Great job
When I arrived to the location on broad street in providence I was greeted by Luis and Stephen . They made my truck renting experience very quick and easy, they also took their time to explain the terms and conditions of my rental. It was a very good overall experice... I've rented from other companies, but not anymore.. I'll come back to this location and would also recommend it to my friends and family.
I tried to make another reservation for a 3 day rental and was informed I couldn't; that I had to make a one day reservation, then call the day I have it and extend it to three. I found it ridiculous and called Budget. You lost that one!
The vehicle reeked of cigarette smoke, making it necessary to have the windows open on a 47-degree morning. The proprietor and staff were efficient and polite.
Fast friendly competent service.
When making reservation, explain to customer that the requested time needed to complete task (24 hours) may not be available at time of pick up.
Rental trucks aren't guaranteed the 24 hour window to complete a move.
If you have guaranteed reservations then make sure the right truck is there on time. We traveled almost 400 miles to get there and then had to wait almost 2 hours to get a truck. Unacceptable
The only thing that I didn't like was that I was charged $65 for only using the truck less then 3 hours.
Comment .....Everyone I spoke to was very polite, friendly and well spoken.....it was very easy doing business at this location.....Thank You, peter
Gene, was the best customer service person I have ever met
I rented a 14" truck, and used it for four hours. I checked my emailed and found out they charged me 250$ for some damage. I know for sure that I did not do any damage to the tuck. I went there, the guy I spoke to said that I sign the paper and I am responsible even of the damage was not done by me. And that there was nothing they could do for me about that issue. It just sucks to get charged for something you have nothing to do with. The scratches on the truck looked like they are done by a knife or something sharp like metal. And the scratches were not that bad plus they looked a little old not fresh or newly done.
I would never rent from uhaul again. And do not drop your rental after closing hours because they can blame stuff on you.
Good experience
Excellent experience although truck return parking is limited
I'm not sure of his name, but I believe he was the manager. Very helpful, great experience.
Loved the customer service Stephen provided to me and my brother.
I have been a customer multiple times since moving to the area 6 years ago. Every staff member has been courteous and informative and I have been very impressed with the professionalism. This location should receive an award from UHaul for exemplary service!
The rental truck was waiting for me when I got there. Truck was very clean. All charges were explained upon return. Nice operation. Can't really think of any improvements needed.
Y'all were great. Quick, immediate service both on pick-up and drop-off.
I was late 30 minutes and
Dropped off truck. Store manager Steve would not help me in regards to extra day charged to my card when it was only 30 minutes late. I rent with you guys all the time and Steve was unwilling to help or offer any way to appease me. I work with customer service all my life and I know that there is always something that can be done.
Staff was friendly, helpful, neighborhood was not the best. Truck was clean and new. Could not understand why I had to go to a second U-Haul in Providence RI to pick up a vehicle trailer (not dolly). The second location had the same truck available.
Never received the $25 discount for cleaning/sweeping out the truck after use, even though I mentioned it when paying for the rental. Don't offer a discount if you aren't going to honor it!
Everything was awesome! Keep up the great service!
I filled the gas tank back up to where it was when I rented the truck, but I was still given a $30 dollar gas charge. This ruined my whole experience, which was otherwise fine.
I booked a rental over the phone (I confirmed 7pm-2pm).. But the timing when I went to get the truck was somehow 7pm-3am.
It ended up working out, but I was counting on the timing I'd booked.

text: Home > About the CIA > News and MediaPast News StoriesFor the MediaYouTube Channel Share This The Culinary Institute of America's Historical Menu Archive Goes Digital Posted: July 9, 2013 Media Contact:Jeff Levine Communications Manager email@example.com Park, NY – Have you ever wondered what dishes were on the menu of the first public restaurant at The Culinary Institute of America (CIA) in the early 1970s? Or what was served in its American Bounty Restaurant in the 1980s when the CIA was changing the definition of American cuisine? If so, you can now take a gastronomic tour of the dining history of the college—and beyond—from anywhere in the world, thanks to a new online archive of restaurant menus. The Conrad N. Hilton Library at the CIA is sharing selections from its menu collection through Hudson River Valley Heritage—a collaborative project providing online access to materials from digital collections of colleges, libraries, archives, historical societies, museums, and cultural organizations in the Hudson Valley. Hundreds of early menus from CIA restaurants and events are now searchable by keyword. More are continuously being added, including historical menus from around the world dating as far back as 1855. Menus can be browsed or searched online at www.hrvh.org/cdm/landingpage/collection/cia. "The CIA is an important part of the history of the Hudson River Valley," says Eric Hinsdale, CIA director of library and information services. "I'm happy to have our materials included in the project along with those of so many of the region's other cultural organizations." Housed in the Hilton library, this special collection of more than 25,000 menus includes menus from CIA restaurants, along with gifts from major menu collectors, including George Lang, Chapman S. Root, Vinnie Oakes, and Roy Andries de Groot. Assembled over decades, the collection illustrates the history of dining in America and abroad. Menus come from all 50 states and more than 80 countries, as well as from ships, railroads, and airlines. The CIA Menu Collection is one of many digitized historic collections that can be searched online at hrvh.org. These collections contain photos, postcards, letters, diaries, newspapers, scrapbooks, manuscripts, memorabilia, maps, ephemera, and even audio and video clips. The project is coordinated by the Southeastern New York Library Resources Council. SENYLRC's mission is to support its members in the Mid-Hudson Valley in enriching their services and enhancing access to information for their users.

Athens, Greece
This based on tunic 113 from burda issue 6/2009. When I decided to make this I had used this pattern many times and I wanted to do something a little different. So I skipped the drapped pieces and put a small band at the center front to gather it slightly and create a "sweetheart" neckline. I also added wide straps gathered at the connection points. It's a favorite burda pattern, which I have also used for the tunic of this post and the dress of this post
Thanks for looking! Kisses!

GAO: HIX Unready by October?
In a June 6 letter responding to the GAO concerns, Jim R. Esquea, assistant secretary for legislation for the Department of Health and Human Services, assured the auditors that "on Oct. 1, 2013, a health insurance marketplace will be open and functioning in every state."
CMS is supposed to operate "federally facilitated exchanges" in 34 states that have elected not to run state-based exchanges in 2014. Fifteen of those 34 states are expected to help CMS operate their FFEs in one capacity or another, but GAO says that exact role continues to evolve, even with the open enrollment period looming only four months from now. GAO noted that CMS approved states' exchange arrangements on the condition that the states actually do what they said they were going to do to make the exchanges operational. However, it's not clear how that process is going. If states don't meet their part of the deal, CMS said it would step in and carry out the necessary steps to make the exchanges operational.
"CMS is also depending on the states to implement specific FFE exchange functions, and CMS data show that many state activities remained to be completed and some were behind schedule," GAO said.
GAO says many other provisions that are the responsibility of CMS remain to be completed and some were behind schedule, especially functions related to "core exchange functional areas of eligibility and enrollment, plan management, and consumer assistance."

Top 7 Reasons I'm Buying Silver Now
I remember my first drug high.
No, it wasn't from a shady deal made with a seedy character in a bad part of town. I was in the hospital, recovering from surgery, and while I wasn't in a lot of pain, the nurse suggested something to help me sleep better. I didn't really think I needed it-but within seconds of that needle puncturing my skin, I WAS IN HEAVEN.
The euphoria that struck my brain was indescribable. The fluid coursing through my veins was so powerful I've never forgotten it. I can easily see why people get hooked on drugs.
And that's why I think silver, purchased at current prices, could be a life-changing investment.
The connection? Well, it's not the metal's ever-increasing number of industrial uses… or exploding photovoltaic (solar) demand… nor even that the 2014 supply is projected to be stagnant and only reach 2010's level. No, the connection is…Financial Heroin
The drugs of choice for governments-money printing, deficit spending, and nonstop debt increases-have proved too addictive for world leaders to break their habits. At this point, the US and other governments around the world have toked, snorted, and mainlined their way into an addictive corner; they are completely hooked. The Fed and their international central-bank peers are the drug pushers, providing the easy money to keep the high going. And despite the Fed's latest taper of bond purchases, past actions will not be consequence-free.
At first, drug-induced highs feel euphoric, but eventually the body breaks down from the abuse. Similarly, artificial stimuli and sub-rosa manipulations by central banks have delivered their special effects-but addiction always leads to a systemic breakdown.
When government financial heroin addicts are finally forced into cold-turkey withdrawal, the ensuing crisis will spark a rush into precious metals. The situation will be exacerbated when assets perceived as "safe" today-like bonds and the almighty greenback-enter bear markets or crash entirely.
As a result, the rise in silver prices from current levels won't be 10% or 20%-but a double, triple, or more.
If inflation picks up steam, $100 silver is not a fantasy but a distinct possibility. Gold will benefit, too, of course, but due to silver's higher volatility, we expect it will hand us a higher percentage return, just as it has many times in the past.
Eventually, all markets correct excesses. The global economy is near a tipping point, and we must prepare our portfolios now, ahead of that chaos, which includes owning a meaningful amount of physical silver along with our gold.
It's time to build for a big payday.Why I'm Excited About Silver
When considering the catalysts for silver, let's first ignore short-term factors such as net short/long positions, fluctuations in weekly ETF holdings, or the latest open interest. Data like these fluctuate regularly and rarely have long-term bearing on the price of silver.
I'm more interested in the big-picture forces that could impact silver over the next several years. The most significant force, of course, is what I stated above: governments' abuse of "financial heroin" that will inevitably lead to a currency crisis in many countries around the world, pushing silver and gold to record levels.
At no time in history have governments printed this much money.
And not one currency in the world is anchored to gold or any other tangible standard. This unprecedented setup means that whatever fallout results, it will be of historic proportions and affect each of us personally.
Specific to silver itself, here are the data that tell me "something big this way comes"…
1. Inflation-Adjusted Price Has a Long Way to Go
One hint of silver's potential is its inflation-adjusted price. I asked John Williams of Shadow Stats to calculate the silver price in June 2014 dollars (July data is not yet available).
Shown below is the silver price adjusted for both the CPI-U, as calculated by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and the price adjusted using ShadowStats data based on the CPI-U formula from 1980 (the formula has since been adjusted multiple times to keep the inflation number as low as possible).
The $48 peak in April 2011 was less than half the inflation-adjusted price of January 1980, based on the current CPI-U calculation. If we use the 1980 formula to measure inflation, silver would need to top $470 to beat that peak.
I'm not counting on silver going that high (at least I hope not, because I think there will be literal blood in the streets if it does), but clearly, the odds are skewed to the upside-and there's a lot of room to run.
2. Silver Price vs. Production Costs
Producers have been forced to reduce costs in light of last year's crash in the silver price. Some have done a better job at this than others, but check out how margins have narrowed.
Relative to the cost of production, the silver price is at its lowest level since 2005. Keep in mind that cash costs are only a portion of all-in expenses, and the silver price has historically traded well above this figure (all-in costs are just now being widely reported). That margins have tightened so dramatically is not sustainable on a long-term basis without affecting the industry. It also makes it likely that prices have bottomed, since producers can only cut expenses so much.
Although roughly 75% of silver is produced as a by-product, prices are determined at the margin; if a mine can't operate profitably or a new project won't earn a profit at low prices, the resulting drop in output would serve as a catalyst for higher prices. Further, much of the current cost-cutting has come from reduced exploration budgets, which will curtail future supply.
3. Low Inventories
Various entities hold inventories of silver bullion, and these levels were high when US coinage contained silver. As all US coins intended for circulation have been minted from base metals for decades, the need for high inventories is thus lower today. But this chart shows how little is available.
You can see how low current inventories are on a historical basis, most of which are held in exchange-traded products. This is important because these investors have been net buyers since 2005 and thus have kept that metal off the market. The remaining amount of inventory is 241 million ounces, only 25% of one year's supply-whereas in 1990 it represented roughly eight times supply. If demand were to suddenly surge, those needs could not be met by existing inventories. In fact, ETP investors would likely take more metal off the market. (The "implied unreported stocks" refers to private and other unreported depositories around the world, another strikingly smaller number.)
If investment demand were to repeat the surge it saw from 2005 to 2009, this would leave little room for error on the supply side.
4. Conclusion of the Bear Market
This updated snapshot of six decades of bear markets signals that ours is near exhaustion. The black line represents silver's decline from April 2011 through August 8, 2014.
The historical record suggests that buying silver now is a low-risk investment.
5. Cheap Compared to Other Commodities
Here's how the silver price compares to other precious metals, along with the most common base metals.
Percent Change From… 1 Year Ago 5 Years Ago 10 Years
Gold -2% 38% 234% -31% Silver -6% 35% 239% -60% Platinum 3% 20% 83% -35% Palladium 14% 252% 238% -21% Copper -4% 37% 146% -32% Nickel 32% 26% 17% -64% Zinc 26% 49% 128% -47%
Only nickel is further away from its all-time high than silver.
6. Low Mainstream Participation
Another indicator of silver's potential is how much it represents of global financial wealth, compared to its percentage when silver hit $50 in 1980.
In spite of ongoing strong demand for physical metal, silver currently represents only 0.01% of the world's financial wealth. This is one-twenty-fifth its 1980 level. Even that big price spike we saw in 2011 pales in comparison.
There's an enormous amount of room for silver to become a greater part of mainstream investment portfolios.
7. Watch Out for China!
It's not just gold that is moving from West to East…
Don't look now, but the SHFE has overtaken the Comex and become the world's largest futures silver exchange. In fact, the SHFE accounted for 48.6% of all volume last year. The Comex, meanwhile, is in sharp decline, falling from 93.4% market share as recently as 2001 to less than half that amount today.
And all that trading has led to a sharp decrease in silver inventories at the exchange. While most silver (and gold) contracts are settled in cash at the COMEX, the majority of contracts on the Shanghai exchanges are settled in physical metal. Which has led to a huge drain of silver stocks…
Since January 2013, silver inventories at the Shanghai Futures Exchange have fallen a remarkable 84% to a record low 148 tonnes. If this trend continues, the Chinese exchanges will experience a serious supply crunch in the not-too-distant future.
There's more…
- Domestic silver supply in China is expected to hit an all-time high and exceed 250 million ounces this year (between mine production, imports, and scrap). By comparison, it was less than 70 million ounces in 2000. However, virtually none of this is exported and is thus unavailable to the world market.
- Chinese investors are estimated to have purchased 22 million ounces of silver in 2013, the second-largest amount behind India. It was zero in 1999.
- The biggest percentage growth in silver applications comes from China. Photography, jewelry, silverware, electronics, batteries, solar panels, brazing alloys, and biocides uses are all growing at a faster clip in China than any other country in the world.
These are my top reasons for buying silver now.
Based on this review of big-picture data, what conclusion would you draw? If you're like me, you're forced to acknowledge that the next few years could be a very exciting time for silver investors.
Just like gold, our stash of silver will help us maintain our standard of living-but may be even more practical to use for small purchases. And in a high-inflation/decaying-dollar scenario, the silver price is likely to exceed consumer price inflation, giving us further purchasing power protection.
The bottom line is that the current silver price should be seen as a long-term buying opportunity. This may or may not be our last chance to buy at these levels for this cycle, but if you like bargains, silver's neon "Sale!" sign is flashing like a disco ball.
What am I buying? The silver bullion that's offered at a discount in the current issue of BIG GOLD. You can even earn a free ounce of silver at another recommended dealer by signing up for their auto accumulation program, an easy way to build your portfolio while prices are low. Check out the low-cost, no-risk BIG GOLD to capitalize on this opportune time in silver.

The Single Most Important Strategy Most Investors Ignore
"If I scare you this morning, and as a result you take action, then I will have accomplished my goal." That's what I told the audience at the Sprott Natural Resource Symposium in Vancouver two weeks ago.
But the reality is that I didn't need to try to scare anyone. The evidence is overwhelming and has already alarmed most investors; our greatest risk is not a bad investment but our political exposure.
And yet most of these same investors do not see any need to stash bullion outside their home countries. They view international diversification as an extreme move. Many don't even care if capital controls are instituted.
I'm convinced that this is the most common-and important-strategic investment error made today. So let me share a few key points from my Sprott presentation and let you decide for yourself if you need to reconsider your own strategy. (Bolding for emphasis is mine.)
1: IMF Endorses Capital Controls
Bloomberg reported in December 2012 that the "IMF has endorsed the use of capital controls in certain circumstances."
This is particularly important because the IMF, arguably an even more prominent institution since the global financial crisis started, has always had an official stance against capital controls. "In a reversal of its historic support for unrestricted flows of money across borders, the IMF said controls can be useful..."
Will individual governments jump on this bandwagon? "It will be tacitly endorsed by a lot of central banks," says Boston University professor Kevin Gallagher. If so, it could be more than just your home government that will clamp down on storing assets elsewhere.
2: There Is Academic Support for Capital Controls
Many mainstream economists support capital controls. For example, famed Harvard Economists Carmen Reinhart and Ken Rogoff wrote the following earlier this year:
Governments should consider taking a more eclectic range of economic measures than have been the norm over the past generation or two. The policies put in place so far, such as budgetary austerity, are little match for the size of the problem, and may make things worse. Instead, governments should take stronger action, much as rich economies did in past crises.
Aside from the dangerously foolish idea that reining in excessive government spending is a bad thing, Reinhart and Rogoff are saying that even more massive government intervention should be pursued. This opens the door to all kinds of dubious actions on the part of politicians, including-to my point today-capital controls.
"Ms. Reinhart and Mr. Rogoff suggest debt write-downs and 'financial repression', meaning the use of a combination of moderate inflation and constraints on the flow of capital to reduce debt burdens."
The Reinhart and Rogoff report basically signals to politicians that it's not only acceptable but desirable to reduce their debts by restricting the flow of capital across borders. Such action would keep funds locked inside countries where said politicians can plunder them as they see fit.
3: Confiscation of Savings on the Rise
"So, what's the big deal?" Some might think. "I live here, work here, shop here, spend here, and invest here. I don't really need funds outside my country anyway!"
Well, it's self-evident that putting all of one's eggs in any single basket, no matter how safe and sound that basket may seem, is risky-extremely risky in today's financial climate.
In addition, when it comes to capital controls, storing a little gold outside one's home jurisdiction can help avoid one major calamity, a danger that is growing virtually everywhere in the world: the outright confiscation of people's savings.
The IMF, in a report entitled "Taxing Times," published in October of 2013, on page 49, states:
"The sharp deterioration of the public finances in many countries has revived interest in a capital levy-a one-off tax on private wealth-as an exceptional measure to restore debt sustainability."
The problem is debt. And now countries with higher debt levels are seeking to justify a tax on the wealth of private citizens.
So, to skeptics regarding the value of international diversification, I would ask: Does the country you live in have a lot of debt? Is it unsustainable?
If debt levels are dangerously high, the IMF says your politicians could repay it by taking some of your wealth.
The following quote sent shivers down my spine…
The appeal is that such a task, if implemented before avoidance is possible and there is a belief that is will never be repeated, does not distort behavior, and may be seen by some as fair. The conditions for success are strong, but also need to be weighed against the risks of the alternatives, which include repudiating public debt or inflating it away.
The IMF has made it clear that invoking a levy on your assets would have to be done before you have time to make other arrangements. There will be no advance notice. It will be fast, cold, and cruel.
Notice also that one option is to simply inflate debt away. Given the amount of indebtedness in much of the world, inflation will certainly be part of the "solution," with or without outright confiscation of your savings. (So make sure you own enough gold, and avoid government bonds like the plague.)
Further, the IMF has already studied how much the tax would have to be:
The tax rates needed to bring down public debt to pre-crisis levels are sizable: reducing debt ratios to 2007 levels would require, for a sample of 15 euro area countries, a tax rate of about 10% on households with a positive net worth.
Note that the criterion is not billionaire status, nor millionaire, nor even "comfortably well off." The tax would apply to anyone with a positive net worth. And the 10% wealth-grab would, of course, be on top of regular income taxes, sales taxes, property taxes, etc.
4: We Like Pension Funds
Unfortunately, it's not just savings. Carmen Reinhart (again) and M. Belén Sbrancia made the following suggestions in a 2011 paper:
Historically, periods of high indebtedness have been associated with a rising incidence of default or restructuring of public and private debts. A subtle type of debt restructuring takes the form of 'financial repression.' Financial repression includes directed lending to government by captive domestic audiences (such as pension funds), explicit or implicit caps on interest rates, regulation of cross-border capital movements, and (generally) a tighter connection between government and banks.
Yes, your retirement account is now a "captive domestic audience." Are you ready to "lend" it to the government? "Directed" means "compulsory" in the above statement, and you may not have a choice if "regulation of cross-border capital movements"-capital controls-are instituted.
5: The Eurozone Sanctions Money-Grabs
Germany's Bundesbank weighed in on this subject last January:
"Countries about to go bankrupt should draw on the private wealth of their citizens through a one-off capital levy before asking other states for help."
The context here is that of Germans not wanting to have to pay for the mistakes of Italians, Greeks, Cypriots, or whatnot. Fair enough, but the "capital levy" prescription is still a confiscation of funds from individuals' banks or brokerage accounts.
Here's another statement that sent shivers down my spine:
A capital levy corresponds to the principle of national responsibility, according to which tax payers are responsible for their government's obligations before solidarity of other states is required.
The central bank of the strongest economy in the European Union has explicitly stated that you are responsible for your country's fiscal obligations-and would be even if you voted against them! No matter how financially reckless politicians have been, it is your duty to meet your country's financial needs.
This view effectively nullifies all objections. It's a clear warning.
And it's not just the Germans. On February 12, 2014, Reuters reported on an EU commission document that states:
The savings of the European Union's 500 million citizens could be used to fund long-term investments to boost the economy and help plug the gap left by banks since the financial crisis.
Reuters reported that the Commission plans to request a draft law, "to mobilize more personal pension savings for long-term financing."
EU officials are explicitly telling us that the pensions and savings of its citizens are fair game to meet the union's financial needs. If you live in Europe, the writing is on the wall.
Actually, it's already under way… Reuters recently reported that Spain has
…introduced a blanket taxation rate of .03% on all bank account deposits, in a move aimed at… generating revenues for the country's cash-strapped autonomous communities.
The regulation, which could bring around 400 million euros ($546 million) to the state coffers based on total deposits worth 1.4 trillion euros, had been tipped as a possible sweetener for the regions days after tough deficit limits for this year and next were set by the central government.
Some may counter that since Spain has relatively low tax rates and the bail-in rate is small, this development is no big deal. I disagree: it establishes the principle, sets the precedent, and opens the door for other countries to pursue similar policies.
6: Canada Jumps on the Confiscation Bandwagon
You may recall this text from last year's budget in Canada:
"The Government proposes to implement a bail-in regime for systemically important banks."
A bail-in is what they call it when a government takes depositors' money to plug a bank's financial holes-just as was done in Cyprus last year.
This regime will be designed to ensure that, in the unlikely event a systemically important bank depletes its capital, the bank can be recapitalized and returned to viability through the very rapid conversion of certain bank liabilities into regulatory capital.
What's a "bank liability"? Your deposits. How quickly could they do such a thing? They just told us: fast enough that you won't have time to react.
By the way, the Canadian bail-in was approved on a national level just one week after the final decision was made for the Cyprus bail-in.
Have you considered why the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act was passed into law? It was supposed to crack down on tax evaders and collect unpaid tax revenue. However, it's estimated that it will only generate $8.7 billion over 10 years, which equates to 0.18% of the current budget deficit. And that's based on rosy government projections.
FATCA was snuck into the HIRE Act of 2010, with little notice or discussion. Since the law will raise negligible revenue, I think something else must be going on here. If you ask me, it's about control.
In my opinion, the goal of FATCA is to keep US savers trapped in US banks and in the US dollar, in case the US wants to implement a Cyprus-like bail-in. Given the debt load in the US and given statements made by government officials, this seems like a reasonable conclusion to draw.
This is why I think that the institution of capital controls is a "when" question, not an "if" one. The momentum is clearly gaining steam for some form of capital controls being instituted in the near future. If you don't internationalize, you must accept the risk that your assets will be confiscated, taxed, regulated, and/or inflated away.What to Expect Going Forward
- First, any announcement will probably not use the words "capital controls." It will be couched positively, for the "greater good," and words like "patriotic duty" will likely feature prominently in mainstream press and government press releases. If you try to transfer assets outside your country, you could be branded as a traitor or an enemy of the state, even among some in your own social circles.
- Controls will likely occur suddenly and with no warning. When did Cyprus implement their bail-in scheme? On a Friday night after banks were closed. By the way, prior to the bail-in, citizens were told the Cypriot banks had "government guarantees" and were "well-regulated." Those assurances were nothing but a cruel joke when lightning-fast confiscation was enacted.
- Restrictions could last a long time. While many capital controls have been lifted in Cyprus, money transfers outside the country still require approval from the Central Bank-over a year after the bail-in.
- They'll probably be retroactive. Actually, remove the word "probably." Plenty of laws in response to prior financial crises have been enacted retroactively. Any new fiscal or monetary emergency would provide easy justification to do so again. If capital controls or savings confiscations were instituted later this year, for example, they would likely be retroactive to January 1. For those who have not yet taken action, it could already be too late.
- Social environment will be chaotic. If capital controls are instituted, it will be because we're in some kind of economic crisis, which implies the social atmosphere will be rocky and perhaps even dangerous. We shouldn't be surprised to see riots, as there would be great uncertainty and fear. That's dangerous in its own right, but it's also not the kind of environment in which to begin making arrangements.
- Ban vs. levy. Imposing capital controls is a risky move for a government to make; even the most reckless politicians understand this. That won't stop them, but it could make them act more subtly. For instance, they might not impose actual bans on moving money across borders, but instead place a levy on doing so. Say, a 50% levy? That would "encourage" funds to remain inside a given country. Why not 100%? You could be permitted to transfer $10,000 outside the country-but if the fee for doing so is $10,000, few will do it. Such verbal games allow politicians to claim they have not enacted capital controls and yet achieve the same effect. There are plenty of historical examples of countries doing this very thing.
Keep in mind: Who will you complain to? If the government takes a portion of your assets, legally, who will you sue? You will have no recourse. And don't expect anyone below your tax bracket to feel sorry for you.
No, once the door is closed, your wealth is trapped inside your country. It cannot move, escape, or flee. Capital controls allow politicians to do anything to your wealth they deem necessary.

The Only PGM Stock You Should Buy
It's quite the dilemma.
One of the major reasons my colleagues and I are so bullish on platinum group metals (NYSEARCA:PGM)-palladium, in particular-is because of the intractable problems with supply. But most of the producers are backed into corners, with few options for improving their outlook. There's simply no way for these metals to avoid a long-term production deficit due to the deep-seated problems with the companies that produce them.
So, how to invest?
Since we're talking about profiting from a metals bull market, we could just buy bullion-and we have indeed recommended doing so to our readers. But to really maximize your leverage to the upside (and avoid more risky futures and options), a stock in a company that produces the metal is normally the way to go. Unfortunately, as above, the pickings are slim.
For us to invest in a PGM producer, the company would have to be:
- Outside of South Africa and Russia. The problems with miners in both countries are numerous and difficult.
- Making money. Many producers are not profitable at current prices because production costs are so high. And they won't come down just because the strikes ended-they'll go up, due to higher wages.
- Have a strong growth profile. We want a company that can capitalize on burgeoning demand, which would add further leverage to our investment.
- Have strong management (of course!). The last thing we want is a team with no experience navigating a volatile market such as this.
Does such a stock exist?
It's a tall order, but the answer is yes. The company we recommend in this area meets all the criteria above-and is the safest speculation in this space. We consider it so safe, in fact, that we just "graduated" it from the International Speculator to BIG GOLD.How's This for Leverage?
This profitable mid-tier producer is perfectly positioned: it's not so small that we're purely speculating on some uncertain game-changing event, and yet it's small enough to generate much larger share price gains than would be possible for one of the major mining companies. On the other hand, it's big enough to catch the attention of mainstream investors.
Here are seven reasons why we're excited about this company and the leverage we think we'll get by owning shares…
#1: Large, High-Grade Assets
The company has two distinct but closely related mine sites. These alone will support the company's growth for many years. However, only nine miles of an estimated 28 miles of known mineralization has been developed between them-essentially one-third of one giant mineralized structure. Management thinks it has an additional 102 million tonnes of undeveloped resources waiting to be dug up.
And get this: the average grade of their proven and probable reserves is 0.45 ounces per tonne, the world's highest-grade PGM deposit. Of these, 78% is palladium, a very attractive figure since we're even more bullish on it than platinum.
At the right metals prices, this company could double or triple production and still maintain a very long mine life.
#2: Growing Production and Low Costs
The company grew 2013 production by 10,000 ounces, but has yet to use all its milling capacity. It currently uses about 3,600 tonnes per day (tpd) of its 6,000 tpd total capacity. The company is working to increase ore production this year, which is good timing for us.
With a much cleaner balance sheet and a forecast of $800-$850 per ounce for all-in sustaining costs (AISC) in 2014, the company looks poised to make money in the current price environment-and a lot of money in the supply squeeze we anticipate.
#3: Recycling Business
In addition to mining, this company recycles depleted catalyst materials to recover palladium, platinum, and rhodium at its smelter and base metal refinery. It's been doing this since 1997, and business is booming. Pre-tax earnings last year rose a whopping 233% over 2012. And management says it will expand this end of their business over the next few years.
#4: Strong Financial Performance
This company reported over a billion dollars of revenue last year, up nearly 30% from 2012. It finished the year with a very strong working capital position of almost a half billion dollars.
#5: Unique North American Operations
The company is one of only a few PGM producers in North America. Nearly all other PGM mines operate in South Africa (Impala, Amplats, Lonmin, etc.) or Russia (Norilsk). Therefore, this company is more stable than most that mine in other jurisdictions.
#6: Upgraded Management
A prior management team made a poor investment in Argentina a few years back, which led to major changes in the board of directors and top management last year. The new president and CEO is a 21-year industry veteran and has experience in both M&A and mine optimization. He's already corrected past mistakes, and we're happy with the direction he's taken the company. The technical people on the ground seem competent and are getting admirable results.
And finally…
#7: We've Been There!
Our Chief Metals Investment Strategist Louis James, who conducted a due-diligence trip to the company's operations last year, says:
I liked the story when I visited and considered it to be the company to buy in a safe mining jurisdiction. But I didn't want to bet on the team in place at the time. Flash forward and now it's under new management, which is very focused on cutting costs and expanding the core business. The company's results for 2013 were quite impressive, and I expect them to get better going forward.
I'm convinced this company is uniquely positioned to benefit from potential supply shortages. Coupled with a likely rise in demand from the global auto industry in the years ahead, this stock is a very attractive play.
Here's a picture from his visit.
Pay dirt: this is what the company's palladium-platinum mineralization looks like before blasting. You can see the closely spaced holes that will be blasted a fraction of a second before the surrounding ones-in successive waves-so the ore is blasted inward. This high-grade resource in a safe and stable jurisdiction is the heart of our speculation.The Only Stock to Buy, in a Market Backed into a Corner
Johnson Matthey, the world's leading authority on PGMs, estimates the platinum market will register a deficit of at least 1.2 million ounces this year. This would be the largest shortfall since it first compiled data in 1975.
While it will take an enormous amount of time and expense to recover from the strikes in South Africa, that's only the first layer of problems for the industry:
- According to consultancy GFMS, 300,000 ounces of platinum and 165,000 ounces of palladium could be lost after the strikes end, as it will take time and money to ramp up to full capacity-if that's even possible since some mines have been damaged. The Implats CEO said it will take his company at least three months to return to full production, and they've already put the development of three new replacement shafts in the Rustenburg area on hold. Anglo American announced just last week that it plans to sell its platinum operations.
- Holdings of physically backed palladium ETFs continue to hit record highs. In less than two months, a half million ounces were added to ETFs. Fund holdings will likely continue to climb and push the palladium market further into deficit.
- The Russian government has been reportedly buying palladium from local producers, since it appears its stockpiles are near exhaustion. Exports ticked higher last month, but that was likely in anticipation of potential sanctions.
- Some recyclers announced they are holding back on sales, as they believe prices will move higher.
- Platinum demand in India is expected to grow 35% this year.
- Reports have surfaced that tout replacements to platinum and/or palladium. However, these are mostly research projects and are at least two to three years away from commercial viability (some will never make it).
- Auto sales in the US, China, and Europe, the three biggest regions by consumption, were up 12% through May over 2013.
- Existing stockpiles of these metals have dwindled. Based on prior estimates from Citigroup, only nine weeks of palladium and 22 weeks of platinum supplies remain-and half of those are in Russia. Standard Bank projects that stockpiled material from South African producers will run out in a month or less.
The key point is that platinum and palladium supply is in a structural deficit. Prices will pull back now that the strikes have ended-and that is your opportunity. The bull market in these metals is really just getting underway.
And we have the primo pick in the space. The shares of this stock would have to climb 50% just to match its 2011 highs-and that's without the platinum/palladium supply crunch we're speculating on.
As you've surmised by now, I can't give away the name of this stock in fairness to paid subscribers. But you can get it by giving BIG GOLD a risk-free try.

Nvidia rolls out 'tri-SLI'
Nvidia has launched its anticipated 'Tri-SLI' technology as "3-way SLI", allowing gamers to connect not one, not two but three graphics cards in co-operative rendering harmony. They have to be Nvidia GeForce cards, natch, but when connected deliver up to 2.8 times the performance of a single GPU. That, the company claimed, is …
Seriously, why. get a girlfrield, discover sex, 3 graphics cards to play games, you're funny!!! LOL
CrossFireX Makes a lot more sense
I don't have the money to shell out thousands of dollars to buy into this scam and I dont think many do! I bought a 3870 for around $200. I can upgrade in the future to two, three, or four card when I have the money. I was an Nvidia fanboy, but I don't like to be soaked for money. Tri SLI isn't supported on the 8800GT or 8800GTS. Bad call Nvidia!
Being sick of paying through the nose for "necessary" hardware upgrades I have sided with the PS3. I havn't looked back. This is complete tomfoolery. Game prettiness "so what!" realistic physics "gimme gimme!"
Looks like 3 times the trouble to me!

staff are friendly, the place is really nice.
Convenient location. Nice large room and bathroom. Good breakfast, easy parking
Noisy restaurant in evening Wifi was not working
Comfortable room Friendly staff Great breakfast
On the day we arrived we were informed of a wedding taking place at the hotel. The music was super loud until after 4 in the morning. Not fair for paying clients!
The fact it is near three supermarkets
The room lacks normal facilities like kettle and iron. The fridge is not working as good as it should be and left the drinks warm. Cleaning staff would wake in the room without warning if you forget to put the sign on the door. The internet is poor.
The decor was nice
We had a very dirty bathroom only one small duvet for a. Double bed stayed 4 nights and the sheets were never changed we were quite disappointed as we were all looking forward to staying here
Design of the hotel
Not being advisede of the limited dining options on the night of my stay
Sehr sehr freundliches Personal
Everything very clean comfortable hotel with excellent restaurant
Great deal. Very clean. Great location for driving and public transportation. Very friendly. Good breakfast. People object to it being near a factory but I found it presented no problems and was pretty interesting actually. It is near one of the best hidden gems of a restaurant Jaegenlust.
The room was very spacious and the wet room/shower room was huge with a great shower. Breakfast was really good and they provided a selection of gluten free bread on request. Don't be put off by the approach to the hotel which makes you think that you are going to be staying in the middle of an industrial estate - it is much nicer when you get into the central area. The mini bar in the room was great for keeping our own drinks in.
Nothing that we really disliked. The food choice in the restaurant was limited but tasty. A full length mirror in the room would be good.
Big bathroom Excellent breakfast Beautiful gardens
Noise of the lift
The staff were very helpful - the room was very clean. The breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice.
The lift noise was a little too much.
We travel with our medium sized dog so we appreciate all of the conveniently located green space. Relaxing in the beautiful spa will have me returning sooner rather than later.
Meals with enough variety were not easy to get when wanted. International travelers may eat at odd times while they adjust to the time difference and wish for more than a sandwich.
Good value, available on short notice.
An excellent place o stay for resonable price with free internet and very frindly staff. Very clean, no dirty carpets you would see in many much higher priced hotels.
There was a cigarette butt on the balcony sill left there by previous client.

Transportation, Law Enforcement Agencies Announce Preparations, Driving Reminders for Upcoming Winter
Drivers Urged to Slow Down, Buckle Up, Put Down Handheld Devices
CHICAGO –With colder weather rapidly approaching and winter right around the corner, the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT), the Illinois Tollway and the Illinois State Police (ISP) today announced that they are fully prepared for the upcoming snow-and-ice season and once again reminded motorists that when there is "Ice and Snow, Take it Slow." Throughout the state, salt domes are being restocked following last year's historic winter and snow plows and emergency equipment are ready to be pressed into action during the coming months.
"The Illinois Department of Transportation spends the whole year preparing for this critical time of year on all roads and highways. We take great pride in our snow-and-ice response and commitment to safety," said Acting Illinois Transportation Secretary Erica Borggren. "While our top priority is to make sure our roadways are safe as possible, we do ask the motoring public to do its part as well. That means staying off your handheld devices, always wearing a seatbelt and allowing for extra time in all of your travels this winter."
For the upcoming winter, 1,768 trucks statewide will be available for deployment by IDOT crews to keep about 16,000 miles of state routes – the equivalent of driving from Chicago to Miami almost 12 times – clear and passable. Last year, IDOT spent $131.4 million on snow removal and spread almost 800,000 tons of salt statewide. This winter, IDOT will have access to more than 1 million tons of salt if needed.
For years, ISP, Tollway and IDOT have worked together to urge motorists to drive defensively and safely in winter weather.
"An alert and prepared driver is a safe driver," said ISP Director Hiram Grau. "Winter driving conditions can be hazardous and life threatening for motorists and first responders if the necessary road safety precautions are not taken."
The Illinois Tollway has increased its fleet to 185 snowplows and has restocked its salt supplies so it has more than 83,000 tons available to keep its 286-mile system open and operating for the 1.4 million drivers who use the Tollway daily.
"Whenever the snow falls, we will be working around-the-clock to keep our roadways clear for customers who depend on us to safely reach their destinations," said Illinois Tollway Executive Director Kristi Lafleur. "Drivers can help by taking a few simple precautions, including slowing down, leaving a larger space between vehicles and giving our snowplows enough room to do their work."
The state's "Ice and Snow, Take it Slow" annual campaign urges all motorists to slow down, build extra time in their schedules for travel during the winter months, increase the driving distance between vehicles and strongly consider refraining from travel during winter weather events. Other safety tips to remember:
Illinois Department of Public Health
Issues Ebola Safety Guidance
CHICAGO – Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) Director Dr. LaMar Hasbrouck today provided further guidance on Illinois' Ebola safety guidelines, including mandatory home quarantines for individuals who have a high-risk of exposure to the virus.
"The Ebola safety guidance IDPH issued on Friday was designed to ensure that the public is protected without discouraging our health care workers from volunteering to fight this virus at its source," Dr. Hasbrouck said. "These guidelines ensure that we appropriately address the risks posed by workers who have been directly exposed to the Ebola virus without the necessary protective gear or procedures. These individuals have a higher probability of becoming ill and a home quarantine is the most responsible way in which to manage this situation."
The guidance on Friday was issued in light of the need for direction to local health departments about following up on passenger returning from Sierra Leone, Guinea and Liberia. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) plans to issue guidance on this topic soon.
The IDPH guidance calls for a 21-day home quarantine for any returning traveler who has had high-risk exposures to Ebola.
High-risk in this context refers to anyone who:
Had unprotected (percutaneous or mucous membrane) contact with infectious blood or body fluids of an Ebola patient.
Made direct skin contact with blood or body fluids of an Ebola patient without appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).
Processed blood or body fluids of an Ebola patient without appropriate equipment or standard biosafety precautions.
Made direct contact with the dead body of an Ebola patient without appropriate PPE.
Lived with or shared a household with an Ebola patient in an outbreak affected country.
For individuals who meet any of the high-risk criteria, a formal home quarantine order will be issued. This will ensure that the movements of all those who are potentially at high risk of developing Ebola are limited. These individuals can stay at home for the 21-day duration of the Ebola virus's incubation period.
Our Friday, October 24 guidance places health care workers returning from outbreak-affected areas and who used appropriate PPE with no known infection control breach in a "low risk" category, and specifically recommends "no quarantine, no travel restrictions and verified self monitoring." (Verified self-monitoring means checking and reporting one's temperature and other potential symptoms twice daily and reporting to local public health, by phone or other means.)
IDPH's guidance from Friday, October 24 is available at HYPERLINK "http://www.ebola.illinois.gov" www.ebola.illinois.gov and includes a chart summarizing tiers of risk, airport procedures and local health department monitoring activities.
"It is critical that measures pertaining to returning travelers are rational and science-based," Dr. Hasbrouck said. "We will not stigmatize health care workers, subject health care workers to undue restrictions or impair our ability to fight the epidemic at its source. The only way to reduce the risk of Ebola infections in the U.S. to zero is to extinguish the outbreak in West Africa. We gratefully acknowledge that U.S. health care workers are critical to that effort.
"We deeply respect and support the health care workers, hospitals and local health departments who are working together to address Ebola worldwide. Science-based efforts to protect the public and ensure the safety of health care workers are foremost in our minds as we forge ahead to prepare and manage any future public health challenge in Illinois."
For questions about Ebola, call the hotline at 800-889-3931.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. Zohydro is a hydrocodone based extended release drug. The dose of this pill is higher than Vicodin as patients only have to take it once a day.
Unlike other pain relievers, Zohydro does not have a tamper-resistant mechanism and officials say it's much easier for patient to abuse it.
"What are they doing to prevent abuse on it and at this point they're doing nothing on this and so it's kind of crazy if you think about it did we learn nothing from OxyContins," Deputy Chad Williams.
The makers of Zohydro have plans to create tamper resistant pills in a couple of years but releasing it without that safeguard is a scary thought for some experts.
The CDC reports prescription drug related deaths have more than quadrupled over the last decade.

I have been working at Eaton full-time (more than 3 years)
The pay is good, and not only do they match a percentage of your 401k they also have a separate pension plan they contribute to.
The work load changes often and they are quick to downsize if need be. Half the people there worry about layoffs. Also when you ask management questions you don't often get a straight answer. They just like to tell you what sounds good at the moment, then it could change the very next day.

None of their ethics related rules apply when the perceived culprit is an american and the victim happens to be indian
innovation according to eaton India is "field application engineering" where you put together bunch of existing eaton products. this combo forms a new "innovative product". no encouragement is given for fresh thinking. extremely stable company (read 'static')
