INPUT ARTICLE: 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.

SUMMARY: 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.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The Asshole deals one deck of cards (without the jokers) clockwise to the left, starting with himself and proceeding in order of player hierarchy from low to high until all cards are dealt (presuming the participants are sitting in order). This ensures that the King begins with the fewest number of cards if the hands are uneven. Some parties may wish to sit in order each round to make it easier. At the first round, anyone can deal. If there is an uneven number of cards to be had, roll a die to see who gets the fewest. In certain variants, the Asshole must hand over his two best cards to the King. If there is a Vice Asshole or Asshole Jr., he must hand over 1. The King and VP then hand over 2 and 1, respectively, of their worst cards. Either the player to the left of the dealer or the player with a designated card (4 of clubs, say) begins the "trick" (like in Spades or Bridge). The next player can either lay the same card, a higher card, or a pair, three, or four of the same or higher card. With each turn, the value of the cards gets higher and higher until no one can play. Each player must at least lay the same number of cards. If 2 threes are laid down, the succeeding play must be either 2 threes or 2 fours, etc. Of course, 3 or 4 of the same card is doable as well. If a player cannot go, they pass. They can still play in the same round--they are just opting to pass that specific turn. If all players cannot go, the hand is cleared and the last person to lay a hand down starts again. " As the rounds progress, each player is holding fewer and fewer cards. When one runs out, they become King. That player then sits happily while the rest fight to the death not to become the Asshole. To make the game go more quickly, however, you may count each player's cards after the King is established to assign roles. If keeping score, the players get points depending on their position - for example 2 for the President, 1 for the Vice President and nothing for the others. More importantly, the players of higher status are entitled to enjoy and generally abuse their power over the lower ranking players.

SUMMARY: Deal the cards. Start with a low card. Continue the "tricks.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Place two popsicle sticks together, one on top of the other. If you're recycling used popsicle sticks, make sure that they have been washed and dried before using them for this project. Large popsicle sticks work best, but any size can be used. Tightly wrap a small strip of paper around one end of the popsicle sticks and tape the loop together. Repeat this with a second strip and the other end of the sticks. Each strip of paper should be about 3/4 inch (1.9 cm) wide and 3 inches (7.6 cm) long. You will need to wrap the strip around itself several times. When taping the paper loop together, only tape the paper to itself. Do not tape it to either popsicle stick. Carefully ease out one of the popsicle sticks, working carefully to prevent damaging or disturbing the paper loops. Set this stick aside for now. The other stick should still be inside the paper loops. Place one large, wide rubber band over the popsicle stick and paper loops. The rubber band should run from end to end. It should be taut, but not so tight that it can snap or fling off. Place the second popsicle stick back on top of the first, sandwiching one side of the rubber band in between the two sticks in the process. The two sticks should line up evenly when viewed from the top, bottom, and sides. Use a small, thin rubber band to fasten the sticks together at one end. Use a second similar rubber band to hold the sticks together at the opposite end. These rubber bands should be placed to the outside edge of the paper bands. The harmonica is done at this point. To play it, blow through the popsicle sticks, focusing your breath so that it is directly completely through the instrument and not around it.

SUMMARY:
Overlap two popsicle sticks. Wrap a strip of paper around each end. Slide out one of the sticks. Attach a wide rubber band lengthwise. Slide both sticks back together. Hold the ends in place with additional rubber bands. Play the harmonica.
