the Why,
after ringo pointed me to look at ajmadison site, it does look like those summit fridges is the answer – if I cant locate a side by side without the water dispenser and at a reasonable price.
am now hunting for ranges and that’s a much easier choice as I KNOW Hotpoint ranges are like 5 star-rated by consumer rpt for eons already
It’s impossible to have a discussion with someone who labels your opinion asinine from the outset. Why bother? And if you don’t like name calling, you should stop doing it, dibs.
Yes slopey- now I’m done.
Re gold and commodities, I think each commodity has its own story but with the sometimes the macro story is an umbrella which arches over everything.
Now with the dollar getting a goose (no pun intended) on the Euro mess and the Korea mess, and the Chinese tightening monetary policy to curb inflation a bit, commodities have been getting the pull back that is natural in a raging bull market. About gold, I think it has lost some momentum but I really think that the factors supporting it in the first place are still in place, i.e. a hedge to a debased dollar and uncertain world economic growth. This is not just your dentist and a bunch of gold dealers, it is Central Banks buying up gold whenever it dips (IMF selling though so it can make a little money to help out those spendthrift Irish, Portuguese, Spanish, Greeks, etc…).
I have a nice fundamental research piece written by the
World Gold Council which address the bearish arguments you you have made Lech and does a beautiful job of analyzing supply demand. If you want it, please email me at Donatellaoffortgreene at hotmail dot com.

Re: fridge – I bought a ConServ refrigerator (Vestfrost) from a neighbor 9 years ago and absolutely love it!!! I’m not sure they’re available but the Summit 24″ wide x 79″ tall looks exactly the same. Holds more than you would expect since every inch of space is easily accessible. I brought it to my current apt which had a much more expensive Jenn-Air side-by-side with door dispenser. I got rid of the Jenn-Air and had a pantry built in the extra space next to my fridge.
It’s a joke, rob.

I don’t trust any economist who does op-eds for newspapers, especially NYT.
