Game Over
George Galloway superficially resembles the Brit appeasers who sucked up to Hitler before WW2. But they did it either for a misplaced sense of patriotism or to avoid another terrible war. Whereas according to the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs permanent subcommittee, Galloway did it to the mass-murderer Hussein for money, so he's toast.
Among the subcommittee's findings:
• Mr. Galloway personally asked for and received from Mr. Aziz and others eight allocations from 1999 to 2003 for the rights to 23 million barrels of oil.
• Amineh Abu-Zayyad, Mr. Galloway's wife, received $150,000 in the summer of 2000 from Fawaz Zureikat, the Jordanian businessman Mr. Galloway acknowledges was his business representative in Baghdad.
• The Mariam Appeal was given at least $446,000 in bank transfers from Mr. Zureikat. These transfers and the one to Mrs. Abu-Zayyad came almost immediately after Mr. Zureikat was paid commissions for deals he brokered under the oil-for-food program.
• Two unidentified oil traders interviewed by the subcommittee said Mr. Zureikat met with them in summer 2000 and that it was made clear to them that the Jordanian was marketing Iraqi oil on Mr. Galloway's behalf. The deal fell through.
• Mr. Zureikat also paid more than $1.6 million in illegal surcharges back to the Saddam government, which demanded bribes from those receiving favorable oil-for-food deals. The Senate investigators said it was highly unlikely Mr. Galloway did not know of the kickbacks, but found no direct proof of his involvement.
In an appendix tucked at the back of the report, it also alleges that Mr Galloway "knowingly made false or misleading statements under oath to a British court" during his successful libel trial against the Daily Telegraph.
Many Brits assume that US justice system is like their own - lefty judges, wrist-slap sentencing, massive presumptions of innocence, big emphasis on the rights of the accused. They're not ike this at all - they work through a painfully bureaucratic process of establishing if there is a case to answer. If they find one, they act quickly and brutally - as Galloway is about to find out.

At the 'Property Council of Australia' Xmas Brisbane Luncheon last week it was hard not to notice the pink elephant in the room …the flailing construction industry…probably the one industry hardest hit by the global economic downturn… , but despite the doom and gloom I did manage to find a few optimistic souls who continued to look onward and upward, knowing that there is no purpose in wallowing…
Their focus and in turn the focus of our conversation was the flurry of multi-residential projects beginning to come on line…now these are consultants I was talking to…people at the beginning of the construction pipeline… so the products of their excitement and their hard work will probably not be seen breaking ground for a little while yet… but I too would like to consider myself an optimist…most the time…and this is the best news I have heard in a long while… to coincide with these reports on a quick trip to Melbourne last week, while speaking with a local realtor, he confirmed that the last few months has seen the Melbourne residential market "going crazy". In some suburbs the average price had escalated so greatly in such a short space of time that several buyers had been priced out where only several months previous they could have quite comfortably afforded…
Meanwhile back on Brisbane's north side, the release of both Mosaic and Hamilton Harbour, Leighton projects, has been met with eager buyers realizing an incredible percentage of sales in only a few weeks for both developments.
Not one to be behind the band wagon, group Kildey , development company, our brother company, and our largest client at the moment, stands ready to launch Brooke Elise to market early 2010. As some of you may know, we have been working on the Brooke Elise project for over 6 years now; the design and development approval has matured from a 4 storey multi-residential building to a 20 storey multi-residential, with grand lobby space, function rooms, restaurant and recreational facilities…Over this time it has been our goal to stay up to date with the market demands, this is not just as simple as the finishes, but also includes what users want out of a space, this is important no matter who is buying, be it owner/occupier or investor, as the best returns always come from the most desired properties…and in turn the most desired properties are those that are a joy to live in…so livability and living demands are one of our biggest design considerations.
Located close to the CBD, the likely occupier is what in the past has been nicknamed a "YUPPY", but what we would like to think of as the UPWARDLY MOBILE… Professionals, Career oriented men and women, those who work hard and probably long hours, who want to substitute a commute for a few more hours enjoying the restaurants and cafes the inner City and Valley areas have to offer. They probably don't spend too many hours at home, but the time they do is about quality, being able to stop and appreciate the moment, maybe sit out on a deck and watch the world go by. In understanding our occupier we hope to design a space that compliments his/ her lifestyle and only goes to add to it , possibly even making it a little easier…. In doing this we take cues from many other developments and keep an eye on what is new on the market, what market expectations are and what does and doesn't sell…
In investigating the new developments that have come to market in the last 5 years in Brisbane, there seems to be a great disparity between them, in the interest of comparing apples and apples, we have only noted what we observed from the one bedroom apartments on offer.
The "Mosaic" development offers no balcony to their one bedroom apartments, in my mind a grave error no matter how presales are going, having lived in Dubai in a climate where temperatures are prohibitively hot a majority of the seasons and you are forced to live most the year round in air-conditioned circumstances, very very rarely having the opportunity to enjoy the balconies provided, and if you are lucky enough to escape cabin fever you really do learn to appreciate the fantastic weather Brisbane has to offer. Having lived in London in considerably different climatic conditions where balconies are less of a draw card, but cabin fever a similar threat, you learn to appreciate the other commodity living in Australia has up until now afforded, and that is space….now the windows in Mosaic above balcony height might slide back giving a "Juliet" balcony but I dare say with traffic noise and sun loading this is not going to be a pleasant space to live.
Charlottle Towers a Divine development offers something similar, what they call an "Alfreso" in most of their South East facing apartments, which is an undrained, tiled balcony like zone, that has no step down like a normal balcony, but has bi-folding glass windows above balustrade height at the edge of balcony and sliding glass doors between lounge and balcony. This at least offers additional space and a variety of living options…and possibly even enough room for a dining room table for 3 or four people, enough for guests.
The development at Kelvin Grove's Urban village has moved the laundry to the balcony, obviously as a response to Brisbane's perfect climatic conditions, negating the need for a dryer, they have also been mindful of other environmentally friendly design solutions, by adding two levels of doors to the apartment entry, a conventional fire door and a pair of louvered security doors , allowing breezes from open air lobbies to be drawn in through the apartments creating cross ventilation, and providing for natural ventilation a much more pleasant atmosphere for living.
MIRO, a Fortitude Valley development has maximized living space by reducing space in other areas, the bedroom is only as big as absolutely necessary, even borrowing the central corridor space to form part of the bedroom at the entry, with only a thin veil of chiffon curtain separating the two, what could have easily become a small one bedroom apartment becomes a studio apartment, no matter what the realtors say…
The laundry and bathroom each encroach on each other's space so much that little all else space remains for storage…the Kitchen in most cases is a galley setup , which considering that cooking in this apartment would most likely be for one, is ample, and the bench top carries on to become a sit-up bar dining table capable of accommodating 3 or four….the living space is tight but at least there is a balcony with privacy provided by mesh screening.
One item which seems to have not caught on during this time despite plenty of momentum initially was the SOHO, or for want of a longer explanation the "Study or Home Office". In the beginning these spaces where big enough to provide for what now functions in many apartments as the poorer second bedroom, despite the lack of natural ventilation. These small rooms had a translucent door panel which at least allowed for some reflected natural light if the doors ran parallel to the balcony, but in a few I've seen, developers have even gotten away with hiding them down a long dark corridor. In time the SOHO shrank as few could afford the luxury or justify the extra floor area for space that could not buy them another rung on the bedroom/bathroom/ car space ladder.
And last but not by any means least, there still remains the two big debates, WIR vs Mirrored Robe in the Bedroom debate & the bathtub vs shower debate.
Now I believe the the WIR vs mirrored cupboard within the bedroom is really a female vs male debate , most woman enjoying the space and options an open WIR affords, being able to peruse the wardrobe for the days selection of clothing and accessories, whereas a man is more likely to know where his slacks and his shirts are and pick one of each, either as a selection of what remains washed and ironed or what is closest (sorry gentlemen– but it is true….more often than not).
However I believe the bathtub vs shower debate I believe is quickly becoming a moot point, as water conservation and greener approaches to living are being encouraged through several state and federal government initiatives, I believe it won't be long before tax incentives or tax penalties will apply for those who do not convert to showers with water saving shower roses and possibly even timed water outlets.
So where do we land in response to all of these approaches…
Well we have a STUDY not a Soho, although big enough for guests it actually becomes part of the living space when not in use, and provides an entry space– unlike almost all our counterparts.
We have a WIR , men you will just have to learn to live with more options, we have decided to incorporate our laundry discreetly into our bathroom, which can operate as both bathroom and ensuite, with the closure of an additional slider. We have large linen cupboard and a closet to the study space providing for additional storage space usually forgotten in the smaller apartments, but very much needed….
And our kitchen is a galley not a dual bench, as we resolved our occupier was more likely to eat out, order in or be cooking for only a handful…not a football team…we DO have a balcony and we have treated it as the main dining space, as we believe our weather is too good to ignore, and our views probably an even better reason to enjoy the outside.
See for yourself….does the "YUPPY" in you like it ???

Participation of patients in medical research requires that a balance is struck—between anticipated benefits and potential harms of the new treatment being assessed, and with a view to the broader value of evidence accrued for guiding clinical practice and future research. Tensions can arise, however. Research in low-income settings has sometimes been perceived to be of greater potential benefit to those in high-income countries, where a drug may be marketed after licensing.

Whether it is a ruined fridge, damaged pipes, flooded basement, failed irrigation system, fish tank, equipment on your boat or an expensive vaccine - you know that the consequences of a power outage is damage to your property. Check out our new product - iSocket 3G - on this new website and see how it solves a problem of prompt power outage notifications.
Take the case of an ordinary refrigerator. If you experience a power off situation, your food will be spoil. But much more important, what if the power failure "spoils" your business. For example, uninterrupted power supply is needed for your server, which manages your accounting software or provides uninterrupted operation of your website.
Of course, in most critical applications, uninterrupted power supplies (UPS) are used, but this is not always the case. Also, these devices cannot provide continuous operation in the event of remote power off. Often you need to take other action according to the situation. But how do you know that the remote site has experienced a power off condition?
Do you want to be notified when the remote power off condition has occurred? In this case, the intelligent device iSocket, which has a power off alarm function, can help you.
This smart device is designed for remote control of appliances. You can command remote power on, remote power off via an SMS or a phone call. As soon as the system experiences power failure you will receive a power failure alarm.
Power failure may be caused by various factors: an overload on the power plant, a thunderstorm, cable breakage during excavations. Whatever the reason you will be notified as soon as the power failure occurred in your remote area and you can act accordingly. Do you want to receive a notification when the power was restored? Of course you do!
Below we consider several models of devices iSocket, which have a power outage alarm function and can notify you in the event of a power failure. This function of iSocket, called iSocket® Power Notifier - is another smart development among the wealth of iSocket® Smart Software available.
iSocket sends power outage alerts to several numbers.
Should power off notification be delivered to someone else besides you? Your engineer? Two of your engineers? A special service? No problem! A distinctive feature of iSocket® Power Notifier is that the power off alert can be sent to at least 10 different phone numbers!
The owners of refrigeration in supermarkets, warehouses, homes, abatoirs, frozen food suppliers, owners of servers - all can benefit from the power off notifications that iSocket sends.
The world's first 3G smart plug for power outages alerts with temperature monitoring features for fridges, fish tanks, etc.
A new way to monitor your home or office, with the features you have been asking for. With a new precision external waterproof sensor you can now measure the temperature of almost any element. New security and safety monitoring allow you to configure the relation between input and the main power socket. And of course power monitoring. You will get an alert when the power fails or is restored to your cell phone.
This product will not work in your country (United States of America). Buy iSocket 3G.
iSocket PowerWatch can do much more. It also allows remote power management, as well as features such as remote temperature monitoring with built-in sensor. You will receive a notification when temperatures exceed or drop below a certain value. The device can also serve as a remote security system when used with different iSocket Sensors. And of course this model can send power off notifications. It is available with different configurations of plugs and connectors for most countries.
This product will not work in your country (United States of America). Buy iSocket 3G.

We're nearly 20 months down the road now. 20 MONTHS. And I still can't really believe that I'm a real life Mummy. It's not a dream. It's really real. I'm somebody's everything. I'm somebody's constant. I'm somebody's morning, noon and night.
I am his everything but at 20 months we're well into the toddling stage and he is more independent now than he has ever been. He feeds himself, he walks, he pulls himself up onto the sofa, he climbs the stairs at bedtime (with me stood behind before I get a barrage of criticism!), he helps wash himself, he helps brush his teeth and he helps dress himself. It's become apparent to me that they need you less and less at such an early age.
I know, I know he's still tiny in comparison to having a grown up son, but I can see how this will be a constant thing now until the minute he wants to leave home. That realisation as a Mum, can make you a bit sad.
But with every negative feeling, I get a positive. For instance, I absolutely love having a toddler in the house. Don't get me wrong, the baby months were great but in comparison, dare I say it? They were a bit boring. They sleep, they eat, they burp, they poo, they gurgle. They look cute. They repeat the process. Before you shout at me, I love babies, I had one goddamnit, but toddlers really are ace!
They have so much character. They have their own personality and if anything like mine a whole dose of cheekiness to go with it. They don't gurgle, they laugh & sometimes it's so uncontrollable that I find myself in hysterics and we end up laughing at each other. For the first time since being a parent I feel like I have some company at home during the day. His presence is felt more as a person than that of a baby. He's the man of the house when Daddy isn't home. He'll dance to music, he'll attempt to sing to songs and he'll give you a high five when he does something brilliant.
But most recently, when it's time to sleep. He'll have his milk. He'll wipe his face and he'll scoot down off our bed and he'll toddle to his bedroom and stop by the side of his cot where he'll put his arms up to me to be picked up. Then when I ask he gives me a cuddle – a proper arms around your neck cuddle – and a kiss, and we say night night. And it's then I realise over and over that I have the most special thing in the world. Those kisses and cuddles are my favourite part of the day. It's not just me smothering yet more and more on him, I'm finally getting them back! It's the mummy moment I've been waiting for and it's a daily reminder that being a Mum is just bloody brilliant.
I am so, so lucky. My baby. My boy. My best friend for life.

Subhan-Allah, this Chapter makes me shiver!!
1. When the earth is shaken to it's (utmost) convulsion,
2. And the earth throws up it's burdens (from within),
3. And man cries (distressed): 'What is the matter with it?'-
4. On that Day will it declare her tidings:
5. For that thy Lord will have given it inspiration.
6. On that Day will men proceed in companies sorted out, to be shown the deeds that they (had done).
7. Then shall anyone who has done an atom's weight of good, see it!
8. And anyone who has done an atom's weight of evil, shall see it.
Mashaa'Allah, here in Abu Dhabi we have a radio channel called "Quran Kareem" and every night beginning at 8:30pm it recites the last 16 chapters from the Quran both in Arabic and English. It's great!! But for those of you who are not able to hear the Glorious Quran recited on TV or the radio, click here to be taken to a great website that provides MP3 format recitations by all of the shayookh!! And if you're are interested in memorizing along with the Arabic script, here is another great website that can def. help you out, inshaa'Allah!!

"Remember, only that which you can take with you when you leave the body is important. That means, except meditation, nothing is important. Except awareness, nothing is important, because only awareness cannot be taken away by death. Everything else will be snatched away, because everything else comes from without.
Only awareness wells up within. That cannot be taken away. And the shadows of awareness – compassion, love – they cannot be taken away. They are intrinsic parts of awareness. You will be taking with you only whatsoever awareness you have attained. That is your only real wealth. " Osho

Purpose: :
A number of studies have reported that lens proteins bind metal ions including redox active copper (Cu2+). Analysis of human lenses indicates the presence of copper at significant concentrations.Cu2+ catalyzes the production of oxygen reactive species and has been implicated as a catalyst for the autoxidation of SH groups in the lens. Here, we have used electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy (EPR) to characterize the Cu2+ binding site of A-crystallin and determine the identity of atoms coordinated to Cu2+.
Methods: :
We prepared samples of recombinant rat A-crystallin mixed with varying concentrations of Cu2+ at pH 7.2. Continuous -wave EPR analysis was carried out at multiple microwave frequencies at 77 K. Pulse Electron Spin Echo Envelope Modulation spectroscopy (ESEEM) was carried out at 10 K.
Results: :
The EPR spectrum of A-crystallin bound Cu2+ has with g=2.27 and A=172 G and is invariant with the amount of added Cu2+. These EPR parameters are consistent with three nitrogens and one oxygen donor atoms according to the Peisach-Blumberg plots, but no nitrogen superhyperfine lines were resolved at X-band (9.15 GHz). At a lower microwave frequency (S-band, 3.425 GHz), nitrogen superhyperfine lines were resolved in the g1 region. Simulation of the EPR spectrum gave a best fit with three nitrogens and 1 oxygen donor atoms. In comparison, addition of Cu2+ to Hsp16.5 leads to an EPR spectrum characteristic of non specific binding. The ESEEM spectrum for A-bound Cu2+ is typical of one strongly bound, equatorial nitrogen donor atom from the imidazole of a histidine amino acid. No resolved peaks are observed between 2.3 and 3.2 MHz where combination lines would indicate that more than one imidazole is bound to the same Cu2+ ion.
Conclusions: :
The binding of Cu2+ appears to be an evolved property of mammalian sHSP. Its likely function is to protect cells from oxidative damage. The age-related truncation of -crystallin in the lens may lead to loss of Cu2+ chelation and thus exposes the lens to oxidative damage.

Sign Up for Our Monthly River Cruise Newsletter

My mind settled into a calm state of bliss as I pedaled along yet another picturesque stretch of the Donauradweg, a bike path along the Danube River.
I quickly snapped to full attention, though, when a fuzzy flock of grazing sheep came into sight just ahead. I applied the brakes, dismounted and grabbed my camera. After a few quick snaps of the munching sheep and their fastidious tenders — a trio of black dogs — I jumped back on my bike and continued the ride.
I was with 16 other cyclists on a biking-themed Danube river cruise that sailed from Nuremberg, Germany, to Budapest, Hungary — one of the first voyages stemming from a partnership between cycling outfitter Trek Travel and Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours. Unlike some river sailings, this voyage had us hopping off our ship — Scenic Amber — each day to go spinning through the hills and countryside. For those who consider river cruising laid back and slow paced, this type of themed sailing is a game changer.
Our group of active travelers was composed of a family of four from Mexico City traveling with two teens, along with couples from California, Texas, Utah, Missouri and Melbourne, Australia. We all bonded quickly while cycling more than 150 miles on rides that ranged from 20 to 60 miles daily (plus a brisk 12-mile route on the final day to end the trip in Budapest).
Active river cruises like this one are growing in popularity, and clients with an affinity for biking, hiking or other forms of fitness can get their fill while also enjoying the pleasures available on a luxury cruise, such as boutique accommodations, gourmet food, entertainment and excursions in culture- and history-rich destinations like Nuremberg; Bratislava, Slovakia; and Vienna. (See this page's sidebar for information on other river cruise line offerings.)
Debbie Netto Jonker, a cruiser on my sailing from Melbourne, booked her active itinerary as part of a charter group sailing alongside passengers experiencing Scenic's traditional itinerary.
"I think it's magical," she said. "You only unpack once, and if I want a break from the riding, I'll join the boaties on their tours."
Trek Travel guides took good care of us throughout the trip by providing high-tech bikes, giving daily route talks and organizing group meals at restaurants both onboard and on land.
Additionally, daily riding options offered choices for those who wanted more challenging hills or longer mileage, or for those who preferred a more moderate day of cycling. Trek Travel also offered electric bikes that gave a motorized boost on the hills. One guide rode with the group, and another drove a support van that carried bikes in addition to fresh fruit, cookies, trail mix and a cooler full of beer, water and sports drinks.
Scenic and Trek Travel offer these biking cruises on the Danube and Rhine rivers; 2018 departures are set for May, July and August.

The Texas Rangers took somewhat of a chance on Ian Desmond over the offseason, inking him to a 1-year, $8 million deal to learn LF. Expectations were low after Desmond floundered in his contract year with the Washington Nationals, but obviously, he is now a key piece of a Rangers' lineup with a lot of talent.
We can talk about how good Ian Desmond has been on the field, but instead of rehashing that, let's look at how Desmond has given the Rangers an opportunity to make a big trade that can secure the AL West this year.
Currently, the Rangers are 24-19, (1.5 games behind the first-place Seattle Mariners), but the Rangers have lost several games due to a disappointing pitching staff, while (would-be) sluggers Prince Fielder and Adrian Beltre fail to maximize their potential as a middle-of-the-order combo. Developing players like Rougned Odor and Nomar Mazara have largely driven the Texas offense, with Desmond and an improved Elvis Andrus. And now that Shin-Soo Choo is off the DL, the Rangers offense is trending upward.
Without Desmond, the Rangers' would likely be forced to start Delino DeShields in CF, and though his defense has improved a bit, his 60 wRC+ would hinder the production of an already sluggish lineup, that features a dreadful Prince Fielder (42 wRC+) and a good-but-no-longer-great Adrian Beltre (98 wRC+) in the middle of the order, as well as a slumping Mitch Moreland (85 wRC+) and the light-hitting catching duo of Bryan Holaday (76 wRC+) and Bobby Wilson (74 wRC+).
To put it simply, a Desmond-less Rangers' team might have one too many holes in the lineup to ignore. There isn't, however, much room to add an impact bat.
There was plenty of preseason talk of a Jonathan Lucroy-to-Texas trade, which would have certainly boosted the Rangers' offensive profile, but it never materialized. To this point, Desmond's bat has reduced the need to find a C who can hit. And given that Bryan Holladay has done an admirable job filling in for Robinson Chirinos, initially garnering positive defensive ratings and 76 wRC+ (2016 average catcher wRC+: 81), Lucroy (or other starting-caliber catchers) should be out of Texas' price range. The Rangers should still have some impetus to acquire another catcher for depth though.
Currently, Mazara has moved to left to accommodate Shin-Soo Choo, giving the Rangers' a solid outfield that can likely produce on both sides of the ball on a daily basis. With a full outfield and Ryan Rua and Drew Stubbs on the bench, DeShields can take his time in the minors, and knowing Josh Hamilton will eventually come off the DL, the Rangers won't need to address their outfield situation in major fashion, barring any injuries.
The infield is also obviously set, so without a need to replace a starting player, the front office can turn its sights toward a disappointing pitching staff. Let's look at the healthy major league roster first.
|Starting Pitchers
|Relief Pitchers
|Robinson Chirinos
|1B Mitch Moreland*
|LF Nomar Mazara*
|Cole Hamels
|Sam Dyson
|Bryan Holaday
|2B Rougned Odor*
|CF Ian Desmond
|Yu Darvish
|Shawn Tolleson
|3B Adrian Beltre
|RF Shin-Soo Choo*
|Colby Lewis
|Jake Diekman*
|SS Elvis Andrus
|OF Josh Hamilton*
|Derek Holland*
|Keone Kela
|UTIL Hanser Alberto
|OF Drew Stubbs
|Martin Perez
|Matt Bush
|DH/1B Prince Fielder*
|Cesar Ramos*
|Tony Barnette
*denotes player is left-handed
italics denote player is currently on the Disabled List
The pitching staff isn't actually as clear cut, and the point of this is to indicate that currently, adding pitching will pay the biggest dividends. Mitch Moreland isn't the long-term plan at 1B, but he also doesn't have a great fit as a trade piece. Rougned Odor has gained legitimacy as an everyday 2B, making his departure (even after his suspension) difficult to envision. Beltre, Andrus, Fielder, and Choo are obviously locked in at their respective positions, as long as they're healthy, and Desmond and Mazara round out a pretty good outfield.
Hamels and Darvish (who is scheduled to make his season debut this Saturday) make a great 1-2 punch, but the rest of the rotation doesn't stack up nearly as well. Meanwhile in relief, Shawn Tolleson and Tom Wilhelmsen have both imploded, posting 9.20 and 9.98 ERAs, respectively, saddling the Rangers' bullpen as a whole with a 5.59 ERA/4.63 xFIP.
Dyson, Diekman, and Barnette have been solid so far, but the rest of the cast shuffled in and out of games has not had the same consistency. In all, the Rangers' bullpen has earned -1.7 fWAR, good for 29th in the league, above only a historically bad Reds' bullpen, but some good pieces are there. If Wilhelmsen can return to form and Matt Bush proves to be legitimate, the Rangers might prefer to avoid a big outside addition. Considering 2015 revelation Keone Kela should be back around the All-Star break as well, there's reason to believe the bullpen will be fine without major intervention, meaning the rotation is the crux of a potential playoff run.
So what should the Rangers do?
The trade deadline is still more than a month away, so how teams shape up until then will effect who is available, yet Tyson Ross of the San Diego Padres still seems to me an ideal target for Texas. Ross, though he has spent the majority of the season injured, is more than capable of filling the 3rd spot in the rotation when he returns to action. In dealing with the Padres, the Rangers could also try to acquire C Derek Norris. At this point though, Norris's presence creates depth more than anything else, unless his bat recovers from an ice cold stretch. But it's important that the option is there.
The Rangers may be better off trying to pry SP Andrew Cashner away from the Padres as well as Ross, though, so that is what we'll explore.
The article linked above ponders a deal that is essentially Ross and Norris for Joey Gallo and a prospect, but Gallo has cut his strikeout rate nearly in half this season. Because of this, Gallo's value is likely, and justifiably, through the roof. In my mind, he should be pretty much untouchable despite his path to the majors being blocked at several positions. Additionally, the Padres don't look close to becoming a competitive team. They could be sufficiently interested by a larger package of talent that isn't quite as close to making an impact in the immediate future.
Proposed Trade:
|Rangers receive:
|Padres receive:
|Tyson Ross, RHP
|Eric Jenkins, OF
|Andrew Cashner, RHP
|Josh Morgan, C/INF
|Michael Matuella, RHP
|Martin Perez, LHP
Lefty-swinging OF Eric Jenkins has well above-average speed and shows advanced base-stealing instincts at just 19 years old, stealing 23/27 in only 36 games this year. Jenkins hasn't started hitting well yet in Low-A, slashing .208/.265/.292 at the moment, but he profiles as a true CF and more than a slap hitter; as Jenkins has some pop that should improve as he fills out his frame.
Matuella, at 22, is an interesting prospect because he wasn't highly touted until after college, where he developed quickly. In Matuella's junior year, he was inconsistent, showing flashes of dominance before Tommy John surgery. This knocked Matuella's draft-day value way down, but there's plenty of talent in this arm. You can get a good sense of Matuella's potential in this article.
Morgan also comes with some intrigue, as he's already logged significant time as a 2B, 3B, and a SS at only 20 years old, and also has some experience catching. That plan however, has been suspended, while Morgan plays out the 2016 season mostly at 3B. His bat isn't anything special, but Morgan has a good arm, which is likely why he is getting reps at catcher, where he actually profiles pretty well if he can handle the defensive workload. Even if he doesn't fully develop as a hitter (currently slashing .252/.335/.364 in High Desert), Morgan could be a valuable super-utility player down the line.
The Rangers would also send over Martin Perez, who is a decent pitcher but also probably worse than you think. Perez's 1.3 K%-BB% this season is second-worst among qualified starters, and it isn't because he has wild, untamed stuff like "leader" Vordano Ventura. Perez is still just 25 though and should be serviceable on a developing Padres squad. His contract is interesting and possibly prohibitive however, as Perez is owed $2.9MM this year, $4.4MM in 2017, then has 3 consecutive team options for $6M, $7.5M, and $9M through 2020 with buyouts of $2.4M, $0.8M, and $0.2M, respectively.
Final Thoughts
The Rangers do give up a lot of talent here, including a guy with significant major league experience, but they retain their very best prospects. In return, the Rangers land Tyson Ross for his arbitration years, giving them one of the best #3 starters around, and also nab Andrew Cashner for the rest of 2016, a pitcher with still unrealized potential. That's not an encouraging description for a pitcher, but a change of scenery (and coaches) has helped guys in the past – and it doesn't hurt to start with the tools Cashner has.
Texas has leaned on its defense and succeeded with a lineup that has limped along at times, but slumping guys like Fielder and Beltre can put the offense on their back when they get hot. A streaky, inconsistent lineup isn't ideal, but without jeopardizing the future, the Rangers could roll into the playoffs with a 4-man rotation of Darvish, Hamels, Ross, and any one of Cashner, Lewis, Holland, or A.J. Griffin. That is pretty enticing.

text: I have several of the Ridgid 9.6 volt screw guns and love them. Have tried several other brands and updates trying to replace it with something more current, but I keep going back to this one because it works. Several of my tools are older and have no lights for dark places or in spots where it might be helpful when making cuts, etc. I was in the local hardware store and saw these small LED lights with swivel headed flex lines that allow you to pinpoint where you want or need lighting (they had them in what I'll call Ridgid orange, DeWalt yellow, Bosch blue, Hitachi green and maybe a lavender for those so inclined to match up to their tools). I removed the pocket clip that came with it and replaced it with velcro strips and put the attaching velcro on the tools. They work like a charm in getting light right where you need it. I enclose a few pictures of the attached lights and a picture showing the size. Unfortunately, when I took the picture with the flash it all but eliminated the LED light that was being cast, but I'm sure you can use a little imagination there. Also, it didn't jiggle on the jig saw and worked fine on top of the 18 volt impact driver where there is no light. Didn't need it on the circular saw (even though there's plenty of room to attach one), nor did I put it on the recip saw. Caulking gun was never a consideration for lighting. The LEDs cost $4 each, fit right in the space above the trigger on the screwdriver and the fingers never interfere or touch the light. Voila, my tools have light.

I can't be termed as a veteran trader on the FX Markets by any imagination but I did give it my best shot for over five years.
After spending thousands on scammy products and getting involved with promises of making outrageous fortunes, I was fortunate to come across a seasoned FX Trader, Dan, who used to deal currencies for a bank over in Hong Kong.
I did ask him on our first meeting, Is Forex Trading a Good Idea? – His response was, it works for a few but most lose. Speculation regarding 95% of traders lose is unfortunately the reality.
According to Dan, the reason most traders fail is they concentrate on short term charts without looking at the overall trend. This can cost you dearly.
If the Daily trend conforms to the Weekly trend and you trade with the trend you are putting the probability in your favour. Bear in mind, as news comes out, the markets can change with unpredictable uncertainty with immediate effect.
The best plan is to let the banks and institutions trade the news and let the individual traders join the new trend on the pullbacks. Never try and fight the institutions, you will only find a black hole.
The two trade plans I learnt and traded with:
I learnt to trade two strategies with him:
- The Daily retracement strategy using the 20 Moving Average (m/a)
- The Weekly retracement plan using the 20 m/a
The Daily retracement strategy involves:
- Make sure the weekly trend relates to the daily trend
- Wait for the pullback to the daily 20 m/a
- Flip over to the hourly chart and wait for the hourly 20 m/a to cross the hourly 80 m/a (the 4 hour 20 m/a) and enter the trade back with the trend.
The Weekly plan was similar but taken from the Weekly chart.
- Wait for a pullback to the Weekly 20 m/a,
- Go to the 4 hour chart, wait for the 4 hour 20 m/a to cross the 4 hour 50 m/a.
- The weekly pivot has to be below the candles for an uptrend and above the candles for a down trend.
- Wait for the retracement back towards the weekly pivot and enter the trade back with the weekly trend.
The Daily plan involved looking through charts every day whilst only checking once a week for the Weekly strategy.
The Daily strategy is explained here:
The Weekly retracement – Trade from the weekly 20 m/a
Before contemplating dealing live with this plan, follow Dan's rules:
- Set-up your charts with the indicators on a MT4 Platform
- Learn the system thoroughly to fully understand the entry points
- Never deviate from the plan. More plans = more losses
- Never enter a trade without a stop-loss – Breaking news can hurt
- Always double a demo account prior to dealing live
- Find a Broker who allows you to start off with a low cost per pip
- Never trade the news – Leave that to the big boys
- Accept losses
I used GKFX as my Broker as they allowed you to trade at a low cost per pip.This is beneficial when dealing with Weekly charts.
Your stop loss on the 4 hour entry can quite easily be in excess of 100 pips. It needs to be below the last low or above the last high depending on the trend for safety.
This amounts up if you're unfortunate to have a few losses in a row.
I never entered a trade on a particular currency if important news regarding that country was breaking that day. We used the Forex Factory calendar to check the red news alerts.
What currencies did I deal in?
All the majors against the dollar and Commodities
Weekly chart indicators:
- Exponential 20 m/a
- 50 m/a
- 6 m/a (Daily 20 m/a approx)
4 hour indicators:
- Exponential 20 m/a
- 50 m/a
- Weekly Pivot (without s1,s2,s3 or r1,r2,r3 showing)
The weekly pivot is a great indicator as it's based on a 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level from the highs and lows of the previous week. All markets pullback on every time frame and this pivot provides a good level but bear in mind due to the unpredictability of the currency markets they don't always pullback to it, sometimes they go through it.
As long as the weekly pivot is below or above the candles after the 4 hour 20/50 cross dependant on your trend I was happy. I'd just wait for a few Heikin-Ashi candles that pullback.
Here's how it works:
I would first look at the Weekly chart to determine the trend.
Gold Weekly Chart:
The yellow line is the 20 m/a. The blue line – the 50 m/a. The black line following the candles is a 6 m/a which equates to roughly a daily 20 m/a.
I like to see the candles come back through the yellow line without the black line crossing.
Where the arrow is, I am happy. We are only looking for long trades as the candles have retraced back to the Weekly 20 m/a and the black line hasn't crossed.
I wait for a pullback to the 20 m/a and go to the 4 hour Chart and wait for the set-up.
Gold 4 Hour Chart
The yellow line is the 4 hour 20 m/a, the blue line is the 50 m/a. The Weekly Pivot is purple.
I look for the yellow line to cross the blue line. The Weekly Pivot has to be below the candles. I wait for a few red Heikin-Ashi pullback candles and enter long.
The reason I used Heikin-Ashi candles are they are more of a trending candle. Charts look a lot smoother than normal candles.
How profitable was I? – An Honest Answer.
You've hit a vary rare page where honesty delivers to this answer.
I traded for over five years. I had a very professional approach to dealing currencies. I stuck religiously to my plan, enjoyed the winning days, accepted the losing ones.
In among working this plan I demo'd various popular strategies including, RSI, CCI, Stochastics, Daily and Monthly Pivots, Head and shoulders, Double tops and bottoms, moving off support and resistance levels using naked charts, etc, etc.
I never doubled a demo account using these strategies so there was no point trading live with them – Period!
I was profitable many times using this Weekly trending plan but overall, ended up with losses roughly equating to my wins. I had to admit after working the markets for so long, a sustained living didn't materialise. I had to make a final decision and leave my Currency role.
What about you?
If you are thinking over having a go – Good Luck, tread very carefully!
I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. It's by far the most stressful job online. A role littered with scams, unscrupulous people pumping out duff information, playing their own book and believe it or not, even the large companies are involved here.
Best advice – listen to no one! There is no Centralised Exchange, hence the door is left wide open for scammers to enter – there seems to be no Governance to kick them out.
I turned my attention to start earning an income from blogging. Looking back it's the best decision I have made.
Notice my website name 'Stress-Free Income Building' – It solely derives from my avenue in the currency markets.
All I do is create web posts. Each post I write has the potential to deliver income day in day out. I write a couple of posts a week – Multiply these over a year and I'm sure you can see the potential.
Daily, I accumulate my income without any stress or losses associated with my previous job. I've created a wonderful lifestyle of happy days – It sure beats looking at charts all day, I can assure you of that.
If you fancy building a stress-free income, forget currency trading – you won't find it there. Have a look at Getting Started, maybe you fancy doing the same – It's the #1 recommendation for creating a business online today.
Absolutely no previous experience is required for this role. You're taught right from the basics through to success. That's how I and over 600,000 other members got started. This company are experts in helping you turn your passion into an online business success.
Don't try this alone, learn from the ones who know exactly how it's done.
It's completely free to start, stress-free, legit and great fun to do – something you won't find in the FX markets.
Thanks for looking.
Good luck with whatever you do – be careful,


text: These are 4 of a 20 frame fight. While they faught I had to shoot into the light a bit, but as it ended one chased the other in a direction that allowed a little better angle. Hence the light in the last. They ran on the top of the water long enough for 4 or five frames. The whole thing was rather violent and yet comical at the same time.

If you still haven't found the perfect place to celebrate the heart's day, then better check out Chelsea Grand Cafe in Serendra, Bonifacio Global City. It's just across Saboten. And in case you're wondering, although Chelsea Grand Cafe might seem similar to Chelsea Kitchen (since they're from the same group of restaurants), Chelsea Grand Cafe offers different dishes. More of Western and European.
The restaurant will welcome you with a grand door which I really love. It's so inviting. Upon entering, you'll notice the rustic but classy ambiance of the resto which is based on the Chelsea Market (hence the name) in New York. At the center, there are shelves filled with products such as breads and pasta that you can order.
While waiting for your meal, they'll serve you with a complimentary bread, buttered garlic and vinaigrette.
Creamy clam chowder in bread bowl (Php 275)
Creamy truffled mushroom and double smoked bacon pasta (Php 475)
Grilled baby calamari chiperones (Php 295)
Crispy garlic and rosemary chicken wings (Php 420)
Clockwise from left: Green mango and watermelon smoothie (Php 175), Lemonade, Ripe mango and passion fruit smoothie (Php 175), Banana nutella frappe (Php 240)
NY style chocolate chip cookie dough cheese cake (Php 310)
Chelsea peach melba (Php 275)
There's a lot to love about Chelsea Grand Cafe. Favorite picks include their chiperones and chicken wings. And I must say that their NY Cookie Dough Cheesecake is a total killer. You just can't hate it. There's something about it that's so addicting. And yes, it's the same cheesecake in Chelsea Kitchen (it's available in almost every Raintree Restaurant).
The Fondue Love
This Valentine's Day, Chelsea Grand Cafe is offering a special fondue for you and your partner. You can choose between cheese and chocolate (or why not both?). What's special about this fondue (aside from the awesome presentation) is that it can make your date extra special. How? Just imagine this setup: you take some of the meat, dip it in the cheese fondue and tease your partner. Now who wouldn't love that seriously?
For Php 795, you can order the Garlic Cheese Fondue which is this large serving of meat and veggies paired with garlic cheese dip. It includes bacon-wrapped asparagus, shrimps, mushrooms, cauliflower, marble potatoes to name a few.
If you are the sweet tooth or if you just want to be extra sweet, you can go for the Chocolate Orange Fondue (Php 550). It has dried apricots, waffles, marshmallows, nuts, fresh fruits, cookies and brownies paired with molten Callebaut Chocolate with Orange.
Overall, the experience was amazing. You just have to love the fondue. It was exciting and new and something to look forward to this V-day. But the celebration doesn't stop there. They currently have an on-going promo wherein you may win a special gift.

For more than a year, news reports have detailed the vast power and influence that speculation investors have wielded on oil futures and prices at the pump.
A new report due out in August, however, goes even further in assessing blame for the rapid swings Americans experienced in diesel and gas prices.
The U.S. Commodities Futures Trading Commission is poised to release a report as early as next week, which is expected to suggest that price runs in 2008 and earlier were driven more by commodity traders than by supply and demand – even more so than earlier investigations have revealed.
Speculation doesn't require traders to ever own any of the actual commodities, and investors often need to possess 5 five percent of the amount they're trading, as opposed to 50 percent in general stock trading. Traders try to buy before price increases, and sell before prices drop to reap profits without taking possession of the commodity.
A 2008 CFTC report blamed oil price fluctuations mainly on supply and demand, something that CFTC Commissioner Bart Chilton recently told The Wall Street Journal was based on "deeply flawed data."
Mike Joyce, OOIDA director of legislative affairs, told Land Line Now that the report is expected to show a positive correlation between rising prices and Wall Street investors betting that prices will go up.
"Essentially it's like wagering. It's like going to Vegas and wagering on a baseball game," Joyce said. "They've got studies that are showing it's much more closely tied to this wagering than previously thought."
Elected officials have introduced several bills aimed at closing the "Enron loophole," which allowed overseas trading of U.S. oil and preceded huge increases in oil speculation over the last six years.
Companion legislation called the Energy Market Manipulation Prevention Act has been introduced in both chambers of congress. U.S. Rep. Bart Stupak, D-MI, has introduced House Resolution 2869, and Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-VT, has introduced Senate Bill 1225.
Joyce said that Rep. Peter DeFazio, D-OR, who chairs the Highways and Transit Subcommittee, has floated the idea of taxing oil speculation as a way to help bridge the proposed transportation bill's $450 billion budget gap for the Highway Trust Fund.
"It's really intriguing to look at this as an avenue to build money for the Trust Fund," Joyce said. "Chairman DeFazio understands the impact of this on the end user, and is trying to minimize the negative impact for the trucker, the automobile driver, etc., when it comes to fuel prices."
In 2000, Congress approved the so-called "Enron loophole," which allowed for energy commodity trading to be done in markets without government regulation, such as overseas trading.

These two images were taken around Banff about six months ago. I've been going through some of the images from that trip re-processing with ACR 7. For some reason, I didn't process these two images originally but having done so now I'm interested to hear what people think. In particular, I'd like your views on the composition.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is RateGravity?
RateGravity is a modern mortgage service that uses technology to save consumers tens of thousands of dollars when financing their home. RateGravity collects prospective borrower's information in the most efficient and least invasive manner possible, allowing consumers to learn whether they will be approved for financing, and if so, exactly how much they can afford to borrow.
RateGravity provides complete transparency into the range of interest rates available for the consumer's particular needs and exclusive access to a network of fully vetted lenders. All RateGravity customers are assigned a non-commissioned personal mortgage expert from our on-demand mortgage concierge.
Is RateGravity a Lender?
No. We are an on-demand mortgage service that uses technology to help borrowers secure financing from fully vetted, local lenders. Because we assist with the mortgage qualification process, we are licensed in every state we do business.
Will using RateGravity affect my credit?
To check the rates and terms you qualify for, RateGravity utilizes a soft credit inquiry that does NOT affect your credit score. We do NOT require you to provide your Social Security Number (SSN) to use our service.
Which types of properties are eligible?
RateGravity supports primary residences, second homes and investment properties, including single-family and multi-family homes, condos, and townhomes.
How much of a down-payment is required?
RateGravity supports down-payments as low as 3%.
How much does RateGravity cost?
RateGravity is completely free to use. We are paid a placement fee by lenders should you elect to close your loan through RateGravity. Depending on your loan selection, lenders may charge customary third-party closing costs.
What are third party closing costs?
Closing costs are the fees associated with closing your new mortgage. These typically include fees for an appraisal, title insurance, title search, transfer taxes, attorney, property taxes, homeowners insurance, and government recording fees. These fees vary depending on the transaction type and the location of the property. RateGravity will provide you with a Loan Estimate for your particular transaction.
Is my personal information secure?
The security of your data is RateGravity's highest priority. All information transmitted to and from our website is encrypted in accordance with industry standards while in transit and at rest on our servers. In addition, we do not collect sensitive personal information such as your social security number or your personal financial documents. We never share any of your personal information without your express consent and lenders with whom you do elect to share information can only access your data through our secure environment.
Who are RateGravity's participating lenders?
RateGravity works with reputable and financially secure local mortgage lenders. Each of our participating lenders undergoes a rigorous screening process and agrees to RateGravity's service level standards. In addition, we share all customer feedback and reviews with our lenders.
How are my savings calculated?
The estimated payment savings is based on a 30 year fixed rate loan on a single family, primary residence of your chosen loan amount. The estimated monthly payment does not include taxes and insurance premiums; actual payment may be greater. APR = Annual Percentage Rate. The APR includes 1.25% in loan closing costs and no "points". Actual closing costs may vary. All payment savings are net of RateGravity's fee. RateGravity is paid a fee for its services by lenders, not borrowers. The fee is one quarter of one percent.

I checked, you really don't know shit.Once more it happened.
I go about my normal business of generally being a tome of wisdom to the world and explaining to everyone how everything is a bunch of lies and scientific explanations are just elaborate coverups, when it suddenly hits me. there's a REASON you don't know anything... you see, you don't know shit about intelligence!
That's okay, after all, I AM a the mentor to those that seek help, and as such I have devised a quick 3-experiment plan to understanding the fundamental nature of this otherwise crystal clear concept.
