Very Rare Silver

Very Rare Silver

How "rare" are red poodles, really? (and a little weimaraner coloring question mixed in)?

I found a really old ad in my newspaper that read "3 *VERY RARE* red standard poodle pups" and they were wanting like $1,500 for each of them.

I know that no color is truly rare, per say, but there are some that are unusual (like sable Border Collies)

Also, are there different colors of Weims (don't feel like typing out the whole thing). There was another ad that said "AKC WEIMARINER PUPS Ch. bloodlines, 2 Blue, 5 silver/grey"
I thought they only came in the one color...?

You'll be happy to know I used these ad as well as all the other puppy ads as a paper liner for my bird's cage
agirl, I would never pay more than $5 for a dog that was being sold in the paper and being called "rare".

They are not RED they are called APRICOT...I use to have one as a kid,may look more red but not rare at all..

Rare Grade

Rare Grade

The first question I ask people is why they want to invest in rare coins. Is it because they heard that rare coins appreciate at a sizable rate? Did they hear that rare coins have outperformed just about every market over the past 50 years? Is it that they want to hold hard assets as part of their investment portfolio?

Most people respond that they like what they have heard from large rare coin companies whom they have spoken with. They like knowing that these coins go up in value every year. They like the fact that there are limited quantities of the "rare coins". But too often, they are not aware that not all "rare" coins are rare. That is, just because someone says something is rare does not make it so.

Investing is rare coins can be profitable but you really must know what you are doing. Like any other profession, there are good service providers and bad ones. There are those that truly want to see you make prudent investments and then there are those that only want to line their own pockets. The way to avoid losing your shirt is to be proactive.

Being proactive means learning about rare coins. Would you just buy a stock that someone tells you is a good deal without knowing what the company produces or the service they provide? Probably not, so you must do the same due diligence when investing in rare coins.

First off, find out what makes a coin rare. Is it rare because so few were made or because of the fact that although millions were minted, few have survived? Is there a possibility that a hoard may be uncovered and the market flooded thus driving the value of you coin down dramatically?

You really must become a student of numismatics to make informed decisions or you will have to rely on the honesty and integrity of a professional dealer. If you rely on a dealer to make recommendations, find out what you can about the dealer. How long has he been in business? Does he own the company or is he just a salesman? Is the company too large? Will you merely be a number when you deal with them and not a person? What are the dealers credentials? What about his personal life? Does he seem to be honest?

For those of you who are willing to do your own homework, welcome to rare coin investing. To those of you with no interest in rare coins and merely want an alternative investment vehicle, buy gold, silver and platinum bullion until you have the knowledge to invest in rare coins. Rare coins are a long term investment and may not be liquid enough for your purposes. Bullion is liquid anywhere in the world, any time.

When investing in rare coins, find out what the different grading services mean. Some services have no credibility and must be avoided at all cost. These coins are often overgraded and worth a fraction of the asking price. What about population? Population is the number of coins that have been certified in a particular grade. Just because the population of a coin may be 2 or 3 does not necessarily make it rare. It may be that enough people have not submitted their coins to be certified but there are in fact, hundreds of these coins waiting in the wings.

Every dealer has an opinion about what coins to invest in. Some dealers specialize in only one type of coin, hence they are partial to selling and touting that type of coin. If you intend to specialize in the same type of coin, such a dealer may be perfect for you. If you have no interest in forming a "collection" and instead are looking at investment potential, do not invest in one particular type of coin only. If that series falls out of favor with collectors and investors, the values will drop.

In my years of designing numismatic portfolios for private clients, we have seen some coins come and go in popularity. However, some series are always popular. Similarly, when we design precious metals portfolios (bullion), we take into account the current and projected demand (and supply) of the metals we include in the portfolio and the percentage of each.

Investing in rare coins, and/or bullion, is not to be taken lightly. There is a lot of work involved with designing a well balanced portfolio. We work with high net worth individuals who are seasoned investors. We welcome their calls and questions. Nothing makes me happier than telling a client that his portfolio has risen 30% in the past year.

If you have been thinking about investing in rare coins or bullion, or if you are presently working with a dealer but are unhappy, feel free to contact me. I would be glad to answer your questions, and possibly work with you to achieve your goals.

Is it rare someone finishes first degree or masters with a grade of A or B in USA?

No, it's not rare. My university has roughly 17,000 students, and there were probably 500 that graduated with a 3.0 or higher. About 150 had a GPA of 3.7+. And this isn't out of the entire 17,000, just the 3,000 or so that actually graduated.

Historic Cities

Historic Cities

Germany's most well known touristic route is the 355km long Romantic Road which connects walled towns and picturesque villages. Outside Germany this road is best known in Japan (93% of Japanese capable of traveling have heard of it), Italy and the US.

The road follows the course of the Roman highway Via Augustus and was also a medieval trade route that connected some of the towns along the Romantic Road. It leads from Wuerzburg in North Bavaria along a number of medieval villages right down to Schwangau with one of Germany's leading attractions: the magnificent fairytale castle Neuschwanstein in the Bavarian Alps, King Ludwig's masterpiece and Walt Disney's inspiration.

Highlights along the way are the best preserved medieval town Rothenburg ob der Tauber with its timber-framed houses and the entertaining night watchman tour (English tour at 8pm every night), the wine, cathedral and Baroque city of Wuerzburg with its Residenz palace. This palace served as the home for Wuerzburg's powerful prince-bishops during the Enlightenment and is known for its extravagant artistic design and Baroque architecture. Then you will discover one of Germany's oldest cities Augsburg where you'll encounter the legacy of the Romans and the wealthy traders like the Fugger family. Its historic city centre with its baroque town houses, splendid boulevards, and traditional restaurants, invites you to enjoy a genuine medieval candlelight dinner in old vaulted rooms. At the very end of the romantic route lies medieval Fuessen with its charming historic town centre and narrow streets.

In addition to numerous castles, the Fuessen - Schwangau region offers spectacular mountain views and a host of outdoor activities like skiing, mountain hiking and sailing as well as great accommodation. After traveling from village to village the Schwangau region invites you to spend at least 1 week to truly enjoy the variety of leisure opportunities from indulging wellness islands to culinary highlights, hiking to points of exceptional natural beauty, cycling around the clear lakes with panoramic views of the Alps as your backdrop or simply enjoying the view from one of the many mountain hut sun terraces. Even opportunities for adrenalin seekers abound (e.g. rock climbing, high rope course climbing, paragliding tandem jumps or 3-day quick trainings to jump yourself).

The very name of the Romantic Road expresses the feeling that many visitors have when they first set their eyes on this special mix of history, cultural riches and natural beauty along the way. Sometimes one feels like being taken back in time - a wonderfully peaceful feeling. Perfect for your holiday!

Silke Rehman loves the South Bavarian region and after 12 years of moving from London, to Geneva back to London and Dubai, she has settled in Schwangau by Neuschwanstein Castle, the gorgeous place where she used to come for holidays. She is a co-active life coach specializing in helping powerful women, who dream of making a real difference in this world.

Why Did The Germans Declare Florance, Athens, and Chieti Open Cities in WWII?

The Nazis don't the type that would care about civilians in Italy and Greece from getting killed or to protect historic buildings. But is that why they did it?

The answer is a bit different not the Nazis but the people from these cities declared it :

"Open City" .
In war, in the event of the imminent capture of a city, the government/military structure of the nation that controls the city will sometimes declare it an open city, thus announcing that they have abandoned all defensive efforts. The attacking armies of the opposing military will then be expected not to bomb or otherwise attack the city, but simply to march in. The concept aims at protecting the historic landmarks and civilians who dwell in the city from an unnecessary battle.

Some examples of declarations of an open city include:

Brussels in 1940, World War II
Paris in 1940, from which the French Government fled after it became apparent that they could not defend it
Manila in 1942, which the American military abandoned because the city had lost strategic value in light of events
Athens on 1944-10-11 was declared an open city by the Germans[1]
Rome on 1943-08-14, which the defending forces declared unilaterally an "open city"; the Allied forces entered Rome in June 1944; the German forces also declared Florence and Chieti "open cities"
Attacking forces do not always respect the declaration of an "open city." This happened, for example, with the German bombardment of Belgrade in April 1941, and the American bombardment of Rome in 1944.

How can I get my copy of Microsoft Office off my old computer and onto a different one? Do I uninstall first?

I don't plan to use the old computer anymore, but it is still functional. I just want Office on a different Hard Drive.

You can't copy a program like Office to another computer.
When it is installed the bulk of the files go into it's main folder but others are installed elsewhere, such as the registry and system file folders.
Without those files the program will not work.
If you don't have the original installation disk I think you're only option is to buy the program again.

Open office is a free alternative program and is compatible with MS Office files.

What was called the name of the coin in the 17 century in France?

Im doing a project for history (grade 7) and i have to do an advertasing poster about Coureurs de bois, but hte thing is that one of the ideas i need to put how much the job is oging to pay them; so does anyone know what was called the name of the coin in the 17 centurey like dollar or euro.

thnx you are really helping me. Anyway thnx!! lol

this is interesting.

until 1640, france used the franc, then louis XIII remaned the coin the "louis".

it changed back to the franc after the revolution of 1789.

they were divided into ecus and sols - things were cheap in those days, a franc would have been a lot of money to most people.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_(coin)

so it depends which half of the 17th century you are talking about.
