One Hot Flame Leads Louisiana QHBA Sale Futurity Qualifiers
The Fast Prize Dash gelding is the fastest qualifier to the September 3, $323,488 final at Fair Grounds.
August 16, 2016
Q-Racing Journal
One Hot Flame, a gelded son of the Mr Jess Perry stallion Fast Prize Dash racing for Double H Racing Investments LLC, is the fastest qualifier to the September 3, $323,488 Louisiana QHBA Sale Futurity (RG1) at Fair Grounds Racecourse.
Trained by Adrian Huitron, who gave a leg up to jockey Manuel Gutierrez, One Hot Flame defeated second-fastest qualifier TF Racee Runaway by a head in the ninth of 12 trials on Wednesday, opening day of Fair Grounds' summer Quarter Horse meet. The gelding covered 350 yards in :17.580 while scoring his third win in four outs.
One Hot Flame was bred by Margie Loup and was a $10,500 yearling purchase. He was coming off of a victory in the July 9 Louisiana Juvenile Stakes (R) at Delta Downs.
TF Racee Runaway is conditioned by Lanny Keith for owner Tate Farms. John Hamilton rode the Sir Runaway Dash gelding on Wednesday.
Third-fastest qualifier Rdd Lajollanfastdash, a graded stakes winning Heza Fast Dash gelding trained by Jose Sanchez for owner Miguel A. Aguilar, won the eighth heat by one length under jockey Raul Ramirez Jr. Rdd Lajollanfastdash has won four of five starts, including the March 20, 300-yard Mardi Gras Futurity (RG2) at Louisiana Downs.
The LQHBA Sale Futurity is restricted to 2-year-olds who passed through the ring in last year's LQHBA Yearling Sale in Kinder. Click here for a complete list of finalists.

Do you ever wonder if there is life after death? Although the answer is a mystery, the musical "Forever Plaid" toys with the idea of an afterlife.
The musical tells a story of four young men during the 1950s with dreams and aspirations of becoming a successful "guy group" like The Four Aces or The Hi-Lo's. The quartet named themselves the Plaids. Unfortunately, their music careers quickly ended when they died in a car crash. The musical "Forever Plaid" begins at that end — with the Plaids resurrected for a final shot at a successful music career.
CATCO, a local theater company in Columbus, is producing the musical.
Matt Clemens, the director of "Forever Plaid," had prior familiarity with the musical — before Clemens directed this production, he played the role of Sparky, one of the four leads.
Clemens said his past experience as an actor helped him direct the CATCO production of the play.
"When you are an actor, you sort of direct yourself, and you receive director notes from a director's perspective. So from that, the next logical step is to be the main storyteller as the director," he said.
And one of the ways Clemens telling the story is through pairing the acting and singing in the CATCO production of "Forever Plaid" with live music rather than a digital soundtrack, which he prefers.
"(With a soundtrack) there is not room for any real changes," Clemens said. "With live musicians, the musicians are part of the production — if something goes wrong, they can cover where a soundtrack can't."
Producing director Steven Anderson said the cast works well together.
"The harmonies are so lush and close together, it's as if (one voice) is salvaged and there are four of them," Anderson said. "(The characters) all form together to make one personality."
Anderson credits the intimacy for setting the CATCO production apart from other renditions.
"(Our venue) seats about 75 people. An audience that size is just so much more personal and so you feel like you really get to know these guys," Anderson said.
Clemens agreed, and said as the viewer gets to know the characters in the venue, he or she might feel an emotional attachment to the actors, almost like a friendship.
The smaller venue allows room for audience interaction. Anderson said a "The Ed Sullivan Show" sequence in the production encourages audience participation, but also requires some improvisation skills from the actors.
Austin Josapak, a second-year in history, said the '50s were filled with strong moral correctness, as well as controversy.
"('Forever Plaid') reminds me of 'The Jersey Boys,' and since the movie version (of 'Jersey Boys') just came out, it makes this piece more appealing and more topical for me," Josapak said.
Because of the era in which it's based, the genre of songs in the musical and the intimate relationships that develop between the audience and characters, Clemens said the production is endearing, wholesome and nostalgic.
Forever Plaid is set to open at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday at Studio Three at the Riffe Center. Tickets are $35.
Students can purchase tickets for $15 with a valid ID two hours before any performance.

From Amber Dowling of The TV Junkies:
Don't Drive Here host is Canada's Louis C.K.
Andrew Younghusband is to Canadian reality TV what Louis C.K.–who infamously oversees every department on his award-winning series Louie–is to comedy on FX. The Newfoundland native not only stars in two series as the host, but he also produces, writes and edits them as well, leaving him very little time for anything else. So for those wondering why the sophomore season of Discovery's Don't Drive Here is only six episodes long, consider the health of the guy putting the show together. Continue reading.

I bought these shoes 4 months ago and have been impressed with them. The ratchet closure works great and makes it easy to adjust the shoe to the tightness you like. They work well with no sliping. They fit and feel great and show almost no wear with just about daily use.

My daily "S-Works" mtn bike shoe. Sized a little wider than most shoes (handy if you have bone spurs, also available in wide sizes) Found them to great for rugged 30 mile rides. Do take the time to flex the top of the tongue to soften it a bit or ride with the top buckle loose to break it in. Easy to adjust top buckle/strap and velcro on the other two straps. They can take some abuse too! Good bang for the buck. Enjoy

(Reuters) - The Carolina Panthers, who had a losing record last season, are the NFL's last unbeaten team and their coach credits that turnaround to the growth of young players like Cam Newton and Josh Norman and their exuberance.
Carolina made the playoffs at 7-8-1 last season but enter Sunday's game at New Orleans with an 11-0 record and an improved offense led by strong-armed, hard-running Newton complementing the team's ferocious defense.
"It's been interesting to watch him grow," Ron Rivera, speaking on ESPN Radio, said about Newton, the number one pick of the 2011 NFL Draft. "His overall game has truly improved, everything from his mechanics to his mental approach to the game."
Newton's development has helped Carolina jump to third in scoring average this season with 30.2 points per game compared to last year when they were 19th at 21.2 points per game.
Rivera credited offensive coordinator Mike Shula.
"What Mike's done is put the decision making process on Cam," he said. "He gives him a whole array of plays that once he gets to the line of scrimmage he can pull from."
Newton, at 6-foot-6 and 260 pounds, is also an imposing runner and the Panthers lean heavily on the ground game, rating fourth in the NFL in rushing yards for a ball-control attack that fits with their second-ranked defense.
Helping that defense is Josh Norman, a fifth-round pick in 2012 who has blossomed into one of the NFL's top cornerbacks.
Rivera said he had to learn how to handle Norman.
"Trying to get him to do things our way, that was a battle," said Rivera. "I ended up having to bench him a couple of times. I might have made a mistake with him because I took away a little bit of his personality.
"We wanted him to do certain things and be a certain way and that's not who Josh is. Last year I think he hit a low point and we sat down and we talked about him being himself again."Rivera said now "he does the things that are asked of him but he does it with his own flair."
The coach has also grown to embrace Newton's celebratory touchdown dances that have irritated some opponents.
"Let's not forget we're playing a game," Rivera said. "Sure it's a multi-billion industry, but we got to be aware there is an entertainment element to it.
"We don't want to completely take the personality of these players out. This is what the fans come to see."

RG.5- Early-Round "A"-Games Abound in Paris
After a few hectic days of upsets in Paris, Day 5 took a moment to take a much-needed breath. The early rounds are complete... so who has been the best player so far?
More on that in a moment. First, a quick recap of Thursday's not-quite-as-monumental-as-yesterday-or-even-that-of-the-day-before action.
...for the second time in five days, "doubles specialist" Kristina Mladenovic made headlines in singles. Two days after upsetting #2-seed Li Na, the 21-year old Pasty went up against against Alison Riske in the 2nd Round. It wasn't a sterling performance by any means, as the French woman's serve is a tennis version of Jenga -- one false move and the entire structure might come tumbling down. At times today, it seemed like it would.
Only 50% of Mladenovic's 1st serves actually went in, and she double-faulted thirteen times. In one game, she hit three DF. But she also pulled out eight aces, sometimes at extremely opportune times -- like soon after those three DF to help he get an important hold of serve. In a 1st set tie-break, she raced to a 6-1 lead only to see Riske close to 6-5 before finally securing the early lead in the match. Pushed to a 3rd set, though, Mladenovic's serve settled. She only had one double-fault there -- and it didn't come until she had her first match point at 5-3. Of course, she rebounded with a match-ending ace one point later, taking the victory at 7-6(5)/3-6/6-3 to equal her previous career-best 3rd Round slam result ('12 U.S.). The match lasted 2:41, and Mladenovic ended with a slim 107-105 advantage in total points.
...elsewhere, Svetlana Kuznetsova continued to roll along, eliminating Camila Giorgi in straight sets to arrange a 3rd Round meeting with an equally-frustrating-to-watch opponent, Petra Kvitova, who also won in straights over Marina Erakovic. 2012 runner-up and '13 semifinalist Sara Errani, with her hip still holding up, ran her RG record in her last seventeen matches to 15-2 with a win over Dinah Pfizenmaier.
...Kiki Bertens' win today over a retiring Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, 5-7/6-4/3-0, makes the Dutch woman the "Last Qualifier Standing" for this RG. Pauline Parmentier completed her 2nd Round win over Yaroslava Shvedova, leaving just her and Taylor Townsend alive for "Last Wild Card Standing." Parmentier is also in the running with Mladenovic for "Last Pastry Standing."
...in doubles, Mladenovic's magic continued. Today, after going 2-6 as a duo this season, she and Flavia Pennetta were able to ride the Pastry's wave together. In their 1st Round match in Paris, Mladenovic/Pennetta faced off with Alize Cornet & Caroline Garcia, the Pastries who were stars early this spring but have felt the bad side of a hard-luck two weeks. The all-French team took the 1st set in Mladenovic's second match of the day, only to see the French/Italian duo charge back to claim the match, 3-6/6-1/6-2.
The equally-bad offshoot of Sabine Lisicki's retirement -- her fourth ret./walkover in eleven '14 events -- yesterday with a wrist injury is that now Martina Hingis is out of Roland Garros, too. The duo pulled out of the doubles competition, leaving the Original Swiss Miss still without a slam match win since 2007. They were replaced today by the Pliskova sisters, who lost to Gajdosova/Husarova.
The Chan sisters, who had been the only all-sibling pair in the draw before today, STILL are. They won their 1st Round match over another team that featured a tennis-playing sister, Nara/A.Schmiedlova. Top-seeded Hsieh/Peng defeated a superbly difficult unseeded opening round duo in Kuznetsova/Stosur, as well.
...with the Final 32 set, the "Revelation Ladies" of Spain are continuing to lead the way. The four Spaniards remaining are the most of any nation, while Germany, Russia and an under-the-radar Slovak contingent (all with three each) aren't far behind. There have been more wins by Bannerettes (9) than any other nation, but only two are still alive in the draw. Meanwhile, while the Italians haven't had a good RG, Errani's advancement to the 3rd Round means Italy is one win away from managing to place a woman in the Round of 16 in Paris for the tenth time in the last eleven versions of Roland Garros.
Once again, certain nations are being led by -- and only by -- some very familiar names. A Radwanska is the final Pole, while an Ivanovic and a Jankovic make up the two surviving Serbs. A Bouchard is Canada's final hope, and the same can be said about a certain Stosur and Australia. There are few "interlopers," though, as Sweden, Argentina, Croatia, Israel and the Netherlands are far-from-regular 4th Round party-crashers in Paris, represented by the likes of an Ormaecha, Tomljanovic, Glushko and Bertens.
=EARLY-ROUND AWARDS - 1st/2nd Rounds (Days 1-5)=
1. Simona Halep, ROU
...many are becoming more and more comfortable with the Swarmette being a legit threat to take this title. She's done nothing to raise any doubts, opening the 1st Round by winning her first eleven games and dropping just eight through two matches.
2. Ana Ivanovic, SRB
...AnaIvo turned her "great" 1st Round match vs. Garcia into a clinic, then eliminated youngster Svitolina with ease, too.
3. Maria Sharapova, RUS
...she handled countrywoman Pervak in the 1st Round, then did the same with Pironkova and new expectations once Serena lost in the 2nd Round. She's the favorite to win the title now, or at least reach the final. I wondered a few weeks ago whether the Madrid final vs. Halep might be a preview of the RG final... and it very well might have been.
4. Taylor Townsend, USA
...making her slam debut as a wild card, the 18-year old Bannerette has already won a classic over a Pastry (#20 Cornet) and a partisan crowd.
5. Garbine Muguruza, ESP
...handing your childhood idol her worst-ever grand slam loss? Priceless.
6. Samantha Stosur, AUS
...she's reached a RG final, but wasn't on anyone's radar heading to Paris. Strasbourg champ Puig was, but Stosur crushed her in the 1st Round.
7. Sara Errani, ITA
...undersized and oft-overlooked, the feisty Italian is once again the last remaining player from her nation after overcoming a potential 1st Round obstacle in Madison Keys.
8. Aga Radwanska, POL
...the highest seed (#3) remaining, she notched the first main draw victory of the tournament and has yet to drop a set. This has always seemed to be the slam that SHOULD best fit her major dreams, but she's only put up one QF result ('13) at RG and professes more love for the lawns of Wimbledon.
9. Genie Bouchard, CAN
...the "Best Selfie Ever" run continues. And if she falls behind? She just takes a few minutes for herself, then comes back out and crushes an opponent.
10. The Slovaks
...while Anna Schmiedlova made noise with her win over Venus, countrywomen Cibulkova and Hantuchvoa has slipped into the 3rd Round without anyone hardly noticing.
HM- Kristina Mladenovic, FRA & Sloane Stephens, USA
...one has never had any grand slam singles success to speak of, while the other plays far better in majors than anywhere else. With very different backgrounds, both the Pastry and Bannerette find themselves in the Final 64.
The loss on Day 4 by both Serena and Venus Williams marked the fourth time the Sisters have lost on the same day in a slam. Three of the four times have come in Paris.
HISTORY TURNS, Pt.2*
18-year old Taylor Townsend is the youngest American to reach the 3rd Round at Roland Garros since 2003 (Ashley Harkleroad). Another win and she'll be the youngest to reach the Round of 16 since 1998 (both Williams Sisters).
In the 1st Round, Garbine Muguruza trailed qualifier Grace Min 4-2 in the 1st set, and the Bannerette served at 5-4 and held a set point. Min led 4-1 in the 2nd, too. The Spaniard won in straights. She faced Serena one round later.
HISTORY TURNS?, Pt.2*
In the 1st Round, Carla Suarez-Navarro trailed a qualifier 4-1 in the 1st set and 4-0 in the 2nd, but won in straights. Another qualifier took her to three sets in the 2nd Round. The recent first-time title winner is still looking for her first slam semi.
-- Knock, knock.. Who's there? Orange. Orange, who? Orange you glad that Sveta is having "a good week?"
Yeah, yeah... I know, I know.
-- really, Monfils? Really?
I smell a logo.
...and, finally, Vika might not be playing tennis in Paris but, have no fear, she is brushing up on other skills.

After a very quiet night at anchor and a lazy morning as the temperature slowly clawed its way up towards the 50 degree mark, we up'd anchor and cruised around South Bass Island, poked our noses in to Put-In-Bay, which was a lot more crowded than a couple of weeks ago, and made our way into Middle Bass State Park marina (pictured above). The forecast had called for strongish north/northeasterly winds. As it turned out, it backed to the NW and made for a very pleasant day. There was abundant sunshine which helped to take the edge off the cold wind. Managed shorts and no gloves for our bike ride around the island. SUP'd a little out on the lake and then collapsed on the boat, thoroughly exhausted. Just now watching the sun go down again. Another day of freedom for which to be grateful.
Last time we were in this marina, the office was a trailer and so were the showers and toilets. The 'now' office, was a concrete slab. It is really quite nice. And there is WiFi that works. Yes. They might do something about the goose poop on the paths though. In some places it is thicker that dog poop, though thankfully not as smelly.
Thousand of runners, who didn't get to finish the Boston Marathon this year, gathered in Boston this morning to run the final mile. Apparently the Boston Marathon organisers mailed out the medals but many runners felt that they couldn't wear it until they had actually run that last mile. So today, they did. And now they can proudly wear their medals. http://ftw.usatoday.com/2013/05/thousands-of-runners-finish-the-boston-marathon/
Gnomes have finally managed to gate crash the Chelsea Flower Show. I can remember as a child being told that under no circumstances will gnomes ever be allowed to make their presence felt. However, it seems that if celebrities decorate them for a fundraising opportunity, then the little 'beasties' are allowed in. http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2013/05/25/186549986/gnomes-crash-distinguished-garden-show-in-england Whatever next? Ducks flying up the wall?
OK, I had something else on which I wanted to comment, but it has gone. And I don't know where. So I won't. Time for another cuppa and as the wind has come back, another line to hold us off the dock. Share quality time with those you love. Joanna

Rail Europe reports outstanding results for 2012
With a 16% increase in sales year on year and traveller numbers reaching 2,6 million, Rail Europe confirms in 2012 its dynamism and reinforces its position as the #1 distributor of European rail travel in the world. Passing the symbolic 200-million euros mark, Rail Europe 2012 sales established a new record in the company's history.
"We're thrilled with these outstanding results for 2012, which exceed our initial previsions and show a doubling of our sales in three years' time!" said Pierre-Stephane Austi, Rail EuropeŌĆÖs CEO. "Despite a difficult worldwide economic context, Rail Europe managed, once again, to achieve a double digit growth, contributing to the growth of the whole industry and affirming its leadership role" Austi added.
ŌĆ£Despite the challenging market conditions, Rail Europe achieved significant results in Middle East markets with 30% incremental sales in 2012 to continue positive results been achieved in 2011. This is along with more focused marketing and commercial strategies to offer the maximum support to travel agents and travellers from the regionŌĆØ said Waleed Ahmed, the regional manager of Rail Europe Middle East in Dubai.
However, the growth on the e-commerce platforms of Rail Europe nearly doubled with the traditional sales channel grew marginally. Of course, the growth would have been higher if not for the extremely popular promotion on the Swiss Pass that allowed one adult to travel free with one paying adult. With the timing of this global promotion coinciding with the Indian peak travel period, the number of passengers grew by a much higher rate than the revenue. With the rupee stabilizing in the last quarter of 2012, sales gained momentum and it looks promising to sustain through 2013ŌĆØ.
2012's other major highlights were
the 2nd edition of RIDE -Rail Europe's International Distribution Event-, which gathered in Paris during 2 days more than 250 professionals of the rail industry (carriers, distributors and tourist offices)
the launch of Rail Europe Connexion, an inspirational magazine proposing travel ideas and rail itineraries, distributed to over 2 million readers in 20 countries
the launch of Italo, the new Italian high speed train, operated by NTV, thus transforming Rail Europe's distribution system into a truly neutral distribution platform, with more opportunities to travel by train in Italy.
Rail Europe not only benefits from the growing trend in rail travel, it actually seems to stimulate it. Thanks to its systematic strategy, the company expands across all distribution channels (trade and direct), all segments (groups & individuals), and on all products: rail passes and point to point tickets, European and non-European.
In 2013, Rail Europe will accelerate this strategy thanks to the introduction of new products in its -already large- product portfolio, ambitious partnership and promotional programs, new innovative distribution solutions, and of course close support to all markets, fast growing and mature markets alike.
2013 will also see the direct connections of Rail Europe's distribution system to Trenitalia's & Deutsche Bahn's distribution systems produce full-year results. Rail Europe expects significant sales from these connections, which allow Rail Europe customers and trade partners to access the same offer as in Italy or Germany, with real time access to all trains, fares (including the most discounted ones) and promotions, as well as to advanced functionalities like e-ticketing.

DE filters, formally known as diatomaceous earth, uses a granulated form of sedimentary rock to collect dirt and debris that is too small for a skimmer basket to catch. Cleaning your filter involves the process of backwashing and should be instituted as part of regular pool maintenance. A clean filter in combination with regular chemical maintenance is key to keeping your swimming pool water crystal clear.
Backwashing your DE filter is the process of flushing out the DE, or earth, from your filter and replacing it with a new clean DE. Through time the DE becomes dirty from collecting dirt and debris and becomes less effective in collecting material. Dirty earth can cause a loss in filter pressure, and particles can escape through the filter and back into your pool water.
How Often to Backwash
The filter should be backwashed once per week and replaced with clean earth. Most DE filters need 1 qt. of clean DE to operate efficiently. You do not want to add more earth than necessary because you risk clogging the filter, which is a critical component of pool maintenance and should be performed consistently.
How to Backwash
Turn your filter off, and open the release valve at the bottom of the filter to flush the old earth. The earth will appear dirty and green, and you should see small black particles of dirt and bugs, mostly gnats. Leave the valve open until the water runs clear. Pump the filter handle 10 times while it's draining to help loosen the earth. Turn the valve off, and pump the filter handle five times to build up the pressure. Turn the filter on, and add the new DE slowly through the pool skimmer.
Other Times to Backwash
Get in the habit of backwashing the filter after you vacuum the pool. Most of the debris collected during the pool vacuuming process gets collected by the earth, thus making it dirty. If you choose to vacuum the pool once a week, backwash the filter routinely afterwards. Run the filter after a bad rainstorm in which winds were swirling and lots of small debris was blown into the water. Backwash the filter several hours later to flush the dirt collected from the filter.

Fashion in Seattle – Escada vs. GucciMarch 2, 2009
Gucci for Escada – Located directly across from louis vuitton Washington sees the opening of it's first Gucci retail store, 1 of 16 within the US. Retail specialists believe Gucci will be more succesful than Escada, primarily due to the cultish obsession buyers have with their handbags. Accesories decadent with Gucci print costing hundreds of dollars vs. thousands of dollars womens outfit (Escada), tend to be more aggreable with the Pacific Northwest shopping demographic (makes sense to me). Interestingly enough, Gucci had been considering opening shop East of Seattle, in Bellevue where Neiman Marcus will be opening. However Bellevue Nordstroms' in-store mini Gucci-eria kept Gucci Retail west of 520. How's that for proof that fashion is budding in Seattle? Or, is it just lack luster designer driven appeal where 150K earners buy fashion for their logos and status – and the 20k earners…like you and me 🙂

Everyone's Talking :: Robert GellerFebruary 17, 2009
GQ, Vogue and yes, even Daniel Dy, are all talking, raving and mentioning the name Robert Geller!! I read some very interesting views and critiques of his clothing…most of which summarized his work as being extraordinary & beautiful.
However, even these editorial praises included such comments like the ones posted below – some of which seem contradictory to the beautiful comments, yet i am content to see them as opinions & constructive criticism
"The designer clearly has a thing for Tsarist militaris" | "He insisted that the stripes …were inspired by gypsies, but they also reminded one of prison uniforms." | "accusations of Nazism" | "Geller offered up a vision that could have been extracted from a dark Transylvanian romance"
hehe – now for the selections – which i enjoyed
Geller was just recently awarded the GQ Mens Wear Prize, bringing unprecedented attention to his talent & designs.

Cricket may be India's favourite game, but hockey and football still holds top place in the hearts of Catholics. So, the youth of Andrew church combined the pao-favourites, but took it to the city level. A whooping number of parishes across Mumbai participated in this well planned and successful event.
The Andrean Youth Movement (AYM) organised the Patricia D'Costa Inter-Parish Championship Cup (Hockey & Football) on the 7th, 8th & 15th October, at the St. Andrew's Turf Park and school grounds. It attracted great participation and die-heart fans of these sports from 16 parishes in Mumbai.
The Andrean Sportsfest was possible with the help of our sponsors. The events main sponsor was Mr. Troy Costa, who is a fashion designer of international fame. Mr. Troy dedicated the sponsorship for the tournament in memory of his late mother Mrs. Patricia D'Costa.
The Hockey event was held on 7th October 2017 and 16 parishes participated. The men's event was on a knockout basis held at the St. Andrew's Turf Park. St. Blaise, Amboli emerged winners with St. Andrew, Bandra finishing runner-up.
The Football event had 16 Parishes in contention and was held on 8th and 15th October 2017 was no doubt exciting and got your heart racing. Holy Cross Church, Kurla emerged winners while Our Lady of Egypt Church, Kalina finished second.
Our grateful thanks to Mr. Troy Costa who sponsored the prize money for both disciplines of hockey and football, and to Mr. Amrish Daftary for sponsoring all the individual prizes such as Best Player & Most Promising Player in both disciplines.
This tournament would not have been possible without the unstinted support of the St. Andrews School Principal, Fr. Magi Murzello in using the facilities of the Turf and school grounds. This tournament was a roaring success and we cannot wait to see more action soon.

Inter Milan have reportedly been left furious with Ivan Perisic - after he took part in a professional beach volleyball competition.
Perisic, who has been linked with a move to Manchester United this summer, is allegedly set to be fined after breaking club rules.
Bild report that Inter are unhappy that he could have been injured while playing a completely different sport.
Perisic paired with Niksa Dell'Orco in a match against Brazilian duo Alvaro Morais Filho and Saymon Barbosa Santos at the Porec Major event in his native Croatia.
The fine could cause friction between Perisic and Inter as transfer speculation is set to be ramped up.
It was initially thought that Inter might have to sell Perisic in order to comply with UEFA Financial Fair Play regulations.
But Perisic remains at the San Siro for the time being.
United have been closely linked with a move for Perisic during this summer - and the Croatian is said to 'appreciate' and 'enjoy' the work of Jose Mourinho.
The Manchester Evening News report that the 28-year-old is keen on a return to the Champions League following a four-year absence.
While he is content with life in Milan, the father-of-two allegedly sees this summer as his big chance to move to the Premier League.
Perisic has previously enjoyed spells in France, Belgium, Germany and Italy.

Weekend in sight
Most of the group continued the same type of projects and tasks. Painting, sewing, upholstery, dishes, etc. The big event for the day unfolded slowly: the children began arriving after their school vacation. So the decibels of children's chatter at meals increased dramatically and the volume of dishes increased exponentially. We're intentionally planning more time with the kids because that's the primary reason for this place.
We saw God's protection today and several people still aren't 100% health-wise. So we'd appreciate your prayers. In the late afternoon we had a spectacular thunderstorm with violent gusts and rain coming in sideways. Unfortunately we had just painted a roof red and some of the rain coming off the roof was red!

Communicating with Coaches
Advice for Parents: Communicating with Coaches — and Children (Part 2) by Mike Woitalla, October 28th, 2013 7:31PM
There are numerous scenarios that make parents want to question their children's coach:
"Why doesn't Johnny get to play forward? … Why aren't we winning?
… Why doesn't Sally get more playing time … Why do you do this or that in practice? …"
Each question deserves an answer and it shouldn't be too difficult for a coach to explain his or her point of view.
Preemptive communication from the coach can decrease the need for parents' to seek out one-on-ones with the coach.
"It's like school," says longtime youth coach John O'Sullivan, the author of "Changing the Game." "If the teachers never had parent-teacher conferences and didn't send progress reports home, as a parent you'd be calling all the time asking, 'What's going on?'"
But regardless of how efficient coaches may be at communicating, parents will always have questions and some will get upset for one reason or another.
"No. 1, I think it's very important that parents always remember their focus is on one player out of 16 whereas the coach's focus is on 16 players," O'Sullivan says. "So your kid is getting a 16th of the attention while you're focused on one.
"Always remember the coach is trying to balance the need of 16 players. I think a lot of parents forget that, and you get the call, 'You promised that Johnny would play 30 minutes a game and he only played 27 and a half.'
"No. 2, don't come at it from a point of confrontation. Come from the point of 'How can I help this situation? … I just want to help my son or my daughter improve and I want to help you help them, so what do you see with my son and my daughter that will help them get more playing time?'"
KEEP EMOTIONS IN CHECK. Tim Carter, the Director at Shattuck-Saint Mary's, says there have to be rules about when it's appropriate for parents to approach the coaches because sports brings out such strong emotions. Carter is one who feels postgame is not the time:
"It's not the moment to go to the coach after the game. You may be too upset about something that happened or didn't happen."
O'Sullivan agrees, "Let your emotions cool. Let the coach's emotions cool. I think 24 hours is very fair as a general rule."
Michigan Wolves-Hawks SC Boys Director Brian Doyle also advocates the 24-hour rule:
"We don't want parents to call anybody for 24 hours. Let a day go by and if you still fell strongly, call."
But So Cal Blues director Tad Bobak, one of the nation's most experienced and successful youth coaches, is flexible when it comes to postgame.
"If they come to me right after a game and in my heart I feel it's an inappropriate time, I'll say, 'Mrs. Smith, I'll meet with you later in the week,'" says Bobak. "If I feel the appropriate time is right then and there, I'll do it right then and there.
"Some coaches have a 24-hour rule, but if I sense it's sort of a minor question that they want to have answered, and it's not very controversial or long, I'll do it. If I feel it's going to be heavier, I'll say let's meet later in the week. I try not to put myself in a box. I use the key words, 'appropriate time,' but I'm always open to communication."
De Anza Force Director of Coaching Jeff Baicher also believes that a postgame chat can be OK at times.
"There's nothing wrong with parents talking to a coach after a game," he says. "The two issues are, one, that it can be too emotional right after a game. There's something to be said for a cooling-off period. You might want to sit on that one. … The other is that the coach may have to run off to another game."
ENCOURAGE PLAYER RESPONSIBILITY. Carter believes that it's important for coaches to encourage players to do the asking:
"I think we have to make kids more responsible, and to go to the coach and ask, 'Can I talk to you?' I also understand that kids may go back to the parent and that I may need to have a follow-up discussion."
PARENT-TO-PARENT. One reason Carter stresses that coaches should be open to fielding questions from parents is that frustrated parents are likely to air their displeasure to each other.
"Parent-to-parent communicate gets so ratcheted up," he says. "And it can escalate problems. If you have an issue, go talk to that coach or the director. Don't go ratcheting it up between parents. Boiling-over emotion is not helping the situation."
THE RIDE HOME. I have asked many of coaches — besides those interviewed for this article — about what they wish from parents. I'd say that if coaches had a magic wand, they would use it to rein in how frustrated parents communicate with their children — especially on the ride home from a game.

Week 1 is in the history books, but not before offering surprise upsets (pour one out, Patriots nation) and highlight-reel plays.
Here are some exciting matchups for next week.
- Minnesota at Pittsburgh: Sunday, September 17th at 1:00 PM on FOX
This early matchup will pit the up-and-coming Vikings in the NFC North against the perennial contenders AFC North Steelers. The Minnesota defence, led by cornerback Xavier Rhodes, will look to make a statement against the vaunted Pittsburgh offense which features Le'Veon Bell and Antonio Brown. Pittsburgh will look to bounce back from last week's surprisingly narrow 21-18 victory over the Cleveland Browns. One or both of these teams is likely to make the playoffs this year, and this game could be a preview of things to come.
- Dallas at Denver: Sunday, September 17th at 4:25 PM on FOX
What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object? We'll find out when the Dallas Cowboys' offense collides with the Denver Broncos' defence. Now that Cowboys running back Zeke Elliott appears primed to play the entire 2017 season, it appears that quarterback Dak Prescott has all the tools he'll need to mount another playoff run. Standing in their way is the Denver's "No Fly Zone" defense, led by Aqib Talib and Von Miller. It will be interesting to see what defensive schemes Denver head coach Vance Joseph dials up to slow down the sophomore Prescott.
- Green Bay at Atlanta: Sunday, September 17th at 8:30 PM on NBC
Two of the NFC's best offenses will meet for a Sunday night showdown. The last time these teams faced off was the NFC Championship Game, where the Falcons blew out the Packers 44-21. This week, look for Green Bay to seek redemption and pick up the pace after a slow offensive start against the Seahawks in Week 1. Atlanta should also come out swinging in an effort to maintain the momentum from their win over the Bears. It's still early, but there's a real chance that this game could affect home-field advantage come playoffs.
- Detroit Lions at New York Giants: Monday, September 18th at 8:30 PM on ESPN
Monday night's matchup promises to be a battle of the gunslingers. Matt Stafford and Eli Manning will face off in what should be a high-scoring affair. The Giants procured multiple new weapons for Manning this offseason, including Brandon Marshall and rookie Evan Engram. Matt Stafford received some new toys as well, including rookie sensation Kenny Golladay. Tune in to see which of these quarterbacks comes out on top in this marquee contest.
Happy watching!

Once considered the roughhousing brats of the GLBT aquatics community, lesbian and gay water polo teams have grown up, and their sport's series of tournaments make for serious competition.
Friendly rivalries help keep team competition spirited, despite the occasional lapses in decorum. Water polo's roughest play is often underwater, unseen by fans and, sometimes, referees. Players tell a variety of tales of surreptitiously grabbed Speedos and yanked limbs.
All competing teams are members of the International Gay and Lesbian Aquatics (IGLA), the governing body of GLBT swimming, whose annual event has drawn formidably large teams like San Francisco's Tsunami, Washington, D.C.'s Wetskins, and a fledgling new squad in Salt Lake City.
Water polo's first inclusion at an IGLA Championship in 1987 in San Diego was merely an exhibition match. Over the next years, polo games were played after the day's other aquatic events. IGLA '96, in Washington, D.C., marked a turning point for IGLA polo. Games were held at a separate venue from the swimming competition, allowing organizers to hold matches all day long.
Despite its egalitarian membership recruitment, the sport does lend itself to a sexy image, particularly among the ranks of West Hollywood's WH20 squad. Possibly one of their most photographed moments was their victory at Gay Games VI in Sydney, when the squad sported fabulous floral print Speedos.
But they're not just pretty boys and girls. One of IGLA's oldest water polo teams, WH20 holds the most IGLA Championship titles of any team, making for a winning mix of fun, fashion, and fierce competitiveness.
Julie Wolff captains West Hollywood's women's team. "We've been playing high schools and other masters teams, in open leagues, and a women's league with [University of California] Irvine Masters," says Wolff. "We also scrimmage with men's teams." Two women have to be in the water at all times for a team to be truly coed.
Wolff notes that smaller, lighter balls are used for women-only matches. "For passing and shooting, you can really feel the difference," she says.
Like many California natives, Wolff attended a high school that offered water polo as one of its sports. In collegiate divisions, she says most teams are still from the West Coast.
"Even in my senior year, there were only 12 non-West-Coast teams," she says. "But there's been a big surge. Title IX helped women get into water polo." Wolff cites UCLA, Stanford, and Loyola among the universities now offering full scholarships to women.
Among gay teams, the Seattle Otters was originally formed in 1990 as a women's team to compete in the Gay Games III, held in Vancouver, B.C. The Otters became a coed team in 1992, when they hosted that year's IGLA tournament.
Between renting pool time and hiring coaches, tournaments and practices don't come cheap. Most teams borrow goal cages, which can cost up to $2,000.
And since water polo's skills require both brawn and brains, it's no surprise that most players have college degrees.
"It's very analytical," says WH2O's Wolff. "It's like a game of chess: to see where you're going, and what your opponent's next move will be."
Clubs have also spread their fan base through a diverse array of amusing social fundraisers, like the San Francisco team's upcoming Tsunami de Mayo two-day tournament, held the first weekend in May. Parties offer competitors from six cities ample schmooze time out of the pool.
Tyler Schnoebelen, Tsunami Polo president, has enjoyed three years with his team. As a teen in Iowa, he played "jungle ball," an informal version of water polo. A fencer at Yale who only swam recreationally, he says he finds the team environment an enjoyable challenge. Tsunami now has three teams, ranked according to skill level. "Our intention was to break it down, and
make an A Team that's really an elite squad," says Schnoebelen.
Doug Fadel, who played competitively in junior high and high school, says that about 40 people have expressed interest in his new Salt Lake City team, Queer Utah Aquatics Club (QUAC). With about five percent women and a few straight players and coaches, QUAC takes all comers and hopes to attend this fall's IGLA championships in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Oct. 7-10.
"We will probably go to Chicago for Gay Games VII," says Fadel. "However, two years is beyond our planning at this time."
Polo players also participate in IGLA's notoriously hilarious Pink Flamingo water ballet competition. IGLA 2003, held at Stanford University's facilities last August, not only broke even financially, but also made a profit, which Tsunami Polo shared through donations to local charities.
"You begin with a drive for competition and fitness," Tsunami's Schnoebelen says. "But what you happen into is this great group of people who wouldn't necessarily connect for different reasons. We have artists, CEOs of companies; the social environment is really compelling."

A documentary co-produced with TVC, the public broadcasting network of Catalonia, on the poet Bartomeu Rosselló-Pòrcel. He died of tuberculosis at the age of 24 and has become a myth thanks to his extraordinary poetic personality.
Production year: 2015
Bartomeu Rosselló-Pòrcel (Palma 1913 – Brull, Barcelona, 1938) was a Spanish Balearic poet that in spite of his premature death, he has become one of the most influential writers in Catalan language.
Surrounded by an aura of mystery as a result of his precocious brilliance halted by his short life, this documentary depicts his figure and his short but intense and cutting-edge body of work through the intervention of distinguished philologists and scholars of his biography.
Rosselló-Pòrcel was a pupil of Catalan poet, writer and translator Carles Riba and a personal friend of Salvador Espriu, a Catalan playwright, poet and novelist, to whom he dedicated his opus Imitation of Fire.
He was a poet that transcended its own time since the impact of his verses continue to be present not only in literature, but also in theatre, dance and music.
For this reason, this documentary gathers the voices of prominent creators of Catalan culture such as writer Biel Mesquida and songstress Maria del Mar Bonet, who have been inspired by his work of genius.
Maria del Mar Bonet set to music several of his poems and performed live two of them in a brand new recording exclusively for this documentary, taking the audience to the intangible time of poetry with her voice and guitar. Jaume Manresa, former member of Majorcan pop band Antònia Font, also set to music Rosselló-Pòrcel's words and composed the soundtrack for the documentary. Actor Miguel Àngel Torrens and dancer Aina Pascual recreated the emotion contained in the author's verses with their voices and bodies.
As a background, we have the landscapes and images that the "Catalan from Majorca" -as the poet described himself- recalled from his exile in Barcelona: the orange trees from the valley of Sóller, the streets of Palma and the Tramuntana Range's nature.
This documentary has been broadcasted in programmes such as "El Documental" by Catalan TV channel C33 (TVC) and "L'hora D" by IB3, the public Balearic TV channel.
Produced by: Quindrop Producciones Audiovisuales amb la participació de Televisió de Catalunya | With the support of: Consell de Mallorca, Institut d'Estudis Baleàrics, Institució de les Lletres Catalanes, Fundació Lluís Carulla, Ayuntamiento de Palma and PEN Català | Direction: Joan Josep Suñer and Alberto Jarabo | Script: Joan Josep Suñer | Executive production: Magdalena López-Baisson, Pablo Azorín, Joan Josep Suñer | Production: Magdalena López-Baisson | Technical direction: Alberto Jarabo and Aina Riera | Photography: Javier González Bordas | Editing: Alberto Jarabo | Music: Jaume Manresa and Mª del Mar Bonet | Performances: Miquel Àngel Torrens and Aina Pascual | Graphics: Luis Ozonas | Runtime: 56 min | Format: HD

Effectively – that's the major point about offering ghost writer services. Seeking the idea isn't your issue! The customer has the idea and pays off you to definitely write it. All you need to be worried about is how to handle the cash. Of course it isn't definitely quite so simple. Composing is definitely rather work. After which, obviously, there's the customer. Any individual providing ghost writer services will identify the unworthy believed: it would be great whether it wasn't for that consumer! Clients may be found in all shapes and forms and they can be an enjoyment or even a pain. The catch is, you don't know ahead of time that they will be!
So which kind of customers can you get? Nicely, they generally do get caught in a number of sorts.
- The wheel kicker. An individual conveys noticeable interest in making use of your providers. They e-snail mail or call you again and again, inquiring detailed questions on your methods of operating, regards to service, how much investigation you are prepared to do, and so forth., you with patience response. Then suddenly you don't pick up any more and recognize these were just selecting your brains – probably with the idea of starting in operation for their own reasons. On the other hand they may have squandered a great deal of your time and efforts!
- The pestered. A customer hires you to conduct a career but never gives you a moment's tranquility, e-mailing or phoning you every day to examine whether you are on objective to satisfy the timeline. This is the easiest way to prevent you from reaching it!
- The cheapskate. An enquirer obviously wishes the services you provide but isn't ready to pay the rate for the task. He/she keeps trying to surpass you straight down and use you downward. This is quite normal. (In case you are just starting out in the market of delivering ghost writer services, here a tip – Do not be lured to lessen costs to obtain the work. You'll believe it is hard to increase your prices afterwards.)
- The wavered. You concur with employment for a buyer, although the customer then maintains relocating the goalposts – altering his/her thoughts in regards to the size, the stopping, the number of chapters – you name it. It's vital that you draft a good and thorough contract before you start, and then make it very clear that major changes costs added.
Don't get me wrong – numerous customers are beautiful and grow your friends. And naturally, without customers there'd be no work! So enjoy them or loathe them, you can't do without! But if you are searching for hiring a ghostwriter professional services, remember – the simpler you will be making existence for the ghost writer, the quicker your career is certain to get completed and the far better work it will be!

The market has changed. The lending game has changed. But homeownership is still the American Dream.
I can understand why younger folks (people in their early 20's especially) might have a negative view of owning a home. They may have seen their parents go through some tough times recently. Like having to short sale their home…or worse letting it go into foreclosure. Maybe some of them have even witnessed people they know having to file bankruptcy. Times have been tough…no doubt.
But what they need to look at is this. Homeownship has traditionally been a great decision. Not only for the obvious reasons…like being able to make the home "yours" with decor, painting and landscaping…and getting one of the few tax breaks available. But for something more. Something that is hard to describe if you have never owned a home. It's a feeling of pride. It's also comforting knowing YOU are in charge…not your landlord.
Why buy now? Well..if you are reading this and you live in one of the many economically hard hit areas…like Arizona…then prices are SUPER LOW. I recently sold a home to a nice couple for 205k. That home last sold for 422K. Less than half of the price. AND they got a new loan with an interest rate of 4.5%…and a payment of around $1150. There is NO WAY they could rent a home like this for that price. NO WAY. In looking in MLS in that neighborhood for rentals…they are at least $1300…all the way up to $1550 per month. AND no tax benefits.
Are we at the "bottom" of the market. I don't care who you listen to …NO ONE knows the answer to that question. If you "chase bottoms" whether it be in stock markets or housing markets…you may or may not win. When you KNOW it is at the bottom…you missed it! My good friend has a saying…"Figures don't lie…but liers figure". And there is A LOT of both going on.
I think the BEST reason for homeownership is simply having a stable place to live and raise a family…be it kids, dogs or cats! The original idea was to buy a home…pay it off…and be comfortable in your old age. That may not be YOUR plan…but it still has merit. Even if you have to move…rent it out. Owning something when someone ELSE is making the payment ROCKS. MANY smart people live on positive cash flow from homes they own. And when the prices start going up…and they WILL…you WILL have equity.
Why now though? INTEREST RATES. I know you hear all the time that rates are at an all time low. It's because they have kept going down. But this you can count on. When the economy starts a recovery…rates will increase. This can make the difference in getting THE home in THE neighborhood that you truly want…or settling for less than what would really suit you.
So…get over the fear…stop listening to all the negative and conflicting news reports…and get into a home while the getting is good!
As always… if you are looking for a GREAT agent to help with your real estate needs please e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com or give me a call (or text) at 602-504-3898 or 888-897-7821 x 114. Plus, I have a GREAT search tool on my web site that gives you the ability to search the entire MLS…just like agents do. Very COOL! Go to Metro Phoenix Homes and check it out! YOU can create and save as many searches as you would like…and it is THE SAME SEARCH I DO AS AN AGENT! You will LOVE it!

Understanding Ambiversion: Are You an Ambivert?
You're sociable, love going out and meeting people. Yet, you feel the need to retreat and have some alone time afterward. Or you could be someone who feels uncomfortable seeing and meeting new faces. Yet, when left on your own, you feel bored and want the company of others. When you and the people around you just can't seem to categorize you as either an extrovert or an introvert, it could be because you're somewhere in between these two – someone called an AMBIVERT.

The Benefits of Confidence
Confidence is defined as "a feeling or consciousness of one's powers or of reliance on one's circumstances" (Merriam-Webster). This term basically means that you have a sense of self-worth and you are proud of the person you are or the person you're striving to become.
One popular myth about confidence is that it equals being full of yourself or arrogant. This is not true. There is a difference between confidence and arrogance. Confidence is simply knowing that you are valuable and knowing your worth. Arrogance is thinking you are worth more than other individuals.
Confidence is something that we all should try to achieve because it greatly influences our quality of life. There are several benefits to confidence, though this article will only focus on four of them.

Becoming Aware of Your Faults
Self-awareness is a major factor in achieving a better quality of life. Knowing your flaws and faults as well as how to overcome them is critical to living a happy and healthy life.
Step 1: Find Your Weaknesses
The first step to being aware of your faults is to discover your weaknesses. Once you know them, find a way to use them to your advantage. They become a strength instead of a downfall.
Source: connectioncafe.com
Being aware of your faults does not mean beating yourself up for them. On the contrary, it means you're human, as an earlier article discussed. Faults are not a bad thing. As human beings, we all have them. Our job is to use them positively instead of allowing them to affect our lives negatively.
Help Me Love Me – Tips On Self-Love
You've been meaning to join the team since you transferred to this place, but you just can't. Your family and friends keep telling you that you're very much qualified – even better than half of the team members. Although, you just can't shake off the feeling that you might embarrass yourself. You're almost convinced that you're just not good enough, and you hate yourself for that.
Keeping grudges towards yourself is a sure-fire way to self-destruction. This is what people usually feel when they've experienced rejection, like not getting the job you've always wanted or not being accepted in the society. Abandonment also causes one to think twice about oneself. When someone you love leaves you for another, for personal or financial reasons, it greatly affects how you perceive yourself and your capabilities. Other than finding professional help online in dealing with feelings of self-hate, here are some effective ways to develop self-love.
Teaching Self Awareness
Can free online counseling teach you self-awareness? It's hard to relate to self-awareness because sometimes you just don't know who you are. Yes, you know your name but when it comes to defining who you are it's not always easy. However, is there a way to teach self-awareness even when you don't know where to start? How can you teach you self-awareness and make it a simple road to understand?
What Is Self Awareness?
It's about understanding your unique qualities. Self-awareness is all about your values, what you believe in, your weaknesses as well as your aspirations, expectations and even your feelings and needs. If you see an online therapist they will tell you exactly the same thing and it's very important to teach yourself self-awareness so you can become a better and more positive person. Without self-awareness, you can feel lost in a big world and that isn't good. You must be able to find out who you really are so that you can become a different person but one you like and admire. It's not as hard as you might think and with a little help, anything is possible. Read More
Learn To Love Yourself
One thing which is taught in free online counseling is to love yourself. How easy is it to love yourself? Well, for most, they really don't know what that means or how they can do just that. It's not easy because when you see the person you have become and don't like it, you can't love you! However, there are potentially many ways to actually change the person you are and learn to love yourself once again. This lack of self-love could be traced in childhood which is why there continues to have House Bills that aim to protect children. Read more here.

One major factor has to be down to your feelings and the situation you find yourself in. today, head and heart health remains two very important factors of life and they cannot be ignored. How can you keep your head and heart healthy and why does it actually matter?
Does It Matter To Be Heart And Head Healthy?
Health matters, especially when it comes to your heart and indeed your head. You can be sick in either and it can impact your life in a major way. When your heart isn't healthy you may find it difficult to do the basic, everyday things in life, and when it comes to your head, you may struggle to get out of bed in the morning.

I am an intercessor. And I love to read the scriptures and discover prayers within them.
God has relentlessly loved and pursued me. It's taken more years than I'd like to admit for me to accept His love. Thankfully, today I believe that I am loved by the Creator of all things beautiful! By the way, I'm thrilled to experience God's love via my sweet husband, David White! We are enjoying our 12th year of marriage. And we are living a life together that is more than I could have asked or imagined.
I would love for you to meet my amazing family and friends. There are too many to list here, but if you follow me on facebook, you'll quickly learn who they are and see why I love them so!
