  5. For those who are allergic to the protein in wheat, I'll be posting gluten-free recipes that I've collected over the years. Here's the first one..... Yellow Cake A light and fluffy yellow cake that is equally light in color and taste. The subtle vanilla flavor is perfect with a wide selection of complementary icings. Ingredients 4 Eggs 1 1/2 Cups Sugar 2 Cups Sour Cream 1/2 Cup (1 Stick) Butter 2 Teaspoons Vanilla (Celar variety is best for maintaining light color of cake) 2 Teaspoons Baking Powder 1 Teaspoon Baking Soda 1 Cup Cornstarch 1/2 Cup Glutinous Rice Flour 1/2 Cup Tapioca Floour 2 Cups White Riche Flour Yield Two 9" Round Cakes Steps With mixer, mix the eggs and sugar together on medium-high speed for about two minutes until the batter takes on a fluffy lemon-yellow appearance.

  7. Just a lil more of Frank26 Looks like the ante got upped to get the budget passed. Now Budget……….. IMO and Hypothetically speaking of course, If you were the US and you had Art 7 as leverage for Iraq to RI their currency how would you play it? I would want to make sure that Iraq held up to their end of the deal. Now if the Exchange Rate Mech was in the budget then the US knows its done and can release Iraq from Art 7 and M can make his announcement. I wish to share the following with you Family……..our team last week reported that the budget would be passed this week. Yesterday a military source from Iraq sent word to us not to be concerned that the budget was not passed as expected on Monday. They would pick up the politicians from their homes and drive them to parliament to make sure there were enough in attendance for a passage. That’s why I told you……not to worry yesterday……..that it would pass today. We were also told that at 6am this morning Shabibi and his full staff met at the CBI for ……..obvious reasons. I have taken us to 9.5 as of today. We are looking for O to quickly mention that Iraq is a sovereign nation. If he mentions that CH7 is lifted………then we are at the highest level of alert for the RI announcement that we have ever been at ………..on the 29th ……..this coming Friday. I mentioned this yesterday and I find it important enough to call your attention to it again. The four major banks……for the first time are seeing the IQD with her rate. This can only be seen internally within the banking systems. High level management has the ability to see activities from their mother banks. They are seeing the banking systems communicate with each other on their own. Data, such as a rate……..will appear so that the computers acknowledge. This type of data only stays up for 5 to 15 minutes. Yesterday night I answered a post about the area code. I gave what I considered to be a possible spread. Go back and find it on your own if you wish to see it. Please do not bring it forward……..leave it where it is at………but use it for your knowledge. IMO……….the CBI may possibly refuse to put up any info this coming Friday. First of all it’s a religious holiday for them. Second of all……..it’s their bank……..it’s their currency……it’s their country……they can do whatever they want. But I will tell you this………our government will let the four major banks know and automatically FOREX and other counters will pick it up instantly. Stay with FOREX Family…….especially on Friday. Here’s an interesting side note……our team has noticed that websites once easily accessible……..are no longer available. Such as Maliki’s website……the Cabinet Minister’s and many main government websites cannot be found any longer. The one that really makes me smile is Naharain site. This is where our newshounds like to get a lot of their articles. Right now Family the less you know………the greater the security for the GOI.
  8. Good evening Family, You are asleep in bed on a cold winter night and you are in denial to awaken. The first crack of light comes through the curtains and hits you in your closed eyes triggering your brain to produce adrenalin as a stimulus to wake you up. But you refuse to answer the beckoning call. The alarm clock does it

  10. Al-Maliki fights for political survival http://www.upi.com/Top_News/Special/2010/01/14/Al-Maliki-fights-for-political-survival/UPI-83131263503479/ BAGHDAD, Jan. 14 (UPI) -- Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, his re-election prospects seriously damaged by a wave of suicide bombings in Baghdad that killed 400 people, is fighting for political survival. There is talk of a coup in the air, reflecting the deep sense of foreboding that pervades Baghdad amid rising violence, a frenzy of political intrigue and mounting Iranian interference in the run-up to the parliamentary elections slated for March 7. Maliki, under fire particularly from his own constituency among the Shiite majority, is striking out in all directions as he scrambles to stay in a political race that shows every sign of degenerating into sectarian bloodshed. Last week he banned at least 15 political parties from contesting the elections, which will effectively determine whether the Americans leave behind a democratic, unified state or a land plunged into civil war. The events of the next few weeks will also determine whether U.S. President Barack Obama feels confident enough to continue with the gradual withdrawal of U.S. combat forces that began last June. All the parties blacklisted by Maliki were either from the Sunni minority or were connected to it. The prime minister has blamed the suicide bombings on remnants of the outlawed Baath Party, the political instrument through which Saddam Hussein ruled Iraq for nearly three decades until his downfall in April 2003. That has, at a stroke, shattered any expectation of a reconciliation between the minority Sunnis, who were the backbone of Saddam's regime, and the Shiites, who were brutally repressed by that tyranny. In the last three years, under U.S. tutelage, the Sunnis were persuaded, largely through large amounts of money and promises of immunity from prosecution, to abandon the insurgency they had led since the U.S.-led invasion. Maliki has prevented tens of thousands of these former insurgents from being absorbed into Iraq's postwar security forces or the civil service, even though the U.S. pledge of political inclusion played a key role in convincing the Sunni fighters to change sides. Sunni antagonism was heightened Thursday when a Baghdad court sentenced to death 11 men -- all Sunnis -- for involvement in the first wave of suicide bombings in the capital on Aug. 19 in which more than 100 people were slaughtered. Maliki has ordered a major security operation to prevent further bombings, with hundreds of arrests reported. His forces claimed Tuesday they had seized a cache of 800 pounds of explosives and prevented a new wave of bombings against government ministries in the capital. The veracity of that claim is difficult to determine. Baghdad was locked down for a time, raising fears of a coup plot. The government denied there was one. The coup fears may have been exaggerated, but they were not fanciful, since even some Shiites have been increasingly critical of Maliki in recent days as the situation deteriorates. Last week former British Ambassador to Baghdad John Jenkins testified before a London inquiry investigating Britain's involvement in the invasion that a coup in Iraq now is "a real possibility." It seems evident that Iran's Shiite allies are involved in -- if not behind -- the move to sideline key Sunni leaders and their followers in the election. This is a dangerous course to take, even without the current upheavals and uncertainty. The last time Tehran sought to marginalize Sunnis with a Baathist past was in the run-up to the 2005 elections. That resulted in most Sunnis boycotting the polls and turning to the insurgency. Maliki, whose State of Law coalition is facing severe problems, has been reported to be seeking an alliance after the election with the Iranian-backed Iraqi National Coalition, a Shiite bloc, to form a new ruling coalition. U.S. security consultancy Stratfor said that was the result of "Iranian arm-twisting" so that Tehran can dominate the next Iraqi government and exert long-term influence over Iraqi affairs. Maliki, a Shiite who was given sanctuary in Iran during Saddam's rule, is well aware he needs to maintain relations with Tehran. But as an Iraqi nationalist he prefers to keep it at arm's length. However, he may be realizing that under the circumstances, increasingly assailed from all sides of Iraq's body politic, he has little choice but to make some sort of arrangement with Iran if he wants to win in March. He "now appears to be falling in line with Tehran's wishes," according to Stratfor.
