Silver: Ready to Pop or Drop?
Volatility is About to Expand
On several occasions in the past, we've alerted readers to potentially big moves in markets using our Trend-Vol alerts, Precious Metals being the chief focus. Trend-Vol is an early warning system that focuses on several factors to predict movement. Those factors include: historical and implied volatilities, skewness and Bollinger Band width. This momentum indicator warns when volatility is about to increase and directional moves can be large, quick, and profitable, even after the original trigger goes off.
Simply put, and stated here often; volatility breathes. We believe that it is about to exhale soon in the Precious Metals, particularly Silver, but Gold is on the radar as well. What we do not know is in which direction the markets will head…. yet.
A Silver Trend-Vol Retrospective
We can show some historical behavior in Silver when the signal triggers using the chart above.
1. Here Silver gave a mid-day signal that you might have bought and held with a stop at the top band line which also coincided with the 100 SMA. You would have been rewarded with at least $1.50 had you knew where to place trailing protective stops. This even if you only bought the close of the break out day and held for 3 days.
2. This was a quick 2 day trade that had you again bought the close of a very strong day, you'd have had an opportunity to sell $1.00 to $2.00 higher the next day.
3. This is where the CME margin raises just proved to be too much for the market to bear. If you sold the initial day's close despite it being over a $3.00 down day, you'd have still had $5.00 left in the move the next day, and if you were brave with overnight orders, another $3.00+ the next.
To be fair, as in every system, devils lurk in the details. Like, how to determine what an entry point is and what is a fake out; Where to put your initial stop-loss and how to trail-stop winners. These vary depending on the trader's style bankroll and VaR management. This may help:
- Risk 1 to make 2-3 on your trades.
- Use daily low/highs and the Bollinger Band line for trail-stops
- The lowest risk signals come at end of day, midday signals may reverse hard.
- Conversely, waiting for end of day to confirm a signal, often misses a good chunk of the move.
- The best daily alerts often coincide with a 60 minute B-Band widening from a tight position.
Get Ready
Silver and to a lesser extent Gold are poised to move. You can make a case for either direction. Today's action was very constructive for commodities in general. But Gold and Silver were the weak performers.
The charts show bear-flags, but stochs are in the process of reversing. Fact is, we can see what we want based on our own bias. What we are much more confident in is that in the next week, the Precious Metals will have a move of their own.
If you are in the camp that Europe must print money to solve its problems, despite the evidence that Germany is getting its way for now then put on your buying shoes. Ditto if you see Helicopter Ben cranking out more greenbacks in response to a Euro debasing or political pressures from our Keynesian overlords.
If you believe that we are on a deflationary spiral, and that there simply isn't enough money to buy anything at current inflated prices, and there will be no QE3 and that Europe will have enough (levered) money to solve their Grecian woes then get ready to sell Mortimer. Just remember that straddles don't care which way the market goes.
Last week we told people to keep their powder dry. Now it is time to load'em up. We'll update you on a direction when we see it in the markets. – Good Luck.

I've been watching/tracking the inventory of 100oz silver bars at the major dealers for the last couple of weeks:
Don't really care what happens with the paper futures market. The physical market is indicating growing scarcity.
from where, the pro pm websites? the ones that always preface the shortage argument with, "i just finished speaking with a big hong kong bullion dealer who said...."
No. I'm talking about the dealers like tulving, apmex, provident metals, etc. Many of the major dealers disclose inventory information.
so they sold some inventory down and will restock. So what?
Perhaps. Maybe it's just me but watching major dealers report no inventory for weeks at a time seems possibly significant.
I'm long physical silver, but I don't think I'd read all that much into what you're seeing there.
The only indication that I see that they're wanting more inventory is that APMEX is paying a couple of bucks above spot for eagles- but that in and of itself is not screaming "massive shortage" to me.
The way I see it, they've got an interest in not selling out their entire stock when the price is low. It's not like metal goes bad sitting in the vault. But then again, it has been a pretty consistant rumor- for my part, I've been seeing desirable silver get a little more hard to come by (ASEs and pre-65 dollars,) but there is still plenty of oddball metal around- stuff like commemorative coins and smaller pre-65 change.
Shortages may come, but I don't think they're here yet.
I am the president of a precious metals wholesaler of an equal size with Tulving (whose domain name seems to have expired). I can tell you that the massive drop in the silver price caused our order volume to spike up about 500% for about 1 week. Since then, however, order volume has dropped off a cliff... and this has been industry-wide. A great deal of the physically available silver inventory for immediate delivery was consumed during that week-long buying binge in the $28-$31 range. Most mints are a few weeks behind, but the government mints are keeping regular allocations to all distributors, i.e.: US Mint, Royal Canadian Mint, etc. If people weren't so spooked about buying more silver right now, the shortages would be *much* more pronounced. If silver moves more than $2-$3 in either direction I would expect order volumes to spike up significantly once more and this will exascerbate the existing strain on the inventory. Right now we have over 40,000 ounces of US Silver Eagles availabe for immediate shipment for $2.75 over REAL spot on 500 oz. or more. PM me or email me if you want credentials, at cdolson [at| treasureislandcoins [dot| com ... if you want, we're at 701-282-4747.

The retail market tells a story however, I believe that the real physical (true price) story is to be found in the bulk physical market. There are more than a few indications and anecdotes that this market is extremely tight with prices for bulk delivery silver in size substantially above the retail market prices.
These statistics are from the London ponzi silver leasing market, however they provide some information in terms of silver available to hold for a while. A dropping SIFO gives indication of market tightening.
ive used gainesville coins, and the only time there was a temporary shortage was during the mania when silver was at 49. you could call now and get as much as you want...
Gainesville is reporting that they are out of stock on all 100oz silver bars.
Gainesville coins has had my $745.00 dollars for three weeks and are not sending my order until th 31 st. Which means they will have stolen the interest on my money for a month. Fuck gainesville coins
They suck and I will never order from them again.
I have not purchased from Gainesville Coins yet but a few of my friends do and they seem to really like dealing with them. I looked on their site and earlier this month and they did have some stated delays on products so I chose to wait until all items were back in stock. I don't think you can get mad at them though if they stated there would be delays upfront. If you didn't like it, then you shouldn't have purchased. Just my 2 cents
Also with Tulving, I have heard some pretty nasty things about this company. He filed chapter 7 liquidation back in the early 90's. I don't care what his prices are, I wouldn't trust this person! I saw this article the other day and would never purchase from him: http://articles.latimes.com/1991-01-16/business/fi-266_1_coin-dealers
from where, the pro pm websites
no...you go to tulving.com...
@ bernorange
Tulving a couple of weeks (or so) ago advertised they had 500,000 oz of silver in stock. When I checked Saturday, they only advertised 400,000 oz in stock...
Also, one of the coin shops where I buy gold had little inventory (no AGEs).
DoChen, would you mind contacting me via the contact form on pmbug.com? I would like to talk to you about this privately if you don't mind.
Just did! But, I am not an expert on PMs, I follow them closely, but no expert.
Privately is OK.
Thanks. Sent you a response.
I would like to talk to you about this privately
but i wanna hear!
Damn right, when silver was around 25 dollars an ounce I was able to go on E-Bay and buy one ounce silver eagles for 27 dollars a piece and two silver eagles for 52 dollars + shipping. When silver was last 27 dollars or so, silver was upwards of 39 dollars an ounce on E-Bay. For the last couple weeks silver has been around 31 dollars an ounce. Unless you buy 10-100 oz bars or you buy rolls of rounds or coins you are paying a minimum of 37 dollars an ounce once you factor in shipping and handling fees. Even after silver went from 50 an ounce to 34 in just a few short weeks silver prices were still around 40 an ounce for quite some time. So yes, physical silver is scarce.
The supplier (a broker) I've been dealing with for years has a 35 day delay on virtually all silver. They've had delays in the past but nothing approaching 35 days.
As far as the price you are paying.. $37 when spot is around $30? You need to shop around my friend! As we speak my supplier has 100 oz JM bars for $3272 shipped to your door plus a $50 small order fee for orders under 500 ounces. 10 oz bars are almost identical in price. Rounds are a buck or so more.
if it doesn' pop with gold revaluation, then it will pop with inflation next year because i know it cost more than 30 dollars to get it out of the ground
It might go up or it might go down. Absolutely profound!
How much is this guy paid for these insights?
He is at least as smart as dumbo trader...
Neither of them gives a target.. thats a good start.
but to be fair to the article I think we are appraoaching an interesting move.
My (guess), as thats all it is. First the metals get pole-axed as Greece goes down.
then bond's euro bank runs etc, sell everything not bolted down if you have margin out. Panic & riots in the southern EU
Then we head into the total and final "Crack up boom" as the system heads off the cliff, and confidence is finally smashed. (QE = ?)
At this stage it will be "Tangible assets only" or you will be screwed.
But what the heck would I know?
I keep waiting for Dumbo trader to give me some more "Hot stock tips"
I actually enjoyed this post as my thesis is recognized: Euro talks fail; big sell-off on sentiment if not earnings; gold sells off to cover margin calls incurred in this run up; gold bottoms with a sharp move to 1485 or so; turns around on a dime with smart buyers....
Thus the post is useful to me as confirmation of a planned trade.
Thanks Guest Poster.
He said he would let us know when the direction is evident. You can use the info then and make a call one way or the other. Or since this blog is free you can decide not to come to this site at all and make your own mind up. Lets not bite the hand that feeds us.....
Being ahead of not behind the move is what pays. The only useful point of this post is saying there will be great volatility. That's not much news.
"Silver and to a lesser extent Gold are poised to move. You can make a case for either direction."
Now that's reassuring.
1) COT Commercial Net Short percentage lowest since 2003....even lower than when silver was $8.90 in OCT 2008.
2) Largest Commerical Short Position against the Dollar I have seen in years. 59,000 Commercial Shorts compared to 9,000 Commerical Longs
3) Wholesale shortage is taking place when industrial buyers have to wait for delivery after buying at $30 an ounce
4) There is no GLOBAL SURPLUS of Silver....that's pure bunk....and there will be no surplus in 2012 or there after.
5) GFMS stated global slver supply would increase 7.4% to over 790 million oz in 2011 compared to 735 mil oz in 2010. Mexico's silver production was at 60.4 mil JAN-JUN, while last year it hit a total of 128.4. Peru's silver production is down 9% JAN-AUG. BHP Billiton just came out with their Q3 and they are down 25% YOY for the Q3 and down 20% for the first 9 months of 2011. Chile's copper production is down 4.3% in the first 8 months so you can figure their silver is down about the same percentage. Finally, the USA is down 10% JAN-JUL. 2011 will show a DROP not an INCREASE in global silver production
There is a great deal of MISINFORMATION in the media about gold and silver. Without the constant manipulation of gold, silver, oil and US Treasuries, the DOLLAR WOULD BE DEAD.
You could also add the recent passage position limits by the CFTC, ongoing lawsuits against JPM, ongoing investigation by CFTC into Silver manipulation all leaning on the on the side of bullish. Also remember CME Silver margin requirements are higher than years ago with Silver holding ground around $32 per oz which by the way is still up for the year.
The position limits only go into effect for the current month each month, and that doesn't start for 60 days. Anybody can still short to infinity on future months to suppress the current price. They won't be ready to implement position limits for all months until after the dollar is dead and they don't need to suppress the metals. Silver margin requirements still have a long way to go before they reach 100%. This vote is all for show unless Chilton really does speak out.
Good points for why silver should eventually go higher, but it's a manipulated market and it can go lower in the meantime. It probably will only because they are desperate to convince people to stay away from it. At the current rate of depletion there will be no more above ground available silver at current prices within 6 months.
That cute little Canadian reporter was right. Gold isn't backed by anything.. except faith..
Sometimes I wonder what's backed that cute little Canadian reporter. Got a smoke, eh?
and the 'cme'
Rafter's Cliff Notes:
Silver may rise, or fall. Gold, the same.
difficult to read charts when the cme can still raise margins but SI looks like a pennant a la early may...if the pattern repeats then may get a run to 36ish followed by a hike but that game can only go on for so long...still wary about pm sell off that follows equities...be ready to turn on a (silver) dime...devil's metal after all
Unless you think there is something nefarious about oil being up $6 since Thursday - > 7%
silver is useful
it was once used for coins, silverware, photography, etc.. Now it is a useless relic.
silver is useful - all sorts of uses like photgraphic film and paper
ok, ah, gold is very shiny and i like shiny things - there!
i surely do love silver
i surely do love gold
they'll be as they are trusted now
and since the days of old
silver is like, well, doomed.
a bazillian disempowered righteous types bought it up big when it was way over its value - when all of those people suddenly. en mass, decide they've been duped (by themselves and otherrs playing to their foolishness), the price will fall to like $12
nothing is sure
except the foolishness of people
You could be right...I've been thinking along these lines. If/when they physical buyers that bought on the way to 50 dump nearly all at one, price could easily half.
That'll be the time to buy.
I could be wrong (often I am), but it does make sense.
I doubt very much the people that went to the hassle of buying physical will sell. I know I won't. I didn't buy as a trade or investment. I bought because at soem stage in the next 2 years, probably in next 6 months, the whole world of paper is going to burn.
There's 7 billion oz of Au above ground, 1 billion of AG. Every year they mine less Ag than demand, scrap has to make up the difference. Most of the primary silver mines are played out. The USGS says we have a decade or two of silver left. Then what, for all of those high tech industrial applications? Platinum or palladium? Silver will 'run out' long before oil does. That depletion is supposed to buoy the price of oil, but silver's going to crash?
The price is only as low as it is because no one can slug it out with the big boys. The run up to $49 was probably them sitting out for a bit. We know what the sentiment is, and it's driven by a financial picture that deteriorates daily.
Really, well here is one for you, Silver is used in cell phone manufacturing. Did you know that or is that a dying business?
that's all you've got? cell phones? let's see, silver is so rare and useful that they put it in disposable cell phones destined for the landfill? They couldn't make cell phones without a smidge of gold and silver?
Silver and Gold provide the ONLY counterbalance to fiat currency printing gone wild.
Gold is the ultimate store of wealth/value. Silver, as it is also an industrial commodity, isn't taken seriously as a pure bread currency. I own both but can tell you that I'd take gold all day long over silver as the next global currency. Silver is recycled, used in phones, etc. etc.
Gold is king of the hill. And besides, you'd only use gold for your party tooth, right?!
2010 industrial demand was 487 million oz. Most of that is used in amounts too small to recover. Most scrap comes from old coins and antiques, and accounted for 215 million oz in 2010, about 1/5 of total demand.
Quaid... open your mind... silver has over 10,000 industrial applications, second only to oil at roughly 30,000. Above ground available silver is estimated at 300 million ounces by MONEX, the lowest on Earth in the last 700 years, and half as much as we started the year with. Silver's molecular weight causes it to exist primarily at the surface of the Earth's crust and therefore is becoming increasingly difficult and expensive to mine.
Silver is the best conductor of electricity, ever, it is the best thermal conductor, ever, it is the most reflective metal, ever, it cannot be produced except by a red giant going supernova unlike oil which isn't even fully understood as to how it is created, but it is known to have come from organic material and therefore there is a way to replicate it given the proper understanding.
As for why it's wasted in landfills, the price is suppressed, it's not profitable to recover it. Money rules all, and silver is what they manipulate to ensure fiat is what you place your value in. Gold is too large of a market to manipulate, but the tiny $30 billion silver market is a snap.
silver is so rare and useful that they put it in disposable cell phones destined for the landfill?
yes, because "they" are idiots. it is all about profit, you know, nothing else.
every bunkerbuster bomb sends a monster box of silver to silver heaven.
No, Buzzsaw.
That's not all it's good for.
Whatever you like to believe about the fair value, silver is quite a lot more useful that you probably think- it's just used in relatively small amounts, so there isn't a thriving scrap industry for the stuff.
It's the most conductive metal, so it's used for any application where tiny traces with minimal resistance is required. It's used for any appliance, the abovemention cell phones included, to create printed traces for circuit boards that use web switches or require a degree of flexability. They use it by impregnating ink with silver particles, which makes it nearly impossible to recover- and the quantities are miniscule.
Less miniscule are the amounts used in missiles. The low resistance is a must for weapons systems.
It's also antibacterial, which is why it used to be used for flatware and things like tea sets. But that's not the primary value now- silver solder for medical instruments is. Because of the nature of the medical industry, it's extremely valuable for a company to be able to replace worn parts rather than an entire assembly- and that often means soldering the components together. That solder has to be silver, not much else will work properly- and that actually often does use a meaningful amount of silver, which is almost never reclaimed when parts are replaced. This is also the case with things like public water fountains, where the use of silver in the assemblies helps prevent massive viral and bacterial outbreaks.
And, it is the only way that you can make your own anti-viral and anti-bacterial agents at home. Yes, it will turn your skin blue, especially around the eyes and other thin areas, but given a choice between an aqua hue and death- or risking the complications of trying to culture and refine your own antibiotics from a spore print (assuming you can even get one,) that seems like a small price to pay.
That isn't to say that the bottom can't fall out of the price- but it's not quite so useless as you may think.
Flat screens, solar panels, medical, cars, Many uses, in fact 55% of silver each year is used up and gone from production.
PI- the silver is not gone. It is just stored in different form. Photo stuff is recycled all the time.
True, but in most uses it is in a form that is uneconomical to recover, so it is "gone" for all practical purposes.
How long before they start recovering it from the poopy-ponds?
Colloidal Ag and AuShlager, Bitchez!
Buzzsaw, I've been here for a few months, and your avatar and posts have always made me retch like I just drank soured OJ.
You've gone too far this time- why do you post here...wait, I just realized- YOU'RE A FUCKING TROLL! I get it now!
I love the fact that your posts get junked 99% of the time, since you have nothing to contribute to the conversation. How's that job at Goldman Sucks as their new social media specialist working out for ya?
Which in turn is used to "liberate" more of it from their barbaric occupiers..
First come the missiles then come the CATs..
technically, it is a dying business.
Haha. You really have a VERY sarcastic sense of humor don't ya?
If not, silver is no relic. You should try sitting on it sometime after a long hard day at work. Feels mighty nice next to a tight anus.
how the hell would you know what a tight anus feels like?
Your avatar gives us all a good idea of what a loose one looks like!
Too much tequila and acid is bad for you buzz.
Sorry for the bad news bloke.
his avatar suggests that there's a magic button somewhere
all we need is a (traditional, macho, vocab challenged) hero to push it and not only will we all be saved but we'll have a whole new world to rape and pilliage
there is a button - but it's the button that will wipe out 90% of city life - same net result kindof except that gold and silver will indeed become relatively plentiful and cheap
lol!! great exchange!
You mother was asked how did that feel......after giving birth to an ass clown,she soon changed her name to Lucy.
yea, but when your big brother is gold your in pretty good company - eh ?
That's what we will say about the USD pretty soon.
Buzzsaw, I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you're just trying to be contentious, but really, this post is a tired rehash of anti-silver rants from back when digital photography was just starting to take off. Lots of people proclaimed silver "useless" at that time, (when it was under $10/oz), and the their arguments seemed at least plausible.
Now? The useless relic is finding new applications practically every day (e.g. photovoltaics, antibiotics), and price is a multiple of what it was. I hope your trading decisions aren't based on your fact-free opinions.
Too true. The antibiotic properties of silver alone make it more industrially valuable than it was 20 years ago. By 2025 every surface in a hospital, every "sterile" piece of clothing, every medical instrument, etc. will be nano-coated/impregnated with silver, and soon after so will almost all household surfaces.
The effect that such action will have on our already medically over sanitized systems is debatable, but at least in sterile environments it will be useful.
(as an aside, I think the prevalence of auto-immune disorders in kids- asthma, allergies, etc. -is directly correlated with our "over-sanitization" of their environment. Let them eat dirt, and don't give them shots every time they get a cold or cut themselves! Were breeding a culture of wimpy kids!)
silver? You on crack? Silver is amazingly useful and has more industrial usage than it does for all of the rest of those combined.
Buzz must be in a Down Rank contest
these same type of dumb fuk echo chamber circle jerkers were all screaming "BOND CRASH!" right along with Bill Gross last spring. I make money, and I stand by my record. Yeah, I'm a troll, but I will enjoy watching this bunch of self assured smug bugs lose their shirts in the coming months when PMs go into the toilet.
I won't lose anything if PMs go into the toilet. In fact, I'll actually own more!
BTW - But maybe, silver might go into the toilet if it is snuggled up against a tight anus and forgotten for awhile.
Buzz, I can understand your desperation for a little schadenfreude. I mean if you've been bearish on silver and gold the last two years and twelve weeks; IE since you opened your ZH acct. Ouch.
Especially if that is the record (loss) you want to be standing by...
Of course oil is up $6. Iraq is now under sharia law and Hillary Clinton is on a giggling high on Gadaffi's death. The people at the top of US government are behaving as if they are playing some Nintendo war game where they can just halt the outcome by turning off the switch. Their arrogance and manipulation is frightening.
The Middle east is going to get much worse in the very near future.
been hearing that for years. Some time it will happen. When? Who knows. ME has been crazyland forever...
Really? Fill us all in, what are they overpriced in relationship to, the dollar, debt, stocks, or whatever, just fill us in. You must know what you are talking about; no one would make such a comment without some analysis. Waiting!
Why not answer the question rather than stand by your words that are based upon nothing but a guess?
If I told you that I would prefer to hold federal reserve notes instead of gold or silver you would have mocked that statement. Not wanting to endure mindless cackles i prefer to wait and see.
I'm sorry but federal reserve notes do NOT feel good against a tight anus. Trust me.
i have my opinion, you have yours. that you don't consider yours to be a guess while mine is strikes me as arrogant and unseemly.
its not an issue of gold or silver being "overpriced" from charts, technicals, etc--it comes down to whether you believe any and all commodities will get shredded when the world goes through an acute deleveraging. we are heading into a deflationary period like nothing ever witnessed. 30 years plus of credit/debt expansion will implode, and cash is what you will want to hold. pms could go up a bit more as the european/us sovereign crisis heats up, but after that, look out below....
When, when, WHEN, in all of history, has an 'acute deleveraging', a 'deflationary period like nothing we have ever witnessed', EVER been allowed to happen in a fiat currency regime?
The people who hold the reins have more to fear from deflation than inflation. Therefore, they WILL print.
Thank you for your opinion, Karl "Klownshoes" Denninger.
You may now return to your regularly scheduled forum banning.
PS: When the dollar, along with the rest of the world's fiat currencies and the corrupt financial and political systems propping up the fiat fraud, enters its final (and well-deserved) deathswirl in the monetary toilet, I am going to laugh long, and laugh hard, at the wails and agonied gnashing of teeth from all you deflationary flat-earthers, who in the face of ALL monetary and financial history still cling to your naive and clueless faith in central banker omnipotence and to the profoundly ignorant premise that "this time it's different".
The ONE guaranteed outcome of the current financial and monetary chaos and corruption is the significant depreciation of the dollar, and most likely of ALL world fiat currencies --- and you can take that to the bank (and will, after the next "national bank holiday" of course).
Fiat these days, is debt based.
You acknowlege yourself debt & credit are going to implode eventually, yet you advise holding fiat during the implosion expecting this incarnation of it to be worth something on the otherside.
With the stroke of a pen they can make every fiat ticket you hold worthless.
Good luck ;-)
No, of course not --- that is why Argentina never suffered a currency crisis in 2001-2002, and why Zimbabwe is the economic powerhouse of southern Africa with a rock-solid currency that has stood the test of time, and why Weimar Germany is remembered solely for its decadent nightclub scene.
By the way, how's the weather on that flat earth of yours?
buzzsaw is right. no qe3, no ecb expansion, deleveraging will be tsunami like, kiss pms bye bye. i got out of bullion (physical) during the last wave down. only cash (physical) will survive.
these people seem to be all pm newbs. i held gold and silver at one time, sold it all. i wouldn't touch it now. silver and gold have already priced in QE3, oil hasn't.
damn, if you had scrolled just a wee bit more you would have been past this argument altogether. after that you wouldn't see me. or even had you picked a different post, because i don't comment on every thread. you being a fellow joo hater too. alas, my guess is you don't like the message because you maxed out all your CCs buying over-priced silver and gold. go fuck yourself.
Like your commentary usually but 5,000 years of history are wrong as well as every central bank ever and your right cuz, because, well okay.. make your bets.. If cash is / will be king Ben will be the supreme potentate of the universe, sitting on a printing press throne with a large crown of fiat folded up real nice with flourishes..
Probably right, I'll keep some gold and silver around, but this idea that its the most valuable thing around? Whats it really used for anymore?
Talk to someone in Argentina or Zimbabwe about holding nothing but fiat cash.
the paper notes of a bankrupt state do not become more worthful as a result of bankruptcy.
bankrupt is not the end result. massive amounts of digital zeros will disappear. pretend money will be washed away. leaving actual dollars as highly prized.
You guys really beleive helicopter Ben will allow the USA to default?
Every historical precedent says that you are full of shit.
Fiat currencies NEVER gain in value; their values only, ONLY ever move in one direction --- downward ---, whether quickly or more slowly, with a particular tendency (1:1 relationship, in fact) to move radically lower in direct proportion to the indebtedness of the issuing government. Please give me one historical precedent to the contrary.
PS: You can't.
This is the most absurd thing I have ever heard. Seriously.
Digital zeroes can be conjured at a mouse click...and WILL. You idiots were saying the same thing in 2008 and I told your master that they would print. Guess what? They did! They will again!
The debt that backs the FRN is busted, the sovereign guaranteeing it is BANKRUPT. You don't seem to understand that deleveraging and deflation are exactly what preceded the currency collapses of EVERY SINGLE state that's ever gone through one.
Hang onto your paper, by all means. I'm sure it will enjoy the same track record as other paper. There is nothing whatsoever special about a paper FRN versus an eDollar.
People who believe fiat will not turn into toilet paper are still within the Matrix ...
Cmon people time is getting short.
Show us some historical examples of this "miracle paper"
If there IS an example maybe you could trade your FRNs for some?
Actually get me some while yo are at it could you.....
How can the first zero disappear when there are 20 leveraged zeros behind that zero waiting to get paid. ? You keep talking about "de-leverage" nothing is allowed to deleverage hence the bailouts. Deleveraging in itself is a controlled action. When this goes "it gone" !
not gonna happen, that would destroy society. Central banks were, for decades, able to create more and more currency out of thin air via loan origination and hide it's sins behind real economic growth, which accelerated in the 80's and 90's due to computerized automation. When growth stopped the growth of debt didn't and now that's all we can see and they are trying to hide it by monitzation, and I suspect they will, at some point, get desparate in their monitization to keep the ponzi scheme going. Goverments won't be allowed to default on a massive scale! That nominally would wipe out everyone's savings but not wipe out the debts-->> social chaos. At least if you print your way out of it those affected will still feel they have something (albeit paper) and just continue to complain..which is better than mayhem.
time will tell. i stand by my statement.
Can we write that on your tombstone, or do you plan to reside in an urn post-mortem?
Watch out....you might get some on those shiny loafers....
I believe that the price for Gold and Silver will move, bitchez.
you want a job?
I am afraid that working for a living would compromise my ability to make unbiased calls.
who could have known?
If he feels that way about it, he can always get a job on Goldie's sales desk.
Why does it have to be oil? Nat gas has been pummelled and is probably due a rise, especially in Europe if the weather forecasters get it right for once. All the Oil majors are rushing to increase their proven reserves. Where are they going to go? Nat gas?
The price of silver will ither go up or down or stay the same , that is my insight and i know i will be right.
up up up
Gillian Tett is right. Every CB in the world is shorting paper gold....just because it's in vouge.
Anyone believe this s**t?
Silver will be above $45 before November 30, 2011
'Silver will be above $45 before Nov 30 2011'...
OK but what will a $buck be worth?
...and two lines down it says: "The charts arent saying so but we are stating that silver will be above $30 by November 30, 2011."
that statement is already 100% factually correct. this past april is certainly before november 30th :-p.
Given some time you are absolutely right. Short term? My short term price opinions are nearly worthless. But, buying gold and silver for the long term is a great investment and insurance.
Exactly. I really don't think there's many people who would make a call for gold/silver being down from current prices on November 1, 2016.
And if it indeed is down, well, I suspect everything else will be as well and relative purchasing power is maintained. Deflation is hard on everything, but gold has a history of being resilient in deflations as much as inflations.
My short term opinions are useful. DON'T DO IT. The digital trading system used for PM price "discovery" is antithetical to the primary reason that PM's have value in the first place. You can't define a constant by a variable. Sort of like trying to obtain the temperature of boiling water by using a thermometer made out of ice. Good luck with that. Unless you have a crystal ball for the date and time of system collapse, you will not get out in time.
If funds are moved out of the Euro, the fastest, easiest move is to the USD, so bullish USD, which historically has correlated to bearish gold/silver.
Short term, of course.
The mother fucking Central bank cartels will destroy the savers to bail out the banksters. Guaranfuckingteed. The poor son of bitches won't know what hit them, either.
This is sadly the way it's going to play out, the question is when. I'd say it's been playing out for years now, and will continue to. They keep nibbling at savings accounts here and there, and only take big bites when the markets "force" them to.

Thursday, December 20, 2012
© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
Most of us crave the daylight, finding ourselves challenged during these long winter nights. In December and January one hardly arrives home before darkness sets in. There is even a disorder known as seasonal affective disorder to describe the depression that cripples some who experience too much darkness.
This year the winter solstice happens December 21, 2012, at 7:11 a.m., and most of us will be glad for its arrival. This day may not make as big a splash as the Pennsylvania groundhog in February, but the winter solstice marks the longest night of the year and I plan to set my smart phone alarm clock to alert me so I can give a minor cheer and rejoice that the days are slowly lengthening from then until next midsummer's eve.
Of course those in the Christian community are marking dates far more important than the solstice. This Sunday, observed as the 4th Sunday in Advent, will be followed by Christmas Eve, a day filled with wonder and anticipation and offering many an opportunity to participate in a worship service. Then Christmas Day will hold a good share of holy awe and joyful surprise and many people will make a special effort that day to offer kindness to people in special need.
But the winter solstice shouldn't be overlooked. Cultures throughout the world have long observed this significant turn of our globe sunward. The Chinese have a tradition of making balls of rice symbolizing family gatherings on this day. The Koreans do something quite similar, although with a slightly different recipe. Irish "wren boys" take to the highway wearing masks; in former days they would kill a wren on the solstice, carry the corpse from house to house and sing to the residents, a practice that seems barbaric and odd. Pakistanis pour cold water over their head in a rite of purification and many cultures associate the winter solstice with efforts of purification.
I once served a congregation that held a worship service called "A Service of the Longest Night" on the winter solstice. That service appealed to those who found it difficult to rejoice during Advent and Christmas for reasons of loss, depression or unhappy circumstance. Although we sometimes take it for granted that the whole world is joyfully decking the halls, jingling the bells and rocking around the tree, the tragedy in Newtown, CT, almost makes one yearn for just such a service.
Not everybody can give themselves in joyful abandon at Christmas but even so, one cannot dwell too long on the darkness. The longest night is here and then it's gone. John's gospel proclaims that Jesus is the light of the world and that the darkness cannot extinguish this light. Most of us won't have to set alarm clocks to remind us when the day of the Nativity arrives and even in the bitterest gloom and most impenetrable darkness this day holds incredible hope and promise.

Aside from Larry, I've heard of the same happening to others too. Litterally every person I've spoken to that has met Foreman away from the cameras and press has said that he's a bit of a jackass and is far from the fan friendly, happy, smiling person that is so often shown in the media.
I do see fans with pictures with George, though, so maybe he's just an extremely moody person who wakes up on the wrong side of the bed on most days. I don't want to say false info about George, it's just that every fan that had a random (not set up/arranged) encounter with Foreman that I've heard of has been negative. Apparently George is the same to other fighters too, so it's just the way he is, I guess.
I like George a lot as a fighter, but it's tough to like him as a person when I hear multiple stories of him being a ******* towards fans and fellow fighters. I've never met George, so I don't judge him too harshly, although it does bother me when I see people go on and on about how nice he is purely based on what he's portrayed himself as through the media.
I've heard similar things about Holyfield. Although, he is friends with many fighters. I think Evander is stuck up with regular fans, but is nice with people he perceives as equal.
In my experience, people who seem to be constantly smiling and getting along with the media very well tend to be the ones who are stuck up. The ones where you see get testy or are just flatout brutally honest about their opinions have been the ones who are the most down to earth and fan friendly.
I don't understand why some people have such a problem with being friendly to a fan, if taking 1 second out of their time makes another person happy for an entire week, why is it such a big deal?
This weekend I was at the Adamek-Cunningham II fight, and Michael Buffer and Freddie Roach were great with all fans. Buffer took countless of photos with fans and I saw Roach sign several fight tickets. Then on the flip side I've heard of George brushing off fans at fights.
A fighter who was difficult for me to gauge in person was Sugar Ray Leonard. He stared a few fans straight in the face for at least two minutes without signing, but then once his little talk was done he was signing for a very long time. His ego was very easy to see, though. It was easy to see that he knows he's rich and famous and wants as many people as possible to know it too.

It's a bird! It's a plane! No, silly, it's SUPERMOON! The 2013 Supermoon will be happening live in your skies on Sunday, June 23rd at 7AM EDT.
What is a Supermoon? It's not a crime-fighting sphere of cheese as the name may have you envisioning, but rather it's our old familiar moon, only much closer to Earth. This year, it will be 12.2% closer, to be precise. At 7:32AM, the moon will become completely full. Technically, the actual "fullness" of the moon only lasts a moment, but it appears full to a casual observer for a couple of days before and after the full moment has passed. Whether you're armed with high-tech equipment or watching with naked eyes, it'll be a great time for some moon-gazing!
If you can't keep your eyes to the skies at that time, you can watch a free webcast of the Supermoon on Space.com later that day, at 9PM EDT.

ROANOKE, Va. — Next week will bring the next chapter in Virginia's challenge to federal health care reform, but Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli says the issue won't be resolved any time soon.
The constitutional challenge returns to Richmond's federal courthouse Monday for oral arguments. Cuccinelli filed the lawsuit in March, after President Obama signed the health care legislation into law. He argued that Virginians couldn't be compelled to purchase health insurance.
During a visit to Roanoke Tuesday afternoon, Cuccinelli told members of the Roanoke Bar Association that while he would like to "run the table" and win every step of the way, the issue won't be decided until it reaches the Supreme Court.
"It is a fairly close call," Cuccinelli told the audience of attorneys meeting at Roanoke's Shenandoah Club. "I do believe that we should prevail. I certainly believe the consequences of not prevailing are very significant."
Cuccinelli expects a decision from the District judge in Richmond by the end of November. A Supreme Court ruling could be two years away.

President Obama points to supporters in the audience Wednesday as he speaks at the Mississippi Valley Fairgrounds in Davenport.
- Filed Under
Scrambling to hold onto his job in a tense re-election battle, President Obama let loose a blistering attack on GOP opponent Mitt Romney during a campaign rally here Wednesday, the first leg in what he called "a 48-hour, fly-around marathon campaign extravaganza."
Obama was more forceful than usual on the stump, using a booming voice to tear into Romney as an untrustworthy double-talker and then, in more measured tones, to concede he hasn't achieved all the goals he spelled out in Iowa four years ago.
The event came just hours before Romney also blew into Iowa to rally supporters in a ...

According to multiple Twitter posts, developers who missed out on the chance to buy tickets to June's Worldwide Developers Conference are being asked by Apple if they would like to take one of the unclaimed slots.
It is unclear how the invitations are being meted out, though some developers have joked the process is like "round two" of the WWDC lottery.
When Apple sent out initial invitations to buy WWDC 2014 passes earlier in April, the company noted that developers had one week to complete their purchase. At the time, it was noted that reserved slots would be held until 8 p.m. Eastern on Apr. 14, though no mention was made as to what would happen with the unclaimed tickets once that date passed.
At this year's WWDC, Apple is expected to unveil the next-generation iOS 8 alongside a possible sneak peek of OS X 10.10, both of which are under development as seen by AppleInsider's traffic logs.
In addition, events scheduled for the yearly event include more than 100 technical sessions presented by Apple engineers, over 100 hands-on labs and other sessions for developers.
WWDC 2014 kicks off on June 2 at San Francisco's Moscone West. The opening "State of the Union" address will be streamed live via the WWDC website, while select videos and technical sessions will be made available online as the week progresses.

The Obamas have a hilarious plan to prevent their daughters from getting tattoos
Barack Obama apparently uses the same sly humor he employs on Capitol Hill to manage the trials and tribulations of raising teenage girls. For example? Here's how the prez and first lady intend to prevent Sasha, 11, and Malia, 14, from etching any permanent body art on their skin:
"What we've said to the girls is, 'If you guys ever decided you're going to get a tattoo, then mommy and me will get the exact same tattoo in the same place. And we'll go on YouTube and show it off as a family tattoo,'" he said in a new interview on "Today." "And our thinking is that might dissuade them from thinking that somehow that's a good way to rebel."

Turmeric Powder and a Little Subversion
My daughters are allergic to anything "mom" says or tries to impose when it comes to their health. So the idea of taking vitamins, eating more fruits and veggies and laying off MY coffee in the morning is met with a resounding "NO!" Feels like the terrible two's all over again.
Subversion is the only tool left to me to insure their continued health.
D#2 has decided not to take her asthma medicine. "Ok," I say. "Where are your inhalers?" Why-are-you-bothering-me roll of the eyes tells me she has no clue. So I crush the pink pill and sprinkle it over a cup of "froyo," which she eats without an ounce of suspicion.
D#1 has a great immune system. All that breast-feeding really paid off. But think she'd take calcium supplements to boost her bone strength? The eye rolling happens here too. I bought good-tasting Tums – stuck them on her computer with a note stating that her password was changed and the consuming of 2 tabs a day will keep the computer humming in her hands. Worked like a charm!
But the Hubby, he's another issue. He's leery of anything promoted by his wife as "good for your health." He rarely gets sick except if he's been on a plane. Then he is miserable with sneezing and coughing all over the house.
I shared my frustration-Husband syndrome with a friend of mine from India. Samir Doshi, of Telecomers, mentioned they use Turmeric powder as an anti-septic. "How does it taste?" I ask. My mind is busy flashing pictures of me sitting on the Husband whilst pouring this powder directly into his mouth. "Of nothing," he replied. "It just turns the food a bit yellow."
Yellow? I can do yellow! I rushed off to the market, bought some turmeric powder, yellow squash, tomatoes and made a ratatouille. I liberally sprinkled the Turmeric on the squash before drenching everything in garlic, caramelized onions and olive oil.
I served the dish on a decorative platter and made it look FANTASTIC, key to getting the family to eat new dishes. They ate it up and suggested we have this dish more often!
Gosh, I love subversion.

FourSquare jacket color?
I've been looking at some FourSquare jackets...and my question is specifically about the "tan-a-poppin" color.
Some places show it to be a light tan color, while other pictures show a darker brown.
Anyone have and/or seen this color scheme in person?
Here's the light..

And dark..
Foursquare PJ Jacket - Men's from Backcountry.com
I've found backcountry.com (and all their affiliate sites) to use photos that are very seldom accurate color-wise. This is only anecdotal, but I'm willing to bet that the sierrasnowboard photo is a better indicator. :dunno:
Thanks. I've kinda heard that from other people as well.
I tried to ask on Backcountry's live help thing if the picture was accurate. The guy said it represented the correct color, but I doubt he had the jacket in hand... probably just meant that it was what the picture showed, as opposed to being brown with black stripes or something.
Here's The-House's picture... light tan as well.

sierra seems to have correct pictures most of the time
As much as I love Backcountry.com, the pictures are not always dead on! It's happened to me a few times form them that I have got a siff color then what it was or looked like. Or key details missing like the PURPLE liner of the SB Utility jacket in Black. This looked "tan" on the pictures!
I would trust Sierra's picture more. Just Google it to death or check the manufacturers site if it's still up!
manufacturer sites aren't any better than backcountry

Look my writer really isn't that great. She has potential, but I she doesn't really think through of what she's actually writing. I turned down people who were better than her because I felt that I could help her, but I was wrong. So before I send the email I was wondering if this sounds way too harsh.
Ailin I really like the story but I feel uncomfortable drawing for a story that is incomplete. At the beginning I wanted to stop working with you because you hadn't gotten the story done but I thought instead I could help you. I'm having trouble doing the extra chapter because I cannot understand the writing very well. I think it's because it was made before you became a better writer.Maybe I cannot understand it the way you do because we speak different languages. I really think that it is in the best interest that you need to do a lot of rethinking in the story. I'm sorry if I have hurt your feelings. I truly think the story has a lot of potential, it just needs to be fixed on some parts of understanding. I still want to work with youand I think maybe we can still be friends.

Toronto, Ontario - (October 11, 2012) - Montero Mining and Exploration Ltd. (TSX.V: MON) announces that it has come to an agreement to collaborate with Mintek, an internationally recognized metallurgical research and testwork facility in Johannesburg, South Africa, to further develop and optimize the Montero Stage 1 leaching process. These efforts will yield an improvement in the economics of the Montero process as well as assisting Mintek's program of developing its proprietary technology for the refining and separation of rare earth elements.
Mintek will continue Montero's bulk leach test program at a pilot plant scale to verify and optimize the leaching process already developed by Mintek and Montero for the Wigu Hill Rare Earth Element ("REE") Project. In return, Montero will provide Mintek with a bulk sample from the Wigu Hill Deposit to be used by Mintek as part of Mintek's program to develop its independent, proprietary refining technology for producing individually separated REE products. Mintek will in effect be conducting two parallel testwork programs – the first specific to the Wigu Hill Deposit and using conventional, non-proprietary refining technology; the second being Mintek's proprietary process in the early stages of development. Mintek will compare the two technologies as part of the program and, if Mintek's proprietary technology offers benefits to Montero, the parties will investigate ways in which Montero might access the Mintek technology. Through this collaboration with Mintek, Montero expects to get early insight into alternative, innovative refining technologies.
Dr. Tony Harwood, President and CEO of Montero commented, "By collaborating on Mintek's program of developing new and innovative process routes for separating Rare Earth Elements, Montero expects to increase its options to ultimately adopt the refining strategy that extracts maximum value from its REE project. Mintek's proven track record of success in the development of new technologies for the refining of metals, we expect that this development will allow Montero to continue on our strategy to become a low cost Rare Earth producer."
Montero Mining and Exploration Ltd. is a mineral exploration and development company engaged in the development of its flagship Rare Earth Elements (REE) Project Wigu Hill in Tanzania, with phosphate assets in South Africa and uranium assets in Tanzania and Quebec, Canada. The flagship Wigu Hill REE Project is a high-grade, undeveloped Light Rare Earth Element deposit, where the current focus is a fast track strategy to advance a portion of the large deposit to the mining and production stage in the short-term whilst defining a larger deposit and further advancing the hydro-metallurgical testwork with Mintek. With China's control over export quotas, it is becoming imperative that the rest of the world develops new rare earth resources to meet the increasing demand from "green" technology and high-tech applications. Montero has a highly experienced Board and Management team that has built and operated mines and refinery operations that brings significant credibility to our strategy of becoming a rare earth chemical producer.
Mintek, South Africa's national mineral research organization has over 25 years experience in REE extraction and is one of the world's leading technology organizations specializing in mineral processing, extractive metallurgy and related areas. Working closely with industry and other R&D institutions, Mintek offers a complete range of process development services, from preliminary bench-scale investigations to large-scale piloting and integrated flowsheet development in support of bankable feasibility studies. Comprehensive laboratory and piloting facilities for sample preparation, comminution, flotation, physical separation, smelting, leaching and metal recovery and purification are supported by internationally accredited analytical laboratory and mineralogical services.

Young Thor is a traditional side-scrolling platformer / beat 'em up title. It follows the journey of Thor on his way to rescue four maidens from Hel, ruler of the Norse Underworld.
Combat is pleasingly simple and the lack of depth is hidden by the way you can attack enemies in different body parts for better effects. Numbers fly off enemies to indicate the damage done and when these numbers turn yellow, you know you've just discovered a weak spot. For example, the best way to deal with the tall trolls is to jump over them, turn around in mid-air and give them a crack to the back of the head.
Another awesome attack is the ground pound where you shake the ground with a hammer blow from a jump, which lifts everyone up into the air for a bit of juggling. More standard moves include normal, strong, and lightning attacks which can also be charged by holding the button. Charing normal attacks results in a rising uppercut.
Enemies are traditional fare for this sort of title, namely goblins, trolls giant spiders, huge armoured knights howling banshees and undead warriors. Most of them can be quite troublesome in the later levels with their epic health reserves. If you are finding things a little tough you can always come back and get revenge later when you're a bit stronger.
Under your health and magic bars you'll find an experience bar. You can level up all the way to 99 and each time you do level up, you can instantly see how much stronger your attacks are thanks to the number indicators during combat. That's about as complex as levelling up goes, there's no stat tweaking but the game doesn't need that at all. Keeping it simple works in its favour.

A-50 enclosure dimensions and XO schematic - newbie to classicspeakerpages
Posted 14 September 2007 - 03:40 AM
My memory is of a piece of felt-like material covering a slot or hole in an A-35 or A-50 partition board.
I have no memory of what was on the other side of that felt material, if anything.
I had written the cabinet measurements and included the slot or hole size as well.
When I come across those old notes I will post my writings.
Without more technical information, a Scan driver can be treated the same as a Seas driver.
The only difference is when physically replacing a Scan woofer with a Seas, knotches must be cut where the screw horns protrude.
A minor but necessary job.
I cannot comment on the tweeters physical mounting differences, if there is any.
Whether the Scan drivers sound noticeably different from the Seas is yet to be written up here.
Posted 14 September 2007 - 02:01 AM

You need to perform an exorcism to break in your new caps.
If you place a woofer basket on your head and dance to Blood, Sweat and Tears, Spinning Wheel, on a moonlit night, you will find the caps sound way better in a day or two.
Ask our good member Frank about this. LOL LOL
Ok lousy humour.
The Dynaco drivers were sealed into the enclosures with a pretty sticky bluey-green goop.
The fact that you could turn the screws 1/4 turn more may be from the wood drying out or compression of the goop.
Be cautious tightening the screws seeing as how they are only into the soft wood and can strip real easy.
You may give thought to glueing a few wooden matches to the edge of each screw hole for added grip.
Lee Valley, a local big boys toy store, sells woodworking accessories.
They have a tapered wood bit which matches a pencils profile, you can taper the holes and use a pencil sharpener to end shape a dowel to fill in a hole entirely if glued flush.
With the goop being not available, soft putty sealant is in order and I see you used it, great.
Assuming you bought a full package of 3M Strip Caulk, I imagine you have enough left for many future projects. LOL
Eight screws is great.
You may even give thought to using T-Nuts instead of wood screws, the same as AR speakers.
The woofers are lightweight and do put out a good sound, considering.
Dynaco's claim was that 2 - 10" woofers put out more bass than a larger woofer with a better transient response.
>* Only four screws are used for each woofer. I will use eight
>when I finish the job. I will also temporarily remove the

These were the only Dynaco 10" 15 ohm woofer drivers, made by both Scan first and then Seas.
They were made in Denmark.

Good idea, you never know what might come crawling out. LOL
If you were to remove the tweeter, you will be able to see what was done on that side of the cutout and if they stuffed that section of the enclosure.
A clear closeup of the crossover, before, would be really great, please.
This will clear up a little void for information.

>>John Jensen
Dynaco recommended a 1 1/2 amp fast blow fuse for speaker protection.
Perhaps a 1 1/4 amp may be used in line with their age.
My main servicing experience was with the Dynaco A-25's, many 100's.
Primarily Seas, not too many Scans.
In that system the woofer was by far the weakest link, the tweeter, the exact same one used in all their classic speakers, was a really rugged unit.
They outlasted the woofers at least 100 - 1, at least in my experience.
Remember that all speaker damage is cumulative, you can almost burn the voice coil's each time you overload them, not a pleasant sight.
Keep your eyes out for a spare pair of these woofers, they are rarer than hen's teeth, they also will not lose their value in the future.
I was fortunate last year to buy a pair off ebay and it was a local seller and free pickup, a nice man too.
If you are looking at a Dynaco woofer of any impedance, if the mention of a buzz comes up, leave it alone, it is screwed, permanently.

Thanks for your write-up.
If possible please take a before photo, or two, of the crossover board and after mod.

After reviewing what others have written about capacitors, I went the ClarityCaps route. They are more expensive than Solens but affordable. I went with the SA series.
After removing one speaker (the one nearest the edge) I could look inside. I cut the woofer leads and got it out of the way. I had to remove several pieces of sound absorbing material (luckily just tucked into place, not glued, which made replacement easy). There were the boards just as they appear in the pictures. I snipped the connecting wires and removed the capacitors.
The 24µF capacitor is marked "Jensen Capacitors, Electrolytic Cross-Over Capacitor, 24µF, 50 WVDC, 25 WVAC, EAR-1-0518E24PR, Made in Denmark" The 5µF capacitor is marked as 50 WV and NP (non-polarized). I don't recognize the manufacturer but it looks typically Japanese of the period.
The ClarityCaps are massive in comparison (far voltage overrated compared to the 50V working voltage rating of the originals) but I was able to fit them in. Soldering was not easy. I was not about to poke around in there with a hot soldering iron so I used my old soldering gun. It also has two penlite bulbs so that helped illumination. I made sure they were securely mounted using silicone goop adhesive. I soldered the woofer to the leads and put it back in place using 3M Strip-Calk.
After dinner I fired up the amplifiers and listened to music. Fine. Sounded great.
I'm going to follow up this posting with more observations and comments.

I don't suppose it has occurred to any owner of the A50 to just pull a woofer and measure the aperiodic vent between the two chambers? There are quite a few people that would be interested and very appreciative to know what those dimensions are. Thanx.....
I recently acquired the four woofers and two tweeters as used in the A-50 in two "really" home-made sealed boxes of about 40 litres (1.4 cuft) for A$10 /pr at my local salvo store.
Their XO was a first-order on the tweeter with series C and series/parallel Rs actually labelled "SEAS". The arrangement sounded OK, but I suspect the original design of the A-50 might be better. The pair of boxes lacked the "punch" that some people have used to describe the bass and low mids of the original A-50.
I have found the **outside** dimensions of the original boxes (28"x21.5"x10"). Three things I can't seem to find exactly are the dimensions/design of front baffle layout, the internal aperiodic vent or a XO schematic. I did find the A-50 XO on Planet 10 site, but also found a reference elsewhere that this could be slightly wrong. Someone suggested that 10R resistor should be in parallel with tweeter to form an Lpad. see attached .gif (Thanks to Dave Dlugos of Planet 10-hope it's alright to post this pic)
I also need to know thickness of original cabinets (3/4 chipboard??) or enclosure volume as i plan to make thicker walls and perhaps some bracing front-to-rear and side-to-side.
Also thought of making them as towers to avoid separate stands. Can anyone supply box plans and definitive XO schematic? Is there any advantage to making boxes bigger than original design? Or has anyone used these SEAS drivers in any other configuration eg d'appolito with tweeter between two mid-basses? Any suggestions for improvements on the original design would be appreciated. Please don't shoot me for posting such heresies in the Classic Dyanaco forum ;-)

I took both of my rescued A-50's outside to clean up last week.
I took some photos and will post them and complete my write-up soon.
1. removed 99% of the black paint from the side panels.
2. I measured drivers, front and other outside measurements.
3. I took photos of before and after.
4. first cabinet has 99% mint walnut veneer.
5. second cabinet is like from another planet, terrible shape, paint hides lots of sins.
6. about one hour each so far.
20120410 added
Funny thing is that after all I've read about the A-50's being floorstanding speakers because of their size and weight, my cabinets have the recesses and wall mounting brackets attached.
I tried to post a few photos and was unsuccessful.

- Minneapolis Washburn running back Jeff Jones signs with Gophers

- High schools: National Signing Day
- Feb 3:
- Gophers football: Two recruits switch commitments to U

- Gophers football: Two receivers bolster 2014 recruiting class
George Behr saw this coming three years ago. Players in the Raptors' Class of 2014 helped produce some of the school's best football teams the past couple of seasons.
And on Wednesday, the best of them take their first steps toward playing at the next level. Four East Ridge football players will sign college letters of intent, the most in a single class since the Woodbury school opened in 2009.
Behr, a tight end, will sign with Rutgers, and Nick Leach, a running back, will sign as a preferred walk-on with Minnesota. Offensive lineman JC Hassenauer, the top-ranked center in the country, gave an oral commitment to Alabama last summer and will make it official with his signature. Wide receiver Xavier Cole will sign with Concordia- St.
"This is such a special time for all of us," Behr said. "We knew we had the individual talent and a high commitment level that would someday lead to team success."
That happened last fall when the Raptors finished 8-2 and won the Suburban East Conference championship.
The Raptors looked unbeatable the first month of the season, until Leach tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee on the first play against district rival Park in Week 4. To that point, Leach had been nearly unstoppable with 667 rushing yards, a 10.8-yard average and 11 touchdowns as the Raptors outscored their first three opponents 139-46.
Leach was one of three East Ridge players to suffer ACL injuries, and Hassenauer suffered an MCL strain.
East Ridge's senior class might have had another signing, but offensive lineman Matthew Kelly, the lineman of the year in the Suburban East Conference, has decided to concentrate on academics in college instead. He had interest from Minnesota-Duluth and South Dakota State before deciding to pursue a career in engineering, likely at Iowa State.
Behr said he nearly crossed paths with former University of Minnesota quarterback Philip Nelson when the two were visiting the Rutgers campus in New Brunswick, N.J., two weekends ago.
Behr was just ending his official visit with the Scarlet Knights when he was told that Nelson, who announced last month he was leaving the Gophers, was beginning his visit. Nelson committed to Rutgers, which will be a member of the Big Ten Conference, days later.
"I'm really looking forward to catching passes from him," said Behr, who had 22 receptions and averaged nearly 14 yards per catch in 2013.
"This was a special group of guys," Leach said of East Ridge's senior class. "We had tight relationships and were huge competitors. It'll be weird not playing with them again."
It might not be the program's last wave of Division I talent.
East Ridge coach Mike Pendino, a Gophers assistant during the late 1980s, said three players from the Raptors' sophomore class are on track to sign with Division I programs: quarterback Seth Green, wide receiver Kjetil Cline and defensive lineman Jo Jo Garcia.
Plus, Minnesota and Alabama already have expressed interest in freshman kicker Grant Ryerse.
"We've been blessed with some great talent and some great kids," Pendino said. "There just aren't that many Division I and II scholarships out there."
Said Eden Prairie coach Mike Grant: "Any time you get have one Division I guy, that's a great thing. Two is pretty incredible. Three is really special. You don't see that too often."

OK Go Trick Our Eyes With 'The Writing's on the Wall' Video
OK Go are at it again!
The guys who first shot to fame in 2005 with their one-take treadmill dance for "Here It Goes Again" have stepped it up for their latest, "The Writing's on the Wall."
The video, yet again a one-take shot, is basically one giant optical illusion that puts the four band members in all kinds of visually-assaulting situations, like jumping on boxes that seems real, but then turn into paintings, riding a bicycle upside down, and getting splattered with pink paint.
According to Rolling Stone, the video for the single, which is about two people seeing very different things in a relationship, took three weeks to assemble and 50 takes to get right.
"The Writing's on the Wall" is off their Hungry Ghosts album, which is due out in October and can be pre-ordered here!

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - State health care officials say they are temporarily suspending 16 California alcohol and drug treatment centers that are suspected of violations.
The allegations include hiring people who were convicted of abusing patients and bilking Medi-Cal for services they never performed.
Department of Health Care Services Director Toby Douglas said Thursday that he is referring the centers to the state Department of Justice for further investigation. Douglas oversees Medi-Cal, the state's Medicaid health insurance program for the poor.
Some centers are suspected of hiring people who have been convicted of defrauding the government or neglecting or abusing patients. Others are being investigated for performing unnecessary procedures or fraudulently billing the Medi-Cal drug program.
The state will not identify the centers and will not pay them until the investigation is complete.
