Working in Saudi Arabia?
Saudi Arabia: Benefits and Business Culture
Working Women
Expat spouses need their own work visa if they want to take up employment in Saudi Arabia. Female expat spouses who accompany their husbands to Saudi Arabia don't have it easy. It is, however, possible for foreign women to find temporary work in fields like healthcare, teaching (with the right qualifications), or real estate. A local recruitment agent may be able to help you find a job and sort out your work permit. Please note that you always need your guardian's (read: husband's) official permission to take up employment.
If you are a native English speaker and have relevant qualifications, you can apply for work as an English teacher in a private school or a language school. Once you have a work visa, you can also give private English tuition, for which there is great demand. The British Council in Saudi Arabia also recruits and employs English teachers and may be able to give you further advice on the subject.
Big Salary, Big Bonus: The Benefits of Being an Expat
Working in Saudi Arabia comes with some considerable financial benefits. Not only may salaries be higher than for the same kind of work in Europe or in the US, but your net income receives a significant boost through the absence of personal income tax.
As there is no social security system, either (at least not for foreigners), there will be virtually no deductions from your monthly salary. However, you may want to make good use of your high income: Not only do you have to take out private health insurance, but you should also contribute to a personal or corporate pension plan during your time working in Saudi Arabia.
Another perk awaiting expat employees upon conclusion of their contract is the "end of contract" bonus, which they are usually entitled to after two or more years of working for the same employer. This indemnity can amount to a significant sum. However, Arab companies are slowly moving away from employing expats for limited periods of one or two years only and are beginning to offer long-term contracts instead.
Business Culture: Keeping it in the Family
Non-Muslim expats working in Saudi Arabia must accept that religion is the underlying principle in all aspects of life. Allah and his Prophet are everywhere, even in business meetings. There is no strict division between religion and other areas of life. Religious rituals are to be observed, never mind if you're in the middle of important business negotiations. If Allah wills it, the deal will be concluded. If it doesn't work out, it simply wasn't meant to be.
The other characteristic of doing business in Saudi Arabia that Westerners often fail to appreciate is the importance of family ties. Nepotism is not a sign of corruption but of a healthy business structure. After all, why wouldn't you give a responsible position in your company to someone you can trust, and who can you trust if not a member of your family?
This policy is aided by the fact that many businesses are built around family units, with senior positions often being held by senior family members. The importance of maintaining a wide network of connections and contacts can therefore not be stressed enough. You never know whose favorite nephew you are talking to! On a similar note, entertaining is an important part of Saudi business culture. You need to invest time into the relationship between you and your business partners.
Give Generously, Receive Graciously
If you are in a senior position and need to give instructions to your team, make sure you do so in an unambiguous manner. Subordinates may not be used to showing initiative, nor may they be willing to interpret incomplete directions given to them.
Even if you do not converse in Arabic with your business partners, try to mimic its characteristics. Arabic is sometimes a very flowery language, so don't shy away from compliments and flattery that may seem exaggerated in your own language or culture. The rule of thumb is: Give generously and receive graciously!
For similar reasons, people in Saudi Arabia are often reluctant to be the bearer of bad news. It is important that you learn to read between the lines and keep a sense of perspective on overly positive reactions.
Saudi business meetings can seem like a shambolic affair, with no clearly defined agenda or time limit. Sometimes, several meetings take place in the same location at the same time. You can raise your voice in one of those meetings to show interest and engagement, but not indignation. Always make sure to establish strong eye contact when talking to people to indicate your interest in them and what they have to say.

The Knesset on Monday approved an amendment to the Rules of Procedure, according to which the chairperson of a plenary debate will be authorized to immediately remove from the hall an MK who disrupts the speech of a foreign dignitary, without having to call them to order three times, as is the protocol in normal debates.
Forty-four MKs voted in favor of the change, 20 opposed it.
The issue was debated last February by the House Committee, headed by MK Yoav Kisch (Likud), after Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein had complained about the absence of MKs from plenary sessions and their inappropriate conduct during special assemblies at the Plenum.
"Often times I found myself asking foreign presidents not to speak at the Knesset for fear of a disgraceful outburst," Speaker Edelstein said.
The issue was revisited by the House Committee in May, when Speaker Edelstein noted that the White House's preference was for President Donald Trump to deliver his speech in the Knesset during his visit to Israel, "but it was made clear to his staff that it could not be guaranteed that his speech would not be interrupted, so the item was removed from the agenda."

Users of your site are usually searching for something specific, whether it's a product you sell or some relevant information.
The best websites enable them to complete this task, while ensuring their needs coincide with the needs of the website owner. To this end our UX and CRO experts will design a site that looks great, is easy for your customers to navigate and runs smoothly.

If this sounds like something your business is in need of then don't hesitate to get in touch today on 0161 402 3170.
While UX and CRO are complementary practices, they have different end goals. UX focuses on helping the user complete his objectives while CRO focuses on encouraging the user to complete the objectives of the website owner.
do I need UX AND CRO?
In a word: yes!
Providing a great user experience should always be your first consideration. Visitors who can find what they need on your site will be more likely to become leads and customers. They are also more likely to return to your website and recommend it to their connections.
An easy-to-navigate website can help to build your trust levels with searchers and customers as it signifies you care about the overall experience you provide. In addition, delivering a great user experience demonstrates to Google that your website should be ranking prominently in search results for relevant keyword searches. Our UX testing works out where you could improve, helping to inform our strategy and process for improving your site.
However, it's not all so selfless, which is where CRO comes in.
Optimising for conversions means you guide users of your site into taking action in some way. The design, layout, language and process of becoming a customer all needs to be optimised to ensure your website usability is the best it can be. Our conversion rate experts look at where people drop off from your website and endeavour to understand the psychology of the web visitor.

Whilst it can be easy to get quick, short term results, I-COM have used their expertise to execute a long term strategy that has grown our business substantially.
I-COM achieved a fully optimised rebranded website for Accessoryo, transforming the design for modern technologies without diminishing our original appeal, in a highly professional and organised manner. Through concrete research, I-COM fulfilled a customer research campaign that enabled shoppers to provide feedback, and implemented this information to revamp the website, resulting in a cleaner, sleeker and easy to navigate site. Safe to say we are very happy!
As a small team, we require agencies to be more than just a 'third party', we need to extend our in-house team with experts. I-COM have certainly become the extension of our team we require, and are dedicated to making the project a success. I-COM is big enough to house real talent, which gets results and yet small enough to offer a personalised hands on approach, it's the perfect balance for our business.
What has stood out about I-COM is their ability to work with us and dedicate a great deal of time, and attention to detail- to achieve the best possible return. As a client it is easy to forget the intricate in-depth knowledge that we have of our products we take for granted that can be the mechanics of a successful campaign and I really feel I-COM have spent the time getting to grips with the Christy towel and bed linen collection to ensure they have the knowledge to deliver a successful campaign.
I-COM did an amazing job of managing the project (and me), and have been a joy to work with from the initial sales pitch through to the implementation and review stages. I'd strongly recommend them to any business.
We are delighted with our decision to use I-COM for our website design. I-COM successfully converted our initial concepts into a finished product that we and our customers love! The level of support we've received has been truly fantastic, and the team have been on hand from day one to ensure everything ran seamlessly. We are looking forward to continuing to work with I-COM and would have no hesitation in recommending them.
I-COM delivers SEO, PPC, brand marketing and web development for us - that wide digital marketing strategy encompasses everything we want to achieve across our digital channels. The last 12 months has been a record year, we've had a 588% increase in fees - a lot of which can be attributed back to the work we've done with I-COM. As an agency, I-COM is ahead of the curve - anticipating what Google and other search engines will be looking for in the future and making recommendations on how best to react.
Thank you for the absolutely fantastic job that you have done for Jonathan Fawcett Limited. I am extremely grateful for everything that you have done for us during the last few months. I-COM has given us exciting new direction and at the same time captured the aspects of the company that are worth preserving. Business is so often about making choices, and we definitely made the right decision in choosing I-COM!
The new website places the customer at its core, using our extensive knowledge of our audience to make sure it responds to the way they shop for shoes and accessories today.
In my experience of working with website designers, CMS providers, hosting companies and SEO experts, I have found that in my relatively short time of working with ICOM, the skill levels, professionalism and general likeability is excellent. Nothing is too much trouble to explain and the members of the team that I have worked with always welcome my ideas and input when working together to improve our website.
I-COM have worked with Clough & Willis for over 10 years and have been instrumental in developing our websites, online presence and our SEO projects. We have an excellent relationship built on their ability to understand our sector and translate that to our specific business needs and the requirements of the project at hand. Our most recent website redesign is easy to use, highly configurable, responsive and optimised for mobile and our ongoing digital marketing ensures that we remain highly ranked within search for terms relating to our field of work which helps continue driving our business forward.
I-COM has been an integral part of making our brand work, and it wouldn't have been possible without their support. They have really enabled us to keep moving forward with their new and fresh ideas.
I-COM were instrumental in our new website development ensuring it was user friendly, mobile responsive and engaging. They developed tools for easy job search and quick CV upload, as well as enhancing the websites online strength. They maintained constant communication which helped to manage expectations and the results on launch were very positive. Thanks I-COM.
From the outset the I-COM team invested the time and resource to understand our business needs, in-line with our overall objectives. We had a fixed monthly budget and it was their role to convert that into placement fees through a hardworking, integrated online marketing strategy. Through a combination of SEO, PPC, Link building, PR and content marketing, together we implemented a really well executed campaign that generated the results that we were looking for.

Lab Noon officially turned one on June 19th. I remember how very confused, extremely tired and incredibly excited I was to launch the blog after many months of work. The blog was supposed to be written three languages, English, Italian and Persian. I decided to omit Persian after a short while. My first ever recipe quickly became an all time hit! Though now looking back I see many things that I would've done differently.
It's been an amazing year. I have said long thanks to all supporters in the invitation to this virtual birthday party. Here I want to thank all these lovely and talented food bloggers, who have accepted my invitation and prepared lovely cakes/dessert to share with you for #LabNoonsBirthdayParty. Some of these bloggers have been inspirational to me even before I started blogging and some I discovered in this one of year blogging. Some of them I have met in person or know them more personally in some way, some were pure strangers that reached me and joined the party. I am so glad I've known you all. Big, acclaimed ones, and new comers. I wish I could hug you one by one, and taste your cakes. Thank you everyone, really.
Bellow you will find a list of all the food bloggers who have taken part in Lab Noon's vitual birthday party and their recipes. (I have tried my best to be organized and get the right link to everyone, but if you get a error please let me know and I'll fix it).
Secondly, I want to thank once more Paola from Pauta Pot who generously gives these two beautiful, handmade, birdy cups as a give-away for our party. You can win these cups simply by writing a comment under this post, about the recipes and Lab Noon's birthday. Then I will extract a name randomly and we will send you those cups! Please remember that free shipping is available only in Europe.

Lab Noon's Fruity Birthday Cake for Summer
My idea of home made cake is something simple and rustic. Of course I would love a proper, nice & fancy cake (like many of the recipes above really put me to shame for how beautiful and perfect they are). But cakes that I like to make are simple, and very homy, filled with nutrient ingredient, so that with a sweet treat you can more than just empty calories. Recently I am always using more fruit in the batter and on topping of cakes that I make. Inspired by some natural jams and confections that use apples or apple juice as sweeteners, I have reduced the amount of sugar in my cakes dramatically and I have substitute it with apples! Both apple puree or grated apple work. Apple puree is cooked (so more time need), more smooth, but can also be much more watery. Grated apples brown easily (no matter how much lemon juice you add), some pieces could be bigger than others, but it gives a very nice texture and moistness to the cake.
I use grated apples in this recipes. There's no all purpose (00 flour); I have used farro flour and semi-whole wheat flour. I have also used oats —one of my most favorite ingredients—, for both the texture and nutrition. For the topping I have used only fresh fruit, with a very simple and loose ganash; which is basically some white chocolate and milk, poured on the fruit topping.
- 350gr apples (or two large apples, or 3 small ones)
- 2-3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 80gr whole brown sugar
- 3 medium organic, free range eggs
- 3 heap tbsp of melted coconut oil
- 100gr farro flour (or whole grain flour)
- 50gr whole grain flour
- 50gr rolled oats
- 6gr baking powder
- 80gr almond flour (minced almonds)
- vanilla
- cinnamon
- a pinch of salt
- Fresh fruit of the season (peaches, berries, apricots etc)
- 70g pure white chocolate
- 20ml (vegetal) milk
- vanilla extract
- Mint leaves for garnish
- 1/2 cup strawberries and/or other berries
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- Preheat the oven to 180° C/ 350° F/Gas mark 4.
- Grease and dust your pan.
- Grate the apples (I used a small food processor) with the lemon jouce and set aside.
- Beat the eggs with sugar until you get a foamy, pale cream. The add the grated apples; Mix will and the oil.
- Mix the oat in the batter.
- In a different bowl, mix all the flours, salt and the baking powder. Gradually add the dry mix to the batter.
- Pour in the cake mold and back for 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. It's a very moist cake, so it takes time.
- Let the cake cool down completely.
- In a food processesor mix the (straw)berries and the maple syrup until you get a smooth liquid.
- Melt the chocolate in bain marie in a small pan and graually add the milk while stirring in order to get a loose ganash.
- If you have made a one thick cake, carefully cut the cake in half, to get two layers. If you have baked two seperated layers, start with the bottom one.
- Spoon the berry mix on top and let it penetrate as much as possible. (This cake is very compact, so it won't absorb the liquid quickly).
- Once you're satisfied with the wetness of the bottom layer, carefully place the top layer on it.
- Chop bigger pieces of fruit, such as peaches and apricots into wedges. Cover the top layer with fresh fruit that you have.
- Gently pour the ganash over the fruit so that it would cover and drip off to the top layer of cake.
- Leave in the for 1/2 one hour before serving.

mediocre tokerdrugs
Mediocre Toker- a term used by thunder lungs(experienced marijuana smokers) to belittle people that cant consume as many cannabinoids and
or they do some scrub shit. Its always fun to throw the insult around at ppl who consider themselves to be thunder lungs but everone else sees them for the mediocre toker as they are
such as cough out a bowl, have a cough attack after one hit, try to deepthroat a bong, waist all of the greens with one hit, hit a bowl without using the choke, always get smoked up and never have weed, breaking a pipe, all of these are examples of what a mediocre toker would do. essentially anything rookie smokers would do

Many of the ready made remote control mini rc hovercraft made for the toy market are really toy boats masquerading as hovercraft and, if many of the reviews are to be believed, are unreliable and not terribly good as boats either! Consequently, I have searched through many of the offerings to find the best which are available.
First up is the Tomy HoverQ HO-03 Mini RC Hovercraft. It is small, in fact it fits into the palm of the hand, which only makes it more remarkable, as it is a genuine hovercraft. It is claimed to be "the world's smallest indoor infrared R/C hovercraft" and there is no reason to doubt it, so it gets my vote on novelty value alone. That said it is only intended for indoor use on a desk or floor and I am doubtful if it would survive harsh treatment. One reviewer said it only moved a foot a second, but that sounds pretty fast to me. It would make a perfect executive toy, or desktop curiosity. Also, I believe the price is very reasonable, especially when compared to its' less realistic competitors of similar size. You can check it out and here: Tomy HoverQ
One of its' competitors, which is really a boat, is this Mini RC Hovercraft of which you will see many on the internet, in a variety of colours and at a variety of prices. It can be put in the water, (it is a boat after all!), but reliability could be an issue. If you just want something to put in the bath and won't be too disappointed if it doesn't necessarily last too long, it might be what you are looking for. Learn more here: Mini RC Hovercraft
What we have seen so far are both mini rc hovercraft and, being realistic, there is a limit to what you can expect from something so small.
If you are really keen for a ready made remote control rc model to use on water and have fun with then, personally, I believe this will be your best option, but I have to admit, it's not a hovercraft, it's the Aquacraft Mini Alligator Tours Airboat. In it's favour it has good reviews and it looks quite cool. Well, at least its' propeller is above the water and it can operate in the shallows! For an off the shelf option it's well worth considering and will probably deliver the thrills you are looking for in the model rc world, at least on water, although it's a step up in price. Discover more here: Aquacraft Mini Alligator Tours Airboat
Returning to the world of hovercraft is the 4M Hover Racer Science Kit. Intended for indoor use, it has real educational value. The manufacturer describes it as follows:
"Watch your own fantastic Hover Racer skim smoothly across the floor supported on it's cushion of air. Learn the science facts behind the hovercraft. It's a fun science project which supports the school curriculum. And it's an ideal science-fair kit too."
Although fun, it is not a toy, but an educational kit, which is evident from the styling, which is somewhat spartan, as you can see from the photograph. I have also read that assembly should be supervised by an adult, or completed by someone aged fourteen or over. The manufacturers have slightly amended the design, but all the reviews I have seen of the original version were overwhelmingly positive. Check it out here: 4M Hover Racer Science Kit
Should your interest be in the larger rc hovercraft models, (some of which are even used to scare aware birds from around airports!), you will be interested in taking a look at http://www.modelhovercraft.co.uk/
You can even learn to build your own. There are several books on the subject of rc hovercraft. One of which is the "Introduction to Radio Controlled Hovercraft" by Kevin Jackson and Mark Porter. It is described as a "comprehensive tutorial bringing together all the information required to design and build a successful radio controlled Hovercraft model. The book introduces the construction of Hovercraft models and the concept of their operation. Written by two leading authorities in RC Hovercraft design, Kevin Jackson and Mark Porter take you through both the theoretical and practical aspects of the design and construction process".
I have also discovered a DVD entitled "Hoverpower – Mastering RC Hovercraft". It includes a short history of hovercraft and the basics of how they work and so should be of interest to anyone who wants a quick introduction to the subject. It then goes on to look at the development of some successful rc hovercraft models. The guide covers designing a remote controlled hovercraft; the hull; the materials; the construction; waterproofing; creating the air cushion; thrust and steering; radio control and operation.
However, if you would prefer the micro version, here is how small they can be.

In the midst of a jobs crunch that has thousands of people out of work in Silicon Valley, there's a hiring frenzy going on among startups, social networking companies and some of the valley's tech giants.
The Googles and Apples of the valley are competing with nimble, fast-growing social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. Startups are scrambling for good hires, offering the thrill of creating something new instead of big salaries.
While a hiring boom may seem a contradiction when so many people are unemployed, the reality is that many of those out of work don't have the skills some of these companies are looking for.
"There is not even nearly enough engineers, developers and research scientists here in the Bay Area," said Greg Mikulin, co-founder of Clarity Technology Partners in Palo Alto, a staffing agency. "The motivated people who have this pedigree are all working."
The hiring began in earnest last fall, according to those who follow the social media and search business, and really picked up steam at the beginning of this year. It helps explain why the valley posted its first year-over job increase in 23 months on Friday, although unemployment remained unchanged at 11.2 percent.
Google has lost some high profile people to Facebook and is reportedly offering large retention bonuses to a few key employees while aggressively expanding its sales and engineering side. It added about 3,500 people globally in the first three quarters of the year, putting pressure on smaller but fast-growing companies that are hiring from the same select pool of candidates.
"There's definitely a war for talent between the large companies and the startups," said Tom Silver, vice president of tech job listing service Dice.com.
Overall, tech job listings are up 38 percent nationally from last year on Dice.com, Silver said, but they have jumped 64 percent in Silicon Valley. Indeed.com, which aggregates thousands of employment sites, says the leaders in the number of jobs open are Apple and Google.
Valley companies are looking for Java programmers, network engineers, network security analysts, cloud computing specialists, virtualization programmers, user interface engineers and mobile technology specialists, Silver said. The average salary for these jobs in the valley is $96,299.
Redbeacon, which offers multiple price quotes on local services like gardening and home repair and was founded in 2008 by ex-Google employees, recently hired an in-house recruiter to "work every single day on hiring," said co-founder Ethan Anderson. "We're seeing definitely one of the most challenging recruiting environments in memory, especially in the technical area."
That's partly because of the rise of angel and micro-venture investing, he said, which involves individuals and small groups raising $1 million to $2 million to fund startups. "That means there are more engineers starting more companies," Anderson said. "Each will have two or three engineers, but there are hundreds of them, so that on a per-company basis there are fewer engineers available."
A second challenge is the sheer volume of hiring by larger companies like Google, he said. Or Cisco, for that matter, which expects to add 2,000 to 3,000 people worldwide in the next several quarters.
While the hiring frenzy has spawned a seller's market for top talent, it's leaving some midlevel technical workers sitting on the sidelines, Mikulin of Clarity said. With the rise of cloud computing — the Internet-based sharing of software and information — some desktop and support positions are disappearing, he noted. "It's some of the lower level jobs that are starting to go away, unfortunately," he said.
"The cloud and enterprise spaces right now are absolutely on fire," said Aaron Levie, founder of Box.net, an online work space information sharing company that's moving into bigger quarters this week to house a staff that's grown 70 percent this year.
Krish Parikh, 27, an M.I.T. grad in engineering and computer science, came to Box.net from Oracle a month ago. He said he has no regrets. "It's very exciting, the atmosphere is great, and there's a lot of energy. People come in early, stay late — it's the make-it-or-break-it aspect of startups."
LinkedIn, an online professional network based in Mountain View, will nearly double in size this year, from 450 to 850 people, said Steve Cadigan, LinkedIn's vice president of people operations. "Reading a lot of the articles about what's happening with unemployment, I feel like I'm living in a different world here," he said.
While Google expands its work force, other companies lure the workers Google already has. Facebook has hired away some of Google's top talent, but the Palo Alto social networking company failed to land one person after Google offered him a six-figure bonus, according to several recruiters.
Google declined to comment on that story, but said its attrition is well below the industry standard, and when it has made counteroffers to employees tempted by Facebook, 70 percent decided to stay at Google.
Tech recruiter Robert Greene, of GreeneSearch in San Mateo, said "Google's doing what they can do to retain people. They've re-priced their options; they're paying people a lot of money to stay there. They've done a really good job of it. It is still hard for me to recruit people out of Google."
But "Facebook is the hottest company around," he added.
Jay Parikh, director of engineering at Facebook, said Facebook isn't "going after Google" and declined to comment on the hires from the Mountain View search company. "We're just trying to find the best talent."
"We work hard to find these people," said Parikh. "If you're hiring at Google, Facebook, Cisco or Yahoo, you face the same challenges. It's a constrained resource and the supply is lower than the demand." Facebook began the year with about 1,000 employees and is now at a little more than 1,700.
San Francisco game developer Zynga, which started the year with about 400 or 500 people, will reach 1,300 next week and has an additional 300 openings, said chief people officer Colleen McCreary.
McCreary said Zynga is attracting people from much larger, traditional software companies.
"Google has done a great job of building their work force," she said. But, "for people who have been there a long time, as soon as they get a reach-out from a recruiter or hear from their friends, 'I'm doing this neat thing,' they get interested."

A man is still fighting for his life after suffering horrendous injuries as he walked his dog.
Police are investigating how George Button was found lying seriously injured on an isolated grass verge on Monday evening.
Council electrician George, 53, was found with serious head injuries in Mark's Lane, a quiet single-track road, just yards from his home at West Rainton, Co Durham.
His wife Christina was still at her husband's bedside in Newcastle General hospital today, while his seven-year-old daughter was being cared for by relatives.
He was taken to the University Hospital of North Durham and later transferred to Newcastle General Hospital where he had emergency surgery. He is now in a coma.

Geometry car helps keep ride smooth and safe
Three men sit in the front of the rail car, back-lit silhouettes facing a large window, the rails spread before them like ribbons as the train rumbles forward. Computer screens display a continuous log of information as a calm automated male voice calls out each important detail of the track configuration. The words "switch," "road crossing," "bridge" and "milepost" are all recited in this automated monotone as the train heads out from Chicago Union Station west along Metra's Milwaukee District lines.
But then the voice calls out the word: "Defect. Defect."
As the details appear on the computer screen, Metra track inspector Manny Rangel uses a computer mouse to highlight the data while Project Roadmaster Jose Jauregui and Milwaukee District Roadmaster Arturo Lopez compare the data to the design profile for this section of track.
If the issue requires immediate repair, Lopez contacts the dispatchers along the route to initiate an order for trains to reduce speed over that section of track until the repairs can be made. He then dispatches the track employees to the site to make repairs. In most cases, repairs are made and track speed is restored within hours.
Metra Track Inspector Manny Rangel logs track conditions as he rides in the Canadian Pacific track geometry car along the Milwaukee North Line.
Depending upon the degree of variation from the track design and the type of defect, the track issues are classified "urgent" or "priority" defects. A priority defect means that the track isn't meeting Metra's own design standards but does not violate federal safety requirements. Priority defects do not require immediate repair but are put on a watch list that is used to inform planning for future track maintenance projects. A defect categorized as urgent, however, does require that a speed reduction be placed on that section of track until repairs can be made.
All of this is the routine of a trip on a track geometry car. Twice a year, Metra rents the Canadian Pacific geometry car to inspect every mile of Metra-owned tracks. Our partners in the Chicago region, BNSF Railway and Union Pacific, as well as the region's freight railroads also use track geometry equipment to inspect track conditions several times a year.
Geometry cars use lasers and video to precisely measure the track alignment, cant or cross level (the difference in elevation between the two rails), curvature, rail gauge, warp and the rail profile. Some railroads also use trucks equipped with similar technology to ride the rails and provide measurements, but track geometry trains more accurately duplicate real-world conditions because the weight of the train itself subjects the track to the same lateral force the track is subjected to when a commuter or freight train passes over it.
The CP Geometry train sits next to Metra locomotive 426 as it waits to begin its trip south from Fox Lake.
In addition to geometry cars, Metra employs track inspectors who visually inspect every section of our railroads several times each week. Their familiarity with the segments of railroad under their watch makes them Metra's first line of defense in identifying changing track conditions.
"Track inspectors are out there on a daily basis making sure that our railroad is in safe condition," said Metra Chief Engineering Officer Bruce Marcheschi. "But the geometry car provides an extra level of information. It can identify immediate concerns but I would argue that its greatest value is the data it provides that helps us in our long-range planning. In fact, a rail replacement project currently underway on the Milwaukee North Line is a direct result of information gathered by the geometry train."
Geometry cars are not the only specialized equipment that Metra uses to monitor track conditions. Another vehicle also travels the Metra system on a twice-yearly basis using ultrasonic equipment to detect defects within the rail itself. These defects cannot be seen by the naked eye and detecting them allows us to replace rail sections before breaks occur. Like other railroads, Metra will also contract the services of a rail grinding train to extend the useful life of the rail.
"Each of these specialized services help Metra safely maintain the track speed, smooth ride and levels of service to which our riders are accustomed," Marcheschi said.

For my first batch, I made the liquid version found here, though there are directions all over the internet if that one doesn't float your boat. That first batch lasted me over 2 years! I mixed it up in December, 2013, and just ran out a week or so ago. Granted, I'm only washing laundry for one person and some critters so yours might not last quite as long, but still...
Now that I have a source for bulk laundry detergent (my local co-op), I can avoid the trash that way, but making my own still saves me a lot of money. Plus, I still had plenty of leftovers from making the first batch so this batch was basically free. ;-) This time, I went for the powdered version to see which I liked better.
|All the ingredients necessary.
|I chopped up the soap before breaking it down further in the food processor.
|All mixed up and ready to use!
I still have enough washing soda for 2 more batches with enough Borax for 3-4 more batches. You can get a bar of laundry soap at almost any big grocery, your local co-op or health food store, but options are open. I chose to use an herbal bar from Wolfe Farms for mine. Check out their bulk soap deal - 4 bars for $10!
I keep the environmental and economical friendliness going after the wash cycle ends. Once it warms up enough, I use my clothesline and the power of the sun/wind to dry my laundry, but in the winter, I do use my dryer.
|A set of felted wool dryer balls and a dried lavender sachet that live in my dryer.
Have you ever made your own laundry supplies?

Keeping motivated is always a key factor of losing weight. If you aren't motivated then you will fail to succeed. Keeping positive people around you that support you, comparing pictures that make you realise how far you have come and maybe keep target clothes you want to fit back into or buy new clothes (not too small) a realistic size and try them on when you feel comfortable to do so.
For me a big part of motivation is to post progress photos of my weight loss, comparing photos from the very beginning of my weight loss journey to where I am now. Posting it on social media, so that people can see and I always get positive feedback telling me that I have done great and asking what I do. It really gives me a little extra push at reaching goals.
124 likes is probably the most likes I've ever had on a post on Facebook 🙈 And the 9 comments were people telling my how amazing I look and telling me well done. You can imagine I wanted to carry on with keeping fit after that amount of support. People often mail me asking for help and tips on losing weight and I would always advise and tell them how I did it, it's just good to know that I have inspired people to start their own journey.
Clothes also helps with my motivation, thinking I can't fit in that dress, trying it on and it actually fits feels great. I've gone from a size 16 to a size 8.. So every now and then on my journey I would clean out my closet, trying things on thinking do I need this, selling them on Depop or Ebay if they were too big for me. The amount of clothes I actually sold or threw out compared to my keep pile was a shock to me, It just showed me how far I had come. It was an excuse to go clothes shopping anyway, and for a smaller size 😁.
Having my boyfriend and parents support me is also a good thing. If they didn't support me as much as they have over the years I would have struggled. My parents, especially my mother helped me get through the 1st part of my weight loss by attending Zumba classes with me and walking, then she would help me with my eating. She has always come with me to fitness classes and I am thankful ad I would have been too embarrassed to go on my own. My boyfriend is also weight conscious so he understands, so we keep ourselves motivated by making healthy foods together, go walking mountains together, if we have a binge we make sure we are straight back on it.
Now that I am sort of happy with the way I am, it's all about maintaining. And it's difficult when you love food like me. So I keep going to circuit training 3 times a week and try to run on the treadmill for 15-30 mins, and also eat clean.
My biggest mistake was probably weighing myself everyday, hoping I would loose 3lb in a day (haha think again) I've gotten to learn that it's not about your weight once you hit this stage I am in. I train, I gain muscle and muscle weighs more than fat. My scales at home tell my my water percentage and body fat percentage which I most often go by now. I am on a 12 week transformation challenge at the moment and the do ask us for our weight and a photo every week. If I gain a pound, I'm not that worried. I have a target to lose pounds, but I have 12 weeks to do it, so it's no rush. I have gone from weighing myself every day to once a week and if it wasn't for this challenge I would probably occasionally weigh myself.
Hope you guys like my blog. Any feedback and comments on tips would be great. Thanks guys!

Mormonism's Professional Spin-Doctors are at it again.
In their latest official "essay" – the Mormon PR Machine wants the world to FALSELY BELIEVE that the idea of Temple-Worthy Mormons becoming GODS and running their own planet similar to earth, is all simply an offensive, wrong-headed "cartoon" depiction. See official LDS "Essay" at: https://www.lds.org/topics/becoming-like-god?lang=eng
Lyrics To Mormon "Hymn" If You could Hie (i.e. travel) to Kolob (Mormon Hymn # 284)
If you could hie to Kolob In the twinkling of an eye,And then continue onward With that same speed to fly,Do you think that you could ever, Through all eternity,Find out the generation, Where Gods began to be?
Or see the grand beginning, Where space did not extend?Or view the last creation, Where Gods and matter end?Methinks the Spirit whispers, "No man has found 'pure space,'Nor seen the outside curtains, Where nothing has a place."
The works of God continue, And worlds and lives abound;Improvement and progression Have one eternal round.There is no end to matter; There is no end to space;There is no end to spirit; There is no end to race.
There is no end to virtue; There is no end to might;There is no end to wisdom; There is no end to light.There is no end to union; There is no end to youth;There is no end to priesthood; There is no end to truth.
There is no end to glory; There is no end to love;
There is no end to being; There is no death above.There is no end to glory; There is no end to love;There is no end to being; There is no death above.
Text: William W. Phelps, 1792-1872
There is "NO END" to Mormon spin-doctoring and mind-control techniques either, it would appear! Now listen as the BYU Chorus performs this uniquely Mormon "Hymn" as they WORSHIP AND ADORE their corporate CHURCH LEADERS who they falsely believe hold the "KEYS TO CORPORATE KOLOB"!!! The SERPENT is indeed subtle indeed!

Is long-term employment kicking back? There's a lot about values and the need fro rethinking the HR function in this post. I believe it is so related to my recent post on the HRPS global conference (watch the video here: HRPS Video)
Accenture recently published its 2013 College Graduate Employment Survey Findings. Lots of great data. Especially if you plan to hire recent college grads. In fact, some of the data are surprising.
One of the important takeaways is that employers have unrealistic expectations for the skills of the hires they make out of college. They think these young people should be able to hit the ground running and are surprised and disappointed when they don't. And to compound the problem, these employers are not investing in training initiatives to get the newly hired up to speed in the short term or effective in the long term. This is all pretty logical. It's good data and if you plan on hiring entry level employees from the ranks of the newly graduated, you should read this.
But here's what caught my attention. It's about the willingness to commit. And it isn't the…

I will summarize in two words the future of solar energy, VERY PROMISING.
Why is it explained below.
Solar energy has been used since ancient times. In Mesopotamia, for example we know that the priests lit the ceremonial fire with curved mirrors of polished gold in 2000 BC also said that Archimedes used mirrors to sink enemy ships diverting sunlight towards them.
In more recent times by the year 1930 they became popular in Japan solar collectors to heat water, but the low cost of fossil fuels at the time relegated quickly to solar energy.
It was not until 1973 when OPEC oil prices shot and solar energy back to the world map, since that day has been steady growth.
Today in the early 21st century, the energy future is more promising than ever.
A part of that oil prices have soared in recent years, thanks to predicted it will end in the next 20 years, the population has generally realizing that unless we take action on global warming, our grandchildren they will have a promising future.
Every day more discoveries to improve both efficiency rates of solar energy are made, and while the prices of fossil fuels will not stop rising, prices of solar energy will not let down.
So if you were looking for was whether the solar energy has a promising future , the answer is a resounding YES, solar energy has a promising future, and the more people we use the know and have a brighter future and faster.

Aviation Emissions
Managing the Carbon Footprint of Australian Aviation
Australia's civil aviation sector (both domestic and international) contributed a total of 22 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (Mt CO2-e) emissions in 2016 according to the National Greenhouse Gas Inventory 2016. This corresponded to approximately 3% of Australia's total emissions from domestic economic sectors and international bunkers (fuel sold for international transport) in 2016 that year. Of Australia's total aviation emissions in 2016, 60.0% was due to international operations and the remainder to domestic operations.
Domestic versus International Emissions
Under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), domestic and international aviation are treated separately. Domestic aviation emissions are counted as part of country targets while international aviation emissions are dealt with separately by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
The integrated global nature of international aviation means that effective action on international aviation emissions requires a concerted effort by all countries. Australia is actively working through ICAO to develop goals and practical measures for reducing aviation emissions.
At the 38th ICAO Assembly in October 2013, Member States reaffirmed their commitment to work through ICAO to achieve a global annual average fuel efficiency improvement of 2 per cent until 2050 and to strive to achieve carbon neutral growth for international aviation from 2020. Australia submitted its first Action Plan on managing Australia's aviation carbon emissions to ICAO in November 2012. Australia updated its Action Plan DOCX: 5773 KB PDF: 824 KB with a new edition in September 2017.
Improving Efficiency Through New Technology
Air Traffic Management
Australia's air navigation service provider, Airservices Australia, has implemented a range of measures to improve fuel efficiency such as flexible flight tracks, improved air traffic control sequencing, continuous descent approaches and better management of aircraft on the ground
Australian airlines are introducing newer, more fuel efficient aircraft into their fleets such as the A380, A320neo, A350, B787, B777X and B737MAX aircraft. The B737-800 aircraft, which is in common use on domestic routes, is about 20 percent more fuel efficient than earlier B737 models. Airlines will continue to refine their operational procedures to minimise fuel use, including reduction in weight of cabin items and reduction of engine ground running time. Qantas, Jetstar and Virgin Australia have also introduced voluntary carbon offset schemes which enable passengers to purchase carbon offsets for their flights. Jetstar and Virgin Australia have reported that approximately 10% of passengers are buying offsets—a figure that is high by international standards.
Australia's airports are also putting in place a range of measures to manage their contribution to climate change issues. In particular, measures include green star rated commercial developments on airports, energy and water audits, recycling and creation of biodiversity zones.

Fingernails and disease don't go together in most minds… but they should. Your fingernails can give you valuable health warnings and signal the presence of serious disease.
Take a good long look at your nails. Hold a hand level with your nose about a foot out from your face and scrutinize each one. Look at the curves, dips, ridges, and grooves. Check out how thick or thin they are and if your nails are chipped or broken. Make a note of the color of the nail itself, the skin under it, and the skin around the nail.
Check your memory – have your nails always looked like this? Changes to your fingernails and disease onset are linked, so note any new developments. With this fresh view, compare what you see with this list of eight potential fingernail health warnings.
1. Discolored nails
A healthy fingernail should be pink with a touch of pinkish white (moons) near the base. If your nails are a dull color or streaked with other colors, you may have a serious hidden health problem.
- Green nails are a sign of bacterial infection
- Red streaks in your nail bed are a warning of a heart valve infection
- Blueish nails signal low oxygen levels in your blood
- Dull nails mean a vitamin deficiency
- White nails may signal liver disease, such as hepatitis
- Dark stripes at the top (Terry's nails) are associated with aging and congestive heart failure
Scrub those nails clean and really look at your nail color! Given the "rainbow" of potential health challenges, you want to be sure you see what your fingers are saying.
2. Thick nails
Thick nails are not natural. You want your nails to be strong, but if they resemble talons or claws more than traditional nails watch out!
- Thickened nails that are otherwise normal can signal lung disease
- Thick and rough-textured nails can signal a fungal infection
- Thick and separated nails may mean thyroid disease or psoriasis
- Unusual thickness may also be a symptom of a circulation problem
Thickening nails are a change that should tune you into other health symptoms you may be ignoring. Also watch out for allergic reactions to new medications which can show up as suddenly thick nails!
3. Split nails
Split nails aren't just occasionally chipped or shut indoors. Instead, these nails seem to flake away in layers. Don't blame frequent handwashing or nail polish for everything, especially since:
- Split nails result from folic acid, Vitamin C, and protein deficiencies
- Split nails combined with a pitted nail bed (base) can signal psoriasis, which begins in nails 10% of the time according to WebMD
- Split nails may result from chronic malnutrition
Watch what you eat and check the psoriasis connection to fight back and pay more attention to your health overall.
4.Concave (Spoon) nails
Spoon fingernails signal a number of internal issues. To be considered full spoons, nails will be soft and curve up, forming a dip that is often big enough to hold water. Spoon nails signal:
- Iron deficiency (usually from anemia)
- Hemochromatosis, a liver disorder where your body absorbs too much iron
- Heart disease
- Hypothyroidism
Your fingernail and health challenges go hand in hand – for many people, clearing up their health issue results in their spoon nails returning back to normal.

Walpurgis Armageddon Psychology
The other day an old friend mine said he wanted to stop by to help my
fiancé with her computer. He arrived late and told me that he had some
things that he wanted me to see and he didn't know if I would be
interested in looking into what they were. He was very secretive about
what he had and I wondered exactly why it was such a secret.
He arrived Sunday night with a milk crate full of papers and pamphlets and said that this is what he wanted me to see. When I glanced down at what was in the milk crate it looked like a bunch of trash.
He told me that he was doing an odd job of cleaning out a home and he found all of these pamphlets and articles that were stapled together. They were dated anywhere from 1963 to 1965.
These documents were more than 50 years old and as I looked them over I realized that what I was looking at were documents and initiate papers of the Rosicrucian order.
On the covers of the various master monographs were the words 'Illuminati section' with various degrees noted.
I was curious because I had never seen anything like them and they looked very much like books of lessons and rituals. In fact the pages of these various works had the open salutation, "Greetings to the members of the Esoteric Hierarchy."
In the first few paragraphs, there was some information that was meant for eight "brethren" who were about to take a journey into Europe. The eight were told to meet with one other member of the brotherhood once they arrived and there they were to exchange information regarding the "future psychology" and the gradualist advent of human transmutation in the midst of crisis.
Most of what I was reading was very esoteric as much of what was written was actually written for someone who has been well-versed in what has been taught in the "mystery schools." The journey that was to be made by the nine brethren throughout Europe was to discover the spot where a worldwide event is to take place within a generation and a half that will create such a clamor that it will cause both men and women to be drawn to it like a "moth to a flame."
A flame of illumination so bright that those that wish to get near it will do so at their own peril.
It was not clear as to when this "fire event" was to take place and there were no maps or even locations given, only that it is to be a "fire event" that it will happen within a generation and that people will be compelled to get near it or to go to it like moths to flame.
This fire event will be seen as a bridge to other dimensions and will change the way we as humans see ourselves. This event will most definitely unite the world and the message it sends will send a shockwave through human consciousness. It's influence will cover vast distances and the world will be aware of this event simultaneously.
There will be human argument over what the event signifies. It will be seen as both dangerous and divine and it will most certainly change the vibration field of human consciousness.
The danger that awaits us with this "fire event" is that mankind will realize its unreason and that man will realize that most of the material things that he has desired or has collected are only a part of his existence and that he has not yet fully adjusted to the artificial world he has created.
It states, "Man is a creature of Nature and he will ignore all of the danger signals in order to satisfy his infatuation and desire for the fire and light of human knowledge and curiosity."
As I was reading all of this, much of what I was reading seemed so "high brow" for its own good and since I am not well-versed in Masonic word salad I had to stop and ponder what this "fire event" could be.
Somewhere in my head I was thinking that the fire event could be a nuclear explosion, after all, the articles were written in the 1960's and there was most certainly a preoccupation with fires of a nuclear conflagration.
However, would a nuclear explosion actually draw people to it like a moth to a flame?
"Observing a moth about a candle flame, one is likely to say, what a stupid creature! A mere insect cannot recognize danger." – Rosicrucian Digest 1965
There must be a reason why mankind would give some sort of silent consent to put itself in the harm's way. The universal principle of freewill indicates that no entity can impose on will of any other without its consent. However there seems to be an agreement amongst many students of the paranormal that our free will can be breached through trauma based ritualism.
Which leads me to believe that whatever this event is supposed to be, it will be so traumatic that people will be drawn to it, even if it means that they run the risk of dying.
The prediction of this event was first made over 50 years ago and was reported to transpire within a generation and a half.
A generation today because of mortality is anywhere between 20-25 years, In the 1960's it 35 to 40 years so we can estimate that the fire event that is to change our lives is supposed to happen in the second decade of the 21st century.
In my life, I have always felt that meaningful coincidences happen in my life and that I need to share them. All of what I have been reading in these 50 year old "Illuminati Monographs" is highly coincidental as we approach the times of Walpurgis and Beltane.
Beltane is known as the time of the pagan fire festival. Beltane occurs exactly six months after Halloween or Samhain. It is celebrated May 1st. In parts of Europe, Walpurgisnacht is celebrated each year around April 30th.
As BellaBloodLust.com writes, "In Norse traditions – and many others – this night is the time when the boundary between our world and that of the spirits is a bit shaky." Walpurgisnacht is considered to be a time for sacrifice, bonfires and to communicate with the spirit world.
It is said that the devil rules during the fiery events of Walpurgis and Beltane. In antiquity the spring fertility ritualism was based in sex magic, blood sacrifice and the rituals that include the use of fire.
Bram Stoker, the author of 'Dracula', once said of Walpurgis: "It is the time of year when all evil things of earth and air and water hold revel."
However, the fire event spoken of in the "Illuminati Monograph" could be many things. Things that don't have to associate with the high Satanic holiday of Walpurgis.
In the Book of Deuteronomy, it says, "For the Lord thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God."
In the Book of Hebrews, it states that God is a consuming fire, and in Thessalonians, that those who are evil will burn in the light of the fire produced by the Second Coming of the savior of the world.
The savior, in all instances, returns secretly to earth from the air. He declares that he is here to save his people and commands that fire devour those who wish to thwart his kingdom or his ideology.
This all sounds frightening and it should. It could very well be secret manipulation used to create a trigger that ignites a meme. The majority of the populace is wired to react to symbols and archetypes, and propagandists use this tool for subtle mind control.
The thought of a fire event, the moth to the flame and how we are drawn to the fire even at the risk of our death is very telling of how easily mankind can be manipulated and magically entranced in these times,
On the evening of May 1st, 2011, Barack Obama announced the death of Osama Bin laden he said that "justice was served" – even though Bin Laden had been reported dead years prior.
Coincidentally, it was the day that Adolph Hitler was declared dead after he allegedly committed suicide on April 30th, at 3:30 in the afternoon creating a 333 mystical power number recognized by occultists.
George W. Bush announced on the U.S.S Lincoln on May 1st 2003 that major combat operations in Iraq were over and that America and her allies prevailed. However, the whole "Mission accomplished" ritual was premature and no one really knew why he said what he said. Only that the timing seemed a bit suspect and odd since Saddam Hussein remained in power and the guerrilla warfare increased.
Later on 2005, he mentioned a fiery event that will be ignited in the minds of men.
"By our efforts, we have lit a fire as well, a fire in the minds of men. It warms those who feel its power, it burns those who fight its progress, and one day this untamed fire of freedom will reach the darkest corners of our world." – George W. Bush, Inaugural Speech 2005
Stock Footage President George W. Bush second Inaugural Address January 20, 2005.It is also interesting to note that on May 1st, 1776 the Bavarian Illuminati was established. As Terry Melanson wrote in his article, 'May Day and the Posthumous Influence of the Illuminati',: "Secret societies do nothing without multiple layers of esoteric meaning; symbolism is of vital importance."
That is why it is so coincidental that I was able to have in my possession the monographs of a Illuminati order that were published in the 1960's that speak of the great "fire event."
The Illuminati has declared that no one is in a position to defeat its invisible hold on the world. Their force may be invisible, but if you look hard enough you can see their actions manifest.
The question that we all should ask during the "nights of fore" just what will be the event that will draw us towards it—even at our own peril?
Slowly we have seen our consciousness disconnect from that which is sacred to our core. The majority of people have become warlike and cynical, neglecting the sacred and preferring that which is profane.
We once believed in the idea of transcendence and now we find ourselves believing in coarse dogma and militant enforcement of such dogmatic programs that have been planted into us in order for the Luciferian philosophies to take hold.
Many people are unaware that their new enlightenment is really a part of the conspiracy of programming all religions and political philosophies with Luciferian dogma. It gives many people that false assumption that in their righteousness they are somehow above everyone and everything and that those who do not share their enlightenment will burn in the fires of hell.
Mysticism while vilified by fundamentalist extremism is the way we may transcend and make contact with the ultimate reality through direct experience and insight. Much of what the new fundamentalism imparts is knowledge without experience and salvation without much effort.
It has been declared that there is no special key to knowledge, no special ritual to be performed and no real reason to rise above in frequency to avoid being manipulated and coerced into the cult dynamic.
And yet politics and religions thrive in this destructive dynamic and they are not immune to making profane sinners into saints and neglecting the meek.
The fire that consumes is a metaphor for the ages, a symbol that must be respected and held with careful hands. I believe that perhaps this so-called "fire event" is simply Promethean.
In Greek mythology, Prometheus is a titan whose name meant "forethought", and indeed, he was said to have the ability to look into the future. It is said that Prometheus betrayed the other gods by giving the tool of fire to humans. It was also Prometheus that warned that a war was coming and that there would be no victors.
The world anciently saw the fire's potential and in war it would consume all that played with it. Similar to what we see from the yellowed papers of an Illuminati lodge.
A generation and a half and here we are now with a scorched earth as a possible future.
The event of fire nearing the time of of Walpurgis.

Today was a two hour delay on the start of things. My son came down and announced he'd had trouble sleeping and that God had answered his prayers with an extra bit of stolen time in the morning to go slow. This world can move all of us along so quickly, we miss the moments we're supposed to hold onto, like spotting a fox running through the woods, hearing a daughter say "Snow" and know what she is saying and why, giving a hug to an anxious teen or a little extra help to a frustrated first grader tackling tying her shoes.
So take some time today to take a look around. Like the snow blanketing the earth, everything looks fresh and new when we view it through the lens of gratitude, but that lens takes a few moments not put on the to do list to come into focus. Like waking up and recognizing that a prayer has been answered.
So list your small successes, things you want others to know, God to know you are grateful for today, and if you have a blog, put a link to it in the comment section. Then go and visit all the others who participate and invite those you think might derive pleasure from taking a moment to see all things new to join in today's small success.

Mariners Sign Joe Saunders, DFA Shawn Kelley, Announce Kelly Shoppach Signing
There has been a lot of Mariners news today, and thankfully my girlfriend is willing to let me ignore her for a little bit while I spew my opinion about it. The latest, to skip over some earlier stuff that we'll Tarantino back to is that Joe Saunders has been signed to a one year deal by the club.
Saunders is built for the old Safeco Field as a lefty that gives up some fly balls, doesn't strike a ton of hitters out, and doesn't walk many hitters. Saunders and the Mariners have flirted for a large portion of the offseason, and much like Kelly Shoppach's signing, a Saunders signing seemed imminent. Saunders is an innings eater, and a veteran, and probably better than Jason Vargas, who the team traded for Kendrys Morales. Of course, Vargas made a lot of money, and while we don't know what Saunders will make yet, we doubt that it will be more than Vargas, and if it is it won't be the value-of-Kendrys-Morales-worth-of-more than Jason Vargas.
In a move that isn't corresponding, the Mariners DFA'd Shawn Kelley. The team avoided arbitration with Kelley earlier this week, and they have had to DFA him because they've finally announced the Shoppach signing. So while the 40-man was adjusted to fit Shoppach, an additional adjustment will be necessary to fit Saunders.
Kelley has been a solid reliever for the team, though he's out-resulted his peripherals—likely aided by Safeco Field hiding the downside of his huge flyball tendency. Kelley will have to clear waivers to opt for a minor league assignment, a handshake agreement the team may have made when they agreed to a contract with him. If another team claims him the Mariners won't be responsible for his salary and Kelley will be on that club's 40 man roster.
Some likely additional candidates to be DFA'd to make room for Saunders are Anthony Fernandez, Josh Kinney, Yoervis Medina, Carlos Peguero, Eric Thames, and Casper Wells.
