2003 Porsche 911 • 6 cylinder Automatic • 74,000 miles
I have a porsche targa 2003. One of the remote keys was stolen. I just was curious what to do next, the Porsche dealer just told me it was going to be 1k and take 6 weeks!
December 10, 2010.
December 10, 2010.
They need to get a new key and reprogram everything to accept the new key. That is why the price is high. Actually, it is higher because it is a Porsche, but still takes some time to do.
As far as the 6 weeks, did they explaine why it would take so long?
As far as the 6 weeks, did they explaine why it would take so long?
Dec 10, 2010.
Dec 10, 2010.
The reason they're giving you 6 wks is because it takes that long to get all new locks for the car with the same coding. Or you can simply go the dealer get another key, bring any other keys that fit the car, code the new key and remove any key old key codes. It won't keep anyone from unlocking the car at the door handle but at least they won't be able to start the car because the key code from the key thats missing will be removed from the alarm contrrol unit.
Dec 26, 2010.
Dec 26, 2010.
You are being quoted for replacing all the lock cylinders on the car, which has to be duplicated at the factory and match the current vin number. You can have the stolen key deleted from the list of keys in the alarm control unit so the car can't be started with the stolen key but can still unlock the car. Only the dealer can do this.

Michelle, my belle
Sont des mots qui vont tres bien ensemble
Tres bien ensemble
Lyric Meaning
The chorus from "Michelle" by The Beatles, a song released the same year that Slick Rick was born. The Ruler doesn't pronounce the words as clearly as Paul McCartney but he has the French words correct.
In English:
Michelle, my beautiful
These are words that go together very well
Together very well
Like Rick's Sukiyaki interpolation on "La Di Da Di", this portion of the song was clumsily edited out of some later releases due to copyright issues.

@mmalogic Who gives a shit about "same era". They have fought in two different weight classes. 3 if you consider Silva has fought at 205. Jones vs Silva wouldn't need a catchweight since Silva has already shown he can fight at 205. Having a guy whose never fought above his weight class move up to fight a guy whose fought at two higher weight classes makes no sense at all. Especially after seeing Bonnar get dismantled after alot of people said Bonnar was sooo much stronger then Silva, that he would be able to move him around and handle him, blah blah blah and we seen how that went. Honestly, fuck these "super fights". I want to see GSP vs Condit then whoever wins vs the next in line. I want to see Silva vs Weidman then Bisping...after that he can retire or move up to 205.

this will only sell out if GSP FINISHES Condit.Cowboy stadium will be awesome.
11/7/12 11:01 PM by MMALOGIC
jones hasnt reached his peak yet in stardom... whereas GSP and Anderson have. GSP and Anderson makes more sense now while Jones gets more acclimated to his position. Once Jones breaks out then Silva/Jones will make sense. GSP and Anderson are from the same era... and largely dominated the same era. and more importantly they can meet at a catchweight (178) whereas jones likely cannot. This is the superfight that makes the most sense. GSP has an entire country behind him... Anderson has an entire country behind him. Jones is still a baby.
11/7/12 10:38 PM by Jacinto
I agree man. I just don't find GSP vs Silva very interesting as Silva will probably tko him in the first two rounds.
11/7/12 10:20 PM by Arecsa
GSP/Silva at Dallas Cowboy Stadium?I'll travel from Australia to watch that fight in person.
11/7/12 10:08 PM by easedel
If he beats Condit, I hope he says, No thank you, I have a title to defend vs a tough division. Then walks out.
11/7/12 10:06 PM by slugshot331
Andy and GSP should play rock, paper, scissors to determine where the fight takes place.

Home > China Destination > Zhejiang > Hangzhou > Hangzhou Attractions > Mountain Family
The Mountain Family in Hangzhou is the most unique agricultural site in the region. Thus, it is considered as a major sightseeing and tourist destination. The Mountain Family is in fact a small mountain village that dates back to over a hundred years ago.
In the past, it was used as a school leaver practice spot in which the dreams of an entire generation of Chinese pupils lived. Until now, some traces of youthfulness can still be felt in the area.
The Mountain Family is a wonderful place to go to because it is truly a natural paradise. At the right time, wisps of smoke gather there, creating a beautiful sight that is rarely seen when you are in the city.
Things to do
Tourists go to Mountain Family mainly for sightseeing tours, during which they can admire the scenery and take in the beauty of nature. The well-preserved mountain with its quaint village homes indeed has a very charming, cozy, and welcoming feel. Many visitors tend to want to linger in the mountain and just take advantage of the chance to relax and take in the peaceful and calm atmosphere. The solace of the mountain protects the village from the hustle and bustle that the city atmosphere always comes with.
The Mountain Village is welcome to all visitors. Those who stay awhile are even allowed to pick fruits and enjoy the fresh bounty provided by nature. Many locals and even tourists sometimes decide to stay even longer, sometimes even long enough to open an orchard of their own.
Life in the Mountain Family Village is nothing like modern life. The villagers live by their own harvest, and spend quiet nights and quiet days. The place is therefore highly recommended for those who are looking for a peaceful Hangzhou getaway.
The Mountain Family in Hangzhou offers plenty of retreats and escapes for those who wish to escape from the grey city. In the mountains, the surroundings are predominantly green with all the trees and plants in the surroundings. Some of the mountains still house some of China's ethnic minority groups, and it is always a memorable experience to witness their unique lives.
The usual activities, aside from sightseeing and admiring nature and the mountains, that people can engage in when they are in the Mountain Family include planting, trying out the fruits, bird-watching, walking, trekking, hiking, and meditating. The simple villages provide modern visitors a glimpse of what life used to be like and invite them to take part. In certain times of the year, the villagers would conduct their yearly festivals, in which visitors can also participate.
The village is dotted with many simple inns and restaurants that are set up by the locals; these offer all the basic conveniences that visitors require. Many modern facilities and amenities, however, may not be available.
One of the most amazing things that attract plenty of tourists to the Mountain Family is the fact that despite the rapid development in China's main cities, the mountain village and the people who dwell there seem to remain untouched and unmoved. They are not at all influenced by the fast-paced lifestyle in the cities. Due to the quaint and peaceful lifestyle there, it can be truly tempting to stay awhile.
Solo Adventure Tips:
How to Get There?
Take bus route K315 from the Hangzhou urban area, particularly at the Longxiang Bridge, and go to the Hangzhou Amusement Park. From there, you can transfer to the Xiaoshan bus route no. 6, which can take you directly to the Mountain Family.
Ticket Price:
Free to enter the village, but some of the scenic sites inside may charge varying entrance rates.

Senate Republicans spent nearly $31 million in the final weeks of the fall campaigns on their way to picking up six additional seats, according to the latest Federal Election Commission data.
The National Republican Senatorial Committee reporting raising $112 million over the past two years, including $19.4 million since the middle of October.
But that haul didn't prevent them from taking on debt. The NRSC is $6 million in the red, according to its latest filing. The committee has $519,326 in cash left over from the fall elections. They also have a long list of Democrats to target, ensuring they will be on the offensive again in 2012.

The George Lopez Show
Show Preview
George's life has become a bit more complicated since he became the first assembly line worker to be promoted to plant manager at a Los Angeles airplane parts factory. Although his affable friends on the floor rib him about becoming "Mr. Clipboard," they still like him. Managing his tough and acerbic but loving mother, Benny, while maintaining a civil relationship presents a whole new kind of challenge, both at work and at home. Fortunately, George's wife, Angie, possesses patience and copes surprisingly well with Benny's insensitive wisecracks and George's freewheeling approach to parenthood.

aerotech wheel bundle
Set of 4 10" puncture-proof aerotech wheels for your duet stroller, including 2 front and 2 rear wheels.
*please note all tyres will need to be changed if using aerotech
stand out features:
- aerotech: a unique hybrid blend of EVA and rubber
- puncture-proof and low maintenance
- lightweight
- hollow inner, offering 'air' cushioning
- fully assembled, ready to slide onto your buggy frame
- 10" diameter
- 2 front wheels and 2 rear wheels included in bundle
- compatible with the duet stroller
Not up to the job.
Written by: SimonV
Not great. They wear out quickly and break with normal everyday use ( dropping off a kerb). They feel flimsy and not really fit for the buggy. They are expensive for what you get.
Should have come with the buggy!
Written by: JonT
These are the wheels the mountain buggy should come with, rather than have to pay extra.
My wife got a puncture on the other tyres and had to push twins home on a flat tyre - not fun and something impossible to fix on the move with two small children on board.
Highly recommend!
Written by: samanthajayne
I bought the aerotech wheels a few weeks ago and I am very happy with my purchase! The pram still steers and handles great both in shopping centers and on walking trails and it's awesome knowing I don't have to worry about punctures.
Much better than the original tires
Written by: Mom to four 3 and under
We use our stroller daily for walks and errands. In roughly two years we had about six flats with the original tires (beware most bike shops don't stock this inner tube size as standard so stock up). Finally one wore through entirely. We bought these wheels to replace them - we have four kids three and under and there's no way to take them out alone without a double stroller. We needed something reliable and sturdy. The new tires roll smoothly and are fine on moderately rough ground. Really, they should be the standard wheels for the Mountain Buggy Duet rather than costing $100+ later. Any marginal gain in smoothness with the original air-filled tires on rougher terrain like gravel trails isn't worth constantly finding yourself stranded with an out-of commission stroller, especially if you're a mile or two out on a trail with a heavy dead-weight stroller and multiple small children who can't walk yet.
Won't Deflate
Written by: Jesse
The wheels are great, similar to other higher end stroller wheels like uppababy, citymini, etc. It would be great to get the option of purchasing either the aerotech tires or the air filled ones when purchasing the stroller instead of having to have both sets.
Terrible tyres
Written by: Angharad
We've had our Duet for two and and a half years. We've bought new tyres, new inner tubes countless times even though we live in a city centre and it's hardly rough terrain! Really disappointing and it's cost us a fortune. Filling the tyres with slime didnt work either. It's been a real pain during a very stressful time trying to care for young twins.
Little disappointing
Written by: Argo
Bought these tyres as the standard air tyres were terrible at keeping pumped up.
These tyres are great on smooth surfaces but very hard and jerky on others
Worth the money but should come with pram
Written by: kjw3
These tyres have been great in the fact that they don't puncture. Its just a shame that the air filled tyres that come with the pram are so terrible and you have to fork out extra for these ones if you don't want to be forever fixing flat tyres.
Wheels are excellent!
Written by: Nick
Wheels are excellent - easy to install, lightweight and responsive
Great tyres but overpriced
Written by: Chrise225
Bought them after a few flats and they are brilliant but should be a no coat option when u buy the pram and not 170 bucks afterwards.
Updated wheels
Written by: Aussie
A great improvement on the original wheels though over priced for this product, but found it necessary to buy as the original ones were hopeless with tyre pressure and punctures frequent!!!
Worth It.
Written by: jennlewis
I mean, why don't these just come with the stroller? I'll be honest, I didn't even use the inflatable tires; after reading reviews, I immediately bought these. We love them (and being comfortable that they're not going to deflate makes the cost totally worth it.) And the stroller is amazing - so easy to push around, easy to get the kiddos into, narrow enough to get through doors, and the reclining means my tiny twins can ride in it now!
Still waiting...
Written by: Sharpie
I ordered these a month ago and still waiting for them to arrive but am really really hoping they do the job as the air ones the buggy came with are rubbish. 6 weeks in and we have already had 3 punctures. Nightmare. When I complained I was told the air ones were apparently good for off roading... wouldn't even dream of risking off roading given they can't cope with the pavements of north London. Makes me hate Mountain Buggy a bit that we had to get them and think they should be included instead of air tyres.
Perfect, stress free
Written by: Becc
No longer worry that we're going to burst a wheel or get a flat when out. These should be standard, & not so expensive.
Written by: Sam RJ
After constant pumping of tyres and time consuming puncture repairs we finally got these and love them. We've noticed no change in the way the buggy performs in terms of handling/bumpiness but no longer need to worry about getting a flat tyre on a long walk and constantly pumping or repairing tyres! A god send - I just wish we found them earlier!
Love them... But wish they came standard
Written by: Jamie
Love the new tires for our mountain buggy. This is the second mountain buggy stroller we have owned (Terrain with our first, duet when we had our second). We are hard on our strollers and an original rear tire popped during an outing after having the duet stroller for about 8 months. Since we use the stroller so frequently, we needed a replacement and I decided on the aerotech tires. I am very impressed with the durability of the wheels so far, I only wish that you didn't have to put out another $150 to get them.
excellent addition to duet
Written by: rsdw
I bought it right away and I am very happy. It wheels very well.
Written by: Hutchy
Had to have new inner tubes after 6 months,another set 5 months later,now after 18 months,new tyres as the originals have shredded.The buggy was not used for the first few months and it isn't used every day now.Considering the purchase price, this problem has been very disappointing.£119 for a new set of wheels and tyres is ridiculous!Obviously a design fault judging by the other comments,they should be a free replacement!
Written by: Nikki
Omg! These wheels changed my life. I can not recommend them enough! No more punctures. Makes the buggy so much lighter and easier to push. Love love love. Registered my buggy an got them half price!
Made a Great Stroller Even Better
Written by: Andy54
Our kids are in our Duet at least 4 times a day, all year long, so we really put it through it's paces. We have gone through our share of inflatable tires- the last time an inflatable tire went out at a park two miles from our house, we got home and ordered these tires. I think the Duet handles just as well as it ever did, and now we venture into the wild without fear of a flat. Fantastic buy!
Changed my life
Written by: Monique
I hated having to pump my tyres. Who has the time? These aerotech still offer a smooth ride and I don't feel too compromised. Best investment. :)

WeNews editor
Saturday, May 14, 2011
Bad news came this week for shareholders of India's largest microlender. That offers a chance to tout two writers who always said high interest rates--of 20 percent and higher--were never the best news for the world's poorest female borrowers.
And the loans were not "off the rack." They were customized and detailed and required agents riding around on scooters to collect payments and check on things such as whether recipients were keeping up with matching savings accounts that were sometimes required. Microlending was portrayed as expensive and risky, which justified the high interest rates.
From that answer we derived our editorial stance: Microcredit was a lot better than no credit and it was better than loan sharks.
That was pretty sober compared to the glowing coverage that microcredit often enjoyed elsewhere in the press.
Microcredit deserves its due. It helps many female "micro-entrepreneurs" buy sewing machines, wheel barrows and hand carts. And after the Asian tsunami of 2004, microcredit loans--along with small direct grants from aid groups--rushed in to help many people start over. Barbara Crossett herself called for microcredit in that situation.
But while there may be a place for microcredit and microfinance, it shouldn't be taken as a market-based, profit-motivated panacea for ending women's poverty.
In 2007, Susan Feiner--our self-described resident feminist economist--wrote an opinion piece for Women's eNews about why Muhammad Yunus, the widely recognized father of microfinance who has been kicked off the board of the Grameen Bank he founded, didn't deserved a Nobel Prize. She thought a more deserving candidate was the Self-Employed Women's Association of India.
That column, " Microcredit? Spare Us the Praise for a Panacea," offers a searching critique of remedies to female poverty. It may now be a good time to revisit Feiner's piece, because, after all, she did tell us so.

I spent 2 years following the work of Muhammad Yunus and am just finishing up a film on both microcredit and Yunus' social businesses. What I saw over there was how it empowered women, by giving them a voice in the family, getting them to learn about a be a part of the family finances and even in some cases go on to local office. I saw that growth was slow and steady, and sometimes had set backs. It is life afterall. The women starting out were starting in a really bad way, with lack of so much we take for granted. Looking at branches that had been around for over a decade, you could see the difference in how well fed the women were and their confidence. They also learned many things by coming together weekly that were also important and should be noted. They told me how they had learned to be clean or were happy that they had a toilet now. Things that I wouldn't have imagined as progress. Seeing what they were going through made me appreciate what our great-grandmothers fought for here long ago. It's not a panacea, but nothing is. It is an important tool to millions who have close to nothing. Grameen is a fine model that needs to be replicated. They put their money back into other services that are also desperately needed - healthcare, education, alternative energies, the list goes on. Grameen has the lowest interest rate of all the banks and actually had a self-sufficient model, so they could practice what they preach and not be taking handouts from anyone. If we can get away from the handout mentality that wastes so much valuable time from charities, and move to a more truly sustainable world that empowers individuals and organizations to focus on doing what they are aiming to do in their mission statements, we'd have an amazing world.

This report does not surprise me, I only am surprised it took so long for this to come to light. Microloans are given to women with little or no supports of any kind, so they are very vulnerable to the lenders and from the beginning, this seemed to me to be a way to use poor women in order that a money lender could have a locus of easy control. Thus, the women moved from loss of whatever lives they had, to a slave like existence toward their financiers. There are people who appear to be doing good, and often are honoured for this, while they have really found a way to line their own pockets more than anything.
Submitted by sks in chicago (not verified) (4 years ago)
This is a very important issue, and I've also been concerned about stories of women getting deeply into debt on micro loans. But the NYTimes article says only that a main reason for the bad earnings of the bank was that people were encouraged not to repay loans by the government. Neither it nor your article offers data or specifics about why the government says it did this. In the absence of such details, one could conclude that officials wanted the program to fail because it was empowering women 'too much.'
Submitted by user21706 (not verified) (4 years ago)
One small comment: All the microcredit companies seemed to be big businesses into making money. My experience with microcredit in India is mainly with Jaya Arunachalam's Working Women's Forum in Chennai, and more remotely with Ela Bhatt in Gujarat.
These women created microcredit for very poor women not to make money in the process of giving them access to microcredit.
So the failure of all these big microlenders is a sort of delightful justice, only if very poor women don't suffer from these microlenders' greed. Because it may well be that these companies have just replaced the pawn-brokers the poor women had to deal with before.

JERNIGAN CREEK. Jernigan Creek rises at the junction of its East and West forks, two miles southeast of Pecan Gap and just south of Gough Cemetery in northwestern Delta County (at 33°20' N, 95°48' W) and runs southeast for four miles to its mouth on the South Sulphur River, two miles south of Klondike (at 33°18' N, 95°45' W). It was named for a hunter who was lost for twelve days in the forest nearby. The stream traverses low-lying floodplains, surfaced by mud, sand, and gravel over dark clays. The local vegetation includes water-tolerant hardwoods, conifers, and grasses.

When the 21-year-old Joba Chamberlain arrived in the Bronx to join the New York Yankees in August 2007, he had no clothes.
In the whirlwind before he became the setup savior, Chamberlain went to the Gap near Triple-A Scranton and bought as many slacks as he could afford.
With that taken care of, he arrived in the big leagues and found out he needed a suit for team flights. He had never had bought a suit, so he asked a clubhouse attendant: "What do I do? I have no clothes."
Alex Rodriguez came to the rescue and took him to a local clothing store, Porta Bella, and they picked up two gray Calvin Klein suits. Dressed for success, Chamberlain went on to complete the Summer of Joba, in which he fired 15 1/3 scoreless innings to begin his career. It was the most impressive streak since Slow Joe Doyle threw 18 scoreless in 1906.
From his first transition from a college and minor league starter to lighting up the 2007 summer to the Midges in Cleveland to the Rules to the DUI to starting in the regular season to relieving in the playoffs to losing the fifth starter spot this spring -- are you out of breath yet? -- it feels as if Chamberlain's life had been stuck on the fast-forward button.
This brings us to now. He is positioned as the "Bridge to Rivera," the fast-forward button has finally been turned off and he is just being allowed to play. In other words, he finally knows his role.
"I know what I'm doing for the whole year, which is different than it has been since I got here," Chamberlain said. "If you want to call it settled, you can call it settled."
Though he's still just 24, Chamberlain is not a prodigy anymore. He is a veteran, and he may be the difference-maker in the toughest division in baseball. While the Yankees' recent hitting slump likely will self-correct with the antidote of Baltimore Orioles and Houston Astros pitching on deck, what the Yankees have in Chamberlain is still murky.
It doesn't help that a setup man works in a world where shades of gray are difficult to identify. How should we take this weekend against the Toronto Blue Jays in Toronto, for example? On Saturday, Chamberlain struck out three of his four outs, didn't allow a run, and hit 97 on the Rogers Centre gun.
On Sunday, he came in to protect a two-run lead in the eighth inning and immediately allowed a long double to Jose Molina and an RBI to Fred Lewis. He then forced Aaron Hill to hit into a 4-6-3 double play, and his day was over.
For Chamberlain, this weekend was a time to reminisce, because it was 2007 in Toronto that he made his debut. The Summer of Joba began with two scoreless innings at Rogers Centre. He lit up the radar gun at 100 and turned out to be the biggest X factor in the Yankees' making the playoffs.
Now, as things have slowed down, he could be the difference again, especially in a division that includes the Tampa Bay Rays, the Boston Red Sox and the Blue Jays (who are respectable until proved otherwise).
Chamberlain's biggest perception problem has always been his success. The start of his career raised the expectations to a level impossible to meet.
"In 2007, he was unbelievably good," said Phil Hughes, who, it is hard to remember now, was actually more hyped up than Chamberlain before they both came up. "I don't think anyone could maintain that."
At the major league level, Chamberlain's hype quickly eclipsed Hughes', and the Joba Rules debate has become an all-time New York argument. It will survive long after Chamberlain quits playing.
After being drafted out of Nebraska with the 41st pick in the 2006 draft, Chamberlain pitched only a few months in the minors. After his first Triple-A start, Yankees senior vice president Mark Newman told him, according to Joba, "The rumors about you getting called up as a reliever are true; we just don't know when."
Chamberlain said he went outside and "cried to myself" because he was on the verge of fulfilling his dream that began when he threw his first ball at age 4.
He didn't tell anyone until he transitioned in the minors from a starter to a reliever and it became official. When he finally called his polio-stricken dad -- who would add to the Joba narrative -- on Aug. 6, 2007, he told him he couldn't talk very long because he had to rush and pack. Chamberlain packed the clothes he did have, and the whirlwind has just started to slow down.
"I've only been here for four years, but it feels like longer," Chamberlain said. "That's a good thing."
Chamberlain says he thinks nothing has changed. Well, except for one thing.
"Now, I have too many suits," Chamberlain said.

In terms of story telling, I thought it was pretty weak. I'll probably end up having a bit of a rant, so long post ahead. Also, spoilers.
First of all, we've got that black guy with the sick daughter. What was the point of that? What did that entire sequence accomplish? The only things it did was to establish that Khan's blood could (somehow, it was never properly explained) cure illnesses, and that there was a bombing. None of this needed that family that we never saw again. The "Khan's blood is a magical cure" bit was better explained by the tribble sequence. And as for the bombing? Why did Khan go to all the trouble of having this guy plant the bomb if Khan was going to actually be there in the aftermath (as Kirk saw in the meeting)? Instead of going to all this pointless storytelling, just have Khan sneak in, showing how clever he is. Get's caught, has to fight a few guards (showing how strong he is). Plants the bomb, blows the place up. Establishes his character, shows his intelligence and strength. Sure, it doesn't do the "blood is a cure to whatever disease you might have" thing, but that was explained later in the movie anyway.
If you'd paid attention you'd have noticed that all this ties in with the theme "what would you do for your family".
Tiberius wrote:
The first bit was good. Show Kirk saying, "Fuck you" to the rules, and then BAM he gets demoted. Force him to live with the consequences of his arrogance. That was a lot like Kirk from TOS. Making him a commander was also good. But then, as soon as Pike is killed, Starfleet says, "Oh well, we'll just make you a captain again and give you back the Enterprise." WTF is this? What was the point of demoting him in the first place? It would have been far better to have Kirk as Pike's XO (with Spock staying as Enterprise science officer), and then have Pike killed later. That way, Kirk has to EARN his command back instead of Starfleet telling him he might as well just have it back. Maybe have Pike die trying to fix the reactor. That would give Kirk a HUGE motivation to go after Khan.
Again you weren't paying attention. Marcus gave Kirk the Enterprise back, because he thought he could use the hot-head youngster as the perfect fall-guy for his war-plans.
This wouldn't make much sense.
Marcus operates from a position of strength. Why would he sacrifice that position by placing himself in the centre of things?
He tries to use Kirk and the Enterprise to instigate his war with the Klingons.
Tiberius wrote:
Which brings me to that whole big fight thing. It's Kirk's movie. He's the one who gets demoted. He's the one in command. and yet, in the big finale, Kirk's on his back and Spock's the one solving the problem. Why? I mentioned before that you could have had Pike die in the reactor (and stay dead). Then you could have had Kirk fighting Khan instead of Spock, and no need for that crappy, "We need him alive" stuff either. It's a movie, Kill the bloody villain.
Who says this is Kirk's movie alone?
Besides, they killed the villain last time, and people where complaining.
Now the keep Khan alive, and people start complaining about that.
Tiberius wrote:
And that big ship, Vengeance or whatever... That was the biggest fanwank I;ve ever seen.
It's a warship built for Marcus' planned war against the Klingons. What's so fanwank-y about it?
I've just seen the moderation intervention directed at me, in addition to you, for the narky tone you took with my review and someone else's post.
Another moderation tour de force!!

The Board's decision to drop the CEO for the so-called purpose of raising the share price is absolutely moronic. But anyone familiar with Barrick Gold's Board knows this is simply par for the course. They are nitwits of the highest order. I seriously doubt there is some hidden meaning behind the boot that will be disclosed at a later date that will have any bearing on the direction of the stock.One must also comprehend the dynamics that will move gold significantly higher and thus ABX remain firmly in place. Europe's only possible solution to their crisis is the ECB printing press. The amount of bad debt they will need to monetize is truly staggering. When the inevitable takes place gold will shoot to the moon.And the United States is not far behind, given a choice between falling back into recession or creating larger deficits, printing more Greenbacks...Well we all know the answer to that question.If this was a game of chess, the proclamation of "Checkmate" would be in order. Even Barricks dysfunctional Board can't screw this up, ABX to 65 in the next 12 months.
Agreed. and it's an election year so as we near that time, osama will tell big bad ben to start printing. that will push gold to 1800 by then and maybe higher. ABX to 50-53 by election time.
You subscribe to popular theory that says the printing press magnifies the quantity of money and so the purchasing power of money is debased because more dollars (M) will chase the same quantity of goods and services (GDP).It has yet to be borne out by data. No inflation, rather a whiff of deflation is in the air. Witness housing prices, commodities, etc. Of course, M has been increased through our QE's, but all that does is ending up as reserves sitting idle in banks, not out there chasing stuffs. When it does, we will see if the Fed will keep its promise to mop up the excess liquidity. Yes, it bears watching, but that is later. They may or may not succeed. Until then, gold bugs are jumping the gun. They are not aware of the holes in their argument. Slowly, it is dawning on them. They have been shouting fire, but there is still no fire.
Yes it is true, an increase in the reserves held at our banks via fed monetize policy alone does not create inflation. Without an uptick in the velocity of money, those reserves being lent out into the real economy, creating growth, jobs, higher wages et cetera one would not normally see too much demand chasing too few goods...But what you fail to recognize is the powerful force of expectations. Not only is the tinder in place for a large fire in the forms of huge reserves...Risk taking based on negative real interest rates, unprecedented fed policy, expansion of their balance sheet, backstopping of all forms of debt has been creating bubbles for quite some time, not only in the developed economies but the emerging markets as well.My point is banks are not the only source of lending nor inflation. Govts, stock markets, individuals, companies are already acting on expectations...What has happened is we now have a world economy addicted and more importantly relies on money printing to resolve all that ails us. The answer to our debt problems has been clearly more debt, this travesty has been taking place for nearly 3 decades now and the many maladies associated with this madness are making themselves known across the globe.Bottom line, money in theory should be a storage of value, Bernanke has destroyed that premise, has lost our credibility as a reserve currency. We will soon find out as the European crisis unravels how devastating that sin will be...One buys gold not only for the fear of inflation, but the credible trepidation our system is broken. My view is we either collapse or suffer some form of severe stagflation. No in between, goldilocks ending, hence my ABX position.
