Shier had close look at Cal Ripken Jr.
Jim Ecker
Saturday, October 10, 2009
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Imagine being 18 years old, a young shortstop in the Baltimore Orioles organization, and you're taking ground balls and talking baseball in spring training with Cal Ripken Jr., the Iron Man of baseball who broke Lou Gehrig's record.
The Year is 2000. Your name is Pete Shier.
"It was kind of cool, and scary at the same time, to go to spring training with Cal Ripken Jr.," Shier said Friday at the WWBA Underclass World Championship, where he's coaching the Phoenix Bat team from Ohio. "He walked right in, and there's a future Hall of Famer, and he gave me some pointers. I felt like I didn't know anything, after everything that he was showing me. It was great to be a part of the organization that whole time."
Shier, 28, spent eight years with the Orioles, all in the minor leagues. He was a shortstop, but his timing wasn't real good. Ripken had already moved from shortstop to third base by the time Shier joined the organization, but he later got stuck behind all-star shortstop Miguel Tejada on the depth chart. Later, when Shier signed with Philadelphia as a free agent in 2007, the Phils had an all-star shortstop of their own in Jimmy Rollins.
Imagine that. He got to learn from Ripken, Tejada and Rollins, three of the best in the business.
Shier kept toiling in the minor leagues, but three knee surgeries, including a pair of torn ACLs, led to his retirement after a Double-A campaign with the Phils in 2007. He has great memories, however, including that first spring training with the O's in 2000.
"I was 18 years old, and Mr. Ripken -- that's what I called him, Mr. Ripken -- he kept saying, 'Call me Cal, call me Cal,'" Shier related. "Being a shortstop, I got to spend basically every day with him in spring training, for a good four or five years. It was really nice, and he kind of took me under his wing. He was great."
Shier called Ripken a "presence," both for his aura and physical size (6-foot-5, 230).
"And it was intimidating," Shier said. "It was kind of like, 'Man, he doesn't miss a ground ball, he's so smooth.' And I'm rushing things."
Ripken broke Gehrig's record for most consecutive games when he played in his 2,131st straight on Sept. 6, 1995. Ripken kept going and raised the mark to 2,632 before finally skipping a game on Sept. 20, 1998. Shier was drafted by Baltimore in June of 1999 and went to spring training the next year.
Shier said Ripken didn't talk about the streak in the clubhouse or on the field. "Never at all," he said.
Ripken had a simple point of view, according to Shier. He was a professional ballplayer who got paid to play, every day. It was his job, and he took great pride in doing it well. Every single day. It was as simple as that.
"I wanted to idolize that, being able to play, day after day after day after day, and be like Ripken in that way," Shier said. Unfortunately, his knee injuries got in the way.
Shier and Ripken became friends, and Ripken has invited him to participate in events together, something Shier greatly appreciates.
Shier, who is from Columbus, Ohio, put the Phoenix Bat team together this fall to give players from Ohio a chance to play in showcase events like the WWBA tournament in Fort Myers. Now that his playing days are over, he'd like to get into scouting or coaching at the college or professional level.
He never made the big leagues as a player, but he has lots of good memories, especially of the man he used to call Mr. Ripken and now calls Cal.

More about Cupcakes and Muffins
A cupcake, fairy cake or patty cake is a small cake designed to serve one person, usually made in a small paper cup containers. Frosting or icing and other cake decorations including sprinkles, chocolate, fruit, are defining characteristics of modern cupcakes.
The name "cupcake" is given as it is a small cake the size of a teacup. In previous centuries, before muffin tins were widely available, the cakes were often baked in individual pottery cups, ramekins, or moulds. The name "fairy cake" is a fanciful description of its size - an appropriate size for a party of diminutive fairies to share.
Cupcakes are often served during a celebration, such as weddings and children's birthday parties. Additionally, they can be served as an accompaniment to afternoon tea. They are a more convenient alternative to cake as they are smaller and don't require plates, utensils or division into individual portions.
A simple cupcake uses the same basic ingredients as standard-sized cakes: butter, sugar, eggs, and flour. They do not have to utilize all these ingredients - eggs and butter may be substituted for vegans or people with allergies.

During my years in England, it seemed almost everyone had heard of the Calgary Stampede, Exhibition and Rodeo. "What's it like?" people would ask, wide-eyed and in hushed tones as if it were a magical event.
Women after birth can look radiant and lovely, if they brush their hair, have a quick wash, put on some gloss and simply smile while holding their baby, but for most mothers that's the last thing on their mind.
Yes, Kate may be Royal. Yes, she may have a number of Royal advantages at her finger tips (that the rest of us don't) and, yes, she did look bloody gorgeous just hours after having her baby, but so the hell what?!
If a "dad bod" means having a protruding belly rather than washboard abs, then a "mum bod" involves having stretch marks, cellulite and a little tummy. But instead of accepting our bodies, we berate ourselves and push unobtainable beauty standards onto other women.
I hear your elder brother George is quite a big deal. My big sister, Freyja, is too. At least that is what it feels like sometimes. For a start, she had a baby book which is at least partly filled in. Mine is completely blank. I am not even sure if my parents have even opened it.
The experience with your first born is absolutely unique and the time so precious. It's only when the next one arrives that it really sinks in that you will never have the same level of relative calm or one-on-one time with either of your little ones again.
As I scrolled through my Facebook timeline on Saturday afternoon, there it was - an image of a little, black girl, fully-clothed in a bright pink tutu...
The new royal baby is set to come in time for the May half-term school holidays. So why not give something back to the doting British public who are rushing out to buy souvenirs to celebrate the birth? Last time more than £250million was spent in shops when baby George was born.
If you look around, you'll spot many families with two or more children. Having a new baby in the family can feel a bit strange to start with, but here are some tips that have helped many children your age, and their parents at this exciting time.
Princess Kate is entirely correct, there is still a social stigma surrounding mental health and that prevents people from seeking and receiving the help they need. Yet suggesting mental health issues always have a dramatic cause feeds into that stigma.
As a Mum of three, I wanted to take this opportunity to share with you some of the things that I wish had been shared with me, as our family grew from one to two children. I've got a lot to say about the upping the ante from two to three, but that's another letter.
Since Judy Finnigan's wardrobe malfunction at the National Television Awards, I'm pretty sure she's gone about her day without men pulling open her dress, juggling her jubblies and cheerily reassuring her, "everyone's seen them anyway".
Does Germaine know what Kate eats? No. Would she criticise William's weight in the same way? Probably not. Unfortunately, Germaine's "too thin" comment has overshadowed the thought-provoking points she makes in the Newsweek article, where she discusses Kate's complex role as a woman, mother and wife within the Royal Family.
The island of Malta was under the spotlight this week, as it celebrated its 50th anniversary of independence and welcomed Prince William to mark the occasion. Although Kate was originally intended for the Royal Visit, her husband stepped in due to acute morning sickness.
"CAN EVERYONE JUST LEAVE ME ALONE SO I CAN GET DRESSED!" You shout. Loudly. Too loudly. The baby is now crying. You feel so guilty you given them two biscuits and read them a story in your top and underwear.
HG is a very very bad version of morning sickness. Really, superbad. Mothers can become ill very quickly if they don't consume any liquids for a few days, and they really do need to seek help. And maybe now that Her Royal Highness has kindly shed some green-tinged light on a serious condition that affects 1% of expectant mothers.

For college fund raisers, one bright spot in the economic doldrums is that it's easier to talk with potential donors about their deaths.
Worried about outliving their assets, many alumni who want to make a charitable gift are now more inclined to do so in their wills. And fund raisers feel more comfortable bringing up the subject.
"'Have you included Oregon State University in your estate plan?,'" says Dan Peterson, vice president for principal gifts and gift planning at the

Apple reportedly has purchased its first Israel-based company, Anobit Ltd., a flash storage solutions provider, for an estimated $500 million.
The deal for the Herzliya-based startup reportedly was finalized Tuesday. Anobit's management was gathering its staff early Tuesday afternoon to formally announce the acquisition by Apple, the Israeli financial daily Calcalist reported.
The purchase comes on the heels of an announcement last week that Apple will open a development center in Israel focusing on semiconductors, reportedly the first to be opened outside of Apple's California headquarters.

OPEC Fund extends $2 million to rehabilitate infrastructure in Palestine
The OPEC Fund for International Development has approved a grant of two million dollars to support an ongoing project established by the Islamic Development Bank (IDB) to repair and rebuild homes and public buildings that have been damaged or destroyed by Israeli military incursions into Palestine.
The IDB project, Rehabilitation and Reconstruction of Damaged Houses and Private Properties in Palestine, began in February 2001. To date, around 29,000 homes have been renovated. Now in its second phase, the project has intensified its efforts and widened its scope to include the repair of damaged roads.
The Fund grant will be drawn from its Special Grant Account for Palestine, which was set up to help finance relief operations in the occupied territories. With an initial endowment of $10 million, the account has enabled the Fund to scale up its intervention and provide greater assistance to the Palestinian people. The first grant drawn from the Account was approved in December 2002 for two million dollars and co-financed an initiative aimed at providing financial support to Palestinian universities and students.
Since its inception, the OPEC Fund has pledged its solidarity with Palestine by extending over $16.5 million in grants for a number of emergency assistance schemes and a wide range of regional programs that supported, among others, hospitals, maternity clinics, rehabilitation and vocational training centers and colleges. — (menareport.com)

With better battery life and performance than the Yoga 3 Pro (not to mention a lower price), the Yoga 3 14 is one of the best hybrid deals around.
Equipped with a 6-inch display, 4G capabilities, and a 13-megapixel camera, Alcatel's latest OneTouch Hero 2C phablet has its eyes on Latin America.
Pricing not available
If price is your guide, Alcatel's OneTouch Fierce 2 is one of your lowest-cost choices. Otherwise, opt for a Motorola Moto G or Samsung Galaxy Avant instead.
Launched in September, the Evolve 2 is ultra-affordable and entry-level.
Watch out, Samsung. The Galaxy Note 4 isn't the only "phablet" with a stylus to launch at IFA 2014.
Pricing not available
At IFA 2014, Alcatel announced a slew of midrange 4G LTE devices that come in several colors and five different sizes.
Pricing not available
Lenovo's Yoga 2 11 combines the popular Yoga hybrid design with an affordable 11-inch ultraportable for a system that's budget-feeling but sturdy, and one of the best of a new breed of low-cost hybrids.
While it looks exactly the same as the Alcatel One Touch Idol 2, the 2 S sports LTE connectivity and a sharper screen. Find out more.
Packing 4G connectivity and a new metallic finish is the quad-core follow-up to last year's Idol.
Rocking a 4.5-inch IPS display and a quad-core processor, the Idol 2 Mini may just be the perfect size and phone for the basic user.

That famous story by O�Henry is often revisited at this holiday time of year. A young couple who are struggling financially have no money to buy each other the beautiful gifts they would like to give. Each of them has one possession they treasure: the husband, a gold watch that belonged to his father, the wife, her amazing long hair that reaches her knees. When the holiday arrives and they exchange their gifts, it turns out that the husband has sold his watch to buy special combs for his wife�s...
Tip of the Week
TIP OF THE WEEKIt�s the season for entertaining. Between the holidays, family gatherings and just needing an excuse to socialize during the long winter months, you�ll probably be organizing several fun parties and gatherings at your home.

Service - Administrative Law Judge Ruling
Notice given that the Administrative Law Judge has completed a review of the application filed by Energy Solutions Group LLC ("Applicant") on April 6, 2012 and hereby rules that the information described below shall be filed with the Chief Clerk of the Illinois Commerce Commission on or before May 1, 2012. The response to this ruling must include (1) the docket number, case caption, and an original signature, (2) a verification page, and (3) a certificate of service indicating that the response was served on all those on the service list.

Applicant shall also electronically serve a Word version of its response on the Administrative Law Judge (firstname.lastname@example.com) by the date indicated.
1) Section 454.40(c)(2) of 83 Ill. Adm. Code 454,
"Licensure of Retail Electric Agents, Brokers, and Consultants" ("Part 454"), requires an applicant to be authorized to conduct business in Illinois, which includes possessing a certificate in good standing from the Illinois Secretary of State. A review of the Illinois Secretary of State's website (http://www.ilsos.gov/corporatellc/) indicates that Applicant does not possess a certificate in good standing. Applicant must remedy this omission before the Commission can grant the requested relief. 2) Section 454.90 sets forth a code of conduct applicable to any person or entity required to be licensed pursuant to Part 454. Amendments to Section 454.90 became effective on November 1, 2011. Applicant appears to rely on the earlier version of Section 454.90. Applicant must commit to comply with the code of conduct set forth in the currently effective Section 454.90 if it wishes to receive the license it requests. Parties advised electronically.

Editorial: Schools' hard work now needs to be maintained
With Collier County Public Schools rated Grade-A these days, there are ample reasons and opportunities for celebration. It takes the best efforts from all parts of an education community to get the job done, and part of the grading, based on Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test scores, depends on improvement by students who struggle the most.
Now, the goal is maintaining the momentum. The federal No Child Left Behind program ought to help. Although, like FCAT, far from perfect — according to Democrats as well as Republicans — the oversight presence can have a beneficial effect.
Despite the overall A, individual schools still lag what No Child Left Behind calls adequate yearly progress. Subject to an extra measure of scrutiny this coming year are Naples, Lely and Immokalee high schools, Highlands, Avalon, Poinciana, Golden Gate, Village Oaks and Eden Park elementary schools, and East Naples, Golden Gate, Immokalee and Manatee middle schools.
There is a positive precedent. Four schools have improved their standing after being listed last year: Shadowlawn and Pinecrest elementaries, Golden Gate High and Immokalee Community School.
Further, last year Immokalee and Golden Gate high schools and the Immokalee Community School were all placed on the list because they were F schools. Golden Gate High School and the Immokalee Community School are currently C schools and are meeting 85 percent of annual yearly progress standards. Immokalee High improved from an F to a D.
Further, there is much to learn from a follow-up look at FCAT results by grade levels and by schools. Reading scores led the pack; math and science offer the greatest opportunities for improvement at sites across the county, not just pockets of poverty.
Further still, achievements in students reading or doing math at grade level still meant from one-half to one-quarter of the classes remained behind. (See Collier, Lee and other counties' data for yourself online at http://fcat.fldoe.org/mediapacket/2009/default.asp)
There is plenty of work to do, and there are plenty of incentives to stay on task.

A little ugly, but it's got it where it counts8/30/2012
After the awful, failed Griffin iPod Touch case that started literally falling off my son's device, it was REALLY nice to see him get a case that protects SERIOUSLY well. Personally, I think the aesthetic is just a little challenged, but my son actually loves how it looks, and that's alright by me, knowing there's virtually NO chance his iPod will be mistreated now.

It is seldom indeed that the happy combination of Full Bands definition coincides with the MS68 Superb Gem level of preservation, but when it does the results are extraordinary. Of the nearly 180,000 Mercury dimes certified at PCGS thus far, only 436 pieces are certified MS68 Full Bands, less duplicates. For the 1938 issue, this piece is one of eight MS68 Full Bands coins (2/09). The surfaces show delightful ice-blue, olive, and lilac shadings, with generous luster and essentially flawless surfaces, as expected. The strike is uniformly sharp throughout.

Microsoft reveals the Xbox One's new controller. One of the new features is developer-programmable trigger buttons.
While the PS4 remains our overall preferred choice in the next-gen console race, the Xbox One's significant first-year course corrections -- including a welcome holiday price drop -- make it a better deal than ever, and a much better bargain than when it first debuted.

Earnings Preview: United Parcel Service sees Q2 EPS $1.13
United Parcel Service (UPS) is expected to report Q2 earnings on Tuesday, July 23 before the market open with a conference call scheduled for 8:30 am ET. UPS is a package delivery company and provider of global supply chain management solutions. EXPECTATIONS: Analysts are looking for EPS of $1.13 on revenue of $13.59B, according to First Call. The consensus range for EPS is $1.12-$1.13 on revenue of $13.2B-$13.93B. LAST QUARTER: UPS reported Q1 adjusted EPS of $1.04 against estimates for $1.01 on revenue of $13.43B against estimates for $13.47B. On July 12, UPS lowered its FY13 EPS view to $4.65-$4.85 from $4.80-$5.06, consensus $4.98. Q2 EPS was forecast at $1.13, consensus $1.20. UPS said, "Overcapacity in the global air freight market, increasing customer preference for lower-yielding shipping solutions, and a slowing U.S. industrial economy drove revenue and operating profit below expectations. In addition, UPS experienced some slowing in package volume growth as a result of labor negotiations. We expect the second quarter market trends to persist and UPS is adapting to meet these conditions. Despite downward revisions to economic forecasts for the second half of the year, we anticipate solid profit growth. However, we are reducing guidance for 2013 adjusted diluted EPS to a range of $4.65 to $4.85, a 3%-7% increase over last year." STREET RESEARCH: Street research has been mixed in the weeks leading up to UPS' Q2 earnings report. On July 11, UPS was initiated with a Buy at Buckingham, price target $115. On July 15, three firms, BB&T, Raymond James, and JP Morgan all downgraded UPS citing the slower pace of earnings growth. PRICE ACTION: UPS' shares have gained approximately 3% since Q1 results were released in late April, and reached a 52-week high of $91.78 earlier this month. In early afternoon trading ahead of Tuesday's Q2 report, UPS' shares are down about 0.2%.

Up, up and away as HondaJet makes public debut at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh, Winconsin, AUS
Posted: August 01, 2014|
The first production HondaJet made its public debut this week at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh, Winconsin, AUS. Following a celebratory event commemorating the occasion, the HondaJet concluded the day with an entertaining flight demonstration that included high and low-speed passes during the afternoon air show.
"EAA AirVenture Oshkosh has been the setting of several HondaJet firsts and in many ways, this event was the true beginning of Honda's aviation venture," said Honda Aircraft President and CEO Michimasa Fujino."We decided to debut the first production HondaJet here as part of Honda's ongoing commitment to inspire others through the power and realisation of our dreams."
"We again welcome the impressive innovation and technology from the Honda Aircraft team, as it is a perfect fit for the world of flying ingenuity we see every year at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh," said Jack J. Pelton, EAA's chairman of the board."It has been fascinating to watch the development of the HondaJet from its original concept to the production aircraft shown here at Oshkosh."

League to unveil two prototypes

- More MMB, less (or no) rawk
- More earlier games if possible (even living on the west coast right now, let's be honest, some of the games would be fine if they're not in the 3:30 or a prime time spot). Plus then folks can actually pay attention to other important games that day.
- Actual maize, not neon yellow (and MVictors always has good ideas to get the away jerseys right)
- Kill the "you suck" - not sure if this has been tried, but what about just replacing with "Go Blue" - I HATE that they tried to cover it up by adding notes to the song - douse that with fire, please.

Have to say that the brisket at Sheffield's is pretty top-notch. Agree that it probably isn't in the same league as mosf of the texas BBQ, but they do a nice job there, the prices aren't too bad, there's plenty of good beer and they have a nice little patio area.
Their other food / BBQ is pretty good as well. Make sure you give the Carolina sauce a shot - sometimes you have to ask for it specifically.

I was at a bar called South in LA, which has unfortunately since closed. It was definitely the best Michigan bar in town and there were several hundred people in there just going crazy with the comeback. Probably as with most places, it was more disbelief than anything as once we were down big most people had just transitioned over to drinking heavily...
Almost felt sorry for the Kansas fans at the bar... but then again why were they there?

The season was pushed back a week due to 9/11 so this game was the Saturday after Thanksgiving.
Out-of-state students obviously had no way of knowing this would be the case before showing up on campus that fall, and a good 30-40% of the student section was filled with Buckeye fans. The Gonzales safety at the end of the first half made it clear that it just wasn't our day.
Man I wish they would move The Game to a week that is friendly to all students. Obviously not as big of a deal for OSU. To me, not being able to easily attend the biggest home game of your collegiate life is disenfranchising for people who attend Michigan from afar and want to spend Thanksgiving with their families. (A 2-day trip is nonsensical for a lot of people.) At this point, I think the solution is to push it back another week after Thanksgiving.

Don't love the Jordan aspect, but otherwise, good stuff. Get people wearing the right gear for your campus.
Of course Georgetown is going to pull people from all over the country / world with different sports & school allegiances, but college is the time to cement the team you're going to support for the rest of your life.

Originally, as far as I can remember, people actually didn't say anything and it was just a tomahawk chop.
Then, folks started to push for "the claw" which always seemed to have a mixed response. Personally, I always advocated the hammer (a fist) as in the defense putting the hammer down on the opposing offense, but that obviously didn't ever pick up.
Then folks started yelling "You Suck" at the end (Yost is a decent bet though most of those cheers end in "You just suck..." which is the culmination of generally more creative cheers there so I'm okay with it. Anyhow, that evolved to the weird singing of "You Suck" which should just go away. Yelling "you suck" on its own just isn't creative and we can do better, in my opinion.

Obviously there's a ton of passion related to this topic amongst folks on the board (and likely even among lurkers). Literally thousands of opinions.
My suggesion is this: given that we're in the offseason (despite basketball, hockey, recruiting, etc. things will still be relatively slow - and there's still plenty of time to impact the upcoming season) and have a potentially receptive Athletic Dept / head coach, I think Brian & co. could / should organize a formal survey on this topic to somewhat seriously see what the most passionate fans really want.
If it were curated properly and answers like (too expen$ive!!!) were not the focus, I think there could be some solid insight around what types of things are truly missed by fans - and at the minimum someone in the AD would take notice of the existence of the data set.

By OWEN MORRIS
A couple of weeks ago, taste-testers at The New York Times sampled 25 root beers. They included a lot of root beers that aren't available in the Kansas City area and, while I trust the Times that Abita is a good root beer, I'm not driving all the way to Louisiana just to find out.
So I rounded up four of my root beer-loving coworkers for a test of brews that can be found in normal Kansas City stores. After the jump are the results from worst to first, along with a quote that summed up the general consensus about each root beer.
10. Natural Brew (Whole Foods): "Oh that's shitty! Tastes like sweetened ice tea."
9. Virgil's (Whole Foods): "Jagermiesty. Horrible and chemical. Godawful."
8. Mug (Price Chopper): "Tastes like a diet root beer and not in a good way."
7. A&W (Quick Trip): "It's as bland as it gets but a comforting dull and blandness."
6. Lost Trail (Dean and Deluca): "Tastes like a banana split. Really lots of banana."
5. Jones (Price Chopper): "Too sweet, watery and flat."
3. (tie) Blue Sky (Whole Foods): "Nice sharp edge but did not care for the aftertaste."
3. (tie) Barqs (Price Chopper): "Bouncy and neat."
2. Sprechers (Price Chopper): "Clean and light but doesn't have an herb punch.
1. IBC (Hen House): "Crisp, rooty even flavor. Solid. Good."
A few extra notes: Natural Brew was the clear loser, drawing comparisons to cough syrup, flat Tab and sweetened ice tea. Three co-workers described Virgil's as "chemically," even though Virgil's is supposedly all natural and sweetened with cane sugar as opposed to corn syrup. The biggest disappointment was Sprechers, which was the Times ranked number one. Two of our reviewers called it "middle of the road" and, even though it came in second, it really didn't impress. IBC was winner by default, being the most even-tasting of the bunch.
None of the root beers delivered the sharp, powerful pow! we were hoping for. As one co-worker put it while trying his fifth sample: "Most of these just taste like root beer."

I haven't been able to see any noticeable differences in cut quality between various brands of cutting wheels.
I've been using the cheapest I can find for the most part. I've been using DeWalt discs here lately. Tractor Supply has them at $1.99 each, so I normally buy 10 at a time when I'm in there. I could probably find them even cheaper online.
I don't try to make the entire depth of the cut on the first swipe. I just slowly walk the disc down the mark letting the weight of the grinder do the work. The first pass is all about being on the line. Then I just do that 10 or 15 more times until through. I do my best to keep the wheel straight both ways. If you cock it left or right even a little bit, it makes for a wide cut, and the wheel will want to bind and/or jump around. After about halfway through something thick, I can cut forwards and backwards in the same cut pretty easily. I've gotten so proficient with the cutting wheel, that the plasma is gathering dust. Part of that is due to the fact that I need some consumables for it, but I haven't really been bothered to order any with the cuts I'm getting out of the little grinder. I hope this helps!

Chlorophyllins help promote overall body health.* By combining extracts from multiple sources, a unique product design is achieved—providing the body with a broad spectrum Chlorophyllin complex.
Chlorophyll is similar in structure to the hemoglobin molecule found in human blood.
Within the plant, it performs multiple metabolic functions including
respiration and growth.
It is normal and expected with natural extracts and ingredients some settling may occur.
Note: Protect surfaces as Bio-Chlor will stain. If contact occurs, rinse with water immediately and dry.

Health Benefits of Bio-Chlor® Chlorophyll & Body Conditioner Formula
Nature's First Gift for Wellness
Since the beginning of time, chlorophyll has been a symbol of life. Before man discovered fire or learned to hunt animals, he ate green plants. The "green" was chlorophyll, a substance responsible for absorbing and harnessing the energy of the sun involved in photosynthesis.
Chlorophyll in plants performs metabolic functions such as respiration and growth. Interestingly, the chlorophyll molecule is chemically similar to human blood, except that its central atom is magnesium. In humans, this central atom is iron.
Liquid chlorophyll is highly valued for its ability to improve blood oxygenation and help cleanse the body, especially the liver and blood.*
As nature's first gift, chlorophyll continues to nourish and promote wellness.*
Eniva's Liquid Chlorophyll is Paraben Free!
Until now, parabens (a family of synthetic cosmetic and food preservatives) were considered among those preservatives with low systemic toxicity, primarily causing allergic reactions. However, researchers' understanding of this class of synthetic preservatives is now changing in light of new clinical evidence in relation to the female hormone estrogen. Researchers from the Department of Biology & Biochemistry, Brunel University, Uxbridge, Middlesex, England, have found that the parabens, namely methyl-, ethyl-, propyl- and butylparaben, are estrogenic. This means they have a hormone like activity on tissues sensitive to estrogen - primarily uterine and breast tissues.
The recently discovered estrogenic effects of certain synthetic chemicals, such as parabens, and their subsequent effects on the endocrine system of humans and wildlife, is of growing concern-especially in relation to women's risk for breast cancer. Reproductive abnormalities in young boys exposed to such chemicals either prior to puberty or as fetuses also may increase risks for undescended testicles, testicular cancer, sperm abnormalities and prostate disorders.
Be assured that Eniva Liquid chlorophyll is paraben free, using natural compounds for preservation.

Big sound to fill the hall.
The New Orleans Model trombone was designed to provide musicians with huge, powerful sound. This instrument was conceptualized with input from Big Sam Williams of Big Sam's Funky Nation and Gregory Veils of the Grammy winning ReBirth Brass Band, two New Orleans-based musicians whose powerful playing abilities require equipment that can fill a large venue.
This instrument is the largest option in BAC's Jazz trombone category. The wide (.525") Nickel slide provides great flexibility and presence. The NOLA Model is ideal for a musicians needing a powerful medium bore horn. This instrument would be considered a medium-heavy weight trombone, which enhances the carrying power. The brush finish and hand-engraved bell provide a stunning, attention-grabbing look. The specially formulated thin lacquer facilitates the responsive and vibrant characteristics of an unlacquered instrument while still serving as protection for the attractive aesthetics.

The victory that rescued Frederick and his Prussian Army from 'a fix'.
Date: 30th September 1745.
Place: In the North East corner of Bohemia near to the Silesian border.
War: The Second Silesian War.
General Nadasty's Hungarian Hussars attacking the Prussian camp during the Battle of Soor: picture by David Morier.
Contestants: Prussians against an army of Austrians and Saxons.
Generals: King Frederick II of Prussia commanding the Prussian Army against Prince Charles of Lorraine, the brother of the Empress Maria Theresa, commanding the Austrian and Saxon Army.
Size of the Armies: 22,500 Prussians (16,700 infantry and 5,800 cavalry) against 40,200 Austrians and Saxons (23,500 infantry, 12,700 cavalry, and 4,000 irregular troops).
Map of the Battle of Soor by John Fawkes:
available to buy as a high quality Giclee print 430 x 330mm
Winner: The Prussians.
Uniforms and equipment: The Prussian infantry and artillery wore a dark blue coat turned back at the lapels, cuffs and skirts, britches and white thigh length gaiters. From cross belts hung an ammunition pouch, bayonet and 'hanger' or small sword. Headgear for the line companies was the tricorne hat with the receding front corner bound with white lace. Grenadiers wore the distinctive mitre cap with the brass plate at the front. Fusilier Infantry Regiments and gunners wore the smaller version of the grenadier cap.
The infantry carried the musket as their main weapon. The single shot musket could be loaded and fired by a well trained soldier between 3 and 4 times a minute. During the course of his wars Frederick introduced the iron ramrod and then the reversible ramrod which increased the efficiency of his infantry, the wooden ramrod being liable to break in the stress of battle.
The Prussian infantry regiment was based on the cantonment, with soldier joining their local regiment. Soldiers were released for key agricultural times such as sewing and harvesting. In the autumn reviews were conducted of all regiments to check that each regiment was up to the required standard. Each year certain regiments were selected to conduct the review at Potsdam under the eye of the King. Officers whose soldiers were considered by Frederick not to be of a sufficient standard were subjected to a public tongue lashing and in extreme cases dismissed on the spot.
The efficiency of the Prussian regiments at drill enabled them to move around the battlefield with a speed and manoeuvrability that no other European Army could equal.
Heavy cavalry of the period comprised cuirassiers, whose troopers wore steel breastplates, and dragoons. The main form of light cavalry were the regiments of hussars. The Austrian hussars were Hungarian and the genuine article while the hussars of other armies were given the same dress as Hungarian hussars and expected to perform to similar standards.
The Prussian cuirassiers wore a white coat, steel cuirass, white britches and thigh boots. The headgear was the tricorne hat. Dragoons wore a light blue coat.
Weapons were a heavy cavalry sword and single shot flintlock carbine.
The light cavalry arm was provided by the Prussian Hussar regiments. Frederick found the Prussian Hussars as inadequate for their role as the heavy cavalry regiments. Following Mollwitz and in particular after the First Silesian War the hussars were re-organised and re-trained to provide a first class scouting and light cavalry service. Frederick found in Colonel von Zieten the ideal officer to implement the improvements in the hussar regiments. The Prussian Hussars wore the traditional hussar dress worn by the original Hungarian Hussars of tunic, britches, dolman (slung jacket), busby (fur hat) with bag, sabretache (leather wallet on straps) and curved sword.
The Austrian infantry wore white coats with lapels, cuffs and skirts turned back showing the regimental lining colour. Headgear was the tricorne hat for line infantry and bearskin cap for grenadiers. The infantry weapons were musket, bayonet and hanger small sword. Heavy cavalry wore white coats and hats as for the infantry and were armed with a heavy sword and carbine. The Austrian army contained a large number of irregular units such as the Pandours from the Balkans who wore their ethnic dress without uniformity. Hungarian Hussars provided the light cavalry arm. These Hussars were dressed as described for the Prussian Hussars, were considered to be little more than bandits but were highly effective in all the roles required of light cavalry.
Banalist and Pandour from the Corps of Colonel Trenck. Picture by David Morier.
The artillery of each army was equipped with a range of muzzle loading guns. The Prussian Artillery was considerably more efficient at manoeuvring on the battle field. In the changes implemented by Frederick after the First Silesian War horse artillery was introduced to support the Prussian cavalry.
The Prussian Army and State of the middle of the 18th Century owed its strength to the father of Frederick the Great, King Frederick William, the 'Soldier King'. The Kingdom of Prussia comprised a number of areas scattered across Northern Germany from Minden and the tiny provinces of Jules and Berg in the West to the more compact provinces of Pomerania and East Prussia on the Baltic coast in the East. The capital of Prussia lay in the City of Berlin in the heartland of Brandenburg. During his reign Frederick William established an efficient civil state with the primary duty of supporting a large and well organised army, the bedrock of which was the Prussian Infantry. The noble families of Prussia were required to commit their sons to the army's officer corps. Unlike the military nobility in other European states the Prussian Officer Corps was expected to devote its energies to learning its fighting trade. Regiments were reviewed on an annual basis by the King and woe betide the officers of any regiment that fell below the required standard of drill and performance.
The Prussian Army established the technique of battlefield drill in the era of the musket. Prussian Infantry regiments could be trusted to move around the battlefield in order and at speed in a way that no other army could. Frederick the Great, while undoubtedly owing a great deal to the work his father had carried out on the army and state, brought his own unique talents to bear in improving the infantry and forging formidable assets out of the arms his father had neglected; principally the cavalry and the artillery, after the dismal performance of the Prussian cavalry at Mollwitz.
Frederick William had a reverence for the established order in Europe, holding the Emperor of Austria in particular awe. He would not have dreamt of launching Prussia on the extraordinary series of wars Frederick the Great began in 1741 by invading the Austrian province of Silesia.
Frederick William died on 31st May 1740 and Frederick II took the throne of the Kingdom of Prussia. On 20th October 1740 the Emperor Charles VI of Austria died leaving the imperial throne to his daughter Maria Theresa. Frederick resolved to seize the Austrian province of Silesia for Prussia.
Prosperous and partly Protestant, Silesia lay on the southern Prussian border along the banks of the river Oder. With its population of 1.5 million Frederick saw Silesia as a significant addition to the Prussian state with its 2.2 million inhabitants. But Frederick would have to fight 3 wars over 22 years with the Austro-Hungarian Empire for his prize.
In the First Silesian War (1740 to 1742) Frederick the Great fought the successful battles of Mollwitz and Chotusitz before negotiating the Treaty of Breslau in 1742.
In 1744 Frederick re-entered the war by invading Bohemia. After a disappointing campaign which saw the Prussian Army forced to retreat into Silesia, Frederick lured Prince Charles of Lorraine's Austro-Saxon Army out of the hills and beat it in the iconic victory of Hohenfriedburg.
In the follow up to Hohenfriedburg Frederick again invaded Bohemia. September 1745 saw the Prussian Army retreating and encamped near the Bohemian village of Burkersdorf on the edge of the extensive Königreich-Wald (Forest) near to the Silesian border. Frederick planned to return to Berlin for the winter to inspect the building work on his new palace of Sans Souci as he reflected in wistful letters to his valet, Fredersdorf. The Austrians had other ideas.
During the course of 29th September 1745 Prince Charles led his troops through the wooded hills of the Königreich-Wald around the flank of the Prussian camp. In the misty early hours of 30th September 1745 the Austrian and Saxon regiments took post on the hills overlooking Burkersdorf and the Prussians encamped beyond the village.
In the valley Prussian piquets hurried to report the presence of the Austrians to Frederick who, at 5am, was holding an early morning meeting with his generals. Frederick mounted and hurried along the Prussian lines to investigate the alarming report. In each regiment the drummers and trumpets beat and sounded the general alarm. The infantry fell in and the cavalry mounted. The Marquis de Valori, the French Envoy, was yet again struck by the initiative with which each regiment prepared itself for battle without specific orders.
The Battle of Soor: a contemporary print
With the lifting of the mist the Austrian guns on the Graner-Koppe, overlooking Burkersdorf, opened fire on the Prussian camp and the regiments now marching to engage them.
Frederick quickly formed his plan: a cavalry force would circle to the right of the Graner-Koppe and attack up the valley to the side of the hill encircling the Austrians and Saxons on the summit. As soon as possible an infantry assault would be launched on the summit of the Graner-Koppe. The remainder of the army would confront but not attack the Austrians and Saxons spread along the hill line to the South of Burkersdorf.
The Prussian cavalry heading to the valley had to pass the Graner-Koppe and submit to the bombardment from the Austrian guns on the summit. The regiments suffered significant casualties but pressed on. Clear of the fire of the guns the cavalry turned to the left and began the attack. The leading regiments of the Gens D'Armes and Buddenbrock's Cuirassiers headed up the valley, scaling the steep end incline at the gallop, and engaging the surprised and stationery Austrian cavalry regiments at its top. The Austrians were put to flight. Encountering the fire of the Austrian infantry the Prussian regiments wheeled and fell on the rear of the force on the brow of the Graner-Koppe, closely supported by the Garde du Corps and the additional Prussian cavalry regiments that were coming up behind.
In the meantime Prussian grenadiers and the Anhalt regiment, trained by the 'Old Dessauer' (Prinz Moritz of Anhalt-Dessau) himself, climbed the front of the Graner-Koppe and attacked the Austrian force established on the summit. In the face of heavy artillery fire and a strong infantry counter-attack the Prussian battalions were thrown back with substantial casualties. A second attack was launched comprising the Geist Grenadiers, the regiments of Blanckensee and La Motte and other veteran Prussian regiments. The confusion brought about by the first attack caused the Austrian batteries to be masked by their own infantry enabling the Prussian assault to be pressed home. The Austrians were driven from the summit.
The Prussian regiments holding the area south of Burkersdorf were directed to keep out of the fighting and provide a reserve for the Prussian assault on the Graner-Koppe, by their presence 'fixing' the Austrian right wing and preventing it from supporting the regiments of the Austrian left. This direction was ignored. A Prussian assault developed on Burkersdorf. A savage bayonet attack by the Prussian Guard led by Prince Ferdinand of Brunswick captured an Austrian battery and led to a general assault. The Austrian line collapsed and retreated in confusion. The Austrian cavalry of the right wing failed to support their colleagues and many of the infantry were captured by the cavalry regiments of the Prussian left wing.
By midday the battle was over and the Austrians and Saxons were melting away into the Königreich-Wald.
This time, unlike Hohenfriedburg, Frederick attempted to launch a pursuit. But his troops were having none of it. So far as they were concerned they had snatched a remarkable victory from potential disaster. They roared "Vivat Victoria" and took no notice of Frederick's cries of "Marsch".
Casualties: The Prussians suffered casualties of 856 dead and 3,055 wounded and missing. The Austrians and Saxons suffered 7,444 dead, wounded and missing. Among the Prussian officers killed was Prince Albrecht of Brunswick, the brother of the Queen of Prussia.
Aftermath: Frederick's army remained on the field of battle for 5 days to emphasise that the battle had been a Prussian victory and then withdrew into Silesia. In November 1745 Austrian resilience showed itself yet again as Prince Charles resumed the offensive with an invasion into Saxony heading for Brandenburg. In a campaign lasting less than a week Frederick outmanoeuvred the Austrians and brought this incursion to a halt, forcing Prince Charles' army back into Bohemia.
