Building on its success in 2012, the Zayed Future Energy Prize, launched in 2008 and managed by Masdar, will award five distinct categories during its 2013 awards ceremony.
The initiative represents the vision of the late Shaikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, founding father of the UAE, who championed environmental stewardship and sustainability as a fundamental aspect of the UAE's heritage. The annual award celebrates achievements that reflect impact, innovation, long-term vision and leadership in renewable energy and sustainability.
The Zayed Future Energy Prize has recognised some of the most innovative, visionary leaders in global sustainability. Winners, finalists, and other entrants have made a significant positive impact on the world's environment with their path-breaking solutions.
In a six-part series, we profile organisations that have shown leadership and long-term vision in championing the cause of renewable energy and sustainability. The fourth organisation we profile is Ceres, which has been nominated in the Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) category.
Founded 23 years ago, Ceres, a non-profit organisation, mobilises investors and business leaders to foster a thriving, sustainable global economy that meets the current needs of the world without compromising on the prosperity of future generations. It founded the Investor Network on Climate Risk in 2003, which now comprises 101 investors with US$10.7 trillion in combined assets. Ceres uses investor influence to pressure companies, industries and regulators to reduce carbon emissions and expand clean energy.
In an interview, Mindy Lubber, CEO of Ceres, talks about her organisation's achievements, future plans and the biggest issues facing renewable energy adoption.
What are your achievements to date?
On its founding, Ceres introduced a bold vision for the business community: a world in which business and capital markets promote the well-being of the society and protection of the earth's environment. For nearly a quarter of a century, Ceres has driven sustainability into the core DNA of key economic institutions including major corporations, institutional investors, stock exchanges and credit rating agencies, promoting them to act as catalysts for the fundamental change needed if humankind is to continue thriving on this planet.
Identifying the capital markets as a vital – and a previously unengaged – lever for change, Ceres was the world's first NGO to make the case that pension funds – in their fiduciary duty to maximise the long-term value of their assets – need to address climate and clean energy-related risks and opportunities in their portfolios.
Ceres pioneered harnessing the influence of investors to spur companies and policymakers to take bold climate action. In 2003, Ceres founded the Investor Network on Climate Risk (INCR).
In addition, Ceres had recently partnered with investor networks in Europe, Australia, and Asia to mobilise investors with US$20 trillion in assets to call on the world's governments to enact bold climate and energy policies.
The Ceres' 21st Century Roadmap, leveraging Ceres' INCR, calls on companies including 1,000 of the world's largest organisations to set sustainability goals at the board level, tie compensation to sustainability goals, and integrate those goals in the design of R&D and strategic planning, products, facilities and throughout the enterprise. Companies are beginning to adopt the Roadmap and working with Ceres to implement comprehensive sustainability programmes throughout their enterprises.
Ceres has developed a unique portfolio of tools and relationships with investors and businesses that can help build a sustainable future – our mission has never been more urgent. Ceres is motivated by the severity of the challenges we face and the opportunities our 23 years of action have developed.
Should you take home the prize, what do you plan to do with the prize fund?
Engage major corporations and their global supply chains in the implementation of new business strategies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve energy efficiency, source renewable energy and preserve water and other resources
Decarbonise the electric power and transportation sectors by advancing low and no-carbon electricity generation infrastructure including clean transportation choices that create jobs and stimulate sustainable economic development
Mobilise the insurance industry to encourage broad, aggressive action on climate change and clean energy
Expand coalitions of companies and investors advocating bold public policies to steeply reduce greenhouse gas emissions and expand efficiency and renewable energy
Expand international investor collaboration and leadership on renewable energy, through a new global investor coalition on climate change representing US$20 trillion in assets
Work with companies to integrate sustainable practices in their operations that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve energy efficiency and source renewable energy.
What would you say are the biggest areas of expansion and/or growth markets for your organisation?
Investors: Ceres will expand international investor collaboration on renewable energy. Specific activities will include collaboration with investor organisations working on climate change including the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), and the United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI). We will also encourage the development of low-carbon investment products and strategies suitable for institutional investors.
Ceres had recently formalised an agreement with our international counterparts and created a global investor coalition on climate change representing US$20 trillion in assets. Ceres will leverage the force of its international partners to mobilise companies, steer investment into climate solutions, and spur investors to take greater leadership. Ceres will continue to grow this international community of investors that supports sustainable energy innovation.
Insurance Industry: Ceres is the only NGO in the US working with insurance regulators on climate issues. In February 2012, after a five-year advocacy effort by Ceres, US state insurance regulators mandated insurers to assess and disclose climate risk impacts – lighting a fire under the world's largest industry that, with $5 trillion of annual revenues, influences virtually all economic activity. Building upon its nearly decade-long track record of engagement with the sector on this issue, Ceres is now uniquely positioned to influence the industry to take meaningful action and accelerate our insurance industry initiatives.
Companies: Ceres will mobilise leading businesses to purchase renewable energy and support policies that incentivise clean energy. Businesses have an enormous role to play in addressing the threats of climate change, through their products, operations, as well as social and political influence. Thus, Ceres will continue to recruit companies to join our Businesses for Innovative Climate and Energy Policy (BICEP) network.
We also encourage companies in the Ceres network to develop climate strategies and set goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, increasing renewable energy and improving energy efficiency in line with the 21st Century Corporation: Ceres Roadmap for Sustainability, which is now being used by hundreds of companies to accelerate the uptake of sustainable business practices.
Ceres Network companies are well ahead of their industry peers on key sustainability metrics such as lower greenhouse gas emissions, investment in renewable energy, and strong water stewardship. Nearly half of our major companies have time-bound greenhouse gas targets closely aligned with the reductions that climate scientists say are needed.
What, in your opinion, are the three biggest issues facing renewable energy adoption?
Reduced government investment in renewable energy
Barriers to deployment of private capital
Outdated business models
What do you think of the newly launched Global High School Prize category?
The newly launched Global High School Prize will inspire and reward youth leadership and bring their fresh thinking into the dialogue. Additionally, this generation, which has grown up in today's globalised and digitalised world, is well suited to work out of any part of the world and address such challenges. Bringing together young leaders from across continents, the Global High School Prize highlights the need for international activity and leverages this generation's strengths.

Must de Cartier by Cartier
Edit July 23, 2011: I've since learned that there are about 4 different formulations of Must de Cartier: 1) The original EdT which came out in 1981 2) The parfum which also came out in 1981 3) The reformulated EdT which came out in 1996 and lastly 4) the newest reformulated EdT which came out in 2005. HEAVENS! When one looks at all the reviews, it's hard to know which version people are talking about!! *I* don't even know which one I'm talking about, because I sampled from a carded manufacturer's sample, which is not dated, but simply has "Must de Cartier Eau de Toilette" on it. Supposedly the parfum is a completely different smell than the 1981 EdT -- which is all I can gather from the numerous reviews around the net. Many people seem to hate the 1996 EdT -- including Luca Turin. And lastly, the 2005 version of the EdT. Confused? Yeah, so am I.

Current Release Tasting Notes
2011 Vintage
The 2011 vintage started with unseasonably late rainfall in June which disrupted fruit set. This variable rain and low temperatures reduced the number and size of berries on each cluster yet increased concentration of the fruit. Harvest began on September 22nd and ended on October 25th.
Fresh aromas of bright red fruits, bay leaf and cassis give way to subtler notes of black tea and white pepper. Round tannins and creamy texture envelop the familiar flavors of fresh cherry and dark chocolate. This polished and age-worthy wine simultaneously offers a satiny finish and a slight grip of tannin at the close.

Motorists traveling on SR 77 (Oracle Road), north of Oro Valley to Catalina, should be aware of the following traffic restrictions as the Arizona Department of Transportation has detoured traffic onto northbound SR 77 through summer 2015. The work is part of a project to widen the roadway between Tangerine Road and the Pinal County line.
Construction crews will not be working Thursday, July 2 through Sunday, July 5 in observance of the Independence Day holiday.
Law enforcement will be monitoring this area as the speed limit has been reduced as follows:
SR 77 traffic has been shifted to the northbound side of SR 77 between Wilds Road and Vistoso Commerce Loop through summer 2015 to allow crews to construct the west side of the new wildlife overpass and underpass and widen the southbound side of SR 77. Two lanes of traffic will be maintained in each direction.
The lane reduction on SR 77 has been extended to Tangerine Road through summer 2015.
The north- and southbound SR 77 shoulders between Tangerine Road and Eagle Crest Ranch Boulevard are closed through the remainder of the project.
The following right-turn bays will remain closed through 2015:
Additionally, intermittent driveway closures will continue along SR 77, north of Tangerine Road, from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays through summer 2015 for installing curb, concrete driveways, grading and paving. Driveway access will be maintained.
Drivers, cyclists and pedestrian are urged to obey traffic control, stay away from where crews are working and be cautious while traveling through the work zone, especially in the detour area as shoulders will be significantly restricted.
In addition, please be aware of the following traffic control:
ADOT works to inform the public about planned roadway restrictions, but there is a possibility that unscheduled closures or restrictions may occur due to weather or equipment issues.
Drivers are reminded to share the road, be cautious, and slow down while traveling through the work zone.

Accused Mass. mother burner to remain in hospital
A judge has ruled that an Easthampton man found not guilty by reason of insanity of dousing his elderly mother in lighter fluid and setting her on fire must remain at a state mental health facility.
The Hampshire Superior Court judge found Monday that Gary Cernak (SER'-nack) is still a danger to others and denied his request to transfer to a less restrictive facility.
Cernak was sent to Bridgewater State Hospital following his May trial.
Authorities say the 58-year-old Cernak injured his mother in their home in May 2010. Dorothy Cernak suffered burns to her face and upper body, but survived.
The Republican ( http://bit.ly/TqZMjr) reports that his lawyer told the judge that Cernak's condition has improved with medication. A lawyer for the Department of Corrections said Cernak still suffers from delusions.

Is The Guide to Private Patients right for me if…
…I've never treated privately?
Yes! I wrote this book with you in mind. When I first got started, there weren't any resources available related to learning how to treat private patients- so I learned all I could and wrote a book about my experiences. The Guide to Private Patients covers all of the business aspects of learning to treat privately that you need to know. We've got tips, step-by-step guides, templates, worksheets, quizzes, etc.
…I only want to see a few patients "on the side"?
Yes! When I first started out I only saw one patient. Then I saw two. Then three. I became overwhelmed when I tried to see five – all while working my 32 hour "regular" job. This book is written for those who are not looking to leave a job, but supplement their full or part-time work by treating a few patients "on the side."
…I want to open (or already have) a free standing private practice
Maybe not. While I have had a few people buy my book who were looking to start full-blown free standing private practices, this is not my intended audience. There are many more factors that go into having a free standing practice: renting space, dealing with business insurance, hiring employees, etc. that most clinicians who are just looking to treat a few patients don't need to know about. Having said that, plenty of the information in the book would be applicable to those with a free standing private practice- but on a smaller scale. I don't have a free standing private practice and would not claim to be an expert in that area. There are people who have written books about opening a full private practice. You might be better off buying their book
I have only had two people ask for a refund my book. Both were owners of free standing private practices. One had been open for 15 years, the other for 25 years. Neither were the intended audience for this book- which they didn't realize prior to purchasing. I returned their money, no questions asked and no hard feelings on either side. In fact, both have referred other colleagues to this site.
Here's to your private patient success!

Considerations when charging large supercapacitor banks
Statement of the problemWhen charging batteries there is a advantage that capacitors don't have. Usually the batteries don't start at zero voltage, and even if they do only a tiny amount of charge is required to get them to a large fraction of the open circuit voltage. Capacitors often start at zero volts and the voltage is proportional to the coulombs of charge. This means that a capacitor charger is very different than a battery charger. A capacitor charger has to deliver a large amount of current at a wider range of voltages.
Several Solutions to the ProblemThere are two problems that need to be addressed in choosing a power supply to charge large supercapacitor banks.
1) All power supplies need voltage and current regulation. Most of the time the voltage is tightly regulated and the current is free to vary until it maxes out. A current controlled power supply monitors the current and tries to keep it constant by varying the voltage if needed. This means that the output current is monitored and the output current controlled. While most switching power supplies are current limited, the way they act to an overcurrent condition varies. Also, the limit point is usually beyond the recommended operating range of the supply (typically 120% of rated power to allow for surges). Common overcurrent behaviors include:
a) Shutdown. The supply stops delivering power and needs to be power-cycled to re-start.
b) Hiccup mode. The power supply will shutdown, then restart itself. This will repeat until either the overload goes away, or a component in the power supply fails from trying. This will gradually add charge to the capacitor bank until it is within the voltage and current range of the power supply
c) Foldback. This means that the output voltage is reduced. Depending on the slope of the foldback, the current limit point may also be reduced as the voltage drops. Some supplies have a combination of these. For example Meanwell's S-150 series will foldback for mild overloads, and shutdown for larger ones. Foldback is the closest to what is needed for charging batteries or capacitors. But these power supplies are not designed to foldback until the output current is far beyond the rated power. For the S-150 the threshold is about 130% of rated capacity, so the supply is running hot when it is in current limit. This point can be adjusted by changing one fixed resistor. I have also used the SP-320 series for battery charging, but needed to add external circuitry to implement current limiting. The PSP-500 series has an internal pot to adjust the current limit point. This will also gradually increase the charge and voltage on the capacitor bank, though the foldback range (or compliance) is rarely sufficient to let it charge a capacitor bank from zero voltage.
2) The second problem, at least for charging supercapacitors, is over what range of output voltage will the supply deliver continuous power without shutting down or hicoughing. With most batteries, the range of voltage between discharged and fully charged is not very wide, so it doesn't pose much of a problem. With capacitors, the fully discharged voltage is zero. This is a big problem in that most power supplies usually won't work into the dead short, which is what a fully discharged cap looks like.
The reason for this is because the operating power for the control circuit is usually derived from an extra winding on the transformer. While this winding is isolated from the output, the voltage it delivers is a fixed ratio of the output voltage. This ratio is chosen by the designer to deliver a operating voltage of 10-12 volts when the power supply is delivering it's nominal output voltage. Depending upon the design, the supply will usually work properly even if this voltage varies by as much as +/- 30%. Unfortunately, there is no ratio that will deliver any operating voltage when the output is zero volts. We have used two possible solutions to this problem. One is to have a linear post regulator to keep the switcher output high enough to keep operating when the capacitor is zero. This linear regulator would be bypassed as soon as the capacitor voltage is high enough for the switcher to continue directly. The second solution would be to have a power source for the operating circuitry that is independent of the output voltage. There are trade-offs between these for efficiency and simplicity. Of course, the trade-offs will vary with the actual power supply chosen, it's minimum operating voltage, and complexity of modifications.
PowerStream has experience with chargers for large supercapacitor banks, including UPS systems using supercapacitors for wide temperature range applications and intrinsically safe backups.

Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition, then beat in vanilla. Reduce speed to low and add half of flour mixture, mixing until blended. Add milk and mix until just combined, then add remaining flour mixture, mixing just until batter is smooth.
Divide batter evenly between cake pans, smoothing tops. Bake in middle of oven until cake is springy to the touch and a tester inserted in center of each cake layer comes out clean, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool in pans on racks 10 minutes, then invert onto racks, remove paper, and cool completely.
Assemble cake:
Peel bananas and cut into 1/8-inch-thick slices, then lightly brush with lemon juice (to prevent discoloring).
Beat cream with superfine sugar and vanilla in a bowl with cleaned beaters at medium speed until it just holds stiff peaks.
Put 1 cake layer on a cake plate and spread with 3/4 cup whipped cream. Top with 1 layer of banana slices arranged side by side. Arrange second cake layer over bananas and spread remaining cream over top and sides of cake. Arrange remaining bananas, overlapping slightly, on top of cake.

I forgot to bring a camera this year so no pics from me. I wanted to post up some comments about the race but did not want to do a huge wall of text. I will try to limit the TLDNR stuff and insert the pics that I have found.
If you have made it this far into the thread you know that we entered two bikes this year. My dad and I planned to do the start together, which we did and you can see some of it in the video Allan Diehr posted up. The NORRA folks changed the starting order so dad and I could leave the start together. I thought that was cool of them.
Here is a pic that another Allan took of us at the start.
Another pic. Thanks for the pics Allan!
I really like this one
Anyway off we go. The course was marked a little better this year so it was pretty easy to get out to the lake bed. I took a bad line and dad followed me and ended up landing on the front wheel hard enough to knock the cover off his roadbook with his head. I tried to wave him off but too late. I did not realize how hard he hit, said he saw stars. After his altercation with the roadbook he was a little loopy...There was some dust and he lost me at a turn. Unfortunately for dad, there was another lost guy that dad mistook for me, and followed him for awhile. After checking his GPS dad figured out the other guy was not me and located me on top of the hill. We hit the lakebed and ran about 70ish all the way in to the finish.
The plan was for me to ride in the chase truck to BOLA from the lakebed. That was changed up and I ended up taking the bike from Allan at San Felipe and riding the super long transit to Gonzaga. I handed the bike back off to Allan and he took her to the finish for day one.
Forgot to mention that we left the hotel at odark thirty. We made it to a little before Progresso when my light went out. So I turned off the damn thing and we rode in on the yamaha's light till we hit the downhill before laguna salada and the yamaha's light went out. Luckily my battery had charged a bit and we made it to the start on my light.
An Elefant never forgets.

South African authorities said they will prosecute citizens who serve in the Israel Defense Forces.
The warning earlier this week came after a pro-Palestinian advocacy group opened a case against Dean Goodson of Cape Town, who reportedly is serving in the IDF.
Action Forum in Support of Palestine told the South Africa Independent online that it plans to open cases against at least four other South Africans that the group believes are serving in the IDF.
South Africa's Regulation of Foreign Military Assistance Act regulates the involvement of South Africans in armed conflicts beyond the country's borders. Those found guilty could be sentenced to jail time.
The country's defense minister, on the recommendation of the National Conventional Arms Control committee, can grant permission to serve in conflicts abroad.
The warning by South African officials also covered those serving in militaries in Afghanistan and West Africa.
South Africa's Defense Department told the Independent that it has not granted permission to any South African to participate in the current Gaza conflict. The department said it was aware that some may be serving in the IDF without clearance.

Well, the Indiana Pacers wanted to move up the ladder in the Eastern Conference to compete with the likes of the Miami Heat and Boston Celtics and now they are finding out first hand what that all entails. Persevering through the injuries is part of achieving such success. And now the Pacers will have the next three months to show the rest of the league if they can walk that walk. The Pacers announced Wednesday that their franchise player, Danny Granger, could be out until February after receiving an injection in his left knee to treat left patellar tendinitis. He is expected to miss at least the next three months of action. In all, Granger's absence could exclude him from 46 of the Pacers regular season games, putting the onus on the entire team to step up in his absence. A large part of that duty, however, will be placed upon Gerald Green and Sam Young who will likely swap starts while Granger is out. It's going to have to be a team concept," head coach Frank Vogel s...

Then, yep
, right down the rabbit hole

We are bringing flower power back with this range of wildflower and sunflower mix! Eden's Paper is 100% Plantable Wrapping Paper. It's a gift within a gift! So, instead of throwing your wrapping paper in the bin, you can now plant it to grow things like broccoli, onions, wild flowers, carrots and tomatoes! Once the paper has been planted in the soil, the paper immediately begins to biodegrade leaving the seeds to grow into champion veg or flowers. How cool is that? Eden's Paper has nine plantable wrapping papers, these are broccoli, carrot, tomato, bell pepper, beetroot, gem lettuce and onion. We also have flowers, including wildflowers, and a sunflower wrapping paper. Aside from bringing out further veg varieties, Eden's Paper will be bringing out herbs, fruits and further flowered papers too. The scope for the products is endless and they are perfect to compliment gifts for an array of occasions, from Valentine's, to birthdays, and christenings to Christmas. Eden's Paper makes any gift that extra bit special. made from: Our paper is made from 100% recycled paper. The seeds are embedded on the back of the wrapping paper in seven layers of biodegradable tissue paper. The wrapping paper and tissue paper layers use no glues to hold them together, as glues are harmful to the soil. How are the layers of paper held together then? The layers of printed paper with the wrapping paper designs on, and layers of tissue paper containing the seeds are held together through an embossing process carried out during manufacture. Each layer of paper is interlocked with the one above it, sandwiching the seeds between them. This means no seeds can fall out of the paper, and ensures that no glues are used in the manufacturing process to bind the layers together. What about the ink used on the paper, isn't that bad for the soil? Even the ink used in the printing process is vegetable-based, so this is an entirely earth-friendly product. Where the magic happens! The underside of the Wrapping Paper and where the seeds are embedded onto the Wrapping Paper. dimensions: Each sheet measures 45 cm x 70 cm 3 pack includes: 2 x Wild Flower, 1 x Sunflower 5 pack includes: 3 x Wild Flower, 2 x Sunflower product code: 316088 4 customer reviews Mon 28 Apr 2014 Nice paper and good idea - but to call it 'wrapping' paper is a bit of a hope. Thu 17 Apr 2014 Good, although the bio-degradable paper itself is rather coarse and dull, and not really a natural type associated with wrapping paper. Good reaction from the person who received gift though! Especially from their kids who wanted to plant it immediately!

51GB HD-DVD approved.

Re: 51GB HD-DVD approved.
The DVD Forum presented the basic specifications of two new triple-layer HD DVD disc formats, in an effort to offer higher storage capacities competitive to the rival Blu-Ray camp.
The DVD Forum presented two new extensions of the HD DVD-ROM format:
- The HD DVD-ROM Triple layer 51GB (single format)
- The Triple layer Twin format
The presentation took place in the DVD Forum, PCC, Europe Conference 2007 on September 3rd at Novotel Berlin, Am Tiergarten hotel.
HD DVD-ROM Triple layer 51GB
This is a HD DVD-ROM disc with three layers. Each layer can store up to 17GB of data/video, resulting in a total capacity of 51GB.
The disc has been approved by the DVD Forum's WG-11 (Triple layer 51 GB disc Ver.1.9), and is expected to be also approved by the TCG/SC later this year.
The new disc adds a high-end option to the previous HD DVD-ROM disc lineup that includes the 15GB (single-layer, single-sided) and 30GB (dual-layer, single-sided). Commercialization of the 51GB HD DVD-ROm disc could definitely be a strong weapon for the HD DVD format against Sony's Blu-Ray, which currently offers a maximum of 50GB of storage capacity with 2-layer discs. However, the new HD DVD-ROM discs may not be copmatible with the first generaation HD DVD players, since their triple-layer nature could require the use of spherical aberration compensation techniques for reading, a feature that is not currently supported by the HD DVD hardware. The DVD Forum's representatives said that the issue is still under study.
DVD/HD DVD-ROM Triple layer Twin format
This is the second extension of the HD DVD format that was presented at the DVD Forum sconference. This is a single- sided disc with one DVD layer and two HD DVD layers. The available capacities are 4.7GB for DVD and 30Gb for HD DVD.
The WG-11 approved the extension (Triple layer Twin format Ver. 1.9). The standard definition content of the new "hybrid" discs can be played back on current DVD Players, while their owners will also be able to enjoy high-definition content from the same source when they purchase HD DVD players. The new disc further prepares the way for a smooth transition from DVD to HD DVD.
I especially like the idea of single sided DVD/dual layer HD-DVD format.

Originally written on Soccerlens | Last updated 2/13/12
Furniture Footballers – Football's All-Furniture XI - originally posted on Soccerlens.comFurniture Footballers? Soccerlens.com senior writer Eddie Griffin looks at football names that sound like your average household furniture. One could fill a book or three on all of the reasons to love sports, but one of the greatest things about sports, from baseball to football, to the other football, the other football, the other football, and the other football, is that they give us so many conversation topics and lasting memories. Often times, they're about a game, a moment in a game, or a certain player, but often enough, conversations don't have the least bit to do with the action. For example, a couple of months ago, Umbro, with the help of football fans on Twitter, came up with a full team of 'furniture footballers'. Inspired by their selections, we're trying our hand at our own, and though there are some similarities between that lineup and this one, there are several originals, incl...

So, I know I've been really absent from HF, but I always feel like you guys are so supportive and full of awesome advice and you always seem excited whenever people post updates (including me) so here's an update for you!
If you remember, earlier this year I bought a little grey mare who'd been sitting in a pasture for 2 months after being pulled from race training. I'm happy to say she's really doing well, despite a few setbacks in the past 6 months. She's had an abscess, mysterious (and random) nosebleeds and in September she had a very nasty experience with colic that the vet was about 90% positive she would not walk away from without surgery (which is not an option for me, financially) that she ended up 100% recovering from. I've really enjoyed working with her, despite these bumps in the road, and I've got some photos for you!
First, here are some "then and now" photos.
August 6th vs. October 20th. I don't really have any earlier jumping photos of her.
Her first time out on cross country she was foot perfect. I mean, did not hesitate or blink at anything; water, banks, ditches...she did everything the first time without a lead. I was speechless, to be honest.
These last two are from today. She jumped a little corner for the first time as well as a single barrel on its side (did not get a photo of that one unfortunately). She's currently schooling 2'6"-2'9" courses and jumping 3'0" or 3'3" occasionally in our gridwork. The lattice rolltop is about 3'0" with the flowers on top.

LONDON and BOSTON, April 9, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
EP Vantage Analyzes Accuracy of Analyst Sales Estimates for Blockbuster and Near-Blockbuster Launches
Pharma industry observers widely expect Biogen Idec's new multiple sclerosis therapy Tecfidera to reach mega-blockbuster status. However, EP Vantage®, EvaluatePharma®'s award-winning editorial team cautions that forecasting revenue for an unlaunched drug isn't always easy. A five-year review of EvaluatePharma's consensus forecasts of analyst predictions for blockbuster or near-blockbuster drug launches found that new products with the biggest hopes often disappoint, while others have vastly outperformed low expectations.
The report, "The Industry's Brightest Hopes: Where Are They Now?" uncovers some remarkable misses prompted by a sea change in treatment, reimbursement issues, safety concerns and heightened competition. While analysts' forecasts don't always ring true on performance, EP Vantage found that forecasts have also been spot on and in some cases performances even exceeded initial estimates.
"Evaluating the accuracy of consensus forecasts is particularly pertinent given the recent US approval of Tecfidera, with consensus data suggesting that this drug's sales could reach $3.7 billion within five years. Many factors can influence the success of a drug and while forecasts have been proven to ring true in many cases, our analysis shows just how far off they can be," commented Jacob Plieth , author of the EP Vantage report.
