You might get lower ... IFR Markets: London, September 29. 1.0240 and 1.0245 strikes roll off at the 10am Eastern NY cut tomorrow (Tuesday, 14:00GMT). The size of the 1.0240 strike is estimated at $400mn. A 1.0250 USD put option rolls off next Monday (Oct 6). Price rallies intraday and...

Actually, it's not a kick. They jump up and "grab on the neck" with their feet/legs and twist the body to throw the opponent... it is truly remarkable, and I never had thought something like that possible. My first martial arts instructor was Vietnamese, and I graduated a black belt under...

Streetwise, you won't hear any arguments from me about Muay Thai having overall the most powerful kicks. But I trained actively for as long as not belittle other styles or get "religious" about styles - even Nanbudo where they primarily defend - since I met accomplished fighters of any type...

I think there is a relief rally waiting to happen in EURUSD. On the other hand, the US continues to spend more than they earn, and expect the world to support this - which is unsustainable. The UK is suffering badly now, while Germany has more legs to stand on and a larger and more robust...

William Kristol is an elitist conspiring low-life and Neo-conservative that is on turbo-charge from his father (Neo-con founder). They were all behind Giuliani as "their candidate" early on, and later concerted their efforts for getting Lieberman as VP. They luckily got snubbed, and I hope...

Streetwise, many martial arts share similar techniques. The difference in the roundhouse kicks is how rotation and the striking are treated. Another "twist" to this is the "Brazilian kick" or "Kyokushinkai kick" where you get over the guard of your opponent with a downward crescent rotation...

This always brings a smile to my face when thinking about traders ... and the Elitetrader forums are a reflection on how traders are and what irks traders ... Don't you ever change, guys! Who else would kick the living shit out of Greenpeace protesters combating climate change? Gotta...

About TKD kicks... In the UFC Fight Night #15 on September 17th, the preliminary fight between Italian Alessio Legionarius Sakara and accomplished Iowa wrestler Joe Vedepo, Alessio did a nice round-house TKD style kick to knock out Joe. It happens sometimes - like when Gabriel Gonzaga KO'ed...

Actually, there is much more freedom and less policing in Europe than the US. There are even top-less beaches etc. Also, the US population smoke a lot more pot etc, and drug use leads to much more problems and incarcerations in the US.

Ivanovich, congrats on an excellent trade. :)

That is something I totally agree on, and what I have been saying in all my posts on the subject. Religion is helpful in strengthening the "internals" of some people, because they are totally lost without it. This is just the same with e.g most Objectivists who also follow and worship books and...

Grabbing one wrist and with the other breaking a finger is not that difficult... some BJJs and other grapplers, wrestlers, Judo, Sambo, farm hand - whatever person can have very strong grip which is difficult to break lose, especially on the ground with limited movement. Also, Hapkido is much...

We are many here off the "bottom" of the religious pyramid scheme... as individuals we are integrally stronger than the cult followers and worshippers as we provide our own structure and substance - not something pre-fabricated mumbo-jumbo from some priesthood hazy smokers trying to imprint...

All these complaints about US president abuse of power... Yet you guys do nothing. That is pretty pathetic. You guys are like a woman being beaten by her husband. You are afraid of the unknown, and love it when the powerful "benefactor" smiles upon you guys... you all live for the small...

bjjtrader, with a two-hand on one wrist-technique, I can tear off your ligaments - and the more you resist - the more painful the technique is. I have done this on champion power lifters and persons with Captain Crush 2... It is tried and tested - it works, and no matter of strength or...

Wrist/hand/finger manipulations also work just as well/better on the ground... Eye-gouging also works well on the ground.

São Paulo is one of the largest cities in the world - 24 million people living in the SP area. Of course it has massive crime, and corruption is rampant - exacerbating the problem. Rio de Janeiro is truly a cesspool of crime, like Mexico City - complete lawlessness and you can be killed or...

Pabst, if you are anti-militarism - then how can you support McCain or Palin? They both promise more conflict and wars. Obama goes for diplomacy and strengthening international collaboration - the sane option. McCain is loathsome of US "enemies" and represents old-money. Islamophobia is...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Einstein#Politics Einstein publicly stated reservations about the proposal to partition the British-supervised British Mandate of Palestine into independent Arab and Jewish countries. In a 1938 speech, "Our Debt to Zionism", he said: "I am afraid of the...

Einstein was a Zionist. He had a political agenda. I don't think Einstein was blind, but he had his reasons and agenda for speaking about religion etc. I have no problems reasoning about reality, rationality, knowledge, living etc. I have no morality (religious phenomenon externally imposed...
