I originally posted on the silver art bar thread but I also felt that it was important for me to post this as a separate thread. Most of you probably already know this but there are several lurkers on GIM that may not know this so I will post this again:
To avoid getting scammed on ebay, here are some types of bars to stay away from:
1. Any bar that is stamped "100 mills" on it. These are silver-plated.
2. Any bar that is stamped "clad" on it. These are silver plated.
3. Any bar with a reverse that is stamped "In Clad We Trust" on it.
4. Any bar with a reverse that is says "American Royal Mint" on it. These are stamped "15 grains". 480 grains silver = 31.1 grams of silver = 1 troy oz of silver.
5. Any bar that is stamped "German Silver" anywhere on it. This is not real silver.
6. Any 1-gram silver bars. Those are too small IMO and they are grossly overpriced on ebay.
The reason that I started this thread because I have seen many ebay buyers make the mistake of bidding on silver bars thinking that they are real 1-troy oz. .999 pure silver bars.
This following recently completed ebay auction is an example of an ebay buyer making this mistake:
This ebay seller grossly over-paid for this silver-plated art bar. See #4
Those above mentioned bars are NOT 1-troy oz .999 pure silver bars. These are silver-plated bars. If a person is looking for 1-troy oz. .999 pure silver bars of any kind, then they should avoid auctions that are selling silver-plated bars. If you stay away from those bars mentioned above, then you will be ok in my opinion when bidding (or buying as BIN) on ebay. DYODD.

I respect your opinion. Keep in mind he was against secession. And once again, not knowing what was going to happen would even cause you and me to haul *** to some place. He was a standup American before the war and a standup American after the war.
It don't get no better than that. That can't be denied.
Perhaps you know enough about General Early to answer the question, '

Besides deciding what college or university to go to, high school students have to also find a way to pay for it. Well students from 8th grade and up in the Idaho Falls area school districts have a chance to win some extra money to put towards tuition thanks to the Mayor's Scholarship Fund.
The Mayor's Scholarship fund was created in 2006 by Mayor Jared Fuhriman. Since then 166 scholarships have been awarded in the amount of $154,000.
"To qualify for the scholarship you have to be a city of Idaho Falls resident or attend a District 91 or 93 school, we actually try to target students in what we call the forgotten middle, those are the students that have between a 3.0 and 3.5 GPA"said Heidi Gummow the program coordinator for the Mayor's Scholarship Fund.
After a student receives the scholarship, the money is held until they graduate, then they get to use that money for tuition at any Idaho institution.
"Promise Scholarships are awarded in the amount of $500 and Senior Scholarships are for $1500" continued Gummow.
The Mayor's Scholarship fund gives out at least 12 scholarships a year.
"Their faces when we meet them, they are so grateful and so excited, we hear from them for years after, the Mayor receives letters from the, updates about college, updates about where they are in their careers and that's by far the most rewarding part of this program" said Gummow.
The Mayor Scholarship Fund application deadline is this Friday February 1st. You can drop off those applications at either of the school district offices.
The awards ceremony for those receiving scholarships will be held on April 24th.

Less people to kill because "Chapo" won the war?
A new government that made a "truce" in Juarez even though it hasn't officially taken over?
A miracle police chief?
Most of the army and federal police being taken out of the city?
More than 11,000 were killed in Juarez since 2008 and the future of the city is uncertain, despite the decline in murders.
What will President elect Pena Nieto do about Juarez?
How will he fight organized crime?
Who is truly running Juarez?
Why has the city become so suspiciously quiet?
Juarez has been traumatized and so badly damaged that the many scars and mental damage left behind should never be underestimated. The ones who have endured so much pain to get through it all are heroes. The Juarez people are tough, resilient and deserve their city back. This is a war they never asked for or deserved. We will all look back at this tragedy as something so stunning that we may never grasp what truly happened.
We must continue to provide Juarez with donations, good will and prayers because the future is as vague as to what created so many dead Mexicans in the first place.

Ys fans will surely be excited hearing this: at 10:00 CEST the Ys Online servers will be re-opened. It is a very good chance for you to begin playing this game and sign up for the closed beta; you'll find out how the Ys world has transitioned into a fully featured MMORPG, and if you're new to this universe, you'll totally be astonished.
"Ys Online: The Call of Solum" was already succesfully launched in the Asian continent, beacuse of its amazing gameplay, its beautiful manga style graphics and the low requirements. All of this has brought hundreds of thousands of players from China, Korea and Japan into the Ys universe. And finally, Ys Online will be completely translated into four languages: English, French, German and Spanish.
More than 50.000 Key To Play accounts have requested a key since the announcement first was published two weeks ago. Morevoer, around 20.000 keys will be distributed all over the video games online media, so stay updated!
"Call of Solum" is an MMORPG based on the world famous Ys series, created for the Japanese company Falcom. Its first title was released for 8 bits, and then became a real classic, several manga series were published, OAVs and even novels. This time, Falcom and CJ Internet are joining to present "Ys – Call of Solum", the new title, which turned into an online videogame following the most classic anime style, characteristic of the entire saga.
After Man of Wings ascended to the sky, chaos started to reign all over the Eresia continent. The central region (formerly known as Europe) is now split into two realms fighting each other: Romun, dominating the centre and south of the region and Etruria, ruling the north.
Battles came one after another for one hundred years, several kingdoms fell against the fearful monsters coming out of the chaos. 12 soldiers of different races, Eresians, Kimoans and Afrocans, joined Grey the hero in his quest to defeat the monsters and establish a whole new empire, called Romun, all over the continent.
"Ys – Call of Solum" arrives in Europe thanks to of Key To Play, a new online videogame portal of different genres. It was created in 2008 with the aim of bringing great international titles to the European market. The company owns several offices throughout Europe and Asia and offers players a large network of support. Its purpose is to give the best quality and playability to its users.
As of now, the titles are published in 4 languages: English, French, German and Spanish, to offer more convenience to the players. Key To Play has until now committed to two titles, "Priston Tale 2: The Second Enigma" and "Ys Online – Call of Solum".

ASUS sets prices for US-edition Eee PC 901, 1000
updated 07:45 am EDT, Fri June 13, 2008
ASUS Eee PC 900 1000 Price
ASUS late yesterday set out tentative American pricing via LAPTOP for its Eee PC 901 and 1000-series micro notebooks. The 8.9-inch Eee PC 901 will sell for $599 in the US for both the 12GB Windows XP-based version or the 20GB Linux model; the 10-inch Eee PC 1000 will sell for $699 with as much as 40GB of flash memory. The special hard drive-based 1000H will use its less expensive rotating storage to drop the price to $649 while doubling capacity again to 80GB.
All of the systems are expected to hold to ASUS' original design with a 1.6GHz Atom and theoretical battery life just under eight hours. ASUS has yet to set official launch dates for the new notebooks in the US but should offer both black and white versions within the next few weeks.

Computer Programming
The Computer Programming curriculum prepares individuals for employment as computer programmers and related positions through study and applications in computer:
- Concepts
- Logic
- Programming procedures
- Languages
- Generators
- Operating systems
- Networking
- Data management
- Business operations
Students will solve business computer problems through programming techniques and procedures, using appropriate languages and software. The primary emphasis of the curriculum is hands-on training in programming and related computer areas that provide the ability to adapt as systems evolve.
Graduates should qualify for employment in business, industry, and government organizations as programmers, programmer trainees, programmer/analysts, computer operators, systems technicians, or database specialists.
CCC&TI offers a educational program in this area:
For more information about course descriptions or required courses, refer to the current CCC&TI Course Catalog and its corresponding Addendum.
Employment Outlook
According to the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook states "Jobs for both systems and applications programmers should be most plentiful in data-processing service firms, software houses, and computer consulting businesses. These types of establishments are part of computer systems design and related services and software publishers, which are projected to be among the fastest growing industries in the economy over the 2004-14 period. As organizations attempt to control costs and keep up with changing technology, they will need programmers to assist in conversions to new computer languages and systems."((Visited 2006, Aug. 10)).

Two hush P
- From: Mercury
- March 03, 2014
PALMER United Party boss Clive Palmer and state leader Kevin Morgan were a pair of hush PUP-pies when it came to discussing party policies yesterday.
They spoke extensively about their concerns for Tasmania, including the "burden of tax" and the need to boost business.
They suggested too much of the state was "locked up" and echoed the call for more "jobs, jobs, jobs" in Tasmania.
They said PUP was worried about Bass Strait freight costs and overworked hospital staff.
The had plenty to say at a 30-minute press conference at a Hobart hotel, but were sketchy when pressed for specific detail on party policies.
An adviser later said in an email that the party would release "individual details of each policy between now and the election".
Mr Palmer slammed repeated attacks on his party by the Tasmanian Liberals, labelling leader Will Hodgman "always a bridesmaid, but never the bride".
It followed the Liberals pointing out a typo of Bass Strait — spelt "Straight" — on PUP banners at a fast ferry policy launch at the weekend.
And Mr Morgan ranted about politicians talking in cliches, before hitting out at Premier Lara Giddings for "pay(ing) more attention to her hair than the needs of the Tasmanian people".
Mr Palmer said PUP was hoping to pick up support from Tasmania's undecided voters.
Recent ReachTEL polling for the Mercury showed PUP would receive about 7.5 per cent of first preference votes.

Bart - i think Roger is also confused about the first-past-the-post electoral system. He thinks it will not allow small parties to 'control our parliaments through the divide and rule concept.' Nor does it allow democracy to work. The best example is the UK where 75% of current sitting MPs didn't win a majority in their own seats in 2010, and government is regularly formed by parties with less than 40% of the vote. If Roger wants the main parties to win the day then they'd better try producing policies and leaders that appeal to the electorate. Don't go blaming the electoral system if voters want to vote for minor parties.
Janet Williams of Middleton Posted at 6:24 PM March 03, 2014
Mark Shaw at 3.46 today. Disagreeing with something is not a policy. Tasmania has a functional anti-corruption watchdog so, please, think of the reasons why Ms Etter might be suggesting a competing commission? Also, not everyone agrees with her views about Susan Neill-Fraser. So, what are your reasons for voting for a thrown-together party named after the politically inexperienced man who thought it up?
Bart Smythe of Hobart Posted at 4:08 PM March 03, 2014
To "roger connolly of kingston Posted at 11:52 AM Today" Tas Electoral Commission does not pay any money to state election candidates regardless of how many votes they get except maybe refunding their candidate deposits if they get more than 4% of the vote at any stage of distribution of preferences. You are confused and must be thinking of the federal election system. I wonder what else in your comments is based on various elements of confusion?

The Wolf Pack now knows where the bar is set to win the Mountain West.
And, on Tuesday, it showed it's not close to clearing that bar. At least not yet.
Boosted by a $2 per ticket promotion, a season-high 8,669 fans streamed into Lawlor Events Center to watch the MWC-leading Wolf Pack take on Boise State. Less than 2,000 were still on hand when the final second ticked off the game clock and Nevada's 74-65 loss to a superior Broncos squad was sealed. ...

Blue Lake Elementary School Reviews
Great school...great staff and Ms. Long was the greatest teacher!!!
love the principal mr. williams...very passionate and enthusiastic....great!
I believe that most teachers go the 'extra mile' for students that attend Blue Lake. The school features a fabulous music program with 3 teachers that have diversified styles and focus areas. Along with tutoring, there are two music and an environmental club that students are able to join. The school seeks to highlight families with their Grandparents' Day and Family Hispanic Night and encourages community involvement with 'Just Read' day speakers. Blue Lake hosts an international migratory birding project and interdisciplinary curriculum outreach.

Rent it Right
Rent it Right
Janet Portman
Inman News®
Q: Last week the city was working on replacing gas lines in our neighborhood, which required turning off the gas. When they were done, they went house to house, turning the gas on and then going inside to relight pilot lights. They explained that this was a necessary safety precaution. We gave them permission to enter, but our tenants were upset when they found out. Were we in the wrong? --Donna and Mike
A: Many states regulate the reasons for which landlords may enter unannounced and without permission from the tenants. Shared by all of them is entry in order to deal with an emergency, such as to address a suspected gas or water leak, to respond to sounds of distress inside, and so on. The common thread is that landlords may enter to stop serious property damage or personal injury.
Your situation is an interesting wrinkle on the "emergency" nature of your entry. As I understand it, once the gas was shut off at the street, any remaining gas in the house lines was quickly used up by the pilots. Relighting pilots can be tricky, especially when you're dealing with empty gas lines that have just been reopened. In addition, many pilots are in hard-to-reach places, such as under stoves and in furnaces located in attics.
I suspect that the plumbers come inside to relight the pilots to avert the possibility of any nasty surprises. In other words, they're coming in so that they can avoid an emergency.
I can't recall seeing "in order to avoid an emergency" on any state's list of approved reasons for unannounced entries. But here is where we must get real: If there's solid engineering or scientific reasons for having a professional relight the pilots, few judges are going to say that you should have kept the pro out of the house, especially when there's no allegation of misconduct on the part of the plumber.
True, you could have asked them to come back later, after you had either posted appropriate notice (one or two days, in most states) or obtained permission from the tenants. But in the meantime, the gas appliances would have been nonfunctional, and you'd run the risk that the tenants, frustrated with no hot water, heat or stove, would have taken matters into their own hands. That would have been dangerous.
Q: My sister has a physically abusive relationship with her husband. He has threatened to harm their young children if she does not comply with his demands. Can she get out of the lease and move? --Lucy G.
A: Your sister's best hope is that she lives in one of the 20 or so states that have laws enabling victims of domestic violence to terminate their leases before the terms expire. In addition, several states are considering legislation that would do the same.
States provide tenants with rights when they experience "domestic violence," "intrafamily violence," and so on. In a couple of states, termination rights exist when there has been sexual assault or stalking. But who must be the target of these actions?
In a few states, termination rights apply only when the tenant is the victim or intended victim. If your sister lives in one of these states, she may not be able to take advantage of the law. But isn't the child a tenant too, you ask? A judge may say no, in the sense that a child doesn't sign the lease and isn't responsible for paying rent. But, on the other hand, the child is entitled to the benefit of many tenant-protection laws, such as the ban on illegal discrimination, and in the broader sense, could qualify as a tenant.
Perhaps in order to avoid this rather technical problem, many states have taken a common sense approach and have extended protection to the tenant and the tenant's child or another member of the tenant's household. Such laws would cover your sister's situation.

My Discussions
My Email Digests
I've gone through a lot of recent major changes within the past few years and maybe that's compounded the confusion.
- Laid off from work, had to relocate cross-country for gainful employment.
- Don't have a current place to live on my own.
- Currently unable to keep my beloved pets by my side due to mixed living arrangement, had to make alternate arrangement with visitation rights.
- Any friends I had (local or distant) just abandoned me: changed numbers, ignore e-mails, ignore all other attempts to just say "hello"
- Sued on a small debt I'd already made payment arrangements on prior and during being laid-off, had to obtain legal aid to resolve.
I try to get out more and socialize so I'm not as big of an introvert but I find people are just rude and it makes me want to get out less and less. One vehicle driver pulled up beside me on the road to yell at me for driving the speed limit instead of going 60 MPH on my work commute one day. Maybe I just don't understand people even with as much as I step back in life to observe them, but I didn't see a reason why this individual needed to take this kind of action.
It just feels safer to stay inside, but it's still pretty isolated. I keep myself busy reading books I borrow from the library and taking up learning individual hobbies, but I miss having someone around to share my discoveries and interests. I'm not sure where to begin and I feel ridiculous as I write this since I ramble a lot on tangents - I just want to know how I understand if this is something wrong with me or if perhaps it's something I may need to get some counseling for to resolve. My family hasn't been a lot of help, I have no friends and the past doctors I've been to are all about running expensive tests I can't afford instead of spending more than 5 seconds to talk with me. I'm not sure how to find a legit doctor that will "hear" me instead of just review my insurance coverage and spend 5 seconds before sending in a nurse to explain a process that was diagnosed from just peeking into the room and glancing at me.
I'm certain that I'm very stressed out, and I've tried a few things to help reduce that, but I'm not sure I'm getting to the main core of the issue. Maybe this is what depression is...maybe this is what being bi-polar is...or maybe it's just a lot of pent up stress in life - whatever it is, I can't "see the forest for the trees" to get a better direction of how to proceed. I don't want the pat on the head and to be told to "put my big girl pants on" every time. I think, even though I've mentioned just a few of the major things I've been dealing with recently - I want to believe that I've done a pretty good job in dealing with life's snags. It just gets exhausting and it wears me down when it feels like a constant barrage.View Thread

After Saturday's verdict by a US court that found Samsung guilty of violating Apple's iPhone patents, Apple has initiated proceedings that could see the South Korean firm almost disappear from the US smartphone market.
Apple has filed a notice with the court to ban a total of eight smartphones across three communications providers. The devices are the Galaxy S 4G, Galaxy S2 AT&T model, Galaxy S2 Skyrocket, Galaxy S2 T-Mobile model, Galaxy S2 Epic 4G, Galaxy S Showcase, Droid Charge and Galaxy Prevail.
Apple still needs to prove to the court that its business will be massively damaged by not banning the handsets in order to have the request upheld.
Meanwhile, HTC chairwoman Cher Wang has said she remains absolutely resolute in her refusal to settle with Apple over the two firms' own patent lawsuit.
"Samsung's defeat does not mean that Google Inc.'s Android camp is defeated," Wang told news website Cnyes.
"Every company has good innovations," added Wang. Last year, the US International Trade Commission banned HTC phones on the grounds of infringing on Apple's patent on system detected data structures – intelligently recognising phone numbers and email addresses – but HTC soon sidestepped the embargo with a software workaround.
Perhaps Wang is hinting that the company has more responses of this nature up its sleeve.
Finally, more evidence has emerged that Apple has not spent all its time and energy on legal wranglings recently. Photos published on Chinese blog Apple.pro appear to show leaked images of an iPhone 5 with what looks suspiciously like an NFC radio (pictured).
While it will be absolutely no surprise that the device, which is rumoured to be launching alongside iOS 6.0 – a mobile OS update that will introduce Apple's Passbook e-wallet system – will contain such technology, this could be the first compelling evidence.
With Everything Everywhere now granted permission to roll out 4G on 11 September 2012 – the alleged day before the iPhone 5 release – the company could be looking at a minor coup if NFC is indeed at the forefront of Apple's functionality decisions.

INCH Power Rankings
When the top three teams in the previous edition
of the Inside College Hockey Power Rankings combine to accumulate
a 1-5-0 record during the subsequent week, change is guaranteed.
That made room for Minnesota and Minnesota Duluth to move
to the top of the rankings. We gave the Gophers a slight edge
on head-to-head results and overall winning percentage, but
that doesn't discount Minnesota Duluth's 12-game unbeaten
Here's how the Inside College Hockey editors
and staff rank the nation's top teams (along with a note for
each team).
Merrimack played its fourth overtime game in a span
of five contests and for the first time it didn't go
the Warriors' way. After a tie and two victories in
extra time, Providence scored the OT-winner on Friday
night and handed Merrimack its first loss of the year.
Dropped out: Miami,
Michigan Tech, Nebraska-Omaha
Air Force, Michigan Tech, Nebraska-Omaha

What Are the Benefits of Licensing?
If you're like us, your pet is part of your family. Licensing your pet acts as a form of insurance, enabling animal control officers to contact you if your pet becomes lost. Additionally, by purchasing a license for your pet, you are helping to provide funding that ensures all lost pets are given appropriate attention and medical care while waiting to be reunited with their owners.
By licensing your pet, you:
- dramatically increase the chance that you will be reunited with your pet should he or she become lost
- establish ownership of your pet, especially important when a fellow citizen finds your lost pet
- guarantee that your pet, family, and neighborhood are protected against rabies
- provide much needed funding for your city's animal control, which will in turn provide food, shelter, and medical care for your pet if/when he/she is lost
- may be helping to provide access to low-cost spay/neuter services for low-income residents in your area
- avoid costly fines down the road for non-compliance
Licensing your pet is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your pet in the unfortunate case that he or she becomes lost.
Many pets in shelters were once owned, but due to a lack of identification are never reunited with their owners. The unfortunate truth is that many of these pets never find homes and are ultimately euthanized. Licensing your pet increases your change of being reunited with your pet, which allows animal control to focus on caring for and finding homes for other pets in need.
Bottom line:
More pets licensed = more pets reunited with owners = fewer pets in shelters = fewer pets euthanized.
How are the licensing fees used?
Licensing fees provide much needed revenue to your city/county, and your animal control agency.
A majority of your licensing fee will be used to fund animal control activities, such as picking up and housing stray animals, providing impounded animals with food, water, and necessary medical attention, and making all attempts possible to reunite pets with their owners.
Additionally, licensing fees may be used:
- to operate a "Free Ride Home" program. If your licensed pet is picked up by animal control, they'll bring Fluffy home instead of taking him to the shelter!
- to subsidize low-cost spay and neuter services for low-income families in your area
- to host adoption events or other community fairs geared at spreading the word about the wonderful pets available in the shelter
- to deliver public education and school programs

Canon 6D vs Nikon D600 ?

I don't think anyone can make a broad statement. Ken loves vivid jpegs, and Canon seems to do a better job with jpegs noise versus RAW photos. So a lot depends on how you use the camera, ergos and your lens requirements. If you value shooting movies in crop mode Nikon can do that. Can you live with the slower fps, maybe yes if you do portraits, but not for sports. A lot depends on what trades off are important to you and what you already have in your photo system.

The Art Affair, one half of this weekend's Granville Art Affair-Rotary Wine Festival, will return to the Great Lawn of the Bryn Du Mansion Friday and Saturday.
- Filed Under
Art, wine and beer, food and music are in store for visitors to this year's Granville Art Affair and Rotary Wine Festival Friday and Saturday on the Bryn Du Mansion Great Lawn and on the mansion grounds.
The popularity of the wine and food sampling at previous years' events not only encouraged the Food and Wine Experience to move to the mansion itself and the Field House, but prompted an increase in varieties of wine offered on the lawn during the Art Affair.
Changing the two-day event to a Friday and Saturday last year provided two late afternoon/evening opportunities for visitors to enjoy the wine and beer sampling, leading to the decison to keep that format this year, said event managers Sandy Libertini and Melinda Moore.
The sixth annual event is Friday from 5 to 9 p.m., and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., and features five stations where visitors can enjoy over 30 varieties of wine and beer.
The Barefoot Wine Tent will offer seven labels, while the Matesich Distributing Beer Tent features 11 of its wine and international beer brands.
The Taste of Ohio Tent consists of a variety of wine, cider and liqueurs from Buckeye Lake Winery, Legend Valley Cider, Barrel Run Crossing and Veriano, a New Albany company whose product Tessora Limoncello Classico was popular at last year's event.
Tickets for tastings at the Art Affair are $10 for five and are available at the event.
Should visitors desire a more palatable experience, the Rotary Food and Wine Experience on Saturday from 5 to 8 p.m. offers 50-plus wine, beer and spirits paired with food from 10-plus restaurants including the Granville Inn, Bon Appetit from Denison University, Palumbo's Market and Moe's Original Barb B Que, in the comfort of the Bryn Du Mansion and Field House.
Emily George, head bartender at Lindey's of German Village, and Mia Dorman, mixologist and general manager at The Grill and Alehouse, will provide signature cocktail demonstrations.
Advance limited tickets to the Rotary's Food and Wine Experience are on sale now for $50 and can be purchased by midnight Fridayat www.granvillerotaryfoodandwine.com. All ticket proceeds benefit multiple projects of the Granville Rotary Foundation both locally and abroad.
Yet another change is an improved live entertainment line-up. Live music will be provided throughout the entire event on the lawn with Andy Boylan as the deejay. Event manager Melinda Moore sought musical groups that could provide an array of musical genre.
Friday's entertainment is provided by Classic RPM, an oldies group, and The Ultrasounds, a Newark-based jazz-fusion group of 11 Licking Memorial Hospital physicians.
Saturday's line-up includes country/bluegrass singer Sheri Dean, contemporary rock by 732 The Electric Duo, and Blue Level Music, which will provide a variety of pop and jazz.
Art Affair artists have been accepted from Ohio and throughout the United States. New this year is glass artist Aaron Buchholz, a former glass artist from The Works in Newark, who has a St. Louisville-based studio and offers a variety of glasswork. Artists Kathy Anderson will return with a showcase of her paintings, and Erin Hartline returns with her unique line in the fiber media category.
Other event attractions include the hands-on art activity event for aspiring artists of all ages, a classic car cruise-in auto display on Friday and polo match on Saturday.
