Team Penske Begins Preparation for Belle Isle Return
DETROIT, Mich. (June 1, 2012) – Team Penske spent time with an old friend on Friday, running practice laps on the Streets of Belle Isle for the first time since 2008.
The Team’s three drivers all finished in the top-ten of fastest times at the 2.1-mile, 14 turn circuit with Will Power pacing the field. Helio Castroneves tied for the most laps of the day with 23 as Team Penske drivers recorded a total of 62 laps on the day.
Current IZOD IndyCar Championship points leader Power lead all drivers with a fast lap of 72.8355 seconds in the No. 12 Verizon Team Penske car. The three time winner on road/street courses in 2012 enjoyed a productive day getting back in shape for the challenges of a street course after last week’s race on an oval at Indianapolis.
Indianapolis 500 Pole Winner Ryan Briscoe recorded the third fastest lap of the day at 73.1176 seconds. Briscoe used the practice session as time to get the No. 2 Hitachi car prepared for the challenges of the revamped Belle Isle track.
“It's pretty exciting to be back on a street course in the No.2 Hitachi car,” said Briscoe. “It is a total 180 from Indianapolis, it couldn't be more different. It felt good to get back into a rhythm out there. This track is very physical, but the car felt strong and I am looking forward to a good weekend.”
Castroneves, who won his first career race at Belle Isle in 2000, finished with a best lap of 73.8536 seconds, ranking ninth on the day. The current runner-up in the IZOD IndyCar Championship points standings will chase his second pole at Belle Isle on Saturday in the No. 3 Shell V-Power Pennzoil Ultra car.
“It was a good day for the Shell Pennzoil Ultra crew, they did a good job out there,” said Castroneves. “We were able to run in the dry and now we are going to look into our data to make sure we will be able to go fast tomorrow and continue to get better heading into Sunday.”
Team Penske will look to continue its sweep of pole wins in 2012 after starting the season taking the pole in the first five races. Teammates Briscoe and Power are tied at two for the most pole wins on the season. Adding to the pressure to perform is the fact that this is a home race for Team Penske.
“Roger (Penske) loves Detroit and wants to showcase Detroit, the city,” said Power. “He just wants the race to go well. Good weather. The way he has presented the track is fantastic. I think it would be great for one of his cars to win. I think he’d love that. Obviously that is what we are here to do and we are going to try our absolute best.”
Practice resumes Saturday morning at 9:00 a.m. with qualifying starting at 11:00 a.m. ET.
Live coverage of the Belle Isle race begins Sunday, June 3 at 3:30 p.m. ET on ABC-TV.

They’re similar to Pearl CastleI tried their Matcha Ice Cream Slush with Agar Jelly which was quite large in size to my surprise. The Matcha was not bad, but I wish it actually had ice cream in it. I didn’t really get the ice cream texture, and it was more like all slush and ice instead. It was my first time trying agar jelly, which I heard was pretty good. I wanted a change from the normal pearls and coconut jelly. To my surprise, it didn’t really have any flavour to it, but it had a very nice chewy texture - not as chewy as pearls or coconut jelly. Nice change for once, but I think I still prefer coconut jelly!

Treasury Targets Additional Iranian Accounts
by IPT News • Dec 212433/treasury-targets-additional-iranian-accounts
The U.S. Treasury Department has targeted a series of Iranian charitable trusts and its national shipping lines in the latest round of designations aimed at thwarting Iran's nuclear weapons program.
The trusts, called bonyads, receive government support but disclose little about their operations. The actions came under a presidential order targeting the assets of people involved with weapons of mass destruction.
The newly designated groups are "major institutional participants in Iran'ement issued Tuesday. Among the Iranian entities targeted is the Moallem Insurance Company for providing insurance to the shipping lines. The Liner Transport Kish also was designated for helping send weapons to Hizballah for the Revolutionary Guard, or IRGC.sury statement said.
Officials insist the U.S.'s widening sanctions program is being felt within Iran, but has yet to bring about the desired effect of persuading the government to back away from developing nuclear weapons.

Can You Name the 5 Most Common Kinds of Baseball Interference?
If you coach, play or watch baseball, you should be familiar with the term "baseball interference". Baseball interference is described as any infraction or action by a person that illegally alters the course of baseball play. The five types of interference are covered by the rules and different rules are applied in each type of interference. The 5 kinds of interference can be committed either by an offensive player, a player off the bench, a catcher, an umpire, and a spectator. This article describes and explains the 5 most common kinds of interference called by umpires.ut? A player can commit what is called "Verbal Interference" from the dugout. Verbal interference may also be called on an offensive player. Callingto confuse or hinder a defensive play is offensive verbal interference.
When a catcher physically hinders the swing of a batter, Catcher interference is called. Catcher interference is most commonly called when the bat touches the catching mitt during a swing. This most frequently occurs when a runner is attempting to steal and the catcher is too anxious to catch the ball. When catcher interference occurs, play continues, and after continuous playing action ceases, the umpire will call time. The b The catcher is charged with an error.
4. Score each session. Habitually, score and record each session. This will give you a target to shoot at for your next round and encourage you to out-do your last performance. By making each session a competition, you will get more out of it as you try to get a higher score each time.

Unlike the suicide squeeze, with the safety squeeze the runner on third base does NOT commit to running until after he sees the ball hit the ground and then makes a quick decision.
The disadvantage of the safety squeeze is that there are not that many efficient bunters around to make a good enough bunt to get the runner home safely.
Bunting is a little bit of a lost art and not too many players at any level of play are efficient bunters.
You can possibly come in late in a game and have a major impact on your team winning the game.
It falls into the category of "little things" that are not little at all.
You sit on the bench for two hours, come into the game and help your team win, thus becoming a major contributor. Pretty good huh?

The pitcher should go through as pre-toss motion that simulates a pitchers wind-up. The batter is to use this motion to load and "trigger". The pitcher should obeserbve the batter and not toss it if the batter does not "go to the proper load" body position.
The pitcher will often get the ball up and hold it at the toss or release point or fake a toss. This makes the hitter stay loaded and back. This teaches the hitter to not guess or lunge.

Mike Schim has been a baseball fan for nearly 30 years. As a child he enjoyed playing catch with very old, well worn baseball gloves. He now plays ball with friends and teaches his family and kids how to play ball. You can read more of his articles at http://www.2PlayBall.com and he also writes for http://www.TeachMeSports.com. Mike hopes that his passion for writing about baseball will help everyone more thoroughly enjoy the game.
My oldest son played eighta 6'5 left -handed pitcher and growing up he had good arm strength. But he also was tall, awkward, and lacked good body control at a young age. This lack of body control caused him to struggle with controlling his pitches. Due to his wildness in youth leagues some kids were afraid to bat off him, but at the same time he was afraid of hitting a batter or even causing injury to one of his peers. One opposing coach asked him politely to not "throw so hard", but that only caused him more fear. Until he began to trust his mechanics and develop some confidence, those fears kept him from reaching his potential. Fortunately for him, he matured in his early days of high school and was able to experience success.
Self Talk - Players can use self talkus from fears to the goal at the time. For example, simple phrases like "I want the ball" or "this batter is mine" can be repeated to themselves (when no one is listening) and will help the player focus on the task at hand and drive out negative thoughts. It's amazing how well this works.
Hustle and Encouragement - When players loose their confidence they stop hustling and lose energy. This lack of energy (or negative energy) is contagious with other team members Players must practice hustling at all times and encouraging others, even when things are not going well for themselves. Amazingly, this positive energy will translate into confidence and results.

Procedure - The pitcher throws using his normal motion and delivery. If the pitcher fails to clear the object, then his back foot is "dragging" or he is over striding. Young pitchers should be coached to step out of the "hold" and up and over the block.
 The reference is to the height of the back elbow when hitting. You will very often hear this hollered to a young player by a coach, manager or one of his parents. Some raise their back elbow up by their back ear. This is NOT a comfortable position for most hitters. It's much more efficient to have the back elbow just below shoulder height. If a hitter wants to make an adjustment up or down, only then should the back elbow be raised or lowered.
If you're going to get beat, get beat on your best pitch. Let's say that a pitcher's best pitch is the fastball and the batter is a very good fastball hitter. Let's say that the pitcher's second best pitch is a good curve ball and that batter has had trouble with his curve ball in the pastI.
The perfect count to put on the hit and run is 2-0 or 3-1. This started several decades ago is very played out.To have a batter be forced to swing at a 2-0 pitch that would be a ball and make the count 3-0 is senseless.The same holds true on the 3-1 count. To have a batter be forced to swing at a 3-1 pitch that would be ball 4 is a scary strategy.
One of the most common baseball hitting drills is the side-flip drill. This drill involves a coach kneeling off to the opposite side of hitters and flipping balls into the hitting zone for players to practice their hitting. The more I worked with hitters over the past 20 years the less value I saw with this side-flip drill. It does promote players watching the ball and may help hand eye coordination, but does not promote a better baseball swing.  Also, coaches of young players tend to flip balls in the same spot, in the batters' swing path so they are virtually hitting the ball for the player. There are better alternatives that promote an improved baseball swing. Obviously, a better alternative is having a coach flip balls straight at the hitter from the front like in a game and behind a screen, but this is not always possible.
In the first 10 minutes have players each find a teammate to warm up with by throwing and catching with each other. If a player does not have a partner, an assistant coach should throw and catch with the player.
In then next 1 hour divide the team up as follows: Have your 3 starting pitchers and starting catcher in the pitching & catching group, have half of the remaining players in an infield practice group, and have the remaining players in an outfield practice group.
Have one of the pitchers throwing to the catcher (in full catcher's gear) while the other two pitchers throw to each other. Have all the pitchers switch off after ten pitches to the catcher so all pitchers have a chance to throw to the catcher. Have a coach watch the pitching form of each pitcher.
Have the infield group cover all the infield positions with extra players going to the outfield.  Have extra players assume the roles of base runners. Rotate the infield positions after every few hits.
Have your outfield group spread out in a wide semi-circle in pairs of two with each two players about 8 feet from each other.  The player closest to the ball calls it and the other plays backup. Stress the need for good backup! Only 2 outfielders should be involved with each throw but you can keep the hits/throws going as quick as possible. It is nice to have an extra helper to the coach to gather balls as they are returned.
Devote the last 30 minutes to batting practice. Use a variety of batting drills and make sure every player gets a lot of practice.

take-out is. Those who don't want to tempt fate can take out above Root Ball. Many folks end
their trip here and hike their boat back upstream to run laps on this short reach (approximately
0.4 mile) that contains the best rapids.
Those who wish to extend the run can portage Franklin Falls (typically done by driving the boats
down to the lower access) and continue on downstream to Denny Creek Campground. This section
known as the Denny Creek run is about a mile in length and the first half is another notch up in
difficulty and requires at least one arduous portage (double check that you have your rope). Look
for about 400 cfs as an ideal level for this section below Franklin Falls (250 would be possible
but bumpy and up above 600 cfs things could get tricky at the portage). You can scout much of
this section by driving downstream and through a series of switchbacks until you get to a point
where a trail meets the road and you'll want to do this as wood can become lodged in the gorge
creating hazards that may be tricky to portage. This trail runs along river left between the
campground and Franklin Falls. From the pool at the base of Franklin Falls, the river races off
downstream through some boulder garden rapids and then takes the plunge over a pair of waterfalls
in a tight gorge section. The first is in the 10-15' range and the second is just over 20'.
Scouting the landing zone from the trail is recommended, but the first is run down the left and
the second to the right. A short distance downstream of the waterfalls the river squeezes through
another tight gorge at Z Turn. You have another couple ledges before a mandatory portage where
the river plunges over a 30' falls that lands on some rocks (this is just upstream of the point
where the road meets the trail). Be sure to scout the approach to this one to make sure you can
get out safely above the drop. This will involve roping your boats up to the trail and it's
There is a decent path back down to the river below the falls and from here on down the run is
straight forward with the exception of potential wood hazards. The best part of this lower reach
is a long class IV rapid where the river slides over a set of several fun ledges ending at the
campground (photo). You can
run laps on this long rapid by hiking back up the trail along river left and this is a good
option if the stuff upstream is running a bit high for your tastes.

EP track by track: Blood & Bone
17/08/2012 • 2 Comments •Buffalo Tales Music News
Blood and Bone was written in Nashville. It was the day that it started to rain and then there was a huge flood, the whole town went under and I just escaped to get to the airport on time, after a long delay and after watching the disaster unfold on the local news, I finally made it out of there and was on my way to London. But before the flood “Blood and Bone” was penned with Eric Silver a Nashville writer who I thought was cool, eccentric and he told me stories about partying with Keith Urban a few times back in Keith’s party days. I guess he felt obliged me being Aussie and all..
When you get together to write with someone it’s almost like going to confession although I have never been to confession it must be a little similar. You bare your soul with this stranger you just met and you dig for inspiration until you find a common ground with that person, this could take awhile, it’s a lottery and this is one of the reasons why I don’t necessarily like writing with other people but I found it enjoyable this time.
My confessions rambled something like this..
I spoke about me being away for long periods of time and my struggle with feeling isolated abroad, all I wanted to do was to be home and hang out with friends and go to the beach and for everything to seem a little normal again, I had just come off the back of one wild ride on a tv show that I sorta didn’t have much respect for but was grateful that I was playing music but I didn’t feel great about being a spokesperson for something I had no respect for.. I was confused and exhausted. I knew it was a very unstable ride, a ride to be very aware of and to make sure I didn’t lose my head.
So what I wanted to write was something from the heart exactly what I was feeling at the time and who I represented at that point in my life, a sort of diary entry.
Before I embarked on my world trip that took me what seemed like everywhere I took a drive back to two country towns where alot of my first memories took place situated in the very Northern part of Adelaide, South Australia a dusty working class town called Balaklava and the very quaint little ghost-town called Owen.
Dad told me stories about the good old days, and about his friends, some passed some still alive, and how many people were lost tragically back then in farm and road accidents. The country can be a brutal place for the young and overworked.
The only real connection my dad had there was the old house I vaguely remember residing in that sat across the road from the swimming pool where I knocked and blackened my front teeth on the edge of the pools ladder, the back bedroom where I remember waking up from bad night sweats and having what they called Night terrors back in the day and the cemetery where lay a lot of his dear friends he spent his mid twenties with. It was like travelling back in time the town hadn’t changed a bit and the graves of all his friends were the way he had left them all those years ago. And was the only connection with this town he once intimately knew so well.
We just stood there reflecting and spent a fair amount of time listening to the sounds of the big trucks roaring in the far distance on the beaten highway and the wind whistled through us as loud as a man could whistle while Dad reminisced and I took it all in and had a strange sense of a haunting familiarity even though I was too young to really remember the area.
The next few days I was checking in alone at the Mondrian hotel on the Sunset Boulevard in LA. Where I was to stay for 2 and a bit months before heading to Nashville.
LA LA land wore very thin very quick, I was sick of Mexican food which I thought impossible at first, I was sick of the plasticity and the state of the city, there was this strange undertone that LA had seen it’s day and the city was populated with lost souls that were competing for a dying dream , they are the people that hold on to the hope that Hollywood is indestructible. Maybe it is.
On the flipside I can see how Hollywood can be addictive and I sure had some fun while I was there for almost 6 months of that year going backwards and forwards. Waiting for my car at the valet one morning and talking about basketball with Jack Nicholson was a highlight. Although I don’t follow the basketball I still pretended..
I was drinking heavily and wondered where I belonged in the grand scheme of things, I felt like I was spinning more out of control than the earth itself, I was hurtling through space.. with no real direction,
I needed something real, something natural. But At this time I had no care for spiritual conversations I didn’t believe in the soul, all I saw was a physical mess inside and out. I was self destructing and I wanted out. I wanted to go far away from everyone but at the same time I wanted everyone to be near me at all times.
I had money for the first time in my life and I was like a kid with a loaded gun.
Nothing was real and I needed reality more than ever. I didn’t know myself and I wanted to get to know myself but I didn’t allow myself.
Blood and Bone is the reflection of where I had come from, from the dusty little quaint town in country Adelaide to the big, bold bankrupt Los Angeles and where I saw myself going in the future, trying to play a role I had created with a big corporation breathing down my neck and at the same time screaming internally out for help.

Wes, I watched you win the tv show (can’t even remember which one it was now) and always thought you were ‘the real deal’. I vowed if you played in Melbourne we’d come and see you and we did, at the Crown. Enjoyed the show but I felt it wasn’t ‘you’. I’ve always loved your voice and seeing you sing ‘blood and bones’ on Sunrise I thought “that’s it, he’s done it, that’s Wes”. Well done!! thanks for you honesty.

At first, Trudie and Sting played along, answering questions about the hardest drug they've ever taken (Sting: iowaska) and their diva behavior (Trudie: buying too many shoes), but it was soon Andy's turn and all he was interested in was locking lips with Sting's leading lady.
"Control room, what if I just want to kiss Trudy?" the star inquired. So, instead of sharing what age he lost his virginity, he laid one on the actress. "I've always wanted to say this. Hey Sting, I just kissed your wife."
Finally, Sting felt left out, so when Andy got the chance, he gave the rockstar a smooch, too. Sting agreed and embraced the star for a peck.

I’ve never been someone who chases round the country to photograph the rare birds that turn up on our shores from our European neighbours. Personally I enjoy photographing our more commoner subjects,trying to capture them in different or interesting situations. However when a rare visitor turned up almost on my doorstep on private farmland that I have access to, I thought I should at least give it my attention. The Great Grey Shrike breeds across most of mainland Europe and is an occasional visitor to the UK during the winter. It hunts small mammals, birds and insects and is often found perched upon fence posts or small trees/shrubs from where it hunts from. Over the course of the five days it remain in the same location I was able to get a series of shots that show it’s classic behaviour.
Sometimes it would land on a very unnatural perch.
By spending time on this subject I was also able to photograph it as it flew and hunted from it’s various perches.
And finally anything sihouetted against a red sky is always nice but to have such a rare bird is definately a bonus.

Volilna kneževina, vojvodina Saška, tudi Volilna Saška (nemško: Kursachsen), je bila vladavina saškega vojvode in volilnega kneza v obdobju 1356-1806, približno na ozemlju današnje (Zgornje) Saške in Turingije.
Volilna kneževina, vojvodina Saška (kratko: Volilna Saška) je ležala zunaj ozemlja plemenske vojvodine Saške, katere ime je nosila. Bila je naslednica kar treh predhodnih vladavin, ki so bile:
Nastop rodbine Wettincev, združitev z mejno grofij Meißen in grofijo Turingijo (1423-85)
S podelitvijo fevda je mejni grof Friderik IV. Meißenski postal prvi wettinski volilni knez in vojvoda Friderik I. Saški (1423-1428). Ime Saška se odtlej uporablja v širšem smislu za vse wettinske posesti, tudi meißenske in turinške. Wettinski vojvode so postali eni najpomembnejših knezov Svetega rimskega cesarstva.
Dežela pa ni postala pomembna le zaradi svoje velikosti, ampak tudi zaradi svoje gospodarske moči. Velike dohodke so prinašali rudniki srebra. Leipzig, kjer je bila leta 1409 ustanovljena univerza, je postal eno najbolj živahnih trgovskih središč v cesarstvu. Že v 14. stoletju je bila vpeljana po deželi razvejana uprava, ki je s stalnimi davki dvoru zagotavljala zanesljive dohodke. Trgovina in rudarstvo sta vzpodbujala tudi druge gospodarske dejavnosti. Meißenski groši, skovani v centralni kovnici denarja v Freibergu, so bili cenjena valuta tudi daleč od Saške.
V ernestinski veji je Ernestov sin in naslednik, volilni knez Friderik III. Modri (1486-1525), leta 1502 ustanovil visoko šolo v Wittenbergu; tu se je reformacija začela, kar je Saško pripeljalo v središče evropske pozornosti. Friderik Modri je podpiral in ščitil Lutra. Za dvornega slikarja je nastavil Lucasa Cranacha starejšega. Njegov brat in naslednik volilni knez Ivan Stanovitni (1525-32) je leta 1527 zasnoval prvo luteransko deželno cerkev (katere vodja je bil knez sam). Za zaščito protestantskega gibanja pred vojaškimi napadi s strani katolikov je leta 1530, skupaj z deželnim grofom Filipom I. Hessenskim, ustanovil šmalkaldensko zvezo protestantskih državnih stanov.
V albertinski veji se je vojvoda Jurij Bradati (1500-39), sin Alberta Srčnega, po začetni naklonjenosti odvrnil od Lutra. V albertinsko vojvodino je vpeljal protestantizem šele njegov brat in naslednik Henrik V. Pobožni (1539-41). Slednjega je nasledil sin Mavricij.
Napetosti med šmalkaldensko zvezo in cesarjem Karlom V. so leta 1546 pripeljale do šmalkaldenske vojne, ki jo je leta 1547 zveza izgubila. Sin Ivana Stanovitnega, Ivan Friderik I. Velikodušni (1532-47, †1554) se je moral odpovedati naslovu volilnega kneza in večji del ernestinskih posesti odstopiti bratrancu Mavriciju (volilni knez v letih 1547-53), ki se je, čeprav protestant, v vojni boril na strani cesarja. Ivanu Frideriku so ostale le turinške posesti, ki so bile po njegovi smrti razdeljene med njegove sinove.
Mavricija je nasledil brat, volilni knez Avgust (1553-86). Držal se je določil augsburškega verskega miru (1555) in dopuščal v deželi le ortodoksno luteranstvo, ki ga je skušal poenotiti. Strinjal se je s cesarjem, da kalvinizma nebi smeli uvrstiti med dopustne državne vere. Cesar Ferdinand I. mu je v zameno za takšno držo pustil proste roke pri sekularizaciji škofij Meißen, Merseburg in Naumburg, ki jih je knez vključil v posesti albertinske države. Vladal je dokaj svobodno, skoraj ni skliceval deželnih stanov in ni jim pustil vmešavati se v upravljanje. Mirno obdobje in premišljene gospodarske reforme so ugodno vplivale na razvoj dežele in polnile državno blagajno. Edina kovnica denarja je bila knežja v Dresdnu.
Prohabsburška politika pa je po drugi strani politično ločevala vojvodino od ostalih protestantskih dežel. Poskus preobrata v kalvinizem pod Avgustovim naslednikom, sinom Kristijanom I. (1586-91), in navezave na vseprotestantsko gibanje v Nemčiji, se zaradi odpora deželnih stanov in duhovščine ni posrečil. V začetku 17. stoletja so se začeli pojavljati znaki gospodarske krize.
Volilni knez Ivan Jurij I. (1611-56), drugi sina Kristijana I. (nasledil je starejšega brata Kristijana II.), je ob izbruhu sovražnosti na začetku tridesetletne vojne za cesarja Ferdinanda II. zavzel Zgornjo in Spodnjo Lužico. Ker mu cesar stroškov vojne operacije ni mogel plačati, mu je deželi prepustil v fevd. Kasneje, ko so bili Švedi že na saški meji, je Saška prestopila na švedsko stran. Mir v Pragi leta 1635 ji je priznal obe Lužici in magdeburško škofijo (ki pa je bila z vestfalskim mirom obljubljena Brandenburgu, a šele po smrti saškega upravnika mesta, kar se je zgodilo leta 1680). Wettinci so izgubili vodilno vlogo v protestantskem taboru.
Po tridesetletni vojni je bila dežela obubožana, življenje je izgubilo veliko ljudi, vendar se je dvigala hitreje kot druge dežele cesarstva, zaradi rodovitne zemlje, rudnih bogastev, pridnih ljudi in protestantskih priseljencev iz habsburških ozemelj, ki so s seboj prinašali tudi znanje. Knez je postal, bolj kot prej, odvisen od deželnih stanov. Ivan Jurij I. je v svoji oporoki dele ozemlja zapustil svojim trem mlajšim sinovom, tako da so se od Volilne Saške odcepile vojvodine Saška-Weißenfels, Saška-Merseburg in Saška-Zeitz. Leta 1680 je tudi nadškofija Magdeburg prešla pod Brandenburg.
Po smrti Avgusta Močnega je prišlo do poljske nasledstvene vojne (1733-35/38). Njegov sin in naslednik, Friderik Avgust II. (1733-63), je ob podpori Rusije in Avstrije kot Avgust III. lahko obdržal poljski prestol. Vladne posle na Saškem je prepustil grofu Henriku von Brühlu. Ta je po okusu kneza veliko vlagal v prestižne zgradbe, umetnost in kulturo (gradnje v Dresdnu, glasbeni dosežki J. S. Bacha). S svojo sovražno politiko do Prusije je pomagal potegniti Saško v pogubno sedemletno vojno (1756-63), med katero je dokončno dobila status drugorazredne politične sile, za Prusijo in Avstrijo.
Z razpadom Svetega rimskega cesarstva je volilna kneževina izgubila svojo osnovo. Še leta 1806 se je borila proti Francozom pri Jeni. V decembru 1806 je Friderik Avgust III. sklenil z Napoleonom mir v Posnu in vključil vojvodino Saško v Rensko zvezo, kar mu je prineslo kraljevi naslov, postal je saški kralj Friderik Avgust I. (1806-27). Z Napoleonovim porazom v pokolu narodov pri Leipzigu je postal v oktobru 1813 ujetnik zaveznikov, dežela p (1998).


Normally I write about getting healthy in my One New Thing posts. Not today. The only One New Thing appropriate for this week is to hug a little tighter.
There are no words to adequately portray the horror in Newtown. So I won’t even try. I’m just going to hug my kids a little tighter and pray a little more.
There are many I just don’t want to hear.
THIS message is one that touched my heart.

That's right. I said it. The Chiefs are going to lose a game this season. Maybe more than one. Multiple even!


Prsolitary nucleus.
Reflex (vasodepressor) syncope or vasovagal syncope originates with activation of specific areas in the cerebral cortex. Indeed, stimulation of areas in the anterior cingulate gyrus can trigger a faint. Although the exact trigger is not known, in some cases reflex syncope has been attributed to activation of the Bezold–Jarisch reflex. This reflex—originally described as the cardiorespiratory response to the intravenous injection of veratrum alkaloids—causes bradycardia, hypotension, and apnea. In experimental animals, stimulation of arterial baroreceptors or ventricular baroreceptors by many chemicals—veratrum alkaloids, nicotine, capsaicin, histamine, serotonin, snake and insect venoms—can also trigger the Bezold–Jarisch reflex. In people, coronary injection of contrast material or of thrombolytic agents can cause reflex syncope, presumably by stimulating ventricular receptors eliciting the Bezold–Jarisch reflex. It is possible that these chemical stimuli activate the same stretch-sensitive Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) channels of arterial baroreceptors that are usually activated by high blood pressure. In humans, triggers clearly distinct from those known to initiate a Bezold–Jarisch reflex can also elicit reflex syncope. Whatever the actual trigger, vagal afferents carry signals to higher central nervous system centers, which act through autonomic nuclei in the medulla to cause a massive stimulation of the parasympathetic system and abolition of sympathetic tone.

IMMANUEL PORTUS WRITES — On May 2 the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival opened its first night with a film that took home the Grand Jury Prize soon after: “Yellow Rose,” helmed by director Diane Paragas and starring Tony winner Lea Salonga and Tony nominee Eva Noblezada— all prominent Filipino entertainers both on the local and international stage. “Yellow Rose” will soon be showing in local theaters in the Southern California area and will be distributed through streaming services.
The film revolves around the themes of resiliency and identity, told through an oft-overlooked yet unique lens of American cinema: the lives of Filipino immigrants. Noblezada takes on the character of a 17- year-old Filipina residing in Texas who harbors a secret dream of telling stories and embracing emotion by becoming a prodigious country musical star. Circumstances take a hard and capricious turn when she returns home one night to witness her mother detained and arrested by authorities of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. She runs away, and the audience is left to follow her mesmerizing journey as she is caught between staying on her own, independent path or getting deported along with her mother to the Philippines.
Aside from being an artful rendition of a story often untold—the deportation of Filipinos— this film showcases a fine collaboration among Filipino artists eager to tell their stories. Lea Salonga, known worldwide for her Tony Award (Miss Saigon) and for being the singing voice behind Disney’s animated characters Mulan and Jasmine (Aladdin), came out of her hiatus just to act in Paragas’ film. Noblezada has also carved out a name for herself as a Tony Nominee, thanks to her performance in that same Broadway production of Miss Saigon. Also noteworthy is the fact that the music was composed to reflect the fusion of American country and Filipino musical tastes, resulting in a tone of longing for family, love, and the tranquility of the islands while living in another country.
“Yellow Flower” has not stopped at the gates of Hollywood; rather, it is an inspiration to the entire Philippine film industry and is already slated for production within the largest media groups in the country. Films that have diverged from the overwhelming trope of poverty and violence-themed Filipino films are now making their way to art-houses willing to show productions that focus on what it truly means to be a Filipino—whether through music, culture, or the country’s colorful heritage.

Currently, treatment for pure autonomic failure focuses on managing symptoms. There is no proven therapy to reverse the underlying neurodegenerative process. Various types of therapies can improve dizziness or lightheadedness, including medications, compression stockings, and consuming extra salt and fluids. You can also change your posture gradually to prevent sudden changes in blood pressure.
While treatments other than medication may be recommended for all patients,need to be carefully monitored by your doctor. Doses are adjusted according to improvements in your symptoms and blood pressure recordings.


Suddenly, the only thing that mattered was that I wasn’t “the right fit.” Her remarks set loose a fury of repressed insecurity inside of me. It’s the kind of insecurity that – at my age – I thought I was so over. The thing is, self-loathing doesn’t discriminate by age. It will prey on you, even when you think you are Teflon against it.
Let me tell you, girl, there was freedom in that room! Holla! We all put on new, God-approved labels, like it was our job. With hands to the sky, all of heaven heard our battle cry.
That day in the kitchen, I could actually sense two people living inside of me (yes, I realize how creepy that sounds).
The pull of both people was palpable. Which would I believe?
Ordinarily, in times like these, I simply do battle with that awkward kid. I send that kid off to detention at the middle-school principal’s office.
On this day, in the kitchen, I didn’t try to badger or bully or battle that insecure kid. She didn’t need detention. She needed love. So this is what I did: I opened up my arms. And I just held her. I stroked her hair. “Come here, girl. It’s okay.” That’s what I told her, maybe even out loud.
But then, behold: we felt a single word drop straight into our heart. The word was soft as a feather, weighty as a brick.
I was wanted by God. We were wanted!
And friend? LISTEN UP: you are wanted. I mean it.
You have labels, too, don’t you?
Unwanted. Overweight. Worthless. Messy. Powerless.
Wanted. Loved. Approved. Cherished. His.
If we’re going to let our whole life be defined by a single word, let’s make sure the word is a good one.
What label is the kid inside of you wearing?
Take some time today to ask God to replace the word with the one that He intends for you.
So true that just when we’re feeling confident in our identity in Christ, the enemy comes a prowling. He doesn’t want us getting too comfortable in our God-made label. He wants us back in that insecurity where we are so disabled we are useless for building God’s Kingdom. The label I wore was that I was “overly emotional and too sensitive”op wearing my heart on my sleeve. In a world of very stoic people 40 years later, God would use that same compassion and sensitivity to build a school for children who live in one of the scariest parts of the world. I can feel their pain. I sense their fear. I cry with them when they are afraid. God is using the very thing I thought was my weakness to be my strength…He’s funny that way. I pray that others who are letting the enemy get his foot in the door with his “you’re not enough garbage” would ask God for the power to slam the door shut and, like you, ask God for reassurance to love the little wounded girl in ourselves and go forward knowing we are loved and delighted in. Loved this, Jennifer and I can’t imagine you not being a perfect fit anywhere?? Love you girl!
Teart. This past year, in one way or another, has been chalked full of breaking through the “labels” that I thought made me who I was… and I’ve come to realize that most of those labels were self-inflicted, or so to speak. One comment from someone or a slip up can cause us to put ourselves so low that we can’t even see sea-level… and once we finally do make it to the shore wanted, enough, beautiful children of The King (that takes us right where we are) we can feel this immense pressure to be “on” all the time to uphold those labels and make sure everyone can see them too. But, if you truly are living a Christ led life all of this will come naturally and Christ’s “approval and opinion” are all that will matter. It is so important (and I constantly have to remind myself) to rest in His grace. I am enough, just as I am, because HE says I am. Thank you again for posting this, it is nice to have a reminder that it’s okay to have harder days, we all do… but, take it to God and not dwell in it.
Loved this, Jennifer. It’s so true. We may give excellent advice that we believe and embrace, but sometimes it’s very hard to apply it to ourselves! My handicapped daughter age 36 got a rejection letter for a job she applied for. I printed this out for her. ANd I printed it out for my son who struggles sometimes. And I printed it out for me! We are all God’s children and we all need to hear we are loved and ENOUGH.
Just as we are. Then that gives us the power and motivation to be be better. To glorify him more!
Oh my goodness, Jennifer, this post. What life-giving truths you shared here! All my life, I’ve struggled with the deep hurt of the peer-rejection that defined my elementary school years. My label was “not-enough.” It shaped my growing up, teen, young adult, even “I-should-know-better” adult years. And yet, those lies implanted into my girlhood heart shaped how I saw myself. It’s taken YEARS to begin to overcome.  Sometimes though, we need to acknowledge that those labels are there. We do need to bring them before God and ask for healing. I love the word God gave you. And I love your encouragement to give ourselves permission to cry, to deal with, to pray over those wounds and labels. Thank goodness God meets us in those places and speaks life-giving truth over us.
I can’t tell you how much this post resonated this morning. Thank you.
Your words mean so much to me. I’m glad this post encouraged you. And in turn, your words encouraged me. I can relate as I’ve experienced several of those calls in the past. Thankfully God brought me a job that I’ve been at for almost a month now. I did feel something similar yesterday, I think the label was unsure and insecure. Thank you for explaining about putting on the label God gives us. I will ask God what specific label He has for me.
Your words were sweet balm, especially when you gave your 12yo self a hug and encouragement. Instead of fighting myself, I need to speak biblical truth to myself, and you painted the perfect word picture.
I really needed to hear this today! You defined what I’m feeling and going through exactly.
Wow! Wanted…Loved…Approved…Cherished…I so need to cling to ANYONE of those. Let it sink deep! Let the power behind it, the power that can only come from God, work! This morning, just before I got out of bed, I was praying and literally handing over to God some of the labels that just keep returning. Over and over I pictured in my mind handing over various identifying statements that have nothing to cling to in His truths. “I am ugly.” “I am unlovable.” “I am not……..enough.” And on and on and on…handing each of them over to Him and repenting for believing them and not Him. So thankful for your story and for sharing it! I will take time to not just hand those labels over, but replace them with ones God intends for me.
Thank you for this — so well-timed, as I, too, have been feeling the sting of that word: unwanted.
And , of course, I don’t even need Google Translate to expand it into “Not Good” and “Not Enough” and a whole host of synonyms — all an affront to the God who made me and who also orders my circumstances.
Your post was very uplifting Jennifer, thank-you.
Thank you for your words today. Geesh, I didn’t even know I needed to say this to myself or shed a few tears. But HE did. Oh how I love Jesus/Abba/Holy One!
JenniferGod has been speaking this same message to me. We have to continually go to Him and breathe life giving words over ourselves and others. Bless you for your honesty. Pray for me too as I fight against feelings of inadequacy, of not being enough, of being unloved.
Whew! Pow! Bam! Lots of tied up emotions in that truth. Off to go hug my uncool inner girl.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Perfectly timed to interrupt my pity party.
Thank you through the tears that came as I read this. I spent some time today with my lovely sisters and came away feeling not cool enough, not organized enough, not self-disciplined enough, not thin enough … I’m still that little girl so often, even though I’ve lived for five decades. Thank you for this reminder, Jennifer.
Yes! Thank you for your comment. Maybe part of feeling “enough” is also not feeling alone in our feelings. May you be blessed with new eyes to see yourself as God has made you … perfectly enough needed that. God will help me in this area to speak life to those labels were self-inflicted.
Thank you for this beautiful post, Jennifer. I love the imagery and vividness – it certainly brought back memories of the young me too, hiding in shame and then trying too hard to overcome the label “Worthless”. I love the idea of holding onto that child and comforting her, instead of shoving her aside… I’ve got to try that the next time she creeps in next to me!
Well, I needed this one today. Who knew? T
Thank you Jennifer, great post. I know as a sensitive girl and woam, this labelling has haunted me. I reread the sort of afffirmations and even made a Pinterest board. I needed to know I was loved I won’t wear any labels but what God gives me ever again, he calls me Hepzipbah, beautiful, belomessages that you send. So many times I feel like I am alone in feeling the way that I do and that I’m not ” good enough”. I feel like I am just a … preschool teacher. I know how much I cherish my jobs as a teacher, mother and wife. Your words and thoughts lift my spirits up and make me realize how important I am to God. Thank you. Oh… please come to Syracuse, New York to speak. I would love to come to your conference!!
I have a label for you and it’s “real”. I find you and your words very refreshing and quite frankly a relief. Maybe you are meant for plain gals like me. Thanks for being relatable. You are a great fit for me.
Couldn’t have said it better myself. She’s the real deal!!
I have been carrying hurtful words all week. This was some balm to my soul. I sense the hope of healing. Thank you.
So true and beautiful. Thanks for reminding us that it is alright to struggle over our identity. That this struggle will be a many time faught battle. I believe, oops, help my un-beleif. My new word is beloved. A word my friend and I came up for her was, always good enough.
I am reading this late but with God nothing is never too late and always comes just in time. I sent this to my niece to encourage her after she received news that she not accepted into her school’s nursing program. She is WANTED some where else if she still wants to pursue a career in nursing!
Jennifer, you struck a cord deep within me. Labels from the past linger and latch onto our souls too long…a lifetime if we let them.  The unwanted you. I seen my little sad-girl self there too. Two weeks ago I wrote a similar post. Unwanted was woven through my words. Even after writing my unwanted word post and talked about our Cross-Freedom in Christ when you wrote the words, “This was the word: Wanted” hot springs welled up in my eyes. Me too! Yes! No matter the age and stage of life nothing cries out of us more than being wanted. Thank you for your beautiful words of truth and encouragement.
Jennifer, this is a brutally honest depiction of the battle most of us face. Doesn’t it seem that immediately after the mountaintop moments, Satan slips in and aims to take us down? I love your example of extending grace to the awkward, hurting little girl inside yourself – of praying with her and reassuring her. In our efforts to live out our identities in Christ, it seems we often focus on claiming the victory of being children of the Most High God (and we should), but we forget to extend grace to ourselves. Walking out our true identities is a progressive learning experience, and there are setbacks along the journey. I need to remember this the next time self-doubt and shame slip in. Thank you for the reminder!
Thank you for being so raw, so real, so vulnerable. And thank you for inviting me to the table to listen and pray with you and your girl. I adore you friend. You are smart, amazing, wanted and more than enough! And when I’m with you, I feel like I am too.
Awww this was such a sweet and needed message for me! It’s interesting how we can feel tempted to believe that those old labels still apply; that we must keep them in our lives for some purpose or reason. And what a great opportunity to trust God that we are free from all that, that we have truly been made new. It’s a battle we all share. Thanks Jennifer… keep (in)couraging!
I know that full well. Psalm 139:14;6;-27; 31. I remind myself daily that I am made in the very image of Christ. Calling myself that I can’t be those other names-for I would be calling God the same things.
You painted the perfect picture of what Paul talks about why we must put on the “Full Armor of God”a war and fight we must!!
Oh my yes! What more can I say?

The 30hop restaurant in Coralville pictured above.
My diet for the past 6 months has consisted of whatever my mother makes for dinner, dozens of frozen meals, and very, very little eating out. Covid changed everything about the way we live, from exercising, socializing, and even dining.
Restaurants had to adapt and for months had to serve guests only by allowing take out.
Now, places have slowly started opening back up and allowing diners inside. The most common Covid procedures that restaurants are taking are placing guests at tables a minimum of six feet apart or having outdoor dining areas. Masks are always required besides when eating and there is constant sanitation happening everywhere.
My 17th birthday just passed and for the first time in months my family decided to dine out. Together, we went to 30hop in Coralville and witnessed many of the procedures listed above happening in front of our eyes.
It was quite strange at first, but eventually it felt like normal again. We sat outside at dusk and enjoyed a warm summer night. We were quite a distance away from other diners but could still hear some small chatter. The food was deliciouout in public again.
Although I did miss seeing the smile from our waitress and staff at the restaurant. It was quite awkward and unusual at first. Before COVID when you went out to eat, there would be the bustling of people, much more chatter, diners and large dining parties mingling with each other, the ambience of music in the background. But now, there was almost none of that.
I did miss the normalcy. But it was nice to be out again and around some people (socially distanced of course). I did realize that this would be the new normal for a while, and it was just something that we would have to adapt to.

krutika Lele and her husband Tamir Khan are the quintessential modern-day couple. Talk to them for twenty minutes and you feel that you know them forever. Like most people in the country who opt for a love marriage, they
India of today is stuck in the same rigmarole of religion and that the youngsters are hailed as a poster couple for interfaith marriages shows how far the country has been polarised. They have been hounded on social media and criticised at every stage but once you speak to the couple, you realise that they are just like two different halves of a circle, each completing the other.
As they started conversing, they realised that they shared common interests and started dating soon after. Tamir adds, “” His partner adds that within two days of their speaking she knew that he was the right person for her. The couple were based in Pune and used to meet frequently for breakfast, as it was the only time they could take out for themselves owing to their careers. Krutika shares, “I’m not even a breakfast person but there we were day after day, me having coffee and him with his eggs. We have been on the same page since we met.”
The couple met in 2015 when a common friend introduced them owing to both their interest in music. Krutika recalls, “I just started my account on Instagram and wasn’t very proficient on it. I used to message Tamir and used to call him ‘sir’. Tamir being Tamir put me at ease and insisted on me calling him by his name. I’m very camera shy and used to put up my videos with no visuals. He encouraged me to put a face to my music.”
After almost four years of dating, the couple got hitched in 2018. The biggest challenge was to convince Krutika’s parents who were initially opposed to the marriage. While Tamir’s parents took to Krutika the instant they met her, it took a while for her parents to get onboard.
Tamir reminiscences, “It took a lot of time. My family met Krutika and were fine and happy. Her parents didn’t meet me and there were a lot of differences, religion being a major one. It took us over a year of calling them each day and convincing them.”
Krutika adds that back then she didn’t think of anything else except the fact that the parents didn’t agree, and the guy had to convince them. Now in hindsight, she adds, “I just feel very bad that he needed to justify that he was a good person just because he was from a different religion. It was very unfair, but we did what we had to do to get married.
The fight for love
As the idea of love jihad raises its ugly head and even love is politicised, where couples are arrested for marrying out of faith, was it a difficult thing to do? Tamir says that

Neff's world championship win a dream come true
More tech Neff's world championship win a dream come true
Jolanda Neff (Switzerland) flies toward victory. She rode strong in the challenging technical sections.
Third attempt at winning rainbow stripes is the charm
Jo  "Two years ago, the race was in Mont-Sainte-Anne in Canada, and I was in good shape there. In Canada, I probably went too fast because I got heat stroke and couldn't finish the race and had to go to the hospital. It was very bad and sad for me." "Last year, I wanted to win it as a junior in Switzerland," she said. "It was a big event. I was already European champion and Swiss champion and had won the World Cup, and I just wanted to win. I was looking forward to the race so much, and then I got sick and couldn't do my best. I finished fourth." Neff's U23 win comes as a first-year U23 racer, but to her, age is not important. It's simply about winning the rainbow stripes. "For me, it doesn't matter so much if I'm a first year or second year; of course, it's great to win it as a first year."  Not having any pressure helped out the Swiss rider. "I think probably it was an advantage to be an outsider. Last year, I was sick for the race and it was not just because I was nervous. This year, It was an advantage not to be the favorite. Annie Last had a strong season and everyone was looking at her as the big favorite. I knew I had a chance, and I just went for it. I felt good on the uphill and all the way through the race." All the while she was off the front on her own, she did not want to jinx herself by thinking of winning. Past experience had taught her valuable lessons. "I was thinking out there that I'd done this before, but I was never sure I would win it until I crossed the finish line. I knew something could always happen. This year at the World Cup in La Bresse for example, I was leading and then I had to stop the race on the last downhill." Her downhill and technical riding skills paid off, though, today. "I think technical riding is my advantage. The difference today was the downhill and that's where I passed Annie Last and where I always opened up the gap again. I've always been one of the better downhillers, especially racing with the girls, not all of them have the courage to do the stuff." .

On September 7, 2016 Corey Cookson, Project Archaeologist at Tree Time Services, and Christina Barron-Ortiz, Assistant Curator at the Royal Alberta Museum, made the trip up to the Gaudreault’s home to view the rest of their collection. Christina Barron-Ortiz is a specialist in horse and bison teeth. She confirmed that the horse tooth has the characteristics of several specimens the Royal Alberta Museum recovered from the lake bed near Cold Lake, AB. She also suspected that the bison jaw bone represented ancient bison but could not be as sure as the horse. With permission from the Gaudreaults, the bison jaw and horse tooth were collected and results from carbon dating are expected in the Spring.

Ramallah – s over 12 days in various districts for supporting women’s[PLC] elections as candidates. The training was part of MIFTAH’s project “Support Women Participation in Public Life”, which MIFTAH implements with funding from the Norwegian Representative Office, targeting local communities and young women leaders to promotIt also aims to raise Palestinian public awareness regarding the exercise of democracy and to promote the principle of active citizenship through freedom of opinion, the right to choose and run in elections.
The training targeted women who have the desire, drive and readiness to participate in PLC elec West Bank and Gaza Strip. A total of 50 women participated along with MIFTAH’s coordinators from the various districts. The training program showcased the electoral systems and their pros and cons. It also focused on the discussion of electoral laws, the mechanisms and tools for monitoring elections, the foundations and criteria for this monitoring and the type of monitors, in addition to the various types of election campaigns and how to build lobbying alliances.
The training program also entailed ways of dealing with the media, the points to pay attention to during interviews, how to opt for diplomatic responses in press interviews, how to prepare for an interview and speech and body language skills.
One participant from Nablus, Insaf Odeh, said the training revealed much capability among the women proving they could run in PLC elections. She also said it offered them new skills and information on subjects pertaining to elections and created interaction among the participants who also gained knowledge and experience from their colleagues. “This is especially since practical training, and not only theory, was an important part of the course,” Odeh said.
Abeer Zakarneh, a women’s activist from Jenin, stressed on the importance of the training in terms of empowering the participants at the level of social and community participation. She said it a, including running for elections, in addition togroup. “This boosted their confidence to become part of the political process and in their community; it gave them the courage to become more involved in their factions and parties as well,” she said.
Meanwhile, MIFTAH coordinator in the Gaza Strip, Shadia Al Ghoul spoke about the workshop’s recommendations including: establishing a Facebook group entitled “Inspirational leaders” that includes the trainers and participants. The group will publish information and laws regarding elections and their assessment of how much the participants benefited from the workshop. “The trainees now have the keys to educate themselves on new subjects, but they still need information and education on Palestinian laws and legislation especially regarding women. They are all looking forward to attending more awareness workshops on elections which was one of their recommendations,” Al Ghoul said.
Furthermore, elections and media campaign expert Lubna Al Ashqar described the training as being ‘important and qualitative” for the capacity-building of women who showed interest and readiness to run in PLC elections if and when they are announced. She said many of the participants were perfectly capable of being part of political bodies, especially since they are already members of political parties, are active on the ground and enjoy certain status in society. “The training concluded with a group of recommendations, particularly: follow-up with these groups in order to choose one group of women who have the best chances of being part of this experience in order to increase their capabilities in the necessary areas. Also, to work individually with some of the participants who also have the chance to run in order to strengthen these chances within their political parties. Most of the participants recommended that a training of trainers is conducted for the groups so they would be able to convey this information and knowledge to the women in their respective areas.” Al Ashqar maintained.
These interventions are part of MIFTAH’s strategic approach in supporting the role of women leaders, promoting their participation in political life and creating a political and legislative climate where women can rise to decision- making positions in the Palestinian political system.

And so I talked a lot about some of the work that I’ve done with Miki Kashtan and nonviolent communications and bringing that way of communicating, which is really getting in touch with your feelings and what you want. Your why. Why does it matter to you to have diverse voices and people of color as part of what you’re learning and in the voices that are being quoted?
Q: The idea that Black and other marginalized folks are not preparing the body to “return to safety,” but to continually survive an ongoing, chronic trauma resonates for me with Frantz Fanon’s “combat breathing.” This concept was also expanded by Ntozake Shange.

Council Members Call on Mayor De Blasio to Re-Open Gowanus Houses Community Center

“We’re fighting for a concrete commitment from the mayor’s office,” said a representative from Council Member Levin’s office.
The Gowanus Houses center closed more than 10 years ago, when NYCHA stopped operating community centers, shifting the responsibility—which didn’t have the funds to support all the community centers, explained the representative.
Making Gowanus, a community artistic and cultural collaboration, fought for temporary access to the center to rehearse a performance piece about the role of community in the Gowanus Houses. A video about the group—and the call to reopen the community center—can be seen below:
The rally will take place today, Tuesday, October 3, at 5:45, in front of the Gowanus Community Center at 420 Baltic Street.


Over a period of more than forty years the “orchestration” has not changed, which is a unique case in Asia.

Following this logic, is the Uighur classical muqam going to crystallise in a way similar to Wagner’s Ring?
