So... I'm having at bareback. But, would this help me pin point my trouble spots? I'm not as good bareback as I am in a saddle yet but aside from that, what all should I ask for a lesson on?
Should I ask to see if I can get a lesson on collection and half halts?

Is anyone else having a problem where the ToH Beta crashes to desktop after about 10 or 15 minutes of playing? It's the same almost every time... works fine for about 10 minutes or so, then suddenly the frame rate drops to about 2 or 3 fps for about 15 seconds, then it freezes completly and kicks back to the desktop with the standard "This program has encountered a problem and needs to close" error dialog crap.
I've tried different video settings in the game, video card settings in the nVidia panel, re-installing ToH beta, updating the video drivers... nothing has worked and it's been like this since I first installed it. I know it's a beta, but it's hard to playtest something that won't run for more than about 10 minutes at a time!

I just posted an item on Germany's real estate prices -- going up to
bubble levels (just as everyone else's real estate bubble is bursting)
because Europeans are looking for safe havens for their money.
I think that's what's happening with both American stocks and
American bonds. When the Fed and the ECB pour liquidity into
the marketplace, it has to go somewhere, and those places are
German real estate, American stocks, and American bonds.
It's a real puzzle how this will end. What safe haven will
replace those three, and what will trigger the movement of
liquidity? I can guess, but I really don't know.

Katie's Chinese Name
My Dad and stepmom came up with a Chinese name for Katie. It's a combination of my family name, my Chinese middle name, and Kristine's name. Apparently they added some extra strokes in to represent water, which means lots of money. Good thinking! :-)

Katie's Story Part IV
The next day Chris and I were standing at the foot of Katie's bed and I looked down at her foot and noticed that it was tapping repeatedly. She was under what is called a "bear hugger"...it's basically a series of clear plastic tubes/blanket that keep her warm by blowing warm air over her body. We told the nurse to come quickly. She yelled out the door to the doctor that Katie was seizing. Another very low point for us. It is so scary to watch your baby have a seizure. I had to restrain myself from running after the doctor to physically push him on the back to make him go faster, faster to get the meds. The seizure moved up her body and into her hands, the doctor finally came back with Ativan and it stopped within a few minutes. Katie ended up having this type of seizure "localized" about 3-4 times in the next 2 days.
One of the most discouraging things was that Chris, his sister (who was watching Katie while we were taking a break) and I were the only ones who spotted any seizures and alerted the doctors. I would brief each new nurse with what to look for (they started very subtly). The nurses usually sat about 5 feet away at a desk in the doorway where they didn't have a clear view of Katie...only the monitors, which didn't register her seizures (this was unusual). It was very frustrating. I ended up putting up a sign with instruction on the foot on her bed but it didn't help.
One moment that still sticks in my head took place right after we noticed her second seizure, almost immediately after they got the first one under control. Katie's nurse yelled out to her doctor (one of our favorite doctors...Dr. Dust) that she was seizing again and I saw the look on his face. He looked down and shook his head very slowly and sadly. I immediately knew that the seizures were clearly indicating something very BAD. I initially thought that they were perhaps only occurring from her fevers. Babies can have seizures if they run a high fever for any length of time.
I also have to say that during this time in the ICU, my Mom, Dad and Stepmom, Chris' sister and his Mom were an amazing help and strength for us. They sat with Katie, holding her hands and talking to her, when we ran home to get a quick shower or just stepped outside for breaks. We really couldn't have done this without them!
They did another EEG and head ultrasound shortly after the seizures. We didn't hear back with the results as fast as we usually did…I had an AWFUL feeling. I asked the nurse to track down one of her doctor several times and then finally went to get him ourselves. Another one of her doctors came into the room with another new ICU doctor and without any warning just blurted out "she has severe bleeding in her brain, it is diffuse and it doesn't look good". I think Chris and I just looked down at the floor and I started to cry. We didn't ask many questions, we just went and held Katie's hands and kissed her face for a long time. Then we started making tearful calls to our families to let them know what was happening. I just kept saying that she'll pull through and we'll deal with whatever we have to for Katie. I think I repeated that statement about 100 times in the next 24 hours. My Dad came and talked to the doctor with Chris who told them that his diagnosis was highly "likely" but not confirmed until they did an MRI. We clung to that hope for about 24 hours. We just prayed that her brain would be protected from any long term serious damage.
The same night that they intervened with life support, they had told us that they wanted to take her down to get a MRI of her brain at the height of the infection. That was the point when we realized that the fevers, infection and even drugs could do damage to her brain. They ended up doing it that night, (the night after they gave us the ultrasound news) because she wasn't stable enough for the trip to another floor until that time. It is complicated to do an MRI on a baby who is on life support. There can't be any metal in the MRI machine (nothing magnetic), so they have to temporarily replace most of the equipment with special plastic versions. They also unhooked her ventilator and a respiratory tech pumped her oxygen by hand using a bag the whole time. About 3 hours. I was so worried that something would go wrong. In the end the MRI was completed and she made it back to her room. After the MRI I had another very frustrating exchange. One nurse told me that it went well and another told me the next day that she had a very hard time during the move to the MRI room and it was very tense for a while. One of them outright lied to me and I had a very hard time believing their "reports" from that point on. I understand that she, and others later on, were trying to somehow shield me but when I specifically asked for information I expected a truthful answer. Don't get me wrong, we had some amazing, wonderful doctors and nurses that we loved and who cared for Katie like she was their own. However, sadly even in a leading children's hospital there were nurses and doctors who are careless and incompetent. We saw some pretty scary mistakes and behavior while we were there…not only with Katie, but with other babies and children, after which we had someone with Katie at ALL times 24 hours a day. You don't want to know the details....you'd be terrified going the hospital.
So, we knew that after the MRI was read we would definitively know about the state of Katie's brain and in much more detail. I didn't sleep all night and Chris and I went back and forth between our "parents room" and Katie bedside. We waited on pins and needles until the next afternoon when a neurologist had a chance to read the MRI.
They came to get us. Chris and my Dad went to the conference room with several doctors to find what they had seen. I couldn't go. My legs just wouldn't work. When they had been gone for over 20 minutes I knew that it was bad news. Chris would have rushed back to put me out of my misery if it was good news.
My Dad came to get me and I sat down while Chris had to tell me that our baby had severe, widespread bleeding, damage and cell death to her brain. The Neurologist told him that she may never see, hear, walk, talk or do anything at all. He described a lifetime of severe disabilities if not a completely vegetative state.
We were totally destroyed. The Neurologist painted a horribly bleak future for Katie. He went on to tell us that we were in for many very difficult and stressful years as parents. They told us that we had to give up all of the dreams that we had for our baby..."just let them go" they said. They told us to be hopeful for things like...Katie being able to swallow...Katie knowing we existed...Katie being able to communicate basic needs. We walked around in a cloud of confusion and pain for the next day or so. No, no Katie was going to be fine, we thought that she would get some antibiotics and give us a scare, but come home healthy and happy! Our baby daughter...the one who was born so perfect just 3 weeks ago...you must be talking about another baby.
The same day that this news came, our favorite doctor came into Katie's room and told us that Katie had reached a point where he felt comfortable telling us that she was going to survive. Now, we knew that Katie was very, very sick and there was the risk of complications, however, no doctor or nurse ever said to us that she was in danger of dying. We knew in our hearts that it was possible, but because nothing was said, we tried to ignore these negative thoughts. We stared at him with our mouths hanging open and then started with the questions. He told us that over 50% of babies who contract GBS Meningitis die within 72 hours. This was a major wake up call for me and I realized just how lucky we were that Katie was still with us at all!

Katie's Story Part III
So, I'm at home gathering our stuff and hubby Chris is in the NICU with Katie. They have intubated her and placed an arterial line in her jugular, inserted a catheter and various other tubes, etc.
I head back to the hospital…I can't remember who drove me there. Chris brought me to see Katie for the first time since all of the medical intervention. He had taken a photo of her showing the breathing tube, just to prepare me, but I couldn't look at it. After I gowned up and walked back into her NICU room (she was still quarantined at this point) I saw her, lying so tiny in the big bed, with a million tubes, connectors and about 12 medicine pumps at her side.
I had a strange reaction…in a way I was glad that the doctors had finally DONE something and it somehow showed me that they were taking this very seriously. I weirdly blurted out "wow, she looks great" in a booming voice. I'm sure her nurse thought I'd lost it. I went on and on about how peaceful she looked and her colour was better, blah, blah, blah. I know that my brain was trying to process everything and this was the best I could do for idle chatter at the time.
Chris told me that he thought I was going to flip out when I saw her and I said something like "no, no she looks fantastic". You'll see how crazy this statement will when you see her photo at the end of this post. * Just a warning that it's disturbing if you haven't seen other very sick babies. She's very puffy.
So, at this point they told us that it would take up to 72 hours to grow out anything from Katie's lumbar puncture. 72 HOURS!!!?? In the meantime they had her on high doses of 2 broad spectrum antibiotics, hoping to slow down whatever was attacking her little body. She was also on a paralytic, lots of fluid to try to control her blood pressure which was very erratic, lots of morphine and other pain meds.
Usually in the case of an emergency I take control…memorizing meds, researching online, asking a million questions, etc. Maybe I'm a bit type A…Chris lovingly tells me I'm AAAA. :) But because it was my little girl I couldn't do any of these things. Chris ended up taking control of the information for the first few days of her NICU stay. I would ask him questions and get updates from rounds, which Chris attended. I couldn't stand hearing them talk about Katie like she was a number during rounds and I didn't want all of the worst case scenarios that they were throwing around.
The first 2 days in the NICU were spent trying to stabilize her heart rate and blood pressure with meds. As a result of the massive amounts of fluid she was receiving and the fact that she was VERY ill, her body couldn't process the fluid properly and it basically leaked out of her cells and into her tissue. That is why you see a lot of sick babies looking extremely puffy and swollen. Once this happened the next hurdle was to try to get the fluid "off" with diuretics, which wasn't going well. Her blood pressure would drop then sky rocket. On the second day they started doing the first of many EEG's as well as ultrasounds of her head/brain. Obviously the doctors knew, or strongly suspected at this point, that it was Meningitis but wouldn't tell us until the cultures grew out. (I later found out that when spinal fluid is pulled from a person with Meningitis it is very cloudy, so they would have suspected during the first night)
The hospital had a "parents room" right outside the NICU for parents of gravely ill children to stay overnight. It had a couple of pull-out chairs and a tv. We ended up sleeping in this room in shifts for 10 days. THIS was an amazing help as I couldn't imagine not being able to stay close to her once I came back to the hospital.
At about the 48 hour mark they officially told us that Katie had late-onset GBS Meningitis. This form of Meningitis is very rare...it needs two things to happen in order for it to attack the body… exposure to Group B Strep and a momentary weakening in the respiratory or digestive system. GBS is carried harmlessly by 30 – 40% of the population. The bacteria must first get into your body and then it has to cross through your respiratory or digestive system "wall" to start colonizing in spinal fluid and eventually into your brain. This is the same GBS that all pregnant women are tested for (here in Canada).
We were asked to talk with a team from "infectious diseases" and they were surprised to hear that I was negative. Then they assumed it was a false negative and that Katie probably picked it up during child birth. When they found out that Katie was a "dry" (my water didn't break) c-section they again were surprised. We later found out that the chances of Katie picking up GBS from a source other than me while I was pregnant was about 1 in 10,000 or less. It was a total fluke, bad luck and a terrible accident. In the end they suspect that she was exposed at the hospital shortly after she was born. Likely by cross-contamination through a nurse via another mother who was positive. Then 18 days later, for some reason her body let the bacteria "through" and after this happens it becomes extremely aggressive. Chris really did save her life that night by taking her tempterature "just to be safe". She wouldn't have lived through the night.
I can't even look at the hospital where she was born when I drive by it now. It used to be a place that was full of amazing memories of her birth. When I see it now I just think that it's an extremely dangerous place for the many babies that I know are born there every day and every night.
Once I convince Chris to have another baby (I'm working on it) we will be going to another hospital and so help me NO ONE will be touching our child without pouring a bottle of antiseptic on their hand in front of me. But I'm getting sidetracked again….sorry.
After telling us that it was Meningitis they described to us what it was doing to her body. The antibiotics usually take care of the bacteria fairly quickly (within days), but once the bacteria dies it turns into a lethal toxin and continues to travel to the brain. The toxin causes bleeding in the brain, which in turn blocks oxygen from reaching brain cells and if deprived for any length of time, brain cells start to die and never re-grow. The overall trauma that her little body was going through could also produce strokes, multiple organ failure, heart failure, collapsed lungs, blindness, deafness, lost limbs…the list went on.
No one knew at that time, but I had spent many hours reading and re-reading a long newspaper article that was posted in the hall outside of the NICU about a little girl who, when she was Katie's age, had a less severe form of Meningitis and made it out alive with "only hearing loss" and "physical disabilities". They called this a MIRACLE. ONLY hearing loss, ONLY physical disabilities??? !!! I knew what Katie was facing as soon as I heard Meningitis and then it only got worse once I found out it was GBS. I told everyone NOT to read the article (we had to walk by it about 40 times a day)…that it was too depressing and that it wouldn't help them. I SO wished I had never seen it. Sometimes a little ignorance IS bliss.
Our little munchin...all puffy and very sick. This was not even close to her "puffiest" day in the photo.

December 1, 2008
Kristine was using a lot of words in the last couple of posts. So I figured I'd just post a pic of Katie. Saves me from having to use my words. Words no good, me.
Katie's Story Part II
So now we're in the NICU... Katie is fighting for every breath and her nurse (Suzanne, who ended up being our favorite and most talented nurse) starts administering drugs to try to bring down her heart rate. At this point it's still above 200 bpm and everyone is getting VERY concerned about that.
Then I made a HUGE mistake. As I mentioned earlier, I was pretty grey from the c-section still and the room started to spin. Chris, totally meaning the best for me, suggested that I go home to try and rest a bit. At this point, we're still thinking that it's just a matter of the doctors finding the virus and treating her with some antibiotics. So my mom came and picked me up and brought me home. I arrived home and crawled into bed. It's not like I slept, I don't know what I was thinking. I just cried and worried and called every 5 minutes.
I had called my Dad and my stepmom from the ER and told them what was happening to Katie. They live about 3 hours away and immediately jumped in their car and drove to the hospital. I wasn't there when they arrived, but they saw Katie and Chris and then came to see me at home. By the time they got here I knew that this was the worst decision ever and wanted to head back to be with Katie. At the same time I was SO, SO afraid that she was going to die that I couldn't even make my feet walk towards the door. I was also very worried about Chris being there by himself. I asked Jo (stepmom extraordinaire) if she would go and see if Chris was okay and stay with him. She immediately went over…it was 2:00am at this point. I started throwing some clothes into a bag for us and the phone rang.
It was Chris calling to say that the doctors were worried that Katie would tire out from her effort to breath and wanted to do several things. This is the point that we realized that she is a little fighter…and very determined to stay here. They wanted to intubate Katie, put in a feeding tube, catheter and start her on high doses of pain medication and a paralytic. The decision was left to us. We knew that parenting would require difficult decisions along the way, NEVER did we think we would be deciding whether to put our daughter onto life support or risk her breathing. Neither of us were very coherent and could barely speak. I know I keep mentioning the "shock", but really it was almost paralyzing. We decided to give the go ahead with all of the tubes, wires and awful equipment that would keep our baby alive. Looking back, THANK GOD, this equipment exists… it helped save Katie's life. Chris told me that they needed about 2-3 hours with Katie to do everything they needed to do. The lumbar puncture was also going to be done at this time. We were not allowed to be in the room until everything was complete. She had to be alone. :(
I'm still fighting to get myself up and back to the hospital. I will forever feel guilty for not being with her every second.
My BFF Judy called to see what was happening. I gave her updates and she told me what I needed to hear…"Kristine, get back to the hospital. You have to be there, Katie needs you. You would never forgive yourself if something was to happen and you weren't by her side". Yup, that snapped me out of the haze and got me moving. Thanks Jude.
Chris calls again and tells me that it's all done and he's back with Katie in her room. He said that although there is now a massive amount of equipment and tubes, she looks so much more comfortable and no longer has to fight for every breath.
It's now approaching morning (Katie has been in the hospital for almost 24 hours) and I asked my Dad to drive me back with our things, preparing never to leave as long as Katie was there.
To be continued…
I'm a slow blogger, huh. I'm writing in between taking care of Katie and trying to eat 3 meals a day…something that I have not yet mastered since becoming a mom.

The others do update at midnight. Just not midnight eastern standard time.
Makes me wonder if the sumo wrestler and monster truck could tag team against Godzilla and Gamera from yesterday. -

Courtney Love still at it People: "Oh, mom, not again. Frances Bean Cobain lashed out at her mother Courtney Love for claiming on Twitter than her late husband Kurt Cobain's bandmate Dave Grohl had "hit on" Frances and that "she was curious." "While I'm generally silent on the affairs of my biological mother, her recent tirade has taken a gross turn," says Frances. "I have never been approached by Dave Grohl in more than a platonic way. I'm in a monogamous relationship and very happy." Frances adds: "Twitter should ban my mother." Grohl, the Nirvana drummer who now leads the Foo Fighters, also criticized Cobain's widow, who had Tweeted that Grohl was "sexually obsessed" with Cobain. "Unfortunately Courtney is on another hateful Twitter rant," Grohl, the married father of two daughters, says through his rep, according to E!. "These new accusations are upsetting, offensive and absolutely untrue." Frances, 19, is engaged to Isaiah Silva, frontman of the rock band the Rambles."
Brad and Angelina may work together again Us: "It's not Mr. and Mrs. Smith Part 2, but it'll do! Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie may costar in another movie, director Ridley Scott's The Counselor, Deadline reported on Thursday. Based the dark novel by author Cormac McCarthy (No Country for Old Men), the flick - about an attorney who gets caught up in a drug trafficking scheme - already signed Michael Fassbender in the title role. According to Deadline, Jolie, 36, and real-life love Pitt, 48, are in talks to join the cast, plus Javier Bardem. (At one point, fellow Oscar winner Natalie Portman was rumored to be in talks for the female lead.)"
Still picking over the bones of Marilyn Monroe Deadline: "Entertainment One has teamed with the Estate of Marilyn Monroe to develop and produce Finding Marilyn, a competition reality series that will emulate Monroe's journey to stardom by featuring twelve young girls as they travel to Los Angeles to compete for a chance to become the next Hollywood "it" girl. The series will be produced by eOne Television in association with the Estate of Marilyn Monroe whose rights are held by Authentic Brads Group ... No premiere date is announced but the project may be tied to the 50th anniversary of Monroe's death in August."
Good to know TMZ: "Morgan Freeman is adamant ... he has NEVER had a romantic relationship with his 27-year-old step-granddaughter E'Dena Hines ... and slams all of the reports to the contrary as "defamatory fabrications." Morgan just released a statement responding to recent reports that he and Hines have been dating for roughly 10 years and were planning to get married in the very near future. Freeman's rep tells us the actor remained silent for years because he didn't want to "dignify these stories by commenting" ... but now he feels compelled to speak out after the reports were picked up by various "mainstream media" outlets. In his statement, Freeman says, "The recent reports of any pending marriage or romantic relationship of me to anyone are defamatory fabrications from the tabloid media designed to sell papers. What is even more alarming is that these fabrications are now being picked up by the legitimate press as well." E'Dena has also issued a statement ... saying, "These stories about me and my grandfather are not only untrue, they are also hurtful to me and my family." For the record, E'Dena is the granddaughter of Morgan's first wife, Jeanette Adair Bradshaw. She and Morgan are not related by blood."
Vaughn and Wilson together again Coming Soon: "Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson, who last teamed in Wedding Crashers, will reunite in the 20th Century Fox comedy The Internship, to be directed by Shawn Levy, the studio announced today. In the story, Vaughn and Wilson portray two old school salesmen who, finding themselves suddenly unemployed and passed-by in the digital world, try to reinvent themselves by becoming interns at a major tech company. Levy's 21 Laps Entertainment and Vaughn's Wild West Picture Show Productions will produce the film that is based on Vaughn's original script."

i wouldnt advise a noob to top a plant this early on his first grow, especially not to take enough to make a cutting take root. pinching the tip might help increase branchieness but i prefer a more patient approach. i havent topped any of mine, and they are bushy as fuck, due to large numbers of low wattage lights all around, and effective reflection.
if that plant is around two months old, give it more light all around. if the plant is under one month old, it will bush out soon.

Cancer Confusion: Are Mammograms Necessary?
So the debate over the benefit of screening mammography has been ongoing the past several years and has recently heated up due to a study in the Journal of the American Medical Association that was discussed earlier this week in the New York Times. There have been several recent papers like this one stating that some women (1 in 3--a disputed figure) are overdiagnosed by screening mammograms, and some women are in age groups that do not necessarily benefit from screening of their breasts by mammography (the under 50 and over 70 year-olds). Click above for the Youtube video where Alisyn Camerota of Fox and Friends top rated morning show interviews me on this hot topic. I am reluctant to fully accept a change in the screening mammography recommendations of the American Cancer Society at the present moment for the following reasons:
-Breast cancer is a lethal disease that occurs in 1 in 7 women. Deaths from breast cancer have fallen to the lowest levels in 50 years, although the overall # of cases has risen due to early screening and detection. When dealing with cancer, you want to avoid people dying unnecessarily by performing screening tests (in this case, mammography). When patients are faced with a diagnosis from a screening test, they are usually going to opt for treatment. Screening saves over 1000 lives per year. Unfortunately, we cannot predict which cancer will go on to develop into a more dangerous and life-threatening cancer and which won't. It would be very difficult to say "no, let's go ahead and just watch that" to a woman with a suspicious lesion on her mammogram.
Many researchers and clinicians still think the benefits of screening mammography outweigh the risks. Doubts raised by the authors of these studies that question mammography in 40-50 year olds and over 70 year olds are still too weak shake many experts' belief in breast screening. Women cannot take the risk of not being diagnosed and treated and screening is a major way for this to happen. One of the troubles with any screening program is that it turns up people whom the disease would run a benign course...you overdiagnose in some instances and therefore overtreat that person. As it is not possible to distinguish between lethal and "harmless" cancers on an imaging study, all detected cancers are treated. Overdiagnosis and overtreatment are therefore inevitable. As the author of the JAMA study said, more studies will be needed to distinguish between slow growing and very aggressive tumors. But for now, if a woman wants to reduce her odds of dying of breast cancer (by at least 24%), then the current screening regimen should be followed. Besides just a cookie cutter approach to every female going to get an x-ray of the breast, public education campaigns should also be reinforced to teach women how to assess their own risk including not having kids till late in life, dense breast tissue, family history of breast cancer, genetic testing for BRCA gene, aging, taking female hormones for menopause symptoms, etc. This should be addressed on a case by case basis between an individual and her health care provider, and women should be made aware of the risks of possible overtreatment and overdiagnosis, radiation exposure, and limitations of screening mammography in picking up some quickly growing breast cancers that can be deadly. MRI can also be useful in picking up some lesions and later stage cancers that mammography may miss.
I also have a personal interest in this topic as my mom's life was saved by a screening mammogram. One year she had a normal study and the next year she had a breast cancer that was picked up on the yearly mammogram. It had already spread microscopically to her lymph node, meaning it was an aggressive tumor and if she had just skipped a year or blown off that year's mammogram, she would have missed picking up the cancer and it would have likely spread beyond the breast and been metastatic by then which is often lethal. It should be noted she was in her late 60's at the time of her diagnosis, which means she falls in the 50-70 year old category that studies have demonstrated a clear benefit of yearly screening mammography. So it's hard to imagine backing down on mammograms in the absence of more sophisticated screening measures when you have a personal story like this one that make you so thankful for screening studies; many people besides myself have these stories since so many women are affected by breast cancer.

Press Association Sport understands eight parties have voiced an interest in the npower League One club, who went into administration in March and were deducted 10 points in the process which ended any hopes of promotion.
Appleton said: "A sale process has begun, I have spoken and met with a number of parties who have expressed an interest. To that end, I have set a deadline of May 31 for indicative offers from those interested parties."
Appleton also moved to clear up the confusion surrounding ownership rights of the Golden Share, which provides membership to the Football League and Football Association.
The Sky Blues, under hedge fund owners Sisu, placed the non-operating subsidiary of the club into administration in March, insisting it was business as usual as Coventry City Football Club (Holdings), which they claimed holds the crucial 'golden shares' which provide membership to the Football League and FA, operates as normal.
However, the Football League ruled the shares do in fact still lie with Coventry City Football Club Ltd, hence the points deduction. Appleton said: "Following information I have received from various stakeholders, I now believe the registration of the Golden Share lies with Limited.
"Holdings believe they have a beneficial ownership of the Share given the level of investment they have made and the fact the players contracts are in their name, together with many other important elements. This has seemingly been endorsed by the Football League, who have completed all current player registrations in the name of Holdings. In my opinion, the importance of the ownership of the Share has been exaggerated in the media and on social networks. Of course, it is a significant element but ownership does not necessarily mean control of the club.
"Just as important is the location of the players contracts, the right to use the name Coventry City and the right to sell season tickets - all of which Holdings assert is theirs.
"Should Holdings maintain their claim to a beneficial ownership of the Share, ultimately only the Court can overturn that. I am anxious to avoid such a lengthy process given the amount of uncertainty surrounding the club and am doing everything in my power to alleviate that uncertainty.
"If a suitable purchaser is identified, it will still be subject to the consent of the Football League and will also likely involve discussions between Holdings and that purchaser. The Football League holds its next Board Meeting on June 5 and I hope something can be resolved before then."

In 2008, the median weekly earnings of Hispanic women ($501) was surpassed by that of women of all other races: Asian ($753), white ($654) and blacks ($554), according to a July report by the U.S. Department of Labor.
Also, among women, Hispanics in 2008 were less likely than all other groups to be employed in management or professional jobs, at 24 percent. This is behind Asian women (46 percent), white women (41 percent) and black women (31 percent).
But the 24 percent among Hispanic women represents an increase, from 20 percent a decade ago.
This year's finalists were chosen from a field of 20 remarkable contenders, whom were selected and surveyed by HispanTelligence, the research arm of HispanicBusiness Media.
In this year's survey, about half of the respondents hold an advanced degree; another quarter holds a college degree.
This impressive statistic coincides with how Hispanic women across the nation have made steady gains in education.
Between 1998 and 2008, the share of female Hispanics age 25 and older who have experienced at least four years of college increased from 11.3 percent to 15.5 percent, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
One organization seeking to boost the academic performance of both genders is the Hispanic Women's Corporation, which every year grants scholarships to dozens of Hispanic youth.
The organization often seeks out students who could be considered at risk.
"It's real easy to go after the cream of the crop and say, 'they are wonderful'
-- and they are -- but on the other hand it's also important not to forget the ones that are always forgotten," Linda Mazon Gutierrez, the organization's president and CEO, told HispanicBusiness Magazine.
For instance, one recent scholarship recipient was the daughter of farm workers, who did her homework at night by the light of a propane lamp in a run-down trailer with no electricity. The high school girl from rural Arizona went on to earn her degree in kinesiology, and now works in the area of physical therapy.
This year's HispanTelligence survey also provides a glimpse into the lingering problem of discrimination.
Three quarters of the respondents said they have faced workplace discrimination based on gender. About a third said they've felt discrimination based on race.
"Being Hispanic and a woman, you do have to be twice as good," said Ms. Ortiz, U.S. Attorney for the District of Massachusetts.
As such, the role of diversity and affirmative action programs remains vital. Three quarters of this year's respondents say they have benefited from such initiatives.
Among them is Millie Garcia, California's first female Hispanic president of a California State University campus. For her, the savior was the de-segregation movement of the late 1960s.
Ms. Garcia, president of CSU's Dominguez Hills campus, was raised in a Brooklyn tenement surrounded by factories, where her parents worked. Newly drawn boundary lines seeking to de-segregate the students meant she would attend an upper-middle-class public elementary school.
The only Hispanic student in her class, Ms. Garcia learned French in second grade and played the violin.
"I fell in love with education," she told HispanicBusiness Magazine.
Alas, the movement came too late for her five older siblings, who, unlike her, were born in Puerto Rico. Although her siblings are now successful in their own careers, Ms. Garcia is the only member of the family with a bachelor's degree, which she earned at New York University. She also obtained her doctorate in higher education from Columbia University.
"I'm not smarter than them; I just had more opportunities," she told HispanicBusiness Magazine. "Anyone can do this if they work hard and have a good support network."
Benefiting from financial aid programs in college was Hilda Solis, who in 2009 made history by becoming the first female Hispanic U.S. Department of Labor Secretary.
As a high school student, Solis, who was among 15 finalists for the Woman of the Year issue in 2007 and is on HispanicBusiness Magazine's most recent list of 100 Influentials, had been hoping to land a job as a county clerk or receptionist. But her high school counselor knew she had promise, and told her she should apply to a four-year college.
"I said, 'What are you talking about? I can't afford college," she told HispanicBusiness Magazine in late February. "My parents can't afford it -- there's seven of us."
He helped her fill out a financial aid application, and she went to Cal-Poly Pomona on a full Cal-grant aid scholarship. The rest is history.
Hayes, the senior researcher with the Institute for Women's Policy Research, said Hispanic women still face many obstacles to workplace success.
For instance, he said, "they still have quite high fertility, which puts them more at risk for pregnancy discrimination, and lack of family leave issues."
Meanwhile, this year's survey respondents shared their secrets to success.
One said quality networking is key, which doesn't necessarily mean maintaining connections with everyone in your Rolodex.
"The truth is it is far more important to maintain a relationship with a smaller group of individuals," one of survey respondent wrote.
Another said it is good to "tell people what you want."
"It took me years to learn to do this," another finalist said. "I have found that when I asked for help or guidance, no one ever turned me down. Typically, people want to help each other succeed."

He remains one of the greatest musicians of the late twentieth century. 'Sweet Dreams' still brings dancefloors to life, but while Eurythmics were certainly significant in the pop world during the 1980s, there is more to David A Stewart than one killer tune.
Top selling singer-songwriter, record producer, multi-instrumentalist and music entrepreneur: Dave Stewart has lived many lives. And with his first solo album in 14 years due for release, 'The Blackbird Diaries' features Stewart coming full circle in his musical life, returning to his blues roots. "Great music has to be real music coming from a genuine soulful place,†Stewart states. "And that's how I make my own music and sing my own songs.â€
From his home town of Sunderland, Stewart was first inspired by the blues during the 1960s."I was about 13,†Dave recalls, "and my cousin sent me these blues records from Memphis. I learnt guitar listening to these records - the blues were speaking to me.â€
Thus began an enduring relationship, where the structure, sound and texture of blues infuse Dave Stewart's signature sound. "Everything I do has the blues in it,†Dave states. "Like 'Sweet Dreams' — while 30 percent electronic - is still blues. There's magic in the blues.â€
Dave first cut his teeth in the industry with folk-rock band Longdancer, securing a record deal when still a teenager. In 1976, he was introduced to Annie Lennox, where they teamed with Peet Combes as The Tourists, enjoying some success towards the ends of the '70s. The next decade saw a huge shift for Stewart, as the Eurythmics gained global success with their unique electronic pop-rock sound. After the success of Eurythmics, Dave has remained a heavyweight in the industry, working with other leading names from Mick Jagger to Stevie Nicks and Joss Stone.
However, it was fate involving an Icelandic volcano that led Dave from London's Denmark Street to Nashville's Blackbird Studios and thus to the album, 'The Blackbird Diaries'. So named for the studio it was created in, 'The Blackbird Diaries' was recorded in only five days. But the story starts in May last year where, stuck in London and unable to reach home, Dave wandered down Denmark Street and into a vintage guitar shop. The sight of a guitar once belonging to alternative country singer Red River Dave forcibly struck Stewart, and he was suddenly inspired, to not only own the guitar and find out more about Red River Dave, but to also travel to Nashville.
This new adventure led Stewart to Blackbird Studios and a host of incredible musicians. Drummer Chad Cromwell, bassist Michael Rhodes, keyboardist Mike Rojas, lapsteel guitarist Dan Dugmore and guitarist Tom Bukovac all feature — the result is similar to Dylan's timbre, Neil Young's country rock and the depth and raw complexity of The Rolling Stones.
Stewart calls it: "a little Dylanesque meets Leonard Cohen meets Tom Petty meets Lou Reed meets Johnny Cash sounding. When I work with other people, we try and combine the skill and emotion we're trying to express when we come together. It's very much a therapy session in a way. We write about things that are very personal, but do it in such a way that other people can relate.â€
From 'Magic In The Blues' to redolent country track 'Cheaper Than Free' and 'Country Wine' featuring The Secret Sisters, 'The Blackbird Diaries' portrays a very unique journey. "I don't like writing about things that don't matter to me,†Stewart muses. "It has to be personal. There's magic in the blues. I write about things that happened in my life and things that affected me. It's all about truth.â€
Dave Stewart supports Stevie Nicks at the Brisbane Riverstage December 3. 'The Blackbird Diaries' is out now.

The Simpson-Bowles committee's recommendations oughta look pretty good to some of those who spoke loudest against it.
I will state again that no matter what anyone in government says, it is my firm belief that we do not have a revenue problem, we have a spending problem. Someone please see if by using logic, reasoning, and facts you can persuade and convince me I am wrong. No emotional arguments, just straight hard, logic, reasoning, and facts. For each and every increase in the amount of money spent by the government, or for keeping any expenditure at the current level, someone says we can't do without, I 'll bet I can give you something that could be cut that "costs" just as much or more.

Anonymous asked: Total newbie question - do you actually have sex with clients, or is it a sort of "everything but" situation? If you are having sex, how is it different from prostitution (or is it)? Is it not considered prostitution because the money is not going directly from client to you (I assume it goes through the dungeon)? Seriously, no judging here, I'm just honestly curious as to how it all works. Thanks for taking questions! Really cool of you.
No problem.
While there are some escorts who do BDSM work in addition to their full services, many (most!) dominatrices do not offer full services.
Typically, pro-BDSM is about the power exchange, skilled fetish/BDSM play (which is a specific skill set), and, of course, the openness to discuss/interact with desires and feelings that are considered more taboo that the typical sex stuff.
I, personally, do not engage in full services. In the dungeon I'm employed by, none of us do any kind of sex with clients—not full sex, not oral sex, not anal sex, not tit wanking, not hand jobs, not foot jobs (yes, that's a thing). Basically, the only interaction I have with dicks is when I am causing them pain or discomfort, and it's never for an extended period of time.
I'm surprised this hasn't been asked by someone on here before (sex worker community FTW, I guess!). I mean, it's a bit surprising, though, considering that even clients who should know better sometimes think that they should be the exception to the rule.
Hope that answers your question!

Yayoi Kusama is best known for her polka-dotted sculptures, outfitting gourd-like objects, trees, animals, and whole mirrored rooms with what is now a trademark obsessive patterning. Her hallucinatory visions have traveled around the world, producing what are both whimsical and frightening landscapes of endlessly reproducing space within gallery and museum walls.
In an installation called The Obliteration Room at the Gallery of Modern Art in Brisbane, Kusama assembled a large domestic interior, fully furnished with a piano, a television set, chairs, tables, sofas, and various other home decorations that were blanketed in a uniform coat of white paint. The space was to become a literal blank canvas for the museum's youngest audience to plaster over with thousands of boldly colored circular stickers. As simple as the concept is, it took no time at all to see an incredibly rich transformation of space. It gets crazier, so !
Over time, the stickers accumulated, building on the walls and spilling over onto furniture, light fixtures, and table settings. The once stark interior was quickly transformed into a surreal environment, overwhelmed with a swarm of dots following no operational logic. Though Kusama's immersive infinities usually capture the vague unease of a living nightmare more than a lucid dream, this latest project appears to ride on the creative whims of children to lighten the mood a little.

Margaery Tyrell : The Price
June 17, 2012 in A Clash of Kings, Fan-Art, Fan-Fic, Game Of Thrones, House Tyrell, Season 2 by Margaery Tyrell
Funny how the game changes in the blink of an eye, the slight of an angry brother, and the flight of a raven. It seemed just moments ago that I was standing before the death bed of my young, handsome, dead husband Renly, listening to the whispered counsel of Lord Petyr Baelish who always had the look that he knew more than he was actually telling.
I don't know if I trust that one. . . Lord Baelish. Littlefinger, some called him, though he liked it not. He would not be a good enemy to make. As Lord Baelish himself pointed out, he did come to me and my brother Loras – not Stannis – after Renley fell victim to the red priestess' dark shadow. Some say Renly's killer was Brienne of Tarth, the newest member of his own Rainbow Guard, but my brother Loras believes with all conviction it was not her despite the fact she was in Renley's tent when he died. I trust my brother, and they both have the right of it, Stannis has the most to gain by Renley's death, of that I am certain.
Lord Baelish counsels us that joining with the Lannisters is the best and quickest path toward revenge. Would that the union were as simple as he portends it to be. They will not likely forget that we first joined the self-proclaimed King Renley Baratheon against them. The past is rarely an easy thing to forget.
But Renley is dead, and Lord Baelish seemed to think a raven may change some things. Apparently, he was correct, and quite an adept player of the game.
"I want to be the Queen." I advised Lord Baelish in the tent near the crashing waters of Storm's End. I would like to be a good queen who does good things, and holds the love of my people, I thought. But, if rumors of this boy king who sat the Iron Throne were true, the task would not be an easy one, no matter how kind and gentle the Queen's heart that beat inside.
Now, at King's Landing, in the court of a boy king who could be mad, I stood listening to that same boy as he declared his Lord Grandfather, Tywin Lannister, Saviour of the City in the battle against the pretender king Stannis Baratheon, and formally naming Lord Tywin Hand of the King. I stood and contemplated the possible future that still hung precariously in the balance.
Loras, my dear brother, still grieved for his king Renly, I knew, but secret was his grief. Secret from all but me. Loras and I held no secrets between us. To the Lannisters, the enemy, and King's Landing, Loras showed the jubilation of a battle well fought. I knew in my heart, however, that he was being strong for the family. . .and for me. My brother lost a great deal upon Renley's death; a long, close friendship was suddenly gone, and would never be forgotten, despite a victory on the field of battle.
I stood as King Joffrey bestowed the great, ghostly Harrenhal upon Lord Baelish for his "ingenuity" in bringing the houses of Lannister and Tyrell together. Cerci, the Queen Regent, sat at the right hand of her son, and fair Lady Sansa in the balcony was watching and hanging on every word. How would Sansa feel in the next few minutes? How would I feel if my bonds to the man who beheaded my father as a traitor were severed?
I stood as King Joffrey called forth my brother Loras, as Loras knelt before the boy king in his fine armor with his long sword at his side, and as the King declared his debt to our family for coming to the aide of the Lannisters and city. Name anything, the King told my brother.
I stood as my brother declared me still innocent after the death of my "husband", and as he asked the King for the honor of joining our houses with our marriage.
"Is this what you want, Lady Margaery?" The boy king asked of me, his eyes taking in the full scope of what he saw. I smiled a sweet smile and stepped forward holding my head high.
"With all my heart, your Grace." I declared before all the Gods and the Court gathered to witness the grand affair of victory. "I have come to love you from afar. Tales of your courage and wisdom have never been far from my ears, and those tales have taken root, deep inside of me." I lied demurely.
I stood as the King declared that he too had heard tales of my beauty and grace. I looked quickly at the Lady Sansa. Was her heart racing now, as mine was, in this mummer's farce? I stood as the farce continued and both the King's Small Counsel and the High Septon, through Grand Maester Pycelle, proclaimed it would be in the best interest of all involved if Joffrey set aside the betrothed Lady, set aside the daughter of a traitor who was beheaded for treason and whose brother was in open rebellion against the throne.
"You will be my queen, and I will love you from this day until my last day." King Joffrey proclaimed, chin out and smug look firmly in place on his countenance.
I stood, as the room cheered, and contemplated the price that would eventually be paid for our union.

Melanie wants the fuels project documents from Max, but he won't budge. He won't let his little sister get caught up in a war between the Kiriakises and DiMeras. Melanie, not wanting to alienate her brother, manages to look over the documents before Max catches her red handed. When she shows up at EJ's, Melanie writes down the blue prints using her photographic memory. EJ is impressed, but wary. Melanie wants to screw Philip over, but also wants a cash advance. EJ intends to have his people check her "work" before a payday.
Philip breaks the news to Brady and Stephanie that Melanie has been fired. Brady thinks Philip could've handled the situation more diplomatically, and Stephanie lays into Philip saying he's not the man she thought she was falling in love with. Philip guesses he's not. He tells her whether she wants to admit it or not, she likes the bad guy image. Stephanie blushes, but holds her ground as Philip invites her to lunch. Stephanie declines, but the two happen to run into each other at the Brady pub. Philip apologizes for acting like a jerk, and proposes to start over with their relationship. Stephanie agrees, but when Melanie shows up in a pleasantly good mood after her meeting with EJ, it leaves Philip thinking she's up to something.
EJ sets his and Nicole's wedding date without consulting her. This doesn't sit well with Nicole, and EJ encourages her to take 10k and put a deposit on a dress. However, Nicole calls up Brady and pays him back the money she borrowed from him. He asks if she paid off Dr. Baker and she confirms, but is worried he's coming back for more. Nicole admits she's made some horrible choices in this whole ordeal. She thanks Brady for all of his help, but can't keep him involved any longer and runs off. Deciding to take matters into his own hands, Brady tracks down Dr. Baker and threatens him to stay away from Nicole. Meanwhile, when Nicole goes home, EJ apologizes and they kiss and make up. Alone, Nicole receives a call from birth mama Mia asking about "her" baby.
Rafe is holding baby Grace and she begins to cry. Sami rushes in and gets Grace to stop, but Sami becomes emotionally affected and misses her other children. Rafe flirts with the idea that Sami could end this, and take her home with one phone call to EJ. Sami considers, but ultimately decides that she's gone so far to hide Grace from the DiMeras, and she can't give in now. Later, Sami learns from the paper that she and Nicole gave birth on the same day. She continues to read that Nicole and EJ have picked a day to marry and tells her baby that she has half the mind to show up and stop the wedding, but she won't because protecting Grace is her number one priority.

Why Mountain Ridge ?
The Monsoon Palace Suite
Anyone visiting India would be cheating himself or herself if they didn't get a taste of Indian countryside. It's not that difficult. Udaipur is surrounded by natural beauty on all sides and within a few minutes, one can be up in the hills, where peace reigns: the only sounds may be those of the birds or an occasional buffalo. From the aspects of proximity to the city as well as the countryside, access and utter, unspoiled beauty, staying at Mountain Ridge in Sisarma is a good choice. The little village is just at the back of Lake Pichola and has easy access to Udaipur around the lakeside lane or via the main road from Chetak Circle or Brahmpol. Once you get to Sisarma, the scenery changes dramatically. Here the panorama opens up into the wide river valley stretching away to the surrounding mountain slopes. For those who enjoy hiking, cycling, bird-watching or merely relaxing in the peace and quiet, this area is simply perfect! Just beyond Sisarma are some of the prettiest country tracts; these are also the least well known. There are a variety of minor routes that climb mountain passes or thread through valleys where you may never see another vehicle, let alone another tourist. The mountainous area just west of Sisarma is a terrain that, towards the end of the monsoon season, resembles Wales with the gentle green hills dappled with patches of trees, dry stone walls, rocky outcrops and crystal-clear, gushing streams. It is only when one sees a passing or tribesman or an occasional palm tree that one is brought back to India. A five-minute stroll from Mountain Ridge through the village will take you to the western shore of Lake Pichola where you can enjoy an uninterrupted panorama of the Old City, the islands and the palaces across the water. Sisarma is a charming, utterly traditional village of about 2000 people. It moves at the typical slow pace of such villages, and you may remark that a lot of people seem to spend a lot of time just sitting around chatting. Well, they do. Nobody here seems to die of stress! Udaipur is a fascinating city with much to recommend it, but as with all Indian cities, it is not peaceful, so even if you choose to spend the day shopping or sightseeing, its certainly recommended to travel the short distance to Mountain Ridge for a perfect evening and a peaceful night. Mountain Ridge is unusual in style. The architecture is contemporary, rustic and non-conformist. Every effort has been made to ensure that it fits in with the immediate environment, and that it is pleasant to be in. The atmosphere is one of space, light and airiness. In the hot months the doors and windows can be opened to give cooling cross-ventilation yet in the cold weeks of the winter with logs blazing in the fireplace there is nowhere cosier. Each bedroom is en-suite and has a private balcony with amazing views. The lawns are spacious and the flowerbeds give splashes of colour around the garden. There are several private corners for a tete-a-tete and a pleasant barbeque area. Mountain Ridge has a friendly, intimate atmosphere that will calm and relax you. We can provide lunchtime snacks and substantial, delicious evening meals. Laundry service Massage Horse-riding and countryside trekking arranged.
