restore the shine and brilliance of silver jewelry. Avoid

10 Great Cents By Paul M. Green (Coins Magazine, November 2005)
http://www.coins-collecting.info
It is safe to say there have been many important coins in the
history of the cent denomination. Ranging from expensive and
scarce to rather available and inexpensive, important cents take
a number of forms, making the top 10 an interesting and diverse
group.
The cent was a high priority for the U.S. Mint from its start,
with the first cents being minted for circulation in 1793, the
year after the Mint opened. Here's my list of the 10 best that
have been produced since then.
1. The design of the 1793 Flowing Hair chain cent is credited to
Henry Voight. It shows Liberty facing left, with a chai (read full article) |

Time for Change
The United States Congress is once again contemplating several
issues regarding our currency and coins. These include the
Dollar, Quarter, and Cent. Many in congress wish to stay with
the current designs, and pass laws so that they cannot be
changed.
The first law governing coin designs dates back to 1792. Many
during this time wanted our nation's coins to bear the image of
George Washington. Washington was very adamant against this
idea, referring to a coin bearing the image of a person to being
monarchical. In September of 1792 the Morris bill proposed our
coins bear the emblematic image of Liberty. Rep. John Page, who
served under Washington during the French and Indian (read full article) |

| Article Title :: The Camera and the Influence of Digital Technology |
| |
|
In the study of the camera, digital technology influence comes
from a variety of different sources to give rise to modern
digital photographic capabilities. Some of these technologies
are then advanced in special niches to create new advances in
science. One of the best examples of this exchange of digital
technology is the CCD or Charge-coupled device. This is the
digital technology breakthrough that made the digital camera
possible.
When light strikes the CCD surface, it frees electrons to move
around and those electrons accumulate in capacitors. Those
electrons are "counted" at regular intervals by a circuit which
dumps the electrons from each point on the CCD surface. When all
of these (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Does your dog think he owns you? |
| |
|
I once again feel compelled to write about dog training. Our
dogs need to know and obey at least the very basic obedience
commands, commands that will keep our dogs safe.
Today, much more so than ever before, dogs are very much
included in daily activities. Families take their dogs with them
on family outings. Young people take their dogs out to-well,
wherever they go. And the golden middle aged couples seem to
take their dogs with them everywhere they go.
Dogs find themselves boating, biking, swimming, scootering,
traveling, and doing just about everything humans do. Dogs need
to be courteous, well behaved, and clean when in public. A dog
that falls into this category is well accepted i (read full article) |

My little neighbor, 10 year old Hope, came over to visit my dog.
Hope, such a beautiful name for a beautiful child, is a very
grown up 10 year old little girl. She loves my dog, Katie Bear.
Katie is a big beautiful Golden Retriever. Her nickname of bear
came about because when she scrunched her face it got all
wrinkly, making her look like one of these big expensive plush
stuffed bears. She is so huggable. Katie is also 14 years old
and very sick. I have been holding off the inevitable last act I
must do for her. I have been pushing away my duty to do what
must be done, but what cannot be done. Ah, no way, impossible. I
cannot do it. Never! Not to my Katie. I carry Katie up and down

to the health of your dog. Perform regular checks and cleaning
