CONCACAF Champions Cup play and four in last year's SuperLiga.
Math wiz's and soccer nerds of the world unite!
What's the total? Games played: 349.
Two weeks off from marking his 275th regular season match for the Fire, Brown will hit another career milestone Saturday afternoon if he takes to the field in Toronto. The last remaining Fire Original will see his all competitions odometer roll over to 350 competitive matches for the club since 1998.
The mark ranks Brown third all-time for MLS players with one team across all competitions. He trails only D.C. United striker Jaime Moreno (415) and retired Los Angeles Galaxy midfielder and current assistant coach Cobi Jones (392).
Not one to monitor his statistics, Brown was informed of the milestone following Tuesday's training.
"It's kind of shocking," said the veteran center back. "I don't really pay attention to those things -- I only knew I had 275 because they told me a few weeks ago. "It's awesome though -- a really good feeling to know that I have that many games in me. To be honest, I'd rather have a few more championships."
Brown may have been a bit spoiled when he won his first and only MLS Cup as a rookie in 1998. Though the Fire have been back to the league's penultimate match twice since then, they came away empty handed both times.
"I think we've always put ourselves in pretty good spots to win but often came up just short. When you look back at the loss to Kansas City in 2000, we pounded their goal but couldn't put the ball in the net. We had a very talented group, with the right mix of players and we showed it throughout the game – at the end it just wasn't our day."
Injured for the club's third trip to MLS Cup in 2003, the Fire fell 4-2 to the San Jose Earthquakes. While there were opportunities for the side to come out victorious, this writer has always wondered if Brown's presence in the middle might have kept the Earthquakes from tallying four goals – to this day, the most by a team in MLS Cup history.
"We had a good group but I think we were a little young. The maturity level needed to play in a championship game wasn't there but the individual talent was. That was a tough loss because had we been a bit more seasoned I think it would have been different."
Looking back on losses is easier when you can rely on the fact that you've won before. As the only Fire player to win an MLS Cup, Brown could certainly gloat among his teammates. Despite his decorated club career, his biggest regret is not having been more involved with the U.S. national team over the years.
Though capped 15 times from 1998-2003, Brown was often overlooked in what was a pretty deep U.S. defensive pool, featuring Eddie Pope, Jeff Agoos, Gregg Berhalter and Carlos Llamosa.
"When you talk about things you still want to achieve or something that's still on the 'docket', for me its playing for the national team. It's still there, I'm never going to do it again though. Above everything, I always wanted to be in a World Cup Qualifier. Every player wants to be in the World Cup, but just playing in a qualifier would have been a milestone. I was able to put the jersey a number of times which I was honored and proud to do, but I always wanted to be in one of the important games. The friendlies are important, but its not the same feeling as a qualifier. I think each type of game has a different level of intensity to it and I didn't get to experience some of that."
Though he never appeared in a U.S. qualifier, Brown was part of the U.S. squad for the 1999 FIFA Confederations Cup in Mexico, helping lead the team to a 2-0 upset of Germany and third place in the tournament. At that point, it was the best finish the men's national team had achieved in a FIFA competition since falling in the semi-finals of the 1930 World Cup.
National team aside, the Eugene, Oregon native has become a legend in the lore of Chicago soccer, faithfully serving the club and community throughout his time in the Windy City.
"From day one when I first got here I felt welcome both with the club and in the city. Fan's that I've met over the year's have become friends that I regularly hang out with. I've established this as my home and I've formed my family here. The 350 games played is a good marker for reflection to looking back at all the great things that have happened for me here."
Still active, Jaime Moreno seems out of reach, but Cobi Jones isn't too far behind. With the L.A. Galaxy assistant now in his third year of retirement, Brown would need to play past this season to pass the most capped U.S. player of all time.
Do you think you could do it C.J.?
"No chance," laughed Brown. "You're talking about 40-some games to catch up, I'm not sure that's going to be possible."
Then he paused and thought about it.
Possibly an Open Cup run here, a few SuperLiga games there, deep travels into the MLS Cup playoffs and good health through the end of the league season would put the 34-year-old defensive rock within a handful of games of the American legend.
Like that, his answer shifted.
"We'll see. I'm working hard every day and still playing well. If I can stay healthy things could look good for that to happen."

Reportedly discovered in a "junk" box of coins in 1978 - RARCOA, sold privately in 1980 for $425,000 - John Abbott - Bowers & Merena 9/1985:174, $176,000 - Martin Paul - Superior "Auction '86" 7/1986:1053, $253,000 - Goldbergs 10/2000:1629, not sold - Jim Gray Collection - Bowers & Merena 7/2004:2065, $661,250 - Simpson Collection
Ron Guth: Numismatic treasures await us in the most unlikely places. Take the 1870-S Half Dime, for example. According to official Mint records, none were ever struck, despite the fact that six pairs of Half Dime dies were on hand at the San Francisco mint. Yet, in early 1978, a single example of this previously unrecorded date was purchased as a common type coin. The exciting news of the discovery of an 1870-S Half Dime stunned the numismatic world and, following it's exhibition at the 1978 convention of the American Numismatic Association, this previously unappreciated coin sold for $425,000 to Michigan dealer John Abbott. How was the selling price for this unique rarity determined? -- by a formula agreed to in advance by all parties in which $25,000 was added to the hammer price of the 1804 Silver Dollar sold as part of the John Work Garrett collection!
Accounts of the discovery of the 1870-S Half Dime vary. One account claims the coin was found in a "junk tray", another says a "junk box" (same thing, actually), and a third says it was bought over the counter as a common type coin by a Cook County (IL) dealer.
The cornerstone of the second San Francisco Mint may contain another example of the 1870-S Half Dime along with an 1870-S Three Dollar Gold piece (which is known to have been placed therein) and possibly other 1870-S dated coins.
The following is a list of all 1870-S dated silver and gold coins and their reported mintages:
1870-S Half Dime - 0
1870-S Dime - 50,000
1870-S Quarter Dollar - 0
1870-S Half Dollar - 1,004,000
1870-S Silver Dollar - 0
1870-S Gold Dollar - 3,000
1870-S Quarter Eagle - 16,000
1870-S Three Dollars - 0
1870-S Half Eagle - 17,000
1870-S Eagle - 9,000
1870-S Double Eagle - 982,000
Examples are known of every denomination listed above except for the Quarter Dollar (could this be the next undiscovered treasure?)
According to Breen, the reverse of this coin was later used to produce 1871-S Half Dimes. He also lists the exact weight of this piece as 19.599 grains (1.27 grams) and the specific gravity as 10.316. The edge has 107 reeds.
Examples are known of every denomination listed above except for the Quarter Dollar (could this be the next undiscovered treasure?
Q. David Bowers noted a "microscopic raised line" on the upper left arm of Miss Liberty, wondering whether this might also appear on some of the Half Dimes issued by the Philadelphia Mint (since they were responsible for creating the dies sent to San Francisco).

Hi Brides-to-be and newly engaged ladies, Blogger Bride Angela of Saffron Avenue here today to share with you my process of how I branded my wedding! From the color palette, logo design, paper products, all the way to our wedding website. By focusing on branding and the design details your guests will be able to see it all unfold from beginning to end, making it that much more memorable and exciting!
The color inspiration board and color palette
As you browse through pinterest, wedding blogs, and magazines try to find images that reflect your overall style. For me I used a couple defining words prior to starting: Neutral/Natural, Mid-Century Modern, Clean, and Classic. I knew that going forward I really wanted simplicity when it came to the design and style, something that could stand the test of time...and of course my fair share of white, modern accents. For help getting started with that process, feel free to check out my past blogger bride post on How to Narrow Down Your Wedding Style.
The Logo and Brand Board
Once I finalized my style and color palette I moved on to create a few logo options. I love calligraphy and lettering so I knew that I would just have to pick a style I love and go from there. I finally decided to go with a more relaxed brush script, which added a bit more playfulness to the clean and modern style. After I finally narrowing down the logo I built my brand board. The brand board is a very important part of the process, as I used these elements throughout the rest of our wedding(LINK). I created a watercolor palm leaf pattern, as well as a modern sub mark that can be used throughout the branded stationery pieces which you will see throughout our wedding images.
Wedding Website
With my business I was able to design and develop our own wedding website. I wanted it to pull from my inspiration board by using wood texture, modern elements, my palm pattern, and of course the brush script. On the homepage I created a styled flat lay that my guests could click and navigate to specific pages, which also included an online RSVP and gift registry. Then on the interior pages I used my sub mark, palm leaf pattern, and clean lines, which focused more on imagery and content.
Wedding Invitation Suite
This was my favorite part, as I was able to use my neutral colors, patterns, custom brush script, and various shapes and sizes to build the suite. Each invitation set was carefully assembled and tied together with bakers twine and a small card with our sub mark. I wanted my guests to feel like they were open a gift, as well as get them excited for our coastal wedding by introducing my palm pattern on the pieces.
Reception Stationery
To pull it all together I chose to design various pieces for the entire wedding weekend, in which my guests would be able to see it all come together. Each guest had a customized canvas tote, inside it had a Do Not Disturb sign with our Day-Of timeline, custom water bottles, packaged up snacks, and a custom drawn map with things to do in the area.
At the reception I made custom printed menus, mason jar banana bread with our sub mark sticker on top and a designed tag with the recipe, as well as a hand-written thank you note with a fun customized crossword puzzle on the back. Each piece designed around the original brand board I created.
The best part was getting to hear and see my guests reaction! From the beginning of the process they got to see it all unfold, from the save the date, all the way to their little Do Not Disturb signs. By having such a small wedding I was able to focus on the smallest of details to make them feel welcomed. Even the smallest of details were noticed and memorable. For example since we didn't have kids at our wedding and because it was a destination wedding I knew it wasn't easy for all of my friends to travel and spend time away from their kids. I bought small white picture frames and printed out black and white photos of their kids. I wrapped each of them up in tissue paper with a striped ribbon and popped it into their individual totes. They loved them, and well worth the time to create!
