February 1, 2013
Covenant Transportation Group, Chattanooga, Tenn., saw its revenue rise nearly 10% over last year's fourth quarter and its net income turn positive compared to a loss.<!stop> Similarly, for the year, total revenue increased 3.3% and the company reported net income of $6.1 million compared to a net loss of $14.3 million in 2011.
For the fourth quarter, Covenant reported total revenue of $177.5 million, an increase of 9.6% compared with the fourth quarter of 2011. Freight revenue of $140 million (excludes revenue from fuel surcharges), was up 9.8% compared with the fourth quarter of 2011.
Quarterly operating income was $5.1 million and the operating ratio was 96.3%, compared with operating income of $1.2 million and an operating ratio of 99.1% in the fourth quarter of 2011; and net income of $1.5 million, or $0.10 per share, compared with a net loss of $2.2 million, or ($0.15) per share in the fourth quarter of 2011.
For the year , total revenue increased 3.3%, to $674.3 million from $652.6 million for 2011. Freight revenue, which excludes revenue from fuel surcharges, increased 3.3%, to $529.1 million in 2012 from $512.0 million in 2011.
The company reported net income of $6.1 million, or $0.41 per share, for 2012 compared to a net loss, including impairment charges, of $14.3 million, or ($0.97) per share in 2011. On a non-GAAP basis, without impairment charges, the company's net loss would have been $4.9 million, or ($0.33) per share for 2011.
"Our fourth quarter results marked continued year-over-year improvement in our financial and operating performance," said Chairman, President, and CEO David R. Parker. "Consistent with our strategic plan, we allocated assets toward refrigerated and high-value team operations, reduced exposure to solo dry van operations, and increased our use of owner-operators.
"In addition, substantial focus on yield management, equipment control, and our drivers' employment experience contributed to a significant increase in asset productivity."
As a result, Covenant's asset-based operating ratio improved approximately 350 basis points versus the 2011 quarter, while its balance sheet leverage improved.
Average freight revenue per tractor per week increased to $3,509 during the 2012 quarter from $3,079 during the 2011 quarter. Average freight revenue per total mile increased by 11.2 cents per mile (or 7.9%) compared to the 2011 quarter and average miles per unit increased by 5.6%.
The main factors impacting the improved utilization were a 175 basis point increase in the percentage of the fleet made up of team-driven tractors and improved use of technology.
Net fuel cost provided a significant benefit during the 2012 quarter, improving by approximately 3.4 cents per company mile compared with the fourth quarter of 2011. Higher fuel prices were offset by improved fuel economy, benefits from fuel hedging, and improved fuel surcharge recovery.
"We expect to continue managing our idle time and truck speeds, investing in more fuel-efficient tractors, and partnering with customers to adjust fuel surcharge programs which are inadequate to recover a fair portion of rising fuel costs," Parker said.
Capital costs fell by approximately $1.1 million. This was primarily attributable to a decrease in company-owned tractors and trailers due to fleet downsizing and greater use of owner-operators.

The spring issue of Disney twenty-three magazine hits stands February 1, loaded with articles to delight both Disney fans and the general public.
The cover story gives readers a stem-to-stern tour of Disney Cruise Line's awe-inspiring new ship, Disney Dream, a mighty 4,000 passenger vessel equipped with cutting-edge technology and activities and entertainment for ultimate family fun on the high seas. Featuring an exclusive guided exploration of this third and largest ship in the Disney fleet, the spring issue of Disney twenty-three lets readers learn exciting details from the Imagineers who helped transform their creative vision into one of the world's most spectacular floating vacation spots.
Imagineer Joe Lanzisero steers readers through the ideas that percolated early on in the minds of his fellow Imagineers as the seemingly impossible details for the Disney Dream took shape and became reality. Readers will discover how the design team conquered new cruise challenges such as providing every stateroom on board with an ocean view (even the interior cabins!) as well as giving guests a way to safely steal a look 12 feet over the side of the ship itself. In talking about the design process, Lanzisero claims it was "…like watching a great musician or a great dancer create. It just happens before your eyes; you never think about what goes into it."
Disney twenty-three's spring issue also includes an exclusive interview with Sir Elton John discussing his participation in Disney's new animated feature film, Gnomeo & Juliet, a picturesque and comedic retelling of Shakespeare's traditional love story that now stars garden gnomes. Sir Elton talks about how the film inspired him to spoof his own music, adding that "every artist should have a sense of humor about himself. Nothing is sacred. I think poking fun at yourself is one of the greatest things you can do." He also chats about recording a duet with Lady Gaga called 'Hello Hello" and provides surprising insight about other songs included in the film.
The spring issue also celebrates the 25-year collaboration between composer Danny Elfman and filmmaker Tim Burton, presenting fans with a retrospective of the quirky fruits of their collaborations. Elfman reveals the creative process behind their sometimes funny and sometimes eccentric, but always unforgettable, creations.
There's much more in the spring issue of Disney twenty-three, including:
- GOOD TASTE IS TIMELESS: Highlights the history and tradition of the refreshing beer called Radeberger that is served at Epcot's Germany Pavilion.
- INSIDE AT DISNEY'S EXCLUSIVE TALK, SQUAWK & SQUEAK CLUB: Disney twenty-three chats it up with the personalities who give voice to Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy and Pluto. Plus meet the all-star cast of Disney Channel's new animated series, Jake and the Never Land Pirates.
- THE ADVENTURE OF A LIFETIME: Walt Disney Archives Director Becky Cline leads a rich trip back in time, packed with vivid photos and travel tales giving readers an incredible insight into Walt and Lilly's voyages abroad.
- SEAS THE DAY: Take a dive at Epcot: It's a whole new world as Disney twenty-three Editor-in-Chief Carmen Capone goes scuba diving and comes face to face with a shark!
- THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM: Richard Kraft, agent to musical talents Danny Elfman, Alan Menken, Richard Sherman and others, packs his Encino, California, home with vintage Disney treasures… including, of course, a Dumbo attraction vehicle from Walt Disney World.
- 23 QUESTIONS WITH… Imagineer, attraction designer and Disney Legend Bob Gurr.
- A WALK WITH WALT 1939: WORLDS TO CONQUER: Even as Walt crafted his groundbreaking Fantasia, construction crews were breaking ground on his brand new studios in Burbank.
- D SOCIETY: Alan Menken, Leonard Maltin and some very popular D23 Members (even a duo direct from Tokyo!) are all in the spotlight.
- PHOTOfiles: Disney twenty-three's ninth installment of rare pictures from the Disney Photo Library takes readers from a 1941 photo shoot with Walt to visits back home to Marceline and to the set of Mary Poppins.
- GOOD MOUSEKEEPING: This issue of Disney twenty-three debuts a new column featuring classic Disney comics originally published in the 1930s and early 1940s in Good Housekeeping magazine. Once a staple in the pages of the magazine, these charming and nostalgic illustrations now come alive in the pages of Disney twenty-three where fans can appreciate them anew.
And there's even more for Disney fans to explore! As with every issue of Disney twenty-three, D23 Members receive an added bonus. This issue comes with an exclusive D23 Expo 2011 luggage tag featuring the beloved chipmunks Chip and Dale that will be shipped to members exclusively.

Laudrup Confident With Squad Depth
Swansea City manager Michael Laudrup says he is confident that his squad has the strength in depth to cope with the recent injuries and suspensions to three defenders.
Neil Taylor will miss the rest of the season with a broken ankle. Chico Flores will miss three games after a red card against Sunderland, while fellow centre back Kyle Bartley will be sidelined for three months after a thigh injury suffered in training.
Despite the defensive setbacks, manager Michael Laudrup is confident his squad will cope with the absentees. He also hopes to have Ki Sung Yeung available after picking up a knock in a mid-week international match.
In defence, Alan Tate, Ben Davies and Dwight Tiendalli compete for the holes left behind by Taylor and Chico, while in midfield, Laudrup also has Pablo Hernandez available as a wing option. He's likely to feature on the bench with Routledge and Dyer keeping their starting positions.
Speaking about the defensive losses in his squad, Laudrup said:
"It has been a bad couple of weeks,'
'We all remember what happened to Neil and after that we have had another injury, not as serious, but a very difficult and rare muscle injury for Kyle.
"Then of course we have Chico suspended for three matches. It`s typical, to lose three defenders like this.
"But we have a squad and we have prepared them to play from the beginning, we did not think about serious injuries at that time but we are covered, we have players.
"Dwight is coming in to cover left-back so we don`t only have Ben for the rest of the season and I think we are covered."
Laudrup also says there's a lot of confidence within the squad, thanks to their unbeaten start to the season:
"We can draw a lot from the Sunderland game, but at the same time that was two weeks ago now,"
"We have another cycle of games coming up now with three league games and the cup tie with Crawley before the next international break.
"It is important that we stick to what we know and keep doing the things that have brought us success so far. We have a lot of confidence, and that is very important.
"But we can always improve, and that should be the mentality."

"Shenzhou-VI will be blasted into space sometime next year," Zuo Saichun, a spokesperson of the China Aerospace Science and Technology (CAST), told China Daily. "The spacecraft will make new breakthroughs in China's manned space technology."
China's space authorities gave the first official statement and details of China's next space adventure ahead of the Fifth Airshow in Zhuhai in Guangdong Province in south China.
Unlike Shenzhou-V, which flew with a single astronaut for 21 hours and 30 minutes in October last year, the next flight will see two astronauts fly in space for five days.
The capsule will be capable of orbiting for a whole week, Zuo said.
"For the first time, astronauts will enter and live in the orbital module of the spacecraft to do scientific experiments," a statement from CAST, the major manufacturer of the manned spacecraft and its launch vehicle said.
About Shenzhou-VI, it said, scientists have optimized the spacecraft's configuration to reduce its weight, and tried to improve the performance of on-board equipment.
The scientists have worked to guarantee the energy supply of the spacecraft and further improve its reliability and safety. They have also worked out solutions to problems pertaining to environmental control and life support.
Shenzhou-VI will be sent into orbit atop a Long March 2F carrier rocket. It contains three modules for propelling, orbiting and re-entry.
China only third nation to put man in space
China would display a model of the Chang'e-I satellite, which is expected to be sent to orbit the moon in two years at the Airshow. The satellite, part of the three-stage programme, would be followed by the landing of an unmanned vehicle on the moon in the second stage by 2010 and collecting samples of lunar soil by 2020 in the final stage.
In addition to obtaining a three-dimensional image of the lunar surface, Chang'e-I will also analyse the content and distribution of useful elements on the moon surface, measure the density of lunar soil and explore space between the earth and the moon, the report said.

American Idol's Chris Medina Teaches Ultimate Life Lesson in SportsJanuary 27, 2011
I promised myself I wouldn't watch American Idol on Fox this season. With Simon Cowell off the panel, I didn't want to invest my time in another show that features Randy Jackson, know what I mean, dawg?
Wednesday night, however, I found myself channel surfing and caught the tail-end of A-I in Milwaukee.
I'm extremely grateful I did.
I still find Jackson annoying. Jennifer Lopez is pretty to look at, but doesn't offer much, and Steven Tyler has surprisingly been informative and entertaining. The judges won't be an issue, but the real reason why I'm going to watch this season is because of Chris Medina.
In case you haven't heard of this incredible 26-year-old, check out his audition just below.
If that doesn't bring you to tears then you are simply not human. Medina is an incredible person and it's people like him that make me want to be a better person.
Could you imagine your entire world changing like that?
One minute you are planning for your wedding, the next you're feeding and dressing your handicapped fiancée.
I give Medina a lot of credit for sticking around. I would like to think that most of us would do the same, but honestly, how many of us would be strong enough to do what he is doing.
Medina is still engaged to his wife Juliana, who suffered brain damage after a car accident back in August of 2009. He and Juliana's mother are the primary caretakers of his fiancée, and judging from the video, you can see the commitment and love they have for each other.
Medina, a barista just outside of Chicago, Illinois, said it best on A-I Wednesday night: "What kind of man would I be if I left when she needed me the most?" That shows tremendous character, love, passion and commitment.
Medina is an incredibly talented singer and I am pulling for him and his fiancée to come out on top. I may even vote this year, as long as he makes the cut.
Everyone will be rooting for Medina when the competition starts, including the judges. They requested to meet her after his audition, and Steven Tyler even gave Juliana a heart-warming kiss and let her know "he's good because he sings for you."
What an amazing moment on television.
Medina's story is truly an inspiration and puts sports and life into perspective. Sometimes we get caught up in wins, losses and statistics and forget what really matters. It's not about how you perform when things are going good; it's about how you are able to respond when adversity strikes.
Medina represents all that is good in the world and I'm glad I stumbled upon his story Wednesday night. It makes me want to be a better person and highlights what makes any competition or sport worthwhile and special—overcoming adversity.
Good luck Chris, you already have my vote.

SALEM – Page Moir is now the all-time winningest basketball coach in Old Dominion Athletic Conference history. Moir passed the late coach Bob Johnson, who was a legend at Emory & Henry, for the most career wins by an ODAC coach when the Maroons beat Goucher College in Salem last Sunday, 90-86.
With the win Moir now has 370 career wins as an ODAC coach, all with Roanoke College. It was the first win of the season for the Maroons, who opened with three straight defeats, as Adam Kessler hit a pair of three-point baskets in overtime to highlight the RC victory.
Both teams entered the contest looking for their first victory of the season. The game was even through the first four minutes, where the teams were tied, 11-11. Over the next three minutes, the Maroons fired off an 8-0 run, including six points from Kwasi Amponsah, that gave them a 19-11 lead at the 13:25 mark. The Gophers did not back down at that point as they came back with a 10-3 run of their own to tie the game at 21-21.
With seven minutes remaining in the first half Goucher started to pull away but Kessler and Jack Hamilton hit a pair of baskets to pull the Maroons close. Hamilton, the Maroon's leader in field goal percentage at 49.5 percent, knocked down two more baskets befor a Goucher time out to give the Maroons a 36-33 lead with four minutes until halftime.
The Maroons entered the locker room with a 43-37 lead after a Clay Lacy put-back as time expired. Lacy and Amposah led Roanoke after the first half with 11 points while Logan Singleton led with seven rebounds to go with six points.
Both teams caught fire late in the second half, hitting 11 consecutive baskets between the two teams over a two minute period. Kessler hit the final basket of the run to tie the game at 69-69. The two teams were scoreless for the next two minutes until Hamilton knocked down a three to end that run and earn a 72-69 lead. Goucher answered when Marcus Cotton drained a jumper for a tie at 75-75. With 26.5 seconds left the Maroons held the ball for the final shot of the game, but lost the ball and the game headed to overtime.
Kessler opened the overtime period knocking down a three-pointer. Hamilton extended the lead to five with a put-back off a Maroon miss, pushing the score to 82-77. Kessler drained another three at 2:46 to extend the lead to eight. Goucher rallied to cut the lead to two at 88-86 with six tenths of a second remaining, but Singleton hit both free throws and put the game out of reach as the Maroons won, 90-86.
Five Maroons finished in double figures, with Amponsah leading the charge with a career-high 24 points. He also tied his career-high in assists with six.
Singleton followed with 20 points, Hamilton had 16, Lacy 14, and Kessler had career-highs with 14 points and six field goals made. Hamilton also ended the game with a team-high 11 rebounds, earning his second consecutive double-double after a 20 point, 16 rebound effort at Bluefield State.
At 1-3 the Maroons were scheduled to return to action on Wednesday at Washington & Lee. On Saturday Roanoke will host Lynchburg College at 1 pm at the C. Homer Bast Center in Salem, and that will be followed by a game between the RC women and Emory & Henry.

The city is divided into four sections with each connected by only a few roads. The most northern section is called Jackson Heights and just south is Beacon Hill. The central area is called City Core and the most southern part is Coal Harbor. There's an airport in the City Core district.
City Core
This region is available to players at the beginning of the title's career mode. It resembles a typical large city center as it features some tall buildings but also features regions where there are only small houses and narrow alleyways. It's surrounded by a mostly elevated interstate known as Highway 27.
There's also an underground tunnel running through the center of the core. There are five hidden shops in this area; 2 body shops, a car specialties shop, a graphics shop and a performance shop. There's also a non-hidden performance shop, a car lot and the player's only garage.
Hotel Plaza
A relatively big district occupying the north-western side of City Core. There are many hotels and other large buildings as well as skyscrapers.
The roads are mostly wide with only a few alleys but players can reach high speeds in this area as many of the roads are almost straight. There are some Konopa Plaza signs in this area.
City Center
The north-east area of the region features an underground freeway that players can drive along to reach Beacon Hill or Freeway 27. City Avenue runs through here. City Center is Bayview's downtown core, with many tall buildings and business headquarters, including the Suomi Lewis building.
A small district near South Market containing Cooper Field, Eskuri Arena, and some large parking facilities. All Stadium Drift race events occur in Cooper Field.
This is the only area where Freeway 27's lanes divide around the Stadium. A Car Specialty Shop can be found within this district.
South Market
The middle of southern City Core features a notable Asian population due to the presence of Asian signage throughout. The district features many race events due to its small alleyways and wide main roads which both feature progressive turns.
There are multiple casinos in South Market and an animated canopy similar to the Fremont Street Experience in Las Vegas, Nevada. Jackpot Casino and Bingo Club is near the canopy. Another major landmark is the large casino that crosses over roads quite a few times.
Fort Union
The east area of City Core is Fort Union. Fort Union is often confused with El Norte because in Explore Mode, the Fort Union name appears on the screen when one enters El Norte and Fort Union. Fort Union Square located in the centre of the district contains wider than usual roads as players can drive onto the pavement.
Fort Union is also a residential district with multiple condos and apartments.
El Norte
The south-eastern area in Bayview is El Norte. El Norte is an average "lower eastside" district because of its darker roads and alleys. The Bayview EL line is affluent here, criss-crossing above the roads. Graffiti can be seen everywhere. There is also a construction site, basketball court, and Best Buy in El Norte.
Bayview International Airport
Bayview International Airport appears to be modelled after Dulles International Airport in Virginia.
Beacon Hill
This is the second area players will unlock access to and is heavily based on Beverly Hills. It is the lower mountainside of Jackson Heights and contains extremely curvy roads.
Beacon Hill East
Beacon Hill East is the eastern area of Beacon Hill. It houses a few stores and some hotels as well as Bayview City Hall including a pink sculpture nearby. The column of Beacon Hill East appears to be modelled after Nelson's Column in Trafalgar Square, London. Beacon Hill East has a few tall buildings as well as a mall.
Beacon Hill West
Beacon Hill West runs from the end of Beacon Hill East to the coast. These two areas are very similar and features many clubs along the road decorated with colourful lights.
Roads are a very technical curvy encompassing wide multi-lane streets, narrow alleys and shortcuts. West has a gas station, beach, switchbacks, a Burger King, and the Imperial Hotel.
Pigeon Park
Pigeon Park is an area referred to as Brad Lawless Park in the title. It occupies the eastern end of Beacon Hill and the area east of the bridge. It only has one road with a short-cut through a greenhouse and a restaurant. There is also a monument off the side of the road.
Jackson Heights
Jackson Heights is located high up in the mountains of Bayview containing tricky turns, short straights and a variety of technical routes. It is the only area where players can drift along an open road with traffic.
This area has only two hidden shops; a Body shop and a Graphics shop.
At the north-east there's an observatory which is modelled after the Griffith Observatory in the hills above Los Angeles. The entire city of Bayview can be seen from the peak of the mountain as well as a "BAYVIEW" sign styled after the Hollywood Sign.
Jackson Heights has an events center and gardens in the west. In the east, there are numerous mansions and a polo club. The north has the summit and a broadcasting tower. The observatory area also includes a car park, Capilano Heights, and a museum.
Coal Harbor
Coal Harbor is the most southern area of the city and is unlocked in two sections. The district is an industrial complex featuring many narrow roads.
Coal Harbor East
Coal Harbor East is the first section of Coal Harbor that players will unlock. The district connects Coal Harbor with the City Core. Players can find four hidden shops and a car lot in this area.
The district contains some old houses, a steel mill, electronics manufacturing area, business centre and a port. There are three highways running to the rest of the city; Highway 7 runs directly to the City Core, the Coal Harbor Freeway runs a bit out of the way before heading into the city core and the Airport Freeway leading to the Airport.
Coal Harbor West
Coal Harbor West is the final area that players unlock. It only has three hidden shops. The area contains heavy industries, a port and rail yards as well as a Nuclear Power Plant.
Bayview Speedwaydyno is located.

Hey, I'm lovin' the look of the new premium theme, Headlines. Having been in magazine publishing (and will soon be publishing my own niche pub.) this is a great tool for Word.com. I especially love the slider option. Having said that, I read on the Woo site they were somewhat concerned that their server may not be able to handle the load? Should we we worried about this?
Anyway, I tried it out on my existing portfolio and I have to say it looks pretty good! Love the way it makes my writing samples look -- much more visually appealing without sacrificing content (text). It didn't appear to show all the categories on the top navigation bar however...only showed two.
I assume I can fix that if/when I actually buy it. (It was only in Preview mode after all.)
Anyone bought this theme? I'd be curious to get some feedback--especially how it will work as a writer's portfolio.
The blog I need help with is jennikeast.wordpress.com.

Towie stars pay tribute to man shot dead
Stars of The Only Way Is Essex have paid tribute to a man shot in the car park of a four-star hotel.
The victim, named in reports as Paul Simmons-Turner, 30, was ambushed by his killer outside the Marriott Hotel in Waltham Abbey, Essex, in a "targeted attack" on Tuesday morning.
He managed to flag down a passing couple in their car, who drove him to the nearby Volunteer pub at around 10am.
Mr Simmons-Turner was treated by paramedics but died at the scene.
Friends, including some of the Towie cast, have paid tribute to him online.
Model Jake Hall tweeted: "Can't stop thinking about my brother tonight! I miss you so much already the times we had was unforgettable".
He told the Mirror: "I have known him from when I was a young boy. It's just a bit of a shock."
Another Towie star, James Argent, 28, said: "I am really upset and I just want to keep it between family and friends."
Boxer Joe Selkirk wrote: "Feel sick! F*cking gutted!!" and he later posted: "RIP Simmo!" with a photograph of them together.
Detective Chief Inspector Marina Ericson said the murder was a "targeted attacked", and added: "The motive was directed towards the victim.
"The assailant appears to have been waiting for the victim in the car park at the Marriott Hotel.
"The victim was shot at and a chase ensued on foot during which the victim flagged down a vehicle belonging to a member of the public before being driven to the Volunteer pub.
"The suspect got back into a dark-coloured car being driven by an accomplice which made off."
The gunman remains on the run and no arrests have been made in connection with the shooting.
Mr Simmons-Turner was allegedly wanted by police in connection with a serious assault in May.
Any witnesses to the shooting are urged to call Essex Police on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

No exact release date was given, but interest parties are welcome to sign up now to be informed when they can drop the cash -- $39.99 on contract, to be exact, after the application of a total of $70 in rebates on a new two-year agreement. The little beast gives you full QWERTY (a Motorola first for iDEN), mil-spec 810F compliance for withstanding the worst you can throw at it, Bluetooth, GPS, and a VGA camera that isn't likely to win you any photography awards. Of course, if you want it that badly, you could just make the leap to Boost today -- but otherwise, stay tuned.

Where's the fun?
So it's time for another Apple event later today.
As usual I, like many other Apple fans, are eagerly anticipating to hear what is to be announced.
Or should I rephrase that…
I, like many other Apple fans, are waiting for confirmation of what's been rumoured for the last several months.
Initially rumoured, and then enhanced, tweaked and then pronounced as definite.
So I don't think I'll be spoiling anyones day by repeating that the two devices we should be seeing today are the new iPhone SE (the new smaller iPhone), and the new smaller iPad Pro supporting the Apple Pencil. Oh, and we'll probably also see the release of iOS 9.3 — an OS that has been in public beta for quite a while.
Don't get me wrong, if they do get announced, these will all be solid products, but I do miss the days of the surprise product announcements.
Apple are just so huge now, I suppose it's difficult to keep hardware products secret to the extent they used to be. They can still suprise with hardware — the cylindrical Mac Pro and the new single port MacBook spring to mind. But with iOS devices being produced on such a massive scale, I would imagine it's incredibly difficult, if not impossible to maintain a high level of secrecy.
I'm still looking forward to the event as it will still be fascinating to see how they position these new devices in their overall product line, and how they sell the benefits.
But I'm not expecting any major suprises today to dilute or distract from the iOS message they'll be delivering.
We most likely will need to wait for WWDC in June for any new Mac hardware… or dare I even mention, the fabled 5K Apple Cinema Display.
One can but hope!

Last month, 84-year old daredevil Mary Brooksbank, of Crowle, took a sky-dive from 15,000 feet and raised over £800 for a local charity.
And now, for her eighty-fifth birthday on August 28 this year, the intrepid widow is planning to do it all over again!
Mrs Brooksbank, of Brewery Road, is a former pilot and made parachute jumps many times in the past.
But her April jump, in tandem, was her first in over 45 years and was such a thrill, she said, that repeating the experience will be her birthday present to herself in the summer.
"It was an absolute thrill and it brought back happy memories for me," she told the Bells from her home this week.
"I had no aches or pains afterwards but felt full of energy. I can't wait to do it again."
She continued: "I was treated like royalty and if the Queen herself was to go I doubt she could be treated any better."
Mrs Brooksbank hopes to return to the same site, Hibaldstow Airfield, for her birthday jump, and said if people would like to sponsor her again then she would be pleased to donate more money to Lindsey Lodge Hospice.
The highly active pensioner has lived 'in the fast lane' since being a young woman.
She was the first woman to gain her pilot's licence in the whole of Wales in 1966. At that time she lived in Wales with her first husband and had to do two solo parachute jumps as part of her flying test.
And her strong spirit even won through when she had to down a pint of whisky, surrounded by her male counterparts, after gaining her 'wings' at Swansea.
Last year Mary, who also worked as a nurse and midwife for 64 years, had a cancer scare. But instead of taking things easy the experience just made her more determined to live life to the full.
She first learned to pilot so that she could fly to Germany and negotiate on steel for her then husband, who had an engineering business.
Then she got her own little plane and would fly for pleasure, to enjoy the freedom and the quiet of the skies, she said.
She has lived in the Isle for 28 years, and became a widow five years ago, after losing her second husband Peter.
Her April parachute jump followed two cancellations, but Mrs Brooksbank hopes all will be fine for her August plunge.

"It was a bit of a barn-burner to start the Brier," said Morris, who, like Koe, felt neither team played particularly well as the Tim Hortons Brier got under way at the Interior Savings Centre.
Three-time Brier winner Jeff Stoughton from Manitoba recovered from a slow start to beat Eddie MacKenzie and his Prince Edward Island rink 7-5.
Stoughton stole singles in six, seven and eight to overcome a 3-2 deficit and take control of a tight game.
Northern Ontario's Jeff Currie jumped to a 5-0 lead over New Brunswick's James Grattan in the second, scored two in four, four in six and two in eight to win 13-5 after Grattan shook hands.
Newfoundland and Labrador's Brad Gushue and Nova Scotia's Jamie Murphy were close until Gushue picked up a three in the eighth end and another in nine en route to a 7-2 win.
B.C. and Alberta were tied 6-6 after eight, blanked nine and, although he had the hammer, Koe had only long double runbacks to try and move a well-packed shot stone.
"You never want to leave Koe runbacks but when they're those type of runbacks you don't mind," said Morris, playing for his third province in the Brier.
He was recruited by Kamloops native Jim Cotter, who plays third but still throws fourth stones. Morris has played for Alberta and Ontario and threw third stones on Kevin Martin's 2010 Olympic gold-medal team.
"It's pretty neat, playing in the home town of course, but one thing with our team, once we hit the ice we focus on our sheets and just do everything we can to make shots.," said Cotter.
"That was pretty brutal," said Koe. "It was definitely not a classic out there. Neither team played good but that being said we're tied up with them we should win that game most of the time but we played a horrendous end."
Koe defeated Martin to claim the right to represent Alberta and make his third visit to the men's championship. After his 2010 win he went on to win the world championship.
The three steals were the key to Manitoba's win, after Mackenzie led 3-2 at one point and it was 3-3 going into the break.
"We were just putting rocks in good spots and making him make tough shots and it worked out well," said Stoughton, a two-time world champion and veteran of 11 Briers who won his first in Kamloops in 1996.
"We were playing really well so we thought we just keep the pressure on and they were making a ton of great draws and couple of hit and rolls and that's what you expect here."
He didn't need to throw his last rock in 10 after MacKenzie was light on his bid to draw behind cover.
Currie is representing Northern Ontario because last year's berth and Brier winner is still celebrating his Olympic gold medal win in Sochi.
Brad Jacobs couldn't qualify this year but starting in 2015 the previous year's winner will automatically have a berth, just like the women in their national championship.
"It's nice to break through finally and get to the Brier," he said after the convincing win over New Brunswick.
"I don't think that was the game plan (13) but we're not complaining about it. We got away with a few and they missed a few."
He said the ice changed a little from practice and it caught Grattan.

Grateful Dead
Realizing I am about to commit heresy, upon hearing the first notes of Stella Blue I always took my break. to me, the only good thing about Stella Blue was that it usually meant a Sugar Magnolia would follow. Space a close second.
He's Gone was always a snoozefest for me and just a perfect opportunity to dispense with the by-product of beers consumed at places like Cal Expo, Kaiser, Shoreline. The slower version of TLEO also qualified.
In my thirty+ '85-'95 shows, I rarely ever left a show to hit the bathroom, but if I ever really needed a break, "I Will Take You Home" was an easy answer (pun intended - I actually found that one perversely enjoyable in most instances), as was "We Can Run But We Can't Hide".
Lovely tunes, I supposed, but they just didn't seem to fit in with everything else going on, at least not to me.
And honestly, Bobby-era "Good Lovin'" never really did it for me either. I think I saw only one or two in all my shows, so that was fortunate for me. Pondering Pig's epic versions alongside the post-Shakedown St. versions always made me scratch my head as to why they even bothered.
But all that said, I loved that the Dead challenged us all musically, and had songs that not everyone of us loved every time. I can't BELIEVE how many people don't like Black Peter - that song pulled me in from the first time I heard it, and remains a favorite to this day. It's the perfect song as far as I'm concerned! Find me another song that sort of approximates a blues and then has a gorgeous undefinable bridge like that! Brilliant stuff from the deepest Hunter/Garcia depths! But then I'm sure some people will take issue with my choices, so I guess I get it. The band had a little something for everyone, and that was part of the magic.
Thanks to everybody who went out on the limb and answered this one. Long live the Dead, occasional clunkers and all!

Chicago, IL
... always drums. maybe it was just the pounding rhythm that set the system to "go" you know?
worst nightmare was standing in line in the ladies' room upon arrival to the venue, running late after an unusually difficult entry proccess and hearing the first chords to the show's opener ... "Help on the way ..." yeah, help on the way would have been a few more stalls!
It was Dark Star !! I only saw 2 really good Star's in my day one was in Jan 79 right b4 Keith and Donna were kicked out of the band and again in 91 @ MSG right after Brent died!! When i go see Ratdog and they start up Dark star i run out of the room !! It was bad enough for me when Jerry was Playing it!! That and Dear Mr Fantasy/Hey jude kill me!!
This is becoming really interesting! I love hearing how we all dealt with necessary breaks, songs we didn't particularly like, not wanting to miss a single thing, never wanting to leave our seats.... I'm personally aghast that anyone would ever leave during a Brent tune, but I'm notoriously freaky that way.
"For me, since I started going to shows only in '93... it would be Easy Answers. I've been to a bunch of shows but unfortunately had to see this one too many times. I would probably have to say the same for Eternity and for Way To Go Home."
Yeah, fustrated the sheit out of me...i got into the band and was listening to so many early (68-71) shows , losing my mind to 11 jams...and every other show i attended i caught a cheezy answers or a way to go vince... shoe fits, samba in the rain...walkin bluz...lots of bathroom breaks before too long...
As much as I loved Brent's B-3 playing, whenever it was one of his songs he sang, that was my cue to head to the head.
"Listenin' for the secret, searchin' for the sound..."
Without a doubt..........even at some of their best shows.........it was time to "go" when Johnny B Goode came on, cause it was truly a letdown.......should have called it Johhny B Bad!
For me it was "Death Don't have No Mercy," something about always gave me the hebbie jebbies. Even on record I just can't stand around & listen to it.
Deadhead since '69

Ros Casares won a heavyweight fight with UMMC Ekaterinburg on Wednesday night in EuroLeague Women Group A to send out a loud message about their title aspirations.
The Spanish powerhouse score the first 12 points of the contest and led the entire way at La Fonteta before winning 87-68 with Delisha Milton-Jones and Laia Palau scoring 19 points apiece.
In a dominating display, Isma Canto's Ros Casares took advantage of a UMMC team without injured point guard Celine Dumerc.
They forced Gundars Vetra's team to turn the ball over 20 times with seven of those miscues charged to USA international playmaker Cappie Pondexter.
Erika De Souza, who had 13 points and 12 rebounds for Ros, led the team with four steals while Palau, Jana Vesela and Belinda Snell came up with three each.
UMMC had just four steals.
After their blistering start, Ros extended the lead to 20-6 before taking a 24-12 advantage by the end of the opening quarter.
UMMC finally got into their rhythm and fought back, trailing just 40-35 at half-time.
Milton, De Souza and Vesela set the tone for the second half with the first three baskets of the third quarter for a 46-35 Ros Casares advantage.
An Ann Wauters three-pointer cut the home side's lead to 57-52 but Becky Hammon, Wauters' former teammate at CSKA Moscow, finished the frame with a lay-up to take the lead back to 59-52.
UMMC cut the deficit to 59-55 early in the fourth quarter on a Pondexter three-pointer and a Wauters jump shot made it 67-64 with 6:14 to go.
Ros Casares outscored UMMC 20-4 the rest of the way.
Milton made a pair of free-throws and then added a jump shot to increase the advantage to 71-64 and put Ros Casares on their way to a decisive triumph.
Hammon ended up playing 14 minutes and scored eight points.

Doyle out, but duo return
Coventry will be without Michael Doyle for the crunch relegation encounter with Sheffield Wednesday tonight, but two others will return.
The captain was sent off during the 5-0 FA Cup defeat at the weekend, and although the club are appealing his sending off this was lodged to late for it to be heard in time for tonight's huge relegation six pointer with Wednesday at Hillsborough, so he will have to sit it out.
Scott Dann and Daniel Fox can feature however, they were cup-tied at the weekend but can return tonight.
Ben Turner is close to returning, with Colin Hawkins moving closer all the time along with David McNamee but all three will miss out again tonight, Turner should be available by the weekend though.

Chinese pork buns question
Hello all,
I made some Chinese pork buns using a bun recipe I found on this site. The bread came out nice and fluffy, though I need to tweak my filling recipe a bit. But I'm wondering how to make the kind of rough textured pork buns you sometimes see at Chinese restaurants. They look like they have burst open, a bit like popcorn. It seems like the secret is probably in the shaping of the dough, but I haven't been able to find any recipes that will yield this kind of result, most recipes just form the buns into a round, or pleat the top.
Here's a pic of what I mean:

In part one we looked at some of the reasons why transitions can be difficult for some kids, now let's figure out how to help.
1. Break it down
Do a task analysis to break the transition into smaller steps, so you can figure out where the problem is. Let's take moving from computer time to another activity as a quick example:
2. Show that change can be okay
Use two activities that he loves equally and practice switching between them. Teach him to recognise what a transition is, when it's coming and how it will feel. Make it a rewarding, stress-free time so he can focus on learning the cues and experiencing the change as a pleasant thing.
3. Ease into it
Sometimes making a transition less obvious, by blurring the lines between activities or making the steps between them smaller, can help close a gap that feels too intimidating to cross. Let him bring toys from the floor to the kitchen table while you make breakfast, then put them away when his cereal is ready. Switch from fleecy trackpants to long cargo shorts and socks before making the move to short summer pants.
4. Be prepared
But you already knew this one. The best way to cope with transitions is to know that they're coming. Get into the habit of thinking about the plan for the day, the week, the month ahead and identify times of transition in advance.

Hmmm limerence, never heard of it before.
Sounds valid.
Can recognize some of the descriptions from my own life (though short-lived is not always the case).
For me it's more a description of the symptoms rather than the cause.
Is there a learning for you in all this? For her?
Of course I don't know you, and even less her, but such emotions sometimes carry a message within, a gateway into the soul, I have a hunch there is something to yake with you from all this.
Could be wrong though :-)

OP here agin. I'm thinking about about apologizing to her. Apologizing for the fact that I've come across as a creeper/stalker. How there are so many things that, if i could, i would do over. Apologize for the times i've offended her. Apologize that as much as i try, i can't get rid of the feelings i have for her...
I just want to get that off my chest...

In addition to these new features, one of the more extensive additions revolves around image editing. Content creators get the ability to edit images within dotCMS, with options such as resizing, cropping, rotating, adjusting hue, saturation, brightness and colors, and saving out different image types. Content editors get a clipboard where they can create edited versions of images (called renditions), select which one they want to use and then paste it into content.
Some existing features also got improvements in addition to the various bug fixes and performance improvements:
- All images and icons from the backend are now rendered as sprites, using just 2 images, to improve performance
- Recurring events are now stored individually in the system so a particular instance can be edited separately
- The ability to import content with the content identifier as the primary key
In January, DotNetNuke Corp. (news, site) introduced support for two new Microsoft (news, site) products: WebMatrix and Razor. WebMatrix integration offers a development environment suitable for those with little technical experience building DotNetNuke sites, and Razor integration makes it easier for technical users to to build DotNetNuke extensions.
DotNetNuke was also selected as part of Microsoft's Technology Adoption Program (TAP) for Windows Azure, and provided training materials for the Microsoft Web Camps program. Finally, the company named Bob Cortale as the Senior Vice President of Sales. Cortale will be responsible for building, developing and managing their global sales force and product support organization.
In January, the Drupal (news, site) project finished this little release called Drupal 7. If you want some insight on where Drupal's headed next, check out project founder and leader Dries Buytaert's blog.

PORTSMOUTH's naval heritage today received a ringing endorsement from the government.
Culture minister Ed Vaizey visited the city to see for himself the work being done on the new Mary Rose museum within the historic dockyard.
He said his interest had been sparked by a meeting with Professor Mark Jones from the Mary Rose Trust, who had been using high powered x-rays on the ship's artefacts to find out how to preserve them better.
And he said: 'That's when I decided to visit the new museum, which will be world-leading when it opens.
'It was absolutely brilliant to see the museum as it is being built, and I think it's going to prove hugely popular with the public.
'They'll absolutely love it, because you can walk around the ship, meet the kinds of people who would have been on board, and see what they would have had in their leather purses as she went down.'
Mr Vaizey also took the time to see HMS M33, one of only two surviving World War One gunships, and he also took a trip up the Spinnaker Tower.

The Shadow Home Secretary came to North Yorkshire to meet with businesswomen for International Women's Day.
In a weekend visit to Wetherby, Yvette Cooper, MP for Normanton, Pontefract and Castleford sat down with five business owners and Labour's parliamentary candidate for Elmet and Rothwell Veronica King to discuss the opportunities for women in business and the challenges they face.
Ms Cooper said: "What we know is that women starting up their own businesses is very important to the local economy, though it can often be difficult for them to get the appropriate financing.
"It is improving right across the country but growing a business and supporting a family can be really hard work.
"Meeting these Wetherby women and seeing how they manage their family life and what women can do to set up their own business and be flexible shows how important it is that women have the confidence to be able to do these things."
The businesswomen raised the issues of confidence and self-belief, and spoke about the skills used in raising a family and running a home and how they are transferrable to the business world.
Owner of the Yorkshire Body Clinic Kim Holmes said: "It is hard to run your own business, but now everything I do is down to me.
"It is a lot about a can do attitude. There is nothing I think I can't do if I want to, and it's not that I'm brilliant or anything, but if someone else can do it so can I."
They also talked about the importance of businesses working together in the community.
Owner of dress designers Practically Perfect Sally Newband said: "When customers come to Wetherby we should tell them what we are all about and the best places to go because we want them to come to 20 shops and restaurants, not just one."
The importance of political representation was also discussed, and Labour was singled out as the party with greater numbers of female candidates at 45 per cent in the shadow cabinet, compared with 20 per cent in the Conservative cohort.
Ms Cooper said: "To meet these impressive women and to hear their stories shows how people want the Labour party to be listening to women and making sure that we are doing what women want."
Ms King said: "Having a party that is a lot more representative and includes a lot more women is so important."


text: Home > Mom > Relationships and Sex > 9 Ways to Tell If It's Emotional Abuse 9 Ways to Tell If It's Emotional Abuse And How to Get Help PRINT Healthy relationships should make you feel safe and loved. But in an emotionally abusive relationship, you feel neither—instead, you feel trapped, worthless, afraid, desperate to please, and alone. You may even feel like you deserve the name-calling and fits of jealous rage. If you're a new mom and your family is transitioning into parenthood, it's tempting to say your partner just "has a temper," or "is really stressed right now" instead of admitting you're with an abuser, says Mary Jo Rapini, a Houston, Texas-based licensed counselor with 20 years of experience working with couples. "A healthy relationship makes you feel good about yourself," she says. "If you feel like you're in a relationship with someone who makes you feel bad about yourself, it's time to take action." Read on for nine signs of an emotionally abusive relationship, and how to get help if you're in one. An Emotional Abuser Is Controlling Exerting excessive control over your behavior in ways ranging from when and how you speak to access to shared items like cars or money is a hallmark of emotional abuse. One member of a couple might be in charge of things like balancing the checkbook, but it's extreme and unhealthy behavior to, for example, require that the other partner "prove" she needs to write a check or make an ATM withdrawal. "You don't marry someone to have someone to control," says Rapini, "you marry someone to share your life with, and that means treating each other like equals." An Emotional Abuser Uses Loud, Aggressive Language and Name-Calling Screaming, berating, name-calling, and intimidating language is another hallmark of emotional abuse, and it too is about control. "They're basically trying to humiliate you to a point of submission," says Rapini, "You want to avoid the humiliation, so you stop confronting the person." An Emotional Abuser Is Dismissive Your emotionally abusive partner may be very resistant to your attempts to discuss your concerns about their behavior and your relationship. In addition to wanting to deny anything is wrong, there are often issues of narcissistic personality at play in this context. He simply "does not have the emotional ability to care about your thoughts and feelings," says Rapini. An Emotional Abuser Withholds Affection Claiming, for example, that you don't "deserve" to hear that your partner loves you because of some slight or disagreement is emotionally abusive, says Rapini. It's tantamount to being in a relationship with "a dictator" who instills fear in others over what may happen if they fall out favor with their ruler. An Emotional Abuser Acts Differently When You're in Public Often, emotionally abusive language and behavior is reserved for private time, when there can be no witnesses to the tirades. People who are abusive at home but cheerful and even affectionate in public can leave their partners confused, embarrassed, questioning their own judgment about the at-home abuse, and distant from friends whom they fear might not believe them. The double-standard, says Rapini, is another form of emotional abuse. Ask yourself, she suggests: Do you get extra tense before going out in public with your partner? An Emotional Abuser Threatens to Leave or Hurt You Anyone who threatens physical abuse fits "the batterer's profile," says Rapini, and they may be more likely than you think to eventually follow up on those threats. Threats can take non-physical forms too, as when one partner threatens to leave the family, taking the house, car, or money away from their partner. These threats are often linked to specific—and hyper-critical—judgments, like, "If you can't lose some weight, I'm going to _______." An Emotional Abuser Is Irrationally Jealous At the base of jealousy, which can take the form of false accusations or demands that you stop spending time with specific people, is fear, says Rapini. "They are afraid you will leave," she says, especially if they see you getting close with people who they perceive as threats to the controlling "rules" they have set for your relationship. Explosive jealous episodes may be followed by a "honeymoon" period in which they try to fix everything with gifts or excessive compliments. "They're suffering a huge conflict inside," says Rapini," because they realize that their behavior is out of control." An Emotional Abuser Isolates You Whether because of jealousy or other forms of exerting control, emotional abusers often discourage friendships and social interactions outside of your relationship. At the root of this pattern is a deep insecurity, says Rapini. "Abusers are very fragile inside," she says, "That's part of the reason they try to cut off your network." Allowing yourself to be isolated, though, is dangerous to your mental health as well as your possible future physical safety. "Confide in at least one adult, though I prefer you confide in three," says Rapini, so you have in-the-know people who can help guide you if you need to leave the relationship. An Emotional Abuser Expects You to Live to Please Many couples have values of "servitude" and "submission" as part of their relationship, whether for religious reasons or traditional ideas about gender roles. In many cases, these relationships are healthy because each member of the couple "serves" the other in a balanced way that works for both people. But, Rapini says, if one member of the couple expects the other to constantly be at their beck and call, acquiesce to every request without question, and declare that their partner is "always right," emotional abuse—fueled by narcissism—may be at play. How to Get Help Rapini tells couples that emotional abuse can't be "fixed" by waiting it out, trying to love it away, or confronting it on your own—professional help in the form of an anger management therapist or marriage and family therapist is absolutely necessary. You can also try online private counseling at a reasonable cost, you can try Better Help and Safe Horizon. This counselor might recommend a psychiatrist to prescribe medication to help the abusive person begin to learn healthy behaviors. The person who has been abused will also benefit from counseling to help her preserve her self-esteem and build into her life activities that make her feel healthy and strong. Physical safety for the abused person and any children in the home is also paramount; Rapini recommends that having a bag packed is both an empowering step and an important one if you need to leave in a hurry. Have a few friends or close family members who know of the situations and can receive you if you do not feel safe in your home. It is a frightening realization that you and your children are not safe at home, but scary as it is, that realization requires action, for your children as well as yourself. "Every day you keep your child locked into an abusive situation, you're hurting them," says Rapini. With the proper help, says Rapini, many emotionally abusive relationships do become healthy, supportive partnerships. But once you recognize emotional abuse, don't delay in getting your children and yourself to a safe place—and work on it from there. 3PREVIOUS ARTICLE MOM NEXT ARTICLE4 PRINT

Research Director's Report
18 September 2008
What becomes of the WWS?
This month's Research Director's Report was written by François Richard, co-chair of the Worldwide Study, regional detector contact for Europe
The readers of ILC NewsLine are by now well acquainted with the fast evolution occurring in the realm of Physics and Detector Management. For an up-to-date description of the Research Directorate see the new Physics and Detectors web page. Recall that the starting point has been the World Wide Study, WWS, organised in 1998 and initially in charge of monitoring the progress of these activities through regional and worldwide workshops. The WWS has also set up a number of general panels dealing for example with R&D on detectors, software coordination and the machine-detector interface (MDI) in collaboration with the Global Design Effort. When needed, the WWS has created specialised panels, for example for the RDR a costing panel.
At the beginning of 2007, during the ACFA (Asian Committee for Future Accelerators) meeting in Beijing, the WWS started intense discussions about a new organisation for detector development in phase with the GDE roadmap. A specially created panel issued a proposal to the International Linear Collider Steering Committee (ILCSC) which resulted in the present structure. During this period, the WWS, through the three co-chairs, has maintained a continuous dialogue with the GDE by participating in the monthly Executive Committee meetings of the GDE. When possible WWS workshops take place in conjunction with the GDE. The WWS also reports on its activities at each ILCSC through one of the co-chairs.
Now that all the managerial functions are taken care of by the Research Director and his team, the WWS has decided to stop the activities of its panels. Some might naively conclude that the only job left to the WWS, albeit clearly a very important one, is to organise workshops. I don't think that this is the case. From my contacts with the participants to the last ECFA (European Committee for Future Accelerators) meeting in Warsaw, I conclude that the WWS plays a new role: to maintain a tight contact between the participants of these workshops and the managing bodies. The present evolution in our organisation, in spite of the communication efforts, is not always well understood and we need a continuous feedback to avoid any serious mismatch with our large and diverse community: theorists, phenomenologists, experimentalists working on detector R&D, software developers, young physicists, accelerator experts, engineers, managers, communicators...
When it will come to tough choices for the machine parameters dictated for example by the findings at the LHC and/or by financial or technical constraints, it will be essential that there is good dialogue between the community and the ILC management. I believe that the WWS remains the appropriate body to take care of this crucial aspect. The actual way in which such a function is insured will be discussed with the various partners involved (regional bodies, Research Director, ILCSC), and I hope that we can all soon get an agreement on this important issue.
-- François Richard

The autumn rain is a sign for many green thumbs that it's time to prepare their garden soil for the spring.
For other gardeners, however, the change in season means it's time to make the switch to those winter vegetables that thrive in cold weather.
Bardia Khaledi designs gardens and helped build the Steveston Educational Garden. He says you can have a profusion of vegetables throughout the winter.
Khaledi says the great thing about fall gardening is you don't have to keep watering your plants. If you can stand a little rain, you can enjoy garden-to-plate meals all year round.
Here's his winter gardening advice:
- Make sure your garden plot has good drainage, particularly if your beds are in the ground and not raised.
- If you are putting your garden to bed, you can grow a cover crop to put nitrogen back in the soil, such as rye or clover or legumes (different kinds of peas).
- You can also collect seeds for next year, including nasturtiums, soy beans, peas, and broad beans, as well as tomatoes.
Here are five vegetables that do well when the weather gets chilly:
- Garlic (should be planted in October)
- Brassicas — broccoli, turnips, cauliflower, cabbage, Brussels sprouts
- Leafy greens — kale, Swiss chard
- Fava beans

Ask a Law Question, Get an Answer ASAP!
My partner and Ihave been together since August 2004 (8 years) and living together for 7 of those years. He has said it is over and wants us to seperate. We bought a house together in March 2011. The total value of the house was £400,000. My partner had a deposit of £100,000 of which £80,000 went on the deposit of the house and the other £20,000 went towards the cost of the fees, stamp duty and the rest went on furniture. We have signed a prenup to say that after the sale of the property and after the costs of the fees of selling, my partner will get the first £100,000 and the rest will be spilt 60/40. (Partner/Me) We took out a mortage for £323,000 and the outstanding value of the mortgage is £312,000. We had the properly valued in January and the current value is £460,000. My partner has said he doesn't want to sell but to buy me out of the property, and has said (nothing in writing) that he would buy me out for £17k. (not sure where he got that figure from) We are both currently living in the property and paying the mortgage. What I need to know is the following... What do I need to do? What is the best option for me and how do I find out what I'm entitled to, and am I better off letting my partner buy me out or selling? If my partner doesn't want to sell but it is the better option, how do I go about getting him to sell. Would I be entitled to more because we have been living together for a long period of time? All I want is to be fair and to get what I'm entitled to, bearing in mind that because my partner bought all the furniture with the £20,000 which he will get back if we sell, I really do not own anything! Any information would be useful
Hi Claire,
If my partner didn't agree with this, what would I need to do next? Would it end up costing me a lot of money to go through this process?
It would be better for peace of mind but I don't have to. I do have friends that I can stay with so I could stay with them, and still pay the mortgage. We havent discussed when I should leave as I haven't spoken to him about it yet....
