A dedicated Young Corinthian agent, James Marlowe accepts the riskiest of missions—to go undercover as a traitor and infiltrate a deadly French crime organization. He is prepared for all matters of intrigue—everything but a surprise encounter with the only woman he has ever loved. Five years ago, the exquisitely stunning Clarissa Collins spurned James's love and broke his heart. Now the accomplished painter is in peril up to her lovely neck, and only he can protect her.
Lady Clarissa is being blackmailed by malicious men—but that is nothing compared to the torture of being so close to James, the enthralling man who seduced Clarissa, then betrayed her. Despite the hurt and misunderstanding that still simmer between them, their passion ignites anew. With their lives and England's safety hanging in the balance, they must work together to save everything they hold dear. Can Clarissa and James escape the enemy's clutches and find their way back to each other's hearts . . . this time forever?
A native Northwesterner with the pale skin to prove it, Stefanie Sloane credits her parents' eclectic reading habits—not to mention their decision to live in the middle of nowhere—for her love of books. A childhood spent lost in the pages of countless novels led Stefanie to college, where she majored in English. No one was more surprised than Stefanie when she actually put her degree to use and landed a job in Amazon.com's editorial department. She spent more than five years reading for a living before retiring to concentrate on her own stories. Stefanie Sloane lives with her family in Seattle.
"An engaging, refreshingly original storyteller."—Stephanie Laurens
"Stefanie Sloane writes utterly delectable and seductive Regency romance!"—Teresa Medeiros

Solution lies in prevention: experts
Investments in kids from before birth through kindergarten will stop cycle
The last two witnesses to testify at the Phoenix Sinclair inquiry said Thursday they know what to do to prevent children like her from falling through the cracks, but getting the public to believe it and buy in might take a long time.
"All of our futures are at stake," said Jan Sanderson, deputy minister of children and youth opportunities. "The way things are going is not sustainable."
Health care, corrections and child-welfare systems are stressed. The number of kids in care more than doubled in the decade that followed Phoenix's birth in 2000. There are now nearly 10,000 children in care in Manitoba, and more than 80 per cent are aboriginal. Government funding for child welfare has increased dramatically.
"Prevention is paramount," Sanderson, CEO of Healthy Child Manitoba, told inquiry commissioner Ted Hughes.
After Phoenix's gruesome death was discovered in 2006, the child-welfare system received more resources and attention.
The focus now has shifted from fixing the problem to preventing it.
"The good news is some of these investments early on will make a difference in all those systems," Sanderson said.
Phoenix was born to teenage dropouts who were on welfare. Samantha Kematch and Steve Sinclair were aboriginals who were foster kids born into abuse and neglect.
Before Phoenix was born, Kematch had a baby boy who was apprehended. She hid her pregnancy with Phoenix. Social workers noticed she wasn't attached to her baby girl. She and Sinclair had another daughter, then Kematch moved out, leaving Sinclair to take care of two children under two. The youngest, Echo, died of natural causes.
Sinclair struggled, and Phoenix was taken into care but then returned to him. Kematch went to get Phoenix when she was four and immediately arranged to collect additional welfare benefits. She and her boyfriend, Karl Wesley McKay, had two more children, and moved to Fisher River First Nation after Winnipeg social workers came around asking about Phoenix.
The couple killed Phoenix in the summer of 2005 after torturing her, yet continued to collect her welfare benefits until her death was discovered in 2006.
A provincial inquiry began in 2012 after several delays from legal challenges by unions, agencies and aboriginal leaders.
After 126 witnesses testified during 85 days of hearings, Sanderson held the public to account Thursday.
"No one wants to hear Phoenix's story again," she told the inquiry. "Each of us has a role. There's a shared responsibility."
There's an economic and social incentive to invest in children, she said.
"The very same investments also make excellent sense to the business sector because of the economic payback and sense to those concerned about social justice. Early-childhood development is the great equalizer -- in the next generation, possibly."
Investing in young, growing brains is the best course of action, said Rob Santos, a researcher with the Manitoba Centre for Health Policy.
"The early years matter enormously. They determine the foundation -- sturdy or fragile -- for what comes later. The biggest opportunity is those early years -- before a child is born, until they start school and kindergarten," said the psychologist, who testified while sitting next to Sanderson.
The environment has a big effect on brain development that's in hyperdrive during early childhood, he explained.
"Brain architecture is damaged by toxic stress," said Santos, noting there is visible damage to developing brains of kids in environments of poverty, addictions and violence.
Today, about one in four (or 4,000 babies a year) is born into toxic stress in Manitoba. For aboriginal babies born off reserve, it's about two out of three, or 2,000 a year.
"With an increasing number of stresses, there's a doubling to tripling of odds of those children having cardiac diseases as adults decades later," Santos said.
Poverty and social deprivation in the early years result in high rates of obesity, addictions and alcoholism as adults. Buffering or reducing toxic stress before a child starts school helps them learn, grow and have productive lives, he said.
"Think about the brain as adapting to the environment it is reared in," Santos explained.
A child born to poverty, used to chaos, hunger and violence, is going to have trouble in safe environments such as school and work.
"The difficulty is when the child's brain is adapted to a predatory, threatening environment," said Santos. "They interpret facial expressions differently -- they have different ways of processing social information."
Investments in parenting and maternal programs to nurture their brain development are proven to result in the biggest bang for the taxpayer's buck -- but the returns aren't instantaneous, the inquiry heard.
"It's pay now or pay later," said Sanderson.

The last thing I played at PAX earlier this month was Due Process, a tactical FPS in development by Seattle-based Giant Enemy Crab. Though it's very much in a primordial state (pre-alpha, by the dev team's description), Due Process ended up as one of my highlights from the show simply because it's exciting to see an indie team explore a genre that's typically reserved for big studios.
We shot a lot of videos at PAX Prime. Everyone we talked to at the show signed a gaming laptop that we promised to give away soon after we got back from Seattle, and that time is now.
We got our first significant look at Firewatch last weekend at PAX. I spoke to Jake Rodkin and Chris Remo shortly after Campo Santo's panel.
It's The PC Gamer Show! In episode five, Evan and Tyler dive into the mayhem of PAX Prime to to talk to some of our favorite developers (Chris Roberts! Tim Schafer!) and play some of the PC's most exciting games.
A few years ago, we invited PC Gamer's tech guru Adam Oxford into a giant changing room to film a short piece about building a new PC.
We interviewed a lot of different developers last week at PAX Prime. But there was only one question we asked them all: "What do you love about PC gaming?"
At first, Massive Chalice seems like a competent, post-XCOM, fantasy turn-based strategy game. That, on its own, wouldn't get me excited (especially since I always prefer lasers to swords), but Massive Chalice innovates on the parts of XCOM that got me hooked: my emotional and strategic investment in the characters I trained, equipped, and sent on missions. It raises the stakes with an
Last weekend, I sat down with 17-BIT CEO/Creative Director/Art Director Jake Kazdal at PAX Prime to see Galak-Z, a top-down space combat game with procedurally-generated levels, Newtonian physics (think Asteroids), and anime-inspired animation.
You call your game Swordy and you have my attention, my interest, and Gimli's axe, the heroic dwarf not quite understanding that it's primarily a game about enormous swords. As shown at PAX, Swordy is a top-down local multiplayer thing where you hit your friends in the face until they explode in a shower of chunky pixels. The only caveat is that you have to do that in the game, rather in real
Do you have room in your life for another MMORPG? Trion Worlds are rather banking on you saying 'yes', as they're bringing Korean-developed MMO ArcheAge to Europe and North America on the 16th of September. There's also an open beta due tomorrow at 10:00AM PDT; sign up here if the "sandpark" MMO takes your fancy (I'll explain what the hell that means after the break).
Evan, Tyler, and PC Gamer's intrepid video crew are home from PAX Prime, only moderately bruised from bouncing through the massive crowd that swarmed the Seattle convention center last weekend. Before we left, we used Instagram's new Hyperlapse app—which is pretty cool, and free—to create a high-speed video tour of the show. Watch this to see, very quickly, what it's like to navigate the oceans
It's a good sign when, at the end of a demo, everyone is already retelling the events of the match they just played. This was the case after my PAX demo of Gigantic, a free to play, 5-on-5, "Don't call me a MOBA" multiplayer game from Motiga.
In case you missed it: Obsidian are making a F2P game about tanks called Armored Warfare, and no, we didn't make that up. The game was briefly shown at E3 with a not-very-revealing trailer, but now 27 minutes of footage has appeared online, thanks a Twitch stream recorded at PAX.
You are probably at least peripherally aware of the furor that followed the release of the latest Tropes vs. Women in Videogames video, which got so bad that creator Anita Sarkeesian was actually compelled to leave her home because of threats made against her and her family. It's an appalling state of affairs by any measure, but while some gamers seem determined to prove that Sarkeesian is
Robert Yang analyses Gone Home and its similarities to Thief and other inhabitants of the mansion genre.
I sat through a hands-off demo of Rollercoaster Tycoon World at PAX this weekend, though to be honest I spent a good portion of my time talking to the Pipeworks dev team about the different ways you can torture park goers.
The Behemoth's fourth game doesn't have a name, but it does have hexes, co-op, and (seemingly) the narrator from Battleblock Theater, which Chris Thursten liked to the tune of 86%. It's being described by The Behemoth as a "turn-based co-op adventure", though that hardly sells the wit, exuberance and charm apparent in the first, 44-second-long trailer. See the first glimpse of Game 4 after the

Quality Makes the Difference
Fifty years after the introduction of CPR, we clearly know that immediate, uninterrupted and properly performed CPR saves lives. We know how to do CPR; now we must close the gap between knowing how to do CPR and the way we actually perform CPR. Providers now have more opportunity than ever to improve survival from sudden cardiac arrest. The focus must shift from "Do CPR" to "Do CPR right."

Wires. Sometimes, they just get in the way, especially when working on a professional video production. Snaking hundreds of feet of cable around a shooting location can make it difficult for camera operators to move around, can be incredibly messy, and sometimes wires and cables can make capturing the shot you need incredibly difficult or even impossible.

AAPL shares close up 8 percent
If you bought Apple at its lowest low yesterday, for just over a hundred bucks a share, you'd have made $13 per share back today. That doesn't cover your loss, of course, if you bought at its 52-week highs of just over $200 per share, but if you were a smart shopper yesterday, you got a heck of a deal.
Goldman Sachs analyst David Bailey said that the yesterday's price drop was "overdone" and reiterated his "buy" rating and $200 price target. Citi analyst Richard Gardner also recommended buying, but cut his price target to $170 per share.
"The recent sell off creates an opportunity as we think Apple will outperform our group through the end of the year, driven by iPhone unit upside and a strong product pipeline," said Bailey.
AAPL closed today at 113.71, up 8.45 points, or eight percent from its close yesterday.

Scott Jarvie+121 Reply So what do we think? We like these photoshoot recap style of videos?I do enjoy making them and I'm willing to share them.
Shannon S. Myers+010 Reply I like it Scott..... it is a nice way to see a fast synopsis of a photoshoot and get an idea of your process, thanks.
Swaroop Subbanna+010 Reply Cool video. Just checked it out without your audio commentary. It is like a stop motion video of what happened that day. I need to check out one of your workflow videos again some time :)
Scott Jarvie+121 Reply +Swaroop Subbanna haha yep it'd be a stop motion without the commentary... still awesome.I have a workflow video of that same photoshoot listed in the video details.
Rose Le+010 Reply Great idea! I always love seeing your photos, and being able to see your pictures as soon as you are done with a photo shoot makes it seems like I am there! LolI love the mom in red doing surprise appearance throughout the shoots. My favourite is the Engagement photos where they are in front of a red brick building and he's coming closer and closer to her. The stop motion of that was perfect.
Scott Jarvie+010 Reply +Rose Le awesome! Thanks for the input.And yes some of my ideas during these shoots really do play out well when put to video as a stop motion. For the pictures they'd always just helped to make them feel like they're doing something besides just posing.
Justin Virly+010 Reply I love that you do this. As we've discussed before, my girlfriend and I are huge fans of your photos and although flying you to Australia for our wedding may not be in our means, you definitely give us a wealth of ideas regarding dress/suit style, locations and of course quality photography.
Scott Jarvie+121 Reply +Justin V well if it makes a difference I don't charge extra no matter the location. $5500 us anywhere.In any case thanks for the kind words. I like knowing people are watching :)

Coventry City F.C.
Full name | Coventry City Football Club | ||
Nickname(s) | The Sky Blues | ||
Founded | 13 August 1883 (as Singers F.C.)[1] |
Ground | Ricoh Arena, Coventry | ||
Capacity | 32,609 | ||
Owner | Otium Entertainment Group | ||
Chairman | Tim Fisher | ||
Manager | Tony Mowbray | ||
League | League One | ||
2013–14 | League One, 18th | ||
Coventry City F.C. is an English association football club based in Coventry in the West Midlands. The team competes in League One, the third tier of the English football league system. Nicknamed the Sky Blues owing to the colour of their strip, Coventry City were formed in 1883 as Singers F.C., and they joined the Football League in 1919. Their only major trophy was won in 1987 when they beat Tottenham Hotspur 3–2 to win the FA Cup in a match listed by the FA as one of the twelve classic FA Cup Finals,[2] and they are one of only five clubs to have ever won the FA Cup and FA Youth Cup 'double' in the same season. They also reached two Football League Cup semi-finals, in 1981 and 1990.
The club was an inaugural member of the Premier League in 1992 and had spent an impressive 34 consecutive seasons in the English top flight prior to their relegation in 2001. Following eleven seasons in the second-tier Football League Championship without any significant success, Coventry were relegated to Football League One in 2012, the first time in 48 years that the club played in the English league system's third tier.
Coventry has only qualified for European competition once, during the 1970–71 season, when they competed in the European Inter-Cities Fairs Cup (now the UEFA Europa League), reaching the second round. Despite beating Bayern Munich 2–1 in their home leg, they lost heavily in the away leg to go out of the competition. They were unable to compete in the 1987–88 UEFA Cup Winner's Cup due to the ban on English clubs at that time.
From 1899 to 2005, Coventry City played at the Highfield Road stadium. In 1981 it became the first all-seater stadium in English football, though by the late-1990s the club's directors decided it was time to construct a larger stadium and chose a site in the Rowley's Green area of the city. The 32,609 capacity Ricoh Arena was opened in August 2005, but following a rent dispute with the ground's owners the club opted to play their home games at Northampton Town's Sixfields Stadium starting in the 2013–14 season. A return to the Ricoh Arena was announced on 21 August 2014 by the club after a one-year absence.

- 1899 – The club move to Highfield Road following stints at Dowells Field and Stoke Road.
- 1901 – The club suffer their worst ever defeat with an 11–2 loss against Worcester-based Berwick Rangers in the qualifying round of the FA Cup.[3]
- 1919 – The club are voted into the Football League, where they have remained ever since.
- 1928 – In February, and with Coventry struggling near the foot of Division Three South, the club's worst ever attendance is recorded. Only 2,059 turn up for the match against Crystal Palace.
- 1932 – Centre-forward Clarrie Bourton heads the Football League scoring lists with 49 goals. The following season he scored 40 goals.
- 1934 – City record their biggest ever victory a 9–0 league drubbing of Bristol City.
- 1936 – Coventry City win the Third Division South championship after a nail-biting final day 2–1 victory over Torquay United and return to Division Two after eleven years in the lower division.
- 1958 – Goalkeeper Alf Wood becomes the oldest player to start a game for the club, which this year was a founding member of Division Four (now Football League Two). He played against Plymouth Argyle in the FA Cup aged 43 years and 207 days.
- 1961 – Former Fulham player and PFA chairman Jimmy Hill is appointed manager following an embarrassing FA Cup defeat at home to non-league King's Lynn.
- 1964 – Jimmy Hill guides Coventry to promotion from Division Three as champions after a final day 1–0 victory over Colchester United.
- 1967 – Coventry City promoted as Second Division champions to the top flight for the first time in their history. This made manager and BBC Sport presenter Jimmy Hill a legend at the club. Coventry's record attendance was also set in this year – officially recorded as 51,455, (although many people who were at that game suggest the attendance was a lot higher, possibly much over 60,000) against Wolverhampton Wanderers, the team that finished a close second to Coventry at the top of the table.
- 1969-70 – Under Noel Cantwell, Coventry finish 6th in the First Division, their highest League placing.
- 1970 – Coventry qualified for the European Fairs Cup but lost 7–3 on aggregate in the second round to Bayern Munich, despite winning the second leg 2–1 at Highfield Road.
- 1977 – Coventry City escaped relegation after drawing with Bristol City who also escaped relegation. The result of this game relegated Sunderland, which has caused many disuputes over the outcome of the match due to the result of the Sunderland game being relayed to Coventry City and Bristol City players for the remainder of the game.
- 1978 – The strike partnership of Ian Wallace and Mick Ferguson helped the Sky Blues finish in seventh position in the First Division, their second-highest ever final league placing, but fractionally missing out on a UEFA Cup place.
- 1981 – The club reaches the League Cup semi-final but are denied their first Wembley appearance by West Ham United, despite being 2–1 ahead after the first leg. Highfield Road becomes England's first all-seater stadium.

- 1990 – Coventry reached the League Cup semi-final for the second time, but were defeated by eventual winners Nottingham Forest.
- 1998 – The club reached the FA Cup quarter-final but were denied a semi-final appearance as Sheffield United (a division below them) won the replay at Bramall Lane on penalties.

Dion Dublin earned the top scorer award, the only one for the club and the second of two players for clubs which never made the top three in the League.
- 2001 – Coventry relegated from the Premier League after 34 years in the first tier. At the time, only Liverpool, Everton and Arsenal could boast longer tenures in the top flight.

- 2005 – Coventry relocated to the 32,609 seater Ricoh Arena after 106 years at Highfield Road. The club's last game at Highfield Road stadium results in a 6–2 win over Midlands rivals Derby County in front of a sell-out 23,000 crowd.
- 2007 – Coventry narrowly avoided administration when Ray Ranson and hedge fund managers SISU took over the club with twenty minutes to spare.

- 2012 – Coventry are relegated to League One, the third tier in English Football, for the first time in 48 years
- 2013 – The club owners, SISU, place a non-operating subsidiary of the club, which owns no financial assets and has no employee on or off the pitch, into administration.[6] The club moved all staff out of the Ricoh Arena and the administrator accepted a bid from the Otium Entertainment Group, a company registered by three ex-Sky Blues directors Ken Dulieu, Onye Igwe and Leonard Brody.[7] The club agrees to play future home matches at Sixfields Stadium, Northampton. Following two adjournments a creditors meeting in August rejected a Company Voluntary Arrangement put forward by the administrator.[8][9][10]
- 2014 – The club return to the Ricoh Arena.[11]
Playing kit[edit]
Coventry's home shirts are now always sky blue. However this hasn't always been the case. During the 1880s and 1890s, the club used black and red. Sky blue was first used by Coventry in 1898, the sky blue theme was then used until 1922. The colour made its return in 1962 thanks to the then manager, Jimmy Hill. In the 2008–09 season, Coventry used sky blue and white stripes, a design that was used three times that decade. This is a contrast to the late-1990s where sky blue and navy stripes were chosen three times. To mark the 125th year of the club, Coventry wore a special brown shirt in the last home game of the 2008–09 season against Watford having first worn a chocolate brown kit in 1978. This kit is often cited as the worst in English football history.[12]
In 2012, against Southampton in the FA Cup, they wore a commemorative blue and white striped kit to mark the 25th anniversary of the club winning the FA Cup in 1987.[13] The strip was worn again in January 2013 for Coventry's 3rd round FA Cup fixture with Tottenham Hotspur, whom they beat in the 1987 final.[14]

106 years at Highfield Road[edit]
Coventry City began playing at the Highfield Road stadium in 1899 within the Hillfields district of the city, although the club did not buy the freehold to the site until 1937. The record crowd at the ground was on 29 April 1967 when 51,455 watched the Second Division title decider against Wolverhampton Wanderers. This was more than 6,000 more than the previous record set against Aston Villa in 1938. Many people who were at that game suggest the attendance was a lot higher, possibly over 60,000. Supporters climbed onto the roofs of the stands and up the floodlights. The ground had an interesting history. In 1940 the main stand which backed onto terraced houses in Mowbray Street was bombed by the Luftwaffe, heavy turnstiles from the ground and gas meters from houses in Mowbray Street were discovered in Gosford Park, some 500 metres away. In 1968, the main stand burnt down and its replacement was built within four months.
In 1981, Highfield Road was converted into England's first ever all-seater stadium with a capacity of around 24,500, which many criticised as killing the atmosphere of the ground. Some seats were removed a few years later.[15] It had been gradually upgraded since then, with the final phase of work being completed in the mid-1990s, including two fully enclosed corners, providing some much-needed modernity. On 30 April 2005, the final game played at the stadium was against Midlands rivals Derby County; Coventry won with a scintillating 6–2 scoreline.[16] The stadium was subsequently demolished and replaced by a housing development.
Relocating to the Ricoh Arena[edit]
For the 2005–06 season, Coventry City moved to the new 32,609-capacity Ricoh Arena after 106 years at Highfield Road.[1][17] In 1998, the club had decided that it was time to relocate to a new stadium in the Rowleys Green area of the city, three-and-a-half miles north of the city centre and close to junction 3 of the M6 motorway. The original plan was for a state-of-the-art, 45,000-seater multipurpose stadium with removable pitch and retractable roof. It was due to be ready for the 2001–02 season and was touted to be one of the finest and most advanced stadiums in Europe. However, the club's subsequent relegation, financial problems, financier/contractor withdrawals and England's failure to secure the 2006 World Cup competition led to a radical redesign. The resulting stadium was built to a standard bowl design with steep stands, in line with several other new stadia built during that period, though it has excellent acoustics and has been used to host several major rock concerts.
Despite initiating the project and being the principal attraction there, Coventry City's financial situation means that they no longer own the stadium and must pay rent to use it; this could appear to raise concerns over the managing of the club's finances by previous club officials, as in 2001 the club were the fourth-longest serving club in the top flight of English football. The stadium naming rights were originally sold to Jaguar Cars, which has strong links with Coventry. Jaguar pulled out of the project on 16 December 2004 and a new major sponsor was needed. A £10 million deal, which included naming rights, was signed and electronics manufacturer Ricoh became the new chief sponsor for the stadium. The project was funded largely by Coventry City Council and the (Alan Edward) Higgs Charity (of which former CCFC and ACL director the late Sir Derek Higgs was a trustee), and includes shopping facilities, a casino, exhibition halls and a concert venue.
At the beginning of the 2005–06 season, construction delays at the ground forced Coventry City to play their first three games of the season away and postpone their home games. On Saturday 20 August 2005, City hosted Queens Park Rangers in the first-ever game at the Ricoh Arena; Coventry won the game 3–0. On 28 July 2011, a statue of Jimmy Hill was installed at the main entrance to the Ricoh Arena, with Hill appearing in person to unveil it.[18]
2013 rent row and ground relocation[edit]
On 3 May 2013, Coventry City put a contingency plan in place to play elsewhere for the 2013–14 season due to ACL (Arena Coventry Limited), who manage the stadium, not being willing to negotiate with the club to agree a new lease. However, this has led to the local newspaper, the Coventry Telegraph, starting a petition in order to try stopping Coventry City from playing outside of Coventry and has been sent to all 72 clubs in the Football League and also the Football League chairman. In May 2013, managing director Tim Fisher set a plan of building a new stadium within the city over the next three years and ground-sharing whilst the new ground is being built.[19] In June 2013, ACL made an offer that Coventry City F.C. could play at the Ricoh Arena rent free while the club was in administration.[20]
It was believed that Coventry City might ground-share with Walsall at the Bescot Stadium or attempt to stay at the Ricoh Arena,[21] following the appointment of new owners.[22] However, by July 2013, the Walsall rumours were denied and since then the club has groundshared at Northampton Town's Sixfields Stadium – a ground that has less than one quarter the capacity of the Ricoh Arena and a round-trip of 70 miles. This was due to continue until at least 2016.[23][24] Plans for the club to play their home matches outside of the city were met with strong opposition and protests by Coventry fans.[25] Member of parliament for Coventry South, Jim Cunningham, described the move as "a disgrace".[26]
Ricoh return[edit]
On 21 August 2014 it was announced an agreement had been reached allowing the club to return to the Ricoh Arena for the next two years with the option of another two years. Coventry City's first home game at the Ricoh Arena was played against Gillingham on 5 September 2014. Steve Waggott, who led the negotiations for the club said "We are delighted to get this deal done and I am sure every supporter of Coventry City will be thrilled with the news".[11] City won their first match back at the Ricoh Arena 1–0 with Frank Nouble scoring the only goal of the match in front of more than 27,500 supporters.
Former Players' Association[edit]
In February 2007 a Former Players' Association was launched. Set up by club historian and statistician Jim Brown, former 1980s player Kirk Stephens and a committee of volunteers, its aim was to bring former players of the club together and cherish their memories. To qualify for membership players have to have made at least one first team competitive appearance for the club or been a manager.
Around 50 former stars of the club attended the launch including Coventry City legends George Hudson, Cyrille Regis, Charlie Timmins and Bill Glazier. The association's first newsletter was published in autumn 2007 and a website launched. The launch of 2007 was followed by subsequent Legends' Days. The 2009 event, held at the home game against Doncaster Rovers was attended by 43 former players including the first visit to Coventry for many years of Roy Barry and Dave Clements. In March 2012 the membership had increased past the 200 mark with former captain Terry Yorath inducted as the 200th member at the 2012 Legends' Day.[citation needed]
Sky Blue Trust[edit]
The Sky Blue Trust is a supporters' trust for Coventry City F.C.; it was originally founded in 2003 as part of a national initiative under the auspices of the umbrella group, Supporters Direct. The Sky Blue Trust, like trusts at other clubs, is a legally based, independent, democratic supporters' group with membership open to all. One of the Sky Blue Trust's greatest achievements was raising funds to save the football club's Youth Academy which was threatened with closure.[citation needed] By 2009/2010, however, the trust had become moribund.[27] Given the on-going financial uncertainty at Coventry City, the trust was re-launched in the summer of 2012.[27][28] A new board for the trust was elected and from having less than 20 members the trust grew to over 700 within three months.[citation needed] The key aim of the Sky Blue Trust is to obtain a financial stake in Coventry City F.C. and have at least one democratically elected trust member on the club's board, meaning that supporters have a direct say in the running of the club.[29][30][31]
'SISU Out' protesters[edit]
In August 2011, after Coventry City fans became tired of cost-cutting by SISU, Coventry fans started to protest for the removal of SISU. Protests took place at the Jimmy Hill Statue at the Ricoh Arena before games but limited numbers turned out. However after these games the number of protesters grew and so did the number of banners. After protesting near the rear entrance, the fans moved into the lobby and start chanting "SISU OUT" at which point a large number of "security response guards" moved in to remove the protesters.[32]
Sky Blue anthem[edit]
The words to the club's song were written in 1962 by Team Manager Jimmy Hill and Director John Camkin; The words being set to the tune of the Eton Boating Song.[33] It was launched at the home game with Colchester on 22 December 1962 (a match abandoned at half-time because of fog) with the words printed in the programme.[33] It quickly became popular with supporters during the epic FA Cup run in 1963 when the then Third Division team reached the quarter-finals of the FA Cup before losing to eventual winners Manchester United:
- Let's all sing together
- Play up, Sky Blues
- While we sing together
- They will never lose
- Proud Posh or Cobblers
- Oysters or anyone
- They shan't defeat them
- They'll fight 'til the game is won!
- City! City! City!
Current Words:
- Lets all sing together
- Play up, Sky Blues
- While we sing together
- We will never lose
- Tottenham or Chelsea
- United or anyone
- They shan't defeat us
- We'll fight 'til the game is won!
- City! City! City!
As of 2012, Coventry fans consider Leicester City, with whom they contest the M69 derby to be their main rivals. Aston Villa are the club's traditional rivals but in recent years this has become somewhat one-sided rivalry as the latter have several stronger local rivalries. A lesser rivalry also exists with Birmingham City.[34] After being relegated from the Championship in 2012, fellow West Midlanders Walsall were regarded as their main League One rivals.

Picnic will have to wait
Walking in the woods on the weekend and thinking that it's almost winter picnic time...
...and then came upon the picnic table and plastic chairs. Uh...think we'll have to wait a bit, eh?

SPCA Cupcake Day
Monday is the fundraising day for the SPCA with their National Cupcake Day.
I decided to do pups, like I did last year and a dozen Grumpy Cats. Luckily,
is selling these plus a bunch of other folks' baking at the courthouse in Cornwall and hopes to raise some bucks for our friends at the SPCA.

Snow Daze
Fun in the cold weather? Richard got all dressed up and spent two days cutting dead trees...and loving it
Meanwhile, other critters wanted in! Feed me now this squirrel was yelling.
So...I put some seeds out for him on my board. It snowed a bit but this clever fellow knew exactly where to dig.
Cold and sunny days bring out my two starlings, that I've named Heckle and Jeckle. The real Heckle and Jeckle were magpies...but these two hang around together and could likely get themselves into some trouble if they tried!

Fun Valentine's Night
Richard and I enjoyed a night out last night for Valentine's. A dessert night was put on at our local cafe, where all the dessert choices (11 of them!) were made by local teens and served by teens too.
Of the 11 choices, you were allowed to pick three. We shared a bunch too so we got to taste almost everything. Here were some of the standouts!
Top: Chocolate truffles. Pavlova. Middle: Lemon curd tart. Stack of brownies with salted caramel drizzle. Bottom: Caramel pot de creme. Savoury cheese platter.
A lovely evening, we were also serenaded by teens playing violin and cello. What fun.

Your KISS is on my list
Every now and again you get a challenge that really works out. My friend Chantal was celebrating her 40th birthday and her husband asked me to do a cake for her. He said, "A kiss cake." Since her birthday is on Valentine's Day I said, "Like lips?" He said, "No, the group KISS. She's a huge fan!" I had some fun getting this graphic image of Gene Simmons, 3-D fondant tongue too on the cake. And silver dragees, placed one by one, on the KISS logo turned out great I think.

Trees and Spaceman cakes
I was asked to do a cake for an environmental scientist. His partner asked for an evergreen tree and a little light bulb went off when I realized that the logo for his environmental services company was in fact a tree! I blew it up, cut it out of fondant and placed it on a background inspired by the late great Canadian artist Ted Harrison.
My friend Dave loves toy robots so when his wife asked me to make a cake for a gathering to celebrate his 60th birthday I decided that no ordinary robot would do. I thought back to a story Dave told me about his best-ever yard sale find. He poked around at a table and came across a Fighting Space Man toy, still in its original box. Cost? The same as it went for 40 years before. $2 (I think). At any rate, he took it home, plugged batteries into the space man and it worked!
I loved the story and decided to make him his very own Fighting Space Man cake with him as the spaceman. The box was chocolate cake with an edible label. Dave, the robot, was mostly made of fondant and M&Ms.

Winterizing your nest
While snowshoeing this weekend I came across this vacant nest. Funny how the snow piled up on it. It was only about 6" round, but somehow the well woven sticks and lichen nest managed to hold a great big pile of snow.

Snacktime inside and out
Last weekend was perfect for snowshoeing. I noticed tons of bunny prints under the spruce trees. Last week we had an ice rain for a few days and it knocked lots of spruce tips off the trees. The snowshoe rabbits had a nice buffet waiting for them.
Meanwhile, inside it was time to try out the new glass teapot I got over the holidays. Time to inaugurate it with the lotus tea blossom I bought in Japantown, while we were in San Francisco a few years back. So much fun watching it bloom. Lovely and nice tea too!

Jack, Jack and more Jack!
This sweet old boy's name is Jack and he visits me for about three weeks every winter when his parents go to Florida. He lives in Montreal but loves the country!
He's a big cuddle bug...and is pretty happy in his warm room with two beds and all amenities including a night snack and brushing.
I have a definite affinity to this boy...he showed up here years ago as a hungry kitten.
He was so cute and so tiny!
Happily, friends in Montreal adopted him and I'm lucky enough to get to see him on his yearly visits to the country.

A Day at the Museum
The National Gallery of Canada
is a marvellous place that I should get to more often.
This holiday season we made a point of heading there and seeing the Jack Bush show, the Escher show and the contemporary gallery too.
I loved this selfie of a Michael Snow selfie.
In the Contemporary Gallery, Richard pondered man's eternal quest for freedom...or was it just an exit sign?
I loved seeing Richard from my point of view in another gallery, framed by a Sol LeWitt.
Another selfie, this time with Sol LeWitt.
This amazing work by Geoffrey Farmer was mind boggling. Years of Life magazine cutouts. Very cool indeed.
We took a break in the cafe to rest and hydrate and admired the snow-less view outside and one of the silver sculptures reaching for the sky. Great day in Ottawa.
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year my blog-reading friends. Here's hoping that 2015 is happy and healthy for all.

We headed over to Montebello, QC to
, a chocolaterie and cchocolatemuseum housed in a former train station.
There's lots to see there including a few people making chocolate bunnies.
There's also a huge selection of chocolate types...Richard picked hemp and acai berry (!!) and one with no sugar and almonds.
The bee pollen chocolate caught my eye but I settled on a sea salt bar.
We also tried their incredibly delicious hot chocolate. A teeny tiny cup was enough. This stuff was rich and delicious.
It wasn't cold out or snowy, which is so odd for Dec. 28th, but the hot chocolate went down perfectly well, thanks very much.
Looking forward to a repeat visit to this place. Lots of fun and yummy too.

Polar bear gingerbread cookies with warm scarves...

Retirement cake
I made this cake for a co-worker who retired as a salesperson at our office. She was often on the road and returned with Post-It notes and clippings and all sorts of things in her folders. I thought it was a fun way to point out possible adventures to come and at the same time remind her of the chaos of working.
Happy retirement-- Bonne retraite Francine!

New Sheraton Hotel And Conference Center Slated To Open In McKinney, Texas
Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. (NYSE: HOT) today announced its Sheraton brand will expand its portfolio in the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area with a new hotel planned for McKinney, Texas. The City of McKinney and the McKinney Community Development Corporation (MCDC) are teaming up with Champ Hospitality and Beck Development to build the $38 million Sheraton McKinney Hotel at the corner of Highway 75 and the Sam Rayburn Tollway. The 186-room Sheraton will be McKinney's first upscale, full-service hotel and will be connected to a 20,000 square-foot events center, both slated to open in February 2015.
"I am excited about the prospect of renewing construction on the Gateway Hotel and Conference Center," said McKinney Mayor Brian Loughmiller. "As our City Council continues to focus on attracting business development to our community, the availability of meeting space and hotel accommodations for corporate clients, civic organizations and tourists will add to the marketability of our community as not only a great place to live, but a great place to do business as well."
Sheraton McKinney Hotel will feature the brand's signature Link@Sheraton SM experienced with Microsoft® – a relaxed space with complimentary wireless broadband where guests can socialize and connect with friends, both old and new. In addition, the hotel will offer a full-service restaurant and lounge, Sheraton Club Lounge, and a fitness facility featuring the brand's revolutionary new health and fitness program, Sheraton Fitness® by Core Performance™. All guestrooms and suites will be outfitted with the all-white Sheraton Sweet Sleeper® bed, designed to meet AAA's Five Diamond Award® criteria, as well as an oversized work desk, ergonomic chair, high-speed Internet, and LCD flat panel television.
"We look forward to introducing the Sheraton brand to McKinney, one of the fastest growing cities in the United States. After spending $6 billion to revitalize the brand, Sheraton is now in the midst of the largest growth spurt in its history, with $8 billion invested in new hotel developments over the next three years," said Allison Reid, Senior Vice President of North American Development for Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. "Sheraton McKinney Hotel will offer a stylish, comfortable and social atmosphere where guests can make connections and enjoy all the brand's recently enhanced signature services and amenities."

The only reason I give it a 3 is because of the talent and shows. I've gone to performances over the last 30 yrs. and the buffet menu is still the same. Food is average and the facility is in dire need of a major renovation from the carpet up. It is in a prime location and could be a real jewel with a little TLC.

Routine review of ascites fluid from patients with cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma is a low-yield procedure: An observational study Michael J Thrall1, Ellen J Giampoli2 1 Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, The Methodist Hospital, Houston, TX, USA2 Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, University of Rochester Medical Center, Rochester, NY, USA
Correspondence Address:Ellen J GiampoliDepartment of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, University of Rochester Medical Center, Rochester, NY USA© 2009 Thrall et al; licensee Cytopathology Foundation Inc.This is an open-access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0), which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.3DOI: 10.4103/1742-6413.54919PMID: 19680465
Background: Patients with cirrhosis develop ascites for physiologic reasons that are unrelated to malignant progression. However, physicians performing paracentesis in these patients, often send fluid to the cytology laboratory, sometimes specifically looking for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We have investigated the diagnostic yield of these specimens. Materials and Methods: A computerized pathology database search for all ascites fluid cases submitted to the cytology laboratory at a major liver transplant center between November 2004 and April 2008 was performed. Clinical history was obtained for each case. Patients with cirrhosis, with or without HCC, were included in the study. Cytologic diagnoses were compiled and follow-up information was obtained for cases with non-negative findings. Results: A total of 167 specimens from 133 patients ranging from 29 to 85 years of age (mean 56 years) were submitted over the said time period. The causes of cirrhosis included: alcohol - 44; Hepatitis C - 30; Hepatitis B - 6; non-alcoholic steatohepatitis - 7; cryptogenic - 18; other single causes - 6; and multifactorial (alcohol and hepatitis viruses) - 22. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) was present or strongly suspected in 17 patients and had been previously resected in two others. The status of fifteen patients was post liver transplant, with recurrent liver failure. Human immunodeficiency virus was present in seven patients and eight patients had a history of non hepatic malignancies. Among the specimens, 162 were negative, two had atypical lymphocytes worked up for lymphoma, and three had atypical epithelioid cells; none was positive for HCC. Immunohistochemistry demonstrated a mesothelial origin for the atypical epithelioid cells in two cases; in the third case, the patient died shortly after the specimen was collected, with no radiological evidence of HCC. Conclusion: Ascites fluid cytology specimens in patients with cirrhosis, even those known or suspected to have HCC, are almost always negative. Atypical cells seen in such specimens should be treated with skepticism since the likelihood that they represent peritoneal spread of HCC is low.
Keywords: Ascites, cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma

Devizes School Raising Aspirations Building Futures
I am delighted to introduce you to Devizes School and give you a flavour of the ethos and culture that makes us the proud, strong and dynamic school that we are.
Devizes School is a successful and forward looking school where learning is at the heart of everything we do, where all young people are equally valued and where staff are committed to providing the very best education for all our students. Our very positive Ofsted report in February 2012 recognised this and graded every aspect of our work as 'Good' and the report contains many references to our outstanding practice.
Our examination results each year are excellent and demonstrate year on year, achievement in excess of national expectations. In 2013, 70% of our students achieved 5+ A*-C (50% with English and Maths) at GCSE, beating our targets. At A Level 59% of grades were A*-B – the students scoring an average of 230 points per entry, again beating targets and maintaining the best results in our area. Read more

Homeschooling Mom of 5 dds
Planning my fifth natural birth using Hypnobabies for baby boy coming in June 2012!
As far as spending the night...is there any possible way you can reserve the birthing room for a longer time?
Jam 7, Peanut Butter 5, and Bread 2.
its cause it hurts! LOL. Is that stupid? It looks like such a lazy pleasent drugged experience at the hospital....and in fact, my first baby I planned to go med free at a hospital but for me, its impossible for the drugs to be in front of my face and not take them. (In that state....LOL)

Good luck sleeping in a hospital.
My first was a home birth transfer, and I didn't get any sleep in the hospital/ |
"waiting on you for 2 days" - yeah right! Sure, they bring you food. They also bring blood pressure cuffs (or worse, the machine that squeezes your arm off) and stethoscopes. They bring questions and prods and tests and cameras and tell you when you are allowed to go to the bathroom or shower. The hospital is a terrible place to rest.
