Sit in my lazy boy nekked with bags of frozen peas under my armpits. - That's just for fun. To really beat the heat I got one of those Slush Puppy machines and I fill the tub with it. Tasty bath yum. But seriously I don't have anything to beat the heat except one of those little hand held fans and some hot beer.

I roll in it happily like an old boar hog, kicking up a cloud of dust and flies. All I have to do is think about minus 20 degree temperatures, bundled up in four or five layers of clothing and still having the cold bite at my face, hands and toes to make this feel like a treat!

LadyJ 3 years, 12 months ago
Years ago I remember driving through a trailer court here in town and seeing a mobile home with one of those sprinkle water hoses (with holes punched in it) stretched lengthwise across the top with the water coming out of it. I believe water was included in the lot rent so cooling the outside of the trailer was probably better than running the AC.

2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK55 AMG Problems
The instrument cluster display may lose pixels and need replacement. However, if the back lighting bulbs for the odometer display in the center of the cluster burn out, they can be replaced.
The crankshaft position sensor may fail. Symptoms of this are: The engine will crank—but not start—especially when the engine is warm. The car may start again if it is left to cool off, but it may run roughly or have poor performance.
An engine oil leak may develop from the oil level sensor. Replacement of the leaking sensor will commonly correct this concern.

All that glitters, it would seem, is not gold.
As real as it gets?
EA Sports UFC, the latest entry into the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) video game market, hit store shelves last week (June 17, 2014) to much fanfare. Unfortunately, it only managed to pull a score of 71 on MetaCritic (6.5 user score) for PlayStation 4.
That's a C- in academic terms.
The publishing giant earned high marks in terms of appearance, as the game "looks great" and has "incredible detail." But on the flip side, users were disappointed by the "frustrating mechanics" and "glaring technical issues," like recurring "bugs" and bizarre "glitches."
And the folks at MMA Junkie were able to compile a hilarious compilation of what can -- and often will -- go wrong.

Colorado Rockies Extend Spring Training Invitation To Promising Lefty
Sunday was an important day for the Colorado Rockies. Sunday was the day the catchers and pitchers were scheduled to report in Arizona for Spring Training, which means Sunday could unofficially be called the start of the 2013 MLB season.
For many athletes, this is the moment they have spent their entire lives dreaming about. It is their shot at the Big Leagues, their shot at center stage under the bright lights, it is their shot at playing the game they love at its absolute highest level.
Such is the case for left-handed 23 year-old Tyler Anderson, who received an invitation from the Rockies last Tuesday. Anderson was the Rockies first round draft pick in 2011 and has been impressing everyone within the organization since.
He comes across as a well-rounded, honest young man who is eager for his opportunity to play ball. In Asheville, where Anderson played AA ball to start his career, the prospect gathered a 12-3 record while earning a 2.47 ERA in 120 plus innings of work. The numbers have been impressive enough to get the attention of the new skipper in Colorado, Walt Weiss.
Rockies fans should get excited about this guy being invited to Spring Training. The team's pitching staff was abysmal in 2012, and a guy like Anderson could come in and immediately go to work as a productive member of the Rockies rotation. This could turn out to be crucial for a struggling bullpen hoping to turn it around in 2013.
Fans of the Rockies should watch this situation carefully. Getting an invite to participate in Arizona is a long ways from being invited to play in Denver and the young Tyler Anderson knows it. For his part, the talented lefty will keep his head down, do his job and try to get better every day. It seems to be the way the Denver sports stars get it done nowadays.

The Bones Vienna Chorus analog chorus pedal features dual-mode functionality to allow the guitarist to transition between a subtle choral effect for rhythm and quickly toggle to an exaggerated effect for soloing or special effects.
The Vienna Chorus follows the release of four other pedals in the Bones Series. It features a compact footprint and employs standard 9-volt powering for easy interface on any pedalboard. Two independent channels with individual speed and intensity controls are provided for each to create two very different sonic textures. With two footswitches, the Vienna can be bypassed, activated and toggled between channels quickly for on-the-fly effects. For even more fun, the Vienna is equipped with Turbo mode to produce extreme chorusing effects. Requires standard 9V power supply.

Hi. Can anyone including Watchmaker explain to me why Javier Castelano has only 5 wins to date at the meet? Is this just bad luck, or the Agents fault, or combination of both.
Tell me one other newspaper or magazine in the country where you could spend, lets say, $250 or more per year, and still get charged to read their regular articles? With most major newspapers struggling to stay afloat, when you can click your mouse and read the news free, but even certain sports magazines can be bought much cheaper with a yearly subscription than DRF plus. I agree that DRF needed to make changes, but they went from one extreme ( free to everybody, even if you never buy anything all year), to ridiculous charges to read 99% of their articles( even if you spend $250 buying their other products). Overreacted badly and gouged good customers.
big blue kitten 4th, you must put a lot of thought into your list maybe 5 seconds. main sequence ran 2 bad races, wise dan hasn't run this year and california chrome hasn't run on turf in a year how do you put any of them in front of big blue kitten
Horse of the year is Lady Eli, in my opinion. In both Grade 1 wins the time was 2 seconds faster than the male division race each day. Would love to see ownership consider cross enter of Lady Eli in three Breeder cup races, including the Classic . She has no peers on the grass. Why not spice up the Classic? Would also get weight break. John F
Depending on what happens this summer,it looks like there are some decsions to be made for Lady Eli...will it be the BC filly and mare turf? will it be the BC TURF on the saturday? Or,given recent successes,The Arc? Maybe 2016 for that one.
After her breathtaking performance in the Gr1 Mother Goose ,joining past winners like Ruffian,Rachel Alexandra ,Davona Dale,Untapable,Close Hatches,Serenas Song,Go For Wand,etc...A bad ride in the Oaks,2nd in The Black Eyed Susan,with absolutely no pace to run at ,you think that Include Betty s the 10th best 3year old filly?
Watchmaker, do you know where any other top 3 and 4 yr old's are being pointed to? Dortmund, Firing Line, Frosted, Tonalist, etc.. ? It would be a great race if they, and Shared Beleif , Chrome, Pharoah all run in the BC Classic. How about an update? It's not like you guys got anything else to do.
I think Frosted should be ahead of Firing Line. FL hasn't won anything higher than a grade 3!
My feelings for older dirt female...if there were a 1 mile dirt race (or less) next week...Judy would be the favorite
Mike Watchmaker-June 23, 2015 Hi, I see that you do not have under 3 year old males, TEXAS RED. I know he was sidelined, but has been training well and scheduled to rung in 2 weeks, on 4th of July. This horse has become the Dangerfield horse, No Respect! He may depending on his return performance run in the Travers Stakes race in August at Saratoga. More than potential, and any racing fan would enjoy how he runs, or like in the Breeders Cup run down horses like FOREGO used to do years ago.

SanDisk X210 Business Class 512GB SSD Review - Benchmarks - AIDA64 Random Access Time
AIDA64 Random Access Time
Version and / or Patch Used: 1.60
Developer Homepage: http://www.aida64.com
Product Homepage: http://www.aida64.com
AIDA64 offers several different benchmarks for testing and optimizing your system or network. The Random Access test is one of very few if not only that will measure hard drives random access times in hundredths of milliseconds as oppose to tens of milliseconds.
Drives with only one or two tests displayed in the write test mean that they have failed the test and their Maximum and possibly their Average Scores were very high after the cache fills. This usually happens only with controllers manufactured by Jmicron.
The SanDisk X210 512GB delivers consistent read latency, but it's a bit higher than many of the other drives on the chart.
The write latency had a few peaks and some variability. This is expected since SanDisk uses nCache on this drive to write data to a SLC like layer on the NAND.

Think Progress dove into a 2013 incident when a University of North Texas student named Derek Elrod rushed fraternity Sigma Phi Epsilon. Elrod speaks of a hazing incident which involved drinking straight vodka and being forced to do "complete countless push-ups":
At that point, Elrod, who had been diagnosed in 2005 with a permanent medical condition involving abnormal nervous system functions, began to panic.
"I don't even know how to explain the amount of mental anguish I was in," he told ThinkProgress. "I felt like I was trapped…The lights were off, the blinds were closed…the door was closed, and there were guys in front of it…I had gotten to the point where I couldn't even lift my own body up. It was the first moment in my life that I could not lift my own body up from the ground…I felt like I was not free to leave."
Elrod eventually did get himself up, raced down the stairs, and dialed 911. According to video footage obtained by ThinkProgress, Randall denied Elrod's allegations when the police officer arrived at the fraternity house, telling him: "We just kinda didn't want him here because we thought he was on the homosexual side."
"For our pledges, we just get like, 'hey, you know man, he's kind of on the weird side of heterosexual,'" Randall remarked. "I honestly thought he was homosexual. Hey guys, we shouldn't invite him over to our house. It's kind of weird that he is here."
When the officer pressed: "You don't like him because you think he is a homosexual?" Randall responded: "Honestly, yes…I mean, you get where I'm coming from?"
View the video above for more. Elrod was afterward told by the fraternity chapter to have no further contact with its membership. Read the whole thing to learn how the fraternity's national organization has reacted (or, actually, not reacted).Full Story
By the fall of 2018, three new medical degree programs will be online in Central, North, and South Texas. But a challenge remains: MD students need residencies. And there's a concern that Texas isn't adding enough to keep up with demand. According to TMA figures, there were just 24 more residency positions than graduates in 2013. Is the state doing enough to provide these new graduates with residency slots in Texas? Full StoryFull Story

Last week Mike Miles quit as the head of the Dallas Independent School District, which isn't terribly surprising considering members of the schools board seemed determined to run him out of town. Is DISD better off now?Full Story
This one's pretty self-explanatory. On his way out of town, former DISD superintendent Mike Miles stopped by the SAGA Pod world headquarters to discuss all things education: teacher evaluations, pre-K, bonds — you know, the sexy stuff. Also, I tell him he's "stubborn as hell" — so that was fun. Remember, the iTunes link is here if you wanna subscribe. As always, please listen with your ears.Full Story

Barring a last-minute change of heart or trustees changing their minds, DISD superintendent Mike Miles plans to resign at a morning press conference, according to multiple sources.
The decision comes after the board refused to consider amending Miles' contract to protect him from repercussions if he was fired this year — an increasingly likely scenario given some board members' seething hatred of the man who tried to break up their fiefdoms.
But that is really just the culmination of a long slog Miles has endured as he fought to pass reform initiatives, including a revolutionary teacher and principal evaluation system, school choice, preK expansion, and others.
If you care about kids, especially poor kids, make no mistake: This is a sad day for Dallas.

Todd Williams is one of the leading education advocates in Dallas. He runs a nonprofit, Commit, that works with Dallas County schools to find data-driven solutions to tough education problems. He is the mayor's advisor on education policy. And he is one of the smartest people in Texas on education matters in general. He's asked that Learning Curve publish the guest column below, which takes an in-depth look at the core issues behind stagnant test scores in Dallas County and Texas — and which makes recommendations for improving these scores.
Todd's column is below:
There's been much recent discussion on why 2015 STAAR scores were once again stagnant, both at the state and local level within Dallas ISD, continuing a trend over the past four years. The questions raised were consistent. "Is it the assessment? Do we have the wrong standards? Why aren't we making progress?"
My immediate reaction was to simply ask, "What have we really done to expect anything other than what we're seeing?"

I've been avoiding writing about this kerfuffle for weeks. The one about three principals — Joy Morris at Wilmer-Hutchins Elementary, Dinnah Escanilla at North Dallas High, and Anna Brining at Rosemont middle and elementary schools – whose contract non-renewals were overturned by trustees but who were then fired by Mike Miles. I've avoided it because it involves personnel decisions at Dallas ISD, which means it involves people's careers. Because the personnel files of most Chapter 21 employees (i.e., most educators) are confidential, I don't like having to take someone's word on what is contained therein. And unlike, say, Brett Shipp, I don't like suggesting I know someone's motivation just because it fits my narrative.
So I'm not going to be able to tell you what I think I know about Mike Miles' decision to terminate three principals after the board of trustees had seemingly saved their jobs by declining to non-renew their contracts. (I'll explain the difference soon.)
But I do want to explain the process that is going on here, because I find that most people don't understand the issues that skew reporting on personnel matters. And almost nobody seems to know the difference between […]Full Story
McKinney School Forbids Message of Tolerance. About 15 students at Faubion Middle School on Wednesday wore shirts sporting the phrase "Gay O.K" — in support of a seventh-grader who was being bullied — and were asked to change clothes.

Flood Damages Cost Millions. Sewage has spilled into Lake Carolyn in Irving, and it can't be cleaned up until the water recedes.

I got sidetracked on school finance, but I want to come back to something I promised last week: Looking at how the newspaper's editorial writers fail to put school testing results in context. Since I just asked you to slog through 2K words on bridge plans and general operating funds, I will try to keep this as short and sweet as possible.
Recall I had problems with the way the DMN characterized the incomplete STAAR results. If you haven't read Jeffrey Weiss's excellent responses in the comments, please do so. He says that even if the paper should have been clearer about not including Spanish language STAAR results in its headline/analysis, the results when they're included still are mixed-to-poor. I don't disagree with him – I say in fact that I'm not defending DISD's STAAR performance, I'm criticizing how incomplete data sets are presented to the public.
In any case, that DMN story begat three editorial board posts: […]Full Story
Brett Shipp needs help. Actually, he may be beyond help. But I'm going to try to explain school finance to him one more time, since he seems determined to pretend to report on DISD. His latest example of journalistic malfeasance can be found here.
So, what you should do to prep for this post is watch the video above, cued to the 1:46 mark, for about 10 and a half minutes. (For some reason, I can't get embeds to work right. If it cues to the wrong spot, just click this link.) It's from this past Thursday's board meeting, and it features DISD CFO Jim Terry, trustee Joyce Foreman, trustee Bernadette Nutall, and trustee Mike Morath talking budget stuff. Watch until Foreman gives my favorite quote of the year: "I don't like being corrected when I know I'm right." This segment will give you the background you need to read this primer, which will explain why Shipp's story that DISD is in some sort of financial straights is complete bulsh.
(As an aside, a similar DMN story also quoted ignorant trustees about the same issue, but at least it added the correct information at story's end.)
In fact, Brett Shipp's fantasy segment has so much wrong with it, we're going to have to break the first part of it down piece by piece. Let's do this: […]Full Story
Jerry Jones Gets a New Hip. This David Moore story about the Cowboys owner is funny. Read it closely and it sounds a little like we're reading about Putin in a Russian newspaper. "He has undergone hip replacement surgery but it won't keep the Cowboys owner away from training camp. He won't even need a cane to walk off the plane in Oxnard. This is just like when he had shoulder surgery and only missed one day of work. He is a fifth-degree black belt and has been known to engage three-day, nonstop lovemaking sessions."
Police Looking for Man Accused of Sexually Assaulting Women in Far North Dallas. Safety tip: if you meet a guy and he asks if you'll let him give you a massage because he's studying to be a masseur and needs to practice for a test, be a little suspicious.
Rowlett Cop Saves Toddler's Life. Solid work by Officer Patrick Ray. But this Fox 4 story calls his actions heroic. Let's be careful with that word, people. The girl had a coin stuck in her throat. He cleared her airway. It is possible to save a life without being heroic.
Hinojosa To Be Permanent DISD Super? Michael Hinojosa is the interim superintendent for the district, but this story says, "FOX 4 has learned that a majority of school board members are open to considering him for the permanent job."

Bush and Clinton Play Nice. Though former presidents George W. and Bill each have a family member vying to win the White House in 2016, they shared the stage last evening to celebrate the graduation of the first class of Presidential Leadership Scholars at the Bush Presidential Center:

Former Morning News Editor Takes UNT Gig. Bob Mong, who retired from our local daily newspaper in May, is apparently already sick of spending more time with his family. He's been named the lone finalist for the presidency of the Dallas campus of the University of North Texas. The current president, Ronald Brown, is being promoted to run the university system's health care programs, including the newly announced medical school in Fort Worth. I'll always remember how Mong took the time to write me a short note of praise for a column I'd written for the group of community news sections I once ran at the DMN. He understood that it means a lot to know the guy in the big office on the other side of the building is actually reading your stuff, especially when it's not the stuff on the front page. He was extremely kind and supportive of our team's work — not to mention a surprisingly good softball player. Big congrats to him.
Blind Alligator Removed From the Trinity in Fort Worth. "Nuisance Alligator Hunter" is not a new Animal Planet series.

The animal was safely moved to a nature preserve.
Lake Dallas Mayor Resigns Without Explanation. Tony Marino stepped down as the top elected official in the small Denton County city last night, just a few weeks after the shady shenanigans in which he and the city manager/police chief seemed to have engineered the ouster of a newly elected city council member who'd been critical of them. Marino's replacement, Mike McCaleb, vowed to bring the "wounded" city back together, descending from the dais to address those in attendance:
McCaleb began to cry. "I'm a big baby, too," he said. "My sister used to accuse me of having a bladder behind my eyes."
Many residents laughed at his joke.

Hood County Threatened With Gay-Marriage Lawsuit. Two men in Granbury want to exercise the right to which the Supreme Court last week affirmed they are entitled, but the men so far have been denied. They've now moved towards taking legal action against the county government for not issuing them a license. Meanwhile dueling rallies converged upon the courthouse Thursday to express their support for, or opposition to, the county clerk's refusal to comply with the law.
UNT, TCU to Partner on Medical School. It'd be only the second program in Dallas-Fort Worth to confer M.D. degrees. Though neither university has confirmed the news, sources told the Fort Worth Business Press that the board of trustees for the UNT Health Science Center in Fort Worth is expected to vote on the plan Monday. UNT already operates the Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine there, and the school's previously announced intention to add a medical school has been opposed in the past by osteopaths. TCU would provide much of the funding that the state has so far declined to contribute to the effort.

Interim DISD Chief Supports Teacher Evaluation System.

After days of negotiation, a majority of Dallas ISD trustees plan to vote tonight to name Mike Miles' predecessor, Michael Hinojosa, as the interim superintendent, according to multiple administration and board sources.
Hinojosa left the district in 2011, went to Georgia to run a suburban Atlanta district, then quit in 2014 to return to his family in Texas and work for an education company. The reason trustees see him as the best possible interim superintendent: he won't want the job full-time, he has credibility with many disparate stakeholders in the DISD community (Bill Betzen loves him!), and yet he will gladly sign on to promote the district's (likely) bond package (he sold the last bond package) and protect Miles' key reform initiatives. That's because Hinojosa was seen as sort of a "pre-reformer" — laying the groundwork for teacher evaluation, bringing in TFA, etc.
The key quality trustees feel that he brings: stability. He's likely to keep the cabinet in place, and gives hope that the full-time successor will do so as well.Full Story

The impending physician shortage has now bubbled to the surface. And politicians both at the state and federal levels are doing something about it. Texas is facing a broad need, particularly in the wide-open rural counties and in urban sectors where poverty is rampant and infrastructure is lacking.

Philanthropist Lyda Hill has given UT Southwestern Medical Center a $25 million gift to go toward funding a new Department of Bioinformatics, which will develop a discipline to analyze broad data sets to better identify and treat disease. Full StoryFull Story
Over on Learning Curve, Eric bristles at the suggestion made by Morning News editorial writers that because Dallas ISD was making gains in its TAKS standardized test results under previous superintendent Michael Hinojosa, current superintendent Mike Miles should be faulted for not continuing the trend in the recently released STAAR scores.
The problem is that what occurred under Hinojosa was something of a mirage:
Full Story
Because TAKS, the state realized, was measuring not what kids knew nor whether they could think, but how well they had been trained to take the TAKS test. In edu speak, TAKS wasn't "rigorous." That's why the state switched to STAAR, a more-rigorous test in many ways. (Too rigorous, many critics contend.)
The funny thing is, the state got exactly what it wanted – a tougher test that would better give educators a sense of where kids really stood in relation to the rest of the nation and the world. But that has caused everybody to freak out. Because it turns out that our state isn't making any noticeable educational progress. It hasn't for years (see the NAEP or SAT data, which goes back far longer than TAKS). But our state has, up until about three years ago with the advent of STAAR, hidden that fact with easy tests that have shown consistent gains (statewide, and in DISD). This is partly because of the Faustian bargain everyone made with TAKS (and its predecessors): educators, media, parents, all the stakeholders in the game said, "Look, we really just want to report year-over-year improvement; it makes everyone feel better." In fact, a TEA official was complaining just last week about this, wondering just WHY these damn STAAR test results are flat.

Firstly, I am compelled as a man of conscience to challenge the premise of your question. I'm not at all convinced that it is proper to encourage the unwashed masses towards literary interests.

Everyone remember that even if you don't make 200K, small businesses like pizza shops, drycleaners, mechanics and others, which CREATE jobs will be hit by this tax hike. 200K is GROSS income. Just because your company MAKES 200k+, doesn't mean that's your income after taxes, employee paychecks, insurance, supplies... etc.
Comment from Paul Schroder, (12/21/2010, 5:28 PM)
More benefits. More tax cuts. And 2 foreign wars. A bit more of this and we'll be in the money if we can keep spending more and getting even less revenue. Paris Hilton gets another tax cut. No country has ever cut taxes at a time of war.

how about buying lots of fortune cookies?
Its a huge imbalance, and enormous shift of wealth from one of the richest countries to one that of the poorest. Americans will suffer, Chinese will benefit and the global wealth gap will narrow - with the commensurate decline in the clout of traditional western values: freedom, individual liberty, democracy, economic fairness.

Food nice, clean and tidy, can be cramped as lots of seats and tables in a very small space (not great for pushchiars)
Great management team! Sensory room is well built and great for younger children! Frozen party is great value for money! Staff are really friendly, food is of good quality and an overall great experience!
Great play centre don't get me wrong with great variety of soft play equipment, disco and sensory room as well as good food. However staff need to be more aware of what is going on. Only 2 members of staff present on an extremely busy day, numerous adults on the play equipment with shoes on or no socks on at...
A clean indoor play area. Lots for young children to play on. Great disco room and sensory room for toddlers. Food and drinks are available but could be more extensive. Safe fun for young children.
lovely place for a family with small children. Wouldn't say it's a day out but could easily and happily spend a few hours in here. It's cafe is very reasonable and it has areas that are suitable from newborns up to older kids too. Well worth a visit
My family like Funky Town - the children love it. It is smaller and the acoustics are better than some of the others (less echoing shrieks :-) ) The main area is good, but the baby area is less interesting than some other soft plays. The food is OK and better than another soft play area we attend -( I...
Funky town is simply the best indoor play area i have been in Chester and i have been in all of them. It's clean, food is tasty, i had always choice of alternative milk, healthy sweets, dairy free, meat free, gluten free meals/snacks/cakes.
People who works in funky town r nice, friendly, smiling a lot, i just feel like home....
I went here recently with friends and was pleasantly surprised.
My daughter loved it and liked the option of nipping in the disco room for a quick boogie!

well the kids had an amazing time here for our first visit. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the children so happy playing which you don't always get at play barns. Will definitely be returning over the Xmas holidays. See you again soon
Can't understand the negative reviews - this is the best play barn in Chester. Really clean and tidy and well organised.

Comments about 'Sen. Mike Lee wants Senate to review abortion policies'

@banderson - you don't understand the abortion supporters. Getting an
abortion is not equivalent to spilling popcorn, because spilling popcorn is
universally recognized as a mistake that should naturally cause some
embarrassment, however minor. The only mistake in the process of abortion, to
those who support it, is that the couple failed to use protection prior to
conception, and that's not deserving of embarrassment either, because
surely they were prevented from knowing about birth control by "those who
lived during biblical times." And only men who lived in biblical times,
because apparently all women support abortion, according to people like HVH.
Getting an abortion to these folks is more like choosing between buttered or unbuttered popcorn. No, because that may still involve a judgment about the healthiness of that food choice. Maybe more like choosing between red or green popcorn for a string popcorn decoration. No mistake, no judgment, no embarrassment.
You are right, of course, that proponents of legal abortion have shamelessly trivialized the taking of innocent human life to a morally inconsequential health care choice.

Hey, another politician trying to make government bigger. Senator Lee... you can't have it both ways! You call for smaller government, yet propose an oversite situation that will add to the government's involvement. I did not realize Senator Lee was a 'closet' democrat.

Veteran convertible bond analyst Jim Grantham is set to launch a firm called Conv.Biz, aimed at providing a range of services to hedge funds.The service will provide a daily "pre-opening convertible bond residuals journal", to be delivered to subscribers by 7:45am London time, looking at new flow from Bloomberg, legal reports and continental newspapers. An automated market-scanning chart service, checking globally for chart break-outs, risk analysis of prospectuses and trustees, and reports from roadshows, annual general meetings and extraordinary general meetings will also be available to clients, said Grantham
The service will take a maximum of eight hedge fund managers as clients, to limit costs while maintaining a level of exclusivity, added Grantham.
The company will comprise Malta-based Grantham and three associates based in the UK. His brother, John Grantham, will head the marketing effort and monitor quality and feedback. Stuart Wigfall, a bond manager, and David Norris, formerly head of investment company Law Debenture Corporation's trust management department, will complete the management team.
Grantham has more than 30 years' experience in the convertibles market. Four years ago, he set up Prospectusanalysis.com, a company based in Guernsey looking at prospectus risk. Conv.biz acquires the archives of his previous venture.
Grantham said the new company is a reflection of changing times in the market. Convertible bond prices substantially reflect their binomial values, he said. "The hunt is on for hidden value, for cyclical volatility or market events that cause a share price to move non-randomly," he added.
