Article: Many banks sell silver, so you can start your search for a dealer by visiting your local branch. While you should feel free to compare prices, banks often sell their silver at less of a markup than other dealers. Even if your bank does not sell silver, they will likely be able to give you reliable advice on trusted dealers in your community. You can also search online to see if you can find reliable information about silver dealers in your area. Make sure you're getting your information from a site you can trust, like that of a known news organization in your area. If you've found a dealer you're interested in but have reservations, contact your local consumer protection bureau or your state's attorney general to see if any complaints have been filed against the dealer. There are many disreputable dealers of silver online and many scams. Additionally, it can be very expensive to ship silver bars, which greatly adds to the cost of purchasing the bars themselves. The spot price of silver is the current price of the metal on the market. Silver bars are usually sold a little over this price. The more you know about the current price of silver, the surer you can be that you're getting a good deal for the money you're paying. If the dealer is asking well over the spot price, be extremely cautious when deciding whether or not to make the purchase. Disreputable dealers will try to make false claims about how valuable their bars are. A typical sign that a dealer is unreliable is that they make claims about the value of their bars that is very out of line with the current silver market. Do not do business with dealers who tell you information that your research proves to be false.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Ask your bank about trusted silver dealers near you. Avoid shopping for silver online. Research the spot price of silver before making a deal. Watch out for false claims from dealers.
Article: You don't have to do this, but it's what makes the cake traditional. The person who finds the plastic baby typically has to host the next party. Some traditions say that he or she has to make the next cake. If you can't find a baby figurine, or don't want to use one, try an orange wedge or a pecan half instead. They are edible and less likely to hurt someone's teeth! If you want to, you can use a cardboard cake platter instead. Gold would go especially well with the Mardi Gras theme, and even more so considering that this is a King's cake. Pour 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) of warm water into a mixing bowl. Stir in the powdered sugar. Keep stirring until all of the water is absorbed and the powdered sugar turns fluid. The icing should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. If it's too thick or too dry, add another tablespoon (15 milliliters) of water. Use a soup or sauce ladle to scoop up the icing and pour it in a thick, generous layer onto the cake. Avoid getting any icing in the empty middle, however! Try to sprinkle the sugar on in even bands of purple, green, and gold. The bands can be as thick or as thin as you'd like. You can use a thick, generous sprinkling of sugar or just a delicate dusting. If you can't find any gold sugar, use yellow instead.

Push a small, plastic, baby doll into the bottom of each cake. Place the cakes onto serving dishes. Prepare the icing. Pour the icing over the cakes while they are still warm. Sprinkle the cakes with purple, green, and gold sugar.
Article: When you reach the location where you need to drop off the load, push the lever that controls the tilt forward to make the mast vertical again. Otherwise, you'll lift or set your load down crooked. Make sure you have the parking brake on and the forklift in neutral while you adjust the height. Leave at least 6 inches (15cm) between the forks and the place where you're setting the load. If you're dropping the load on the ground, you don't need to adjust the height since it should already be just above the ground. Deactivate the parking brake and shift the forklift to forward. Slowly move forward until the load is directly over the place where you're dropping it. When you're in the right spot, press down on the brake pedal to stop and shift into neutral before applying the parking brake again. If you're setting your load down on a stand, make sure it's centered over the stand before setting it down. Use the lever on the right side of the steering column to lower the load. Make sure the pallet has full contact with the surface underneath. You should be able to feel the weight of the load come off the forks once it's set down. Check behind you to make sure no one is standing there. Shift the forklift into reverse, disengage the parking brake, and use the accelerator to slowly back out from the load. Make sure not to turn or else you could knock the load over. Don't forget to lower the fork closer to the ground before you start driving again.
