Re: 2013 SRX4 Premium not making the grade
All I can say is be very careful what you wish for. I took our '13 SRX in for the transmission update because of the recall notice we received and I wish I had never set foot into the service department. The car was perfect when I took it in but being the good Lemming that I am, complied with the notice that I received. Not only did they update the transmission software, but they did the memory seat update and the Cue update and now nothing works properly and is becoming increasing annoying every day. Even my wife, who loves cars and can be forgiving when something doesn't quite work as it should has resorted to taking pictures when things screw up in this car. It's one thing to "adapt" the way you use things when something doesn't quite work as advertised, but when they have a mind of their own and then stop working completely. there is no way to "adapt". I'm also tired of ECO mode being blamed for shoddy transmission operation. It worked perfectly when new but since the update, the transmission hunts for gears in ECO mode and when not in ECO mode shifts like a transmission out of a 56 Chevy. And then, this excuse of "we can't duplicate the problem so we can't fix it" is getting real old. I bought my first foreign car in November and it looks like this Cadillac will probably be my last American car if this crap keeps up. I'm usually very patient with these types of things, but quite frankly I tired of hearing my wife complain about the car and I'm becoming increasing fed up with the service department at the dealership and getting almost as fed up with Cadillac Customer Service. Anybody got a match?

Design to Profit™ Webinar Series
Module 12: Traditional vs. Online Marketing
Presented by Frances Harder with Syama Meagher (Owner of Scaling Retail)
Understanding the 'types' of buyers that you are selling to is the first step when marketing you line. As a manufacture you improve your chances of selling your product to buyers if you can strategically identify what type of buyer you are working with. Choosing the right strategy to achieve the sales target is perhaps one of the most important decisions you may ever have to make in order to become a successful manufacturer. Marketing encompasses all the activities directed towards the successful sale of your product. This includes planning market research, customer buying habits, advertising, promotions, public relations, pricing strategies, merchandising, and packaging. Successful marketing of your company will include the ability to identify trends, a strong sense of timing, creativity and, most importantly, the ability to grow with the continuing fast changing technological world of sales all balanced within your financial constraints. E-tailing is making in-roads into the apparel marketplace. Cash flow is good on the sales side, but inventory stock can be a drain. There are many different options to sell and market your product. You may choose a more traditional method using a sales representative for the bulk of production, but opt to move some of your product via the Internet for a faster or immediate turnaround.

Yay! School's out for the holidays! Are you familiar with that old joke: "why did you become a teacher?" answer "June, July, and August". Ha Ha. Though really, there is a spark of truth in it. Yes, I became a teacher for all the noble teachery reasons, but really… Christmas break, spring break and the summer, they are a nice bonus.
One of the benefits of being out of school, is being able to bake bread whenever I feel like it. My youngest is home from college for break, and this is her favorite bread, so it was first on my list. This is taken from one of my favorite bread machine cookbooks: The Bread Lover's Bread Machine Cookbook by Beth Hensperger.
Focaccia (Roman Bread)
2 pound loaf
1 1/2 cups water
4 cups bread flour (I use King Arthur)
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 cup chopped yellow onion
2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon bread machine yeast or
1 tablespoon SAF yeast
For the topping:
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons dried rosemary, crushed (I used my new mortar and pestle)
Coarse sea salt for sprinkling
To make the dough, place the ingredients in the the bread machine pan according to your machine's instructions. Process on the dough cycle.
Brush a large baking sheet with olive oil. When the dough cycle ends, turn the dough out onto the baking sheet. It will be kind of sticky. I like to turn it over a few times to coat it with the oil, and I also oil my hands. Start sort of stretching the dough out. This takes a little bit of time, because it's slippery and keeps snapping back into it's original shape. But after a little bit, it relaxes and starts to stay flattened. You want it about 1 inch thick. I usually shape it sort of rectangular like the pan. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rise at room temperature until it's doubled in bulk, about 40 minutes.
About 20 minutes before your ready to bake it, heat a baking stone (if you have one) in a 425 degree oven. If you don't have a baking stone, preheat the oven to 400.
At this point, the recipe says to slash the dough, but I usually just dimple it a bit with my finger tips, drizzle with the olive and sprinkle with the rosemary. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until browned. When it comes out of the oven sprinkle with sea salt.
This is so good! The olive oil makes it nice and crispy the outside, and the chopped onion makes it really moist on the inside. This is great just cut into squares (I could practically make a whole meal of it). I also like it used for sandwiches.

GOLF: Woods pulls out of charity event
VERONA, N.Y. (AP) — Tiger Woods pulled out of a charity event for good friend Notah Begay because of his ailing back.
The Notah Begay III Foundation Challenge announced that Gary Woodland will replace Woods in the field
Wednesday at TurningStone Resort.
Woods said he felt stiffness in his back last week at The Barclays from a soft bed in his hotel. He said he suffered a back spasm during a seven-hole stretch at the end of the final round, and he dropped to his knees after one shot.
McGrady retires from NBA
NEW YORK (AP) — Tracy McGrady said he is retiring from the NBA.
The seven-time All-Star announced his decision on ESPN and Twitter.
McGrady spent 16 seasons in the NBA playing for the Raptors, Magic, Rockets, Knicks, Pistons and Hawks.
He fiished his career last season by signing with the San Antonio Spurs late in the year.
After being drafted by Toronto out of high school in 1997, McGrady averaged 19.6 points, 5.6 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game in a career that was curtailed by injuries.
NCAA approves Howard to USC
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Southern California added a transfer from Maryland to its men's basketball team under new coach Andy Enfield.
Point guard Pe'Shon Howard received a legislative relief waiver from the NCAA that allowed him to return home to be closer to his ailing grandmother.
The 6-foot-3, 190-pounder started 44 of 83 games in three seasons at Maryland. He averaged 3.3 points, 2.4 rebounds and 3.6 assists last season while helping lead the Terrapins to the NIT semifinals.
As a senior, Howard will be eligible for the upcoming season.
Enfield said Howard's grandmother helped raise him in Los Angeles. He attended Oak Hill Academy in Virginia. Last week, center D.J. Haley joined the Trojans after graduating from VCU this summer. He will have one year of eligibility at USC.

Well, considering that Mathematica lacks simple things like Chirp, it
really *is* deficient in some areas. It is slightly discouraging to
come to the platform and realise swathes of functionality that you are
used to be accustomed to need to be written from scratch. Not that it
isn't trivial, but every little function is a few minutes off the time
spent trying to get work done.
And it's further discouraging to come in right in the transition
between Mathematica 5 and 6 and realise that everyone's packages are
broken, and wonder that even if you attempt to fill the gaps whether
the work you do will still be useful in five years...
Obviously this is only a problem in areas that haven't yet been
targeted by Wolfram. I'm amazed by the depth of support in areas that
I'm not working in :)

This topic is now closed - this is what you said.
America does not wear a black hat. At times it can be boastful and overbearing. It can also be generous and compassonate. It tries to be all things to all people, and that is not achieveable. Many are jealous of their position in the scheme of things, I don't believe Australia is. America is a good friend, we should keep it that way.

Lets assume for a minute that the US didn't become the economic power it became in the early 20th Century, and stayed an isolated country like many of its citizens wanted it to be be after WW1. Now lets also assume that Britain and Russia were able to win WW2 (in Europe) on their own (not forgeting other countries like Australia, New Zealand etc) so without the US and the Cold War the Soviet Union slowly takes over Europe destroying anyone in their path (just ask a Hungarian about what happens when you try anything on with the USSR). Without US aid and threat of nuclear war Europe cant stand up to communism and so now the Soviet Union spans from the Pacific to the Atlantic. Now Australia wouldn't exist because as brave and courageous as our armed forces may be we couldn't stand up to a full Japanese invasion. Throughout Asia and Australia genocide is a norm and many people contributing to this discussion are not even alive. Pretty grim. I don't say America is our savior nor do I agree with everthing they do but if the USA is becoming a religon and an Empire then we could do a whole lot worse.

Learning Perl/Tk is a tutorial for Perl/Tk, the extension to Perl for creating graphical user interfaces. With Tk, Perl programs can be window-based rather than command-line based, with buttons, entry fields, listboxes, menus, and scrollbars. Originally developed for the Tcl language, the Perl port of the Tk toolkit liberates Perl programmers from the world of command-line options, STDIN, and STDOUT, allowing them to build graphical, event-driven applications for both Windows and UNIX.This book is aimed at Perl novices and experts alike. It explains the reasoning behind event-driven applications and drills in guidelines on how to best design graphical applications. It teaches how to implement and configure each of the Perl/Tk graphical elements step-by-step. Special attention is given to the geometry managers, which are needed to position each button, menu, label and listbox in the window frame.Although this book does not teach basic Perl, anyone who has written even the simplest Perl program should be able to learn Tk from this book. The writing is breezy and informal, and gets right to the point of what you need to know and why. The book is rife with illustrations that demonstrate how each element is drawn and how its configuration options affect its presentation.Learning Perl/Tk is for every Perl programmer who would like to implement simple, easy-to-use graphical interfaces.
Nancy Walsh has been involved with Perl (and Perl/Tk) since 1996. She received a Computer Science degree from the University of Arizona in 1993, and currently works as a Principal Consultant for XOR, Inc. doing J2EE and Java work on various projects.

Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects. The bird on the cover of Learning Perl/Tk is a juvenile emu (Dromaius novaehollandiae). This large, flightless bird is found throughout the Australian bush steppes. The emu is one of the largest birds in existence, second only to its cousin the ostrich. Adult emus stand about 5 feet (1.5 m) high and weigh up to 120 pounds (55 kg). The grayish brown emu's small wings contain ony six or seven feathers. They are hidden by the long, hairlike rump plumage. Emus have extremely strong legs, which they use as defensive and offensive weapons when fighting. A human limb can be broken by a kick from an emu. Their powerful legs makes emus strong swimmers and fast runners, reaching speeds of up to 50 km/hour.Male emus, who are slightly smaller than the females, tend to the incubation of eggs and the raising of the young. An emu nest contains up to 15-25 deep green eggs, laid by several hens. Incubation of the eggs takes from 25 to 60 days. The large discrepancy in incubation time is because the male needs to leave the nest periodically to find food and drink. How long he is away affects the time for incubation. Newly hatched emus weigh about 15 pounds (440 g). They are grown at two to three years.The relationship between emus and Australian farmers has always been an adversarial one; three coastal subspecies of emu have been exterminated. Because emus can jump over high fences, it is diffucult to keep them out of fields, where they eat and trample crops. In the arid Australian bush, emus also compete with cattle and sheep for grass and water. On the other hand, emus eat many insects that would otherwise eat the crops. In 1932 Australian farmers declared war on the emus, making an all-out effort to eradicate them. Fortunately, the effort failed. The battle between emus and farmers continues to this day.

Comments about oreilly Learning Perl/Tk:
This book is not really available new anymore. But you can still find used copies of it I'm sure. It as been somewhat replaced by Mastering Perl/Tk. I have BOTH books. I find this Learning Book VERY useful when I can't grasp that Mastering Perl/Tk book, or can't find something in the Mastering book. Or perhaps you just need basics of some widget without digging into details? Keeping it simple and fast? I would rename this "Learning Perl/Tk" to "Mastering Perl/Tk - Lite". And both books have been useful.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Learning Perl/Tk Review
By Anand
from Undisclosed
The book was good, no doubt, for beginner but then grows obsolete in no time. The examples are quite repetetive in that what is already deifned for one widget is repeated for the next. This could have been avoided. I being a developer for Windows would read the Listboxes in-and-out in an attempt to make a combobox(drop-down List) as it is a lot more friendly on real-estate. I believe that the author could have shown a little more empathy towards us Windows Programmers.

This book is an amazing departure from the quality O'Reilly is famous for. Never again will I assume a book is good just because it's from O'Reilly.

I realize the Windows environment is the red-headed stepchild with the GNU crowd. However, we are sometimes forced to work in that environment. Nancy included NOTHING regarding installing Tk in the Windows environment, which, after 12 hours of trying, I have found to be difficult (compiles break constantly). One of the reasons I buy books instead of searching online dox and FAQs is because I expect digested information. I am ready to throw Tk and this book in the garbage can!

I should never have backed this on kickstarter, seeing as I'm still waiting for them to fulfill the pledge reward.
I like how Adafruit won't stock a kickstarter until the campaign is completed, it's frustrating to see the products for sale here when I pledged Dec 15 2013.
Cool kit, but I'm finding the price hard to justify.
It is a very large PCB though, so I guess a good portion of the expense is simply in that.
I'm sorry but I disagree, many companies register specific colours for there trademarks and branding. What if Caterpillar release a DMM for there service technicians? Who wins that law suit? Caterpillar with there registered tone or Fluke with EVERY TONE THAT COULD BE INTERPRETED AS YELLOW. Just how orange does there trademark cover? Or any other tone with a yellow base.
Fluke just lost my vote, and I have several Fluke meters including a 8845 which are not yellow.

Anticipating the Delivery

As summer wanes and we slip into fall, delivery skippers approach their busiest time of the year.

Summer is waning, thank goodness. I realize that summer is the season for most sailors, but here in South Florida summer is the time when we literally sweat out hurricane season. Summer winds are fickle, temperatures are too cruel for impulsive action, and late afternoon and early evening thunderstorms wash out the best sailing hours. By September, I am ready for the steady easterlies to rustle the palm the trees and the heat index to return to double digits. I am ready to thrust open the hatches in open defiance of air conditioning and sanity. I know that September is really just an extension of summer down here, the month when tropical storms get serious, but Im ever the optimist and a Midwesterner by birth. September still translates into fall for me. The fall, the glorious fall. The kids go back to school and I get ready to go back to my Atlantic Ocean office.

The fall and spring are my "busy seasons," the times when I temporarily abandon my computer and go back to my real job, moving boats around. Although I dont deliver as many boats as I used to, and now focus on shorter passages than during my crazy old transatlantic days, this fall I have an interesting array of passages looming. Right after the Annapolis Boat Show, in mid October, I have agreed to deliver a Hylas 46 from Norwalk, CT to Palm Beach, FL. Later in the month, I am working out the details of delivering a Crealock 37 from Ft. Lauderdale to the Virgin Islands. Early November is the time when I set off from Annapolis bound for Antigua, in what has become an annual training passage aboard Super Chief, a Hylas 49. Just two days ago a yacht broker pal called, wondering if I was available to deliver an old Swan 44 from Trinidad to Ft. Lauderdale. I told him that if he can wait until the end of November Im available.

Many sailboat owners harbor visions of keeping their boats in such a tropical setting for the winter, but lack the time to get them therethat's where delivery captains come in.

I thought it appropriate for this months article to a look at what goes through my mind as I prepare for these upcoming deliveries. Preparing is both a mental and physical process. My wife Lesa laughs every time I dig out the pilot charts and spend hours studying the array of information presented month by month. "How many times have you sailed up and down the East Coast," she asks in a half-mocking tone. "You could write your own pilot chart."

What Lesa says is nearly true, but thats not the point. Pilot charts, as old, obsolete, and non-technical as they are, are part of the protocol, the mating dance that occurs before every passage I undertake. I can lose myself in a pilot chart, from studying where the southern limit of the Arctic pack ice is in October to the percentage of time to expect waves of 10 feet or higher. With the DMA (Defense Mapping Agency) Atlas of Pilot Charts for the North Atlantic and a pair of dividers, I can amuse myself for a long time.

For my Norwalk to Palm Beach jaunt, a distance of about 1,100 miles aboard a lovely Hylas 46 sloop, what should I expect? The passage breaks down into three legs. First, you must clear Long Island Sound. Although its less miles and certainly more interesting to sail west and south via New York Harbor, my instinct is to head east, through The Race and around Montauk Point toward the open sea. This distance is approximately 100 miles and creates more sailing options as you head south. The Frers designed Hylas 46 is fairly weatherly and should be able to make good progress in any wind other than a hard southwester. The second leg is south, southwest to a point offshore Cape Hatteras; the distance is approximately 350 miles. The pilot chart and my own experience show a favorable current and a good possibility for favorable winds. The key is to avoid the north-setting loop current that sometimes spins off the Gulf Stream north and east of Hatteras, so I will likely avoid a long offshore tack.

"You must cross the Stream and then select a tactic for working south. Do you hug the coast or sail offshore?"

The final, 650-mile leg to the sunshine state is the most challenging. You must cross the Stream and then select a tactic for working south. Do you hug the coast or sail offshore? Either way you must steer clear of the Gulf Stream, which can slow your progress dramatically. Naturally this decision will be made as conditions dictate, but if I have my druthers, Ill take the more direct offshore route and try to take advantage of the favorable eddies spawned off the eastern edge of the Gulf Stream.

Mid October is still tropical-storm season, so having a good method of obtaining weather reports on board is important. I always carry a short-wave receiver, even if the boat is equipped with single-sideband radios and or weather fax. I also will be sure to have plenty of harbor charts, just in case we need to make a hasty landfall. The owner of the boat has made the pilgrimage north and south a couple times, so I will assume the boat is fairly well equipped for offshore sailing. Nonetheless, I will ask for an inventory of gear before the passage and make suggestions as necessary. The owner wont be able to join us, unfortunately, so I will likely assemble a crew of two others to join me. Three is a good number for offshore sailing, provided each crewmember can pull his or her weight and the autopilot behaves.

The delivery from Ft. Lauderdale to the Virgin Islands will be a lot like work, specifically, windward work. Anyway you turn the pilot chart the winds still come from the east, so conning a boat from Florida to the Caribbean Islands will require days and days of beating. Its best to just accept this notion instead of hoping and praying for Neptune or El Nino to create a weeks weather aberration. The odds of favorable winds on this 1,000-mile passage are only slightly better than winning the Power Ball Lottery.

For delivery skippers and ordinary voyagers alike, pre-departure familiarity with chart details and prevailing weather patterns can pay big dividends once underway.

For many years of experience (I have probably made this passage more than 40 times), Ive learned that the rhumb line is the key to success. The fastest way to the islands is to simply draw the rhumb line on the chart, or course plotter, and sail the tack that keeps you closest to the line. In the old days, when we delivered Morgan OI 41s to the charter fleets, conventional wisdom dictated beating east until you reached the 65th meridian. At that point you could fall off and sail south on reach. Todays boats are capable of making windward passages, which changes the tactical aspect of the passage.

The first obstacle is to keep your lunch down as you cross the Gulf Stream, which can be lumpy between Ft. Lauderdale and the Bahamas. Once across the Stream, it is approximately 130 miles due east through the cruise ship laden NE Providence Channel, until you clear Eleuthra. Although it is tempting to fall off to the southeast at this point, you should stay the course and try to leave the next mark, the island of San Salvador, as far to starboard as possible. The clawing continues as you maintain sea room off the dangerous offshore banks southeast of the Turks and Caicos Islands. Dont fret if you fall slightly below the rhumb line here, invariably you will get a lift somewhere along the way as the wind backs and like any good racer you must take advantage of it. However, you really should resist sailing south too early, or the beat back to the islands can be brutal.

I am looking forward to sailing the Crealock 37, a well-built boat and proven passagemaker. Although it wont be particularly close-winded, it should track well and most importantly, have an easy motion in a seaway. This time the owner will join me, and well probably add a third crewmember as well. The boat is based where I live in Ft. Lauderdale, so I will be able to inspect it carefully before shoving off, which is not usually the case in the delivery business. Hurricane season should be pretty well over by the end of October, but of course well be ready to alter our plans if a tropical storm threatens.

The author's "Atlantic Ocean office" is on board boats like the Hylas 49 above, on which he calculates he's sailed the equivalent of a circumnavigation in numerous deliveries.

Faithful readers of Sailnet may have stumbled across my earlier articles describing training passages between Annapolis and Antigua (Offshore Training Passage==, and==Making Landfall at Night===). This year I am planning to take four new victims, I mean crewmembers, on this 1,500-mile passage. I wont delve into the details, but suffice it to say that this is one of my favorite passages because of the variety of conditions usually encountered. From the cool waters of the Chesapeake, to the crossing of the Gulf Stream, to finding the trade winds, to landfall in the Caribbean, this passage is always intriguing. The S & S designed Hylas 49 is an exceptional sea boat and one I know well. I recently calculated that I have logged 27,000 miles aboard different Hylas 49s, nearly equivalent to a circumnavigation.

Hopefully, the delivery of the Swan 44 from Trinidad back to Ft. Lauderdale will work out well. There are three reasons why this passage is particularly appealing. First, it pays well. Secondly, the S & S Swan 44 is one of my favorite boats, and finally, the 1,400 mile passage up from the islands is invariably an off-the-wind romp. This passage is more of a classic delivery. I will fly south, inspect the boat, provision and shove off, all within a matter of days. Ill expect the worst with the boat just coming out of charter service, so I will bring, among other things, my own charts, tools, sail-repair kit, liferaft and spare autopilot. I will probably put together a crew of one or two others to join me, depending upon the budget and insurance requirements and well sail nonstop, hoping to complete the passage in 8 to 10 days. For many years spontaneous passages like these were how I made my living and I thrived on it.

Yes, the summer is fading, today was the first day of school where we live. After dropping off the kids I stopped by the boat. I started to assemble my delivery kit, odds and ends like nylon webbing for temporary harness jack lines and underwater epoxy for emergency repairs. I cleaned up my sextant and even sharpened my knife; it is definitely high time to get to sea.

Even if they aren't saying it, there's a direct cause-effect relationship going on. Remember how many people didn't much care for Usami when she was first introduced? Like Nakuru, she was bland and not unique. Then she gets more development in the middle of the story, and she becomes a likeable character. All they really had to do for Nakuru was put this episode into the story a few episodes back (assuming it doesn't require this recent end to the main story to fit, in which case it's just a bad story to put at the end of a season).

In my opinion, since we have a satisfactory ending for this episode, I don't see why see can't have something unrelated for the last episode. There are Animes before that place their finales in the second last episode, and leave the final episode as a light hearted one to end the show on a happy note.
Since we've already come this far, might as well cross the bridge- The Anime hadn't led us wrong in that department so far.

Nakuru was one of the girls I liked, but you know what ticked me off? EXACTLY what GDB is stating...I wanted her to get some time with Jirou, and they NEVER gave it to her...personally because of this, I feel her character was severely SHAFTED.
That's why even though it is happening a little later, I'm glad she DOES at least get something before this is all over. It shows that at least the anime studio know she deserved an episode at some point...and I'm just grateful she gets it. People can critic it and not like it, but can we wait until we SEE it before giving the final judgement?

I don't know what they're going to do to give Nakuru development in a single filler episode though. You're right she got shafted compared to the others, but unless devoting time to her substantially changed her annoying personality, I'm happy that there was little of her throughout the series. Even Usami, with her highly irritable, violent attitude, doesn't compare to the mess that's Narkuru.

If anything, I can see this episode as a lead on to a possible second season. With Nakuru, I can see Jirou being Jirou, doing something ridiculously nice, and she'll officially hop on the "Race for Jirou's Penis" bandwagon, which would be a good way to establish her as an official runner in the next season....
And who says this is filler?
According to what I've heard, this is FAR from over storyline wise...the main drama plot might have cooled down, but I STRONGLY doubt this will be "Status Quo is God" episode...This probably will be VERY similar to the Usami episode, where Konoe appears in the background while another character raises her harem XP bar to become more significant....in all honesty, I could care less if Konoe appears or not, she's done her part, nothing else for her at this point...

On the topic itself, actually the glass girl had quite a bunch good screen times in the show, but
all of them dedicated with forcing her fetish and hobby into Jirou and Subaru.

The first BD is really lovely, with some very nice improved scenes
For example, in episode 1 one, you can now freely view Subaru's neko pantsu
In episode two, you can see her almost naked, important spots barely covered by a thin bandage

Episode 12
Whew... kinda late with this, but oh well, mother nature is boss on this earth. So, I read everyone's posts since ep 12 aired (what happened to ya, Chaos? Does this mean our bet is off? I was looking forward to winning that ), and.... surely I can't be the only one that felt some things went by a little too quickly.
For example, what was with Narumi and Kureha's mood switching? At one moment boohoo Subaru is gone, the next moment "Punyuru!" and then Punyuru transfers and they're like "oh well whatever. Subaru-sama!"
Still, I think Usami asked the most important question of all, but really, THAT BIKE. I didn't know it was that big, let alone capable of seating two. Ah... I get it. Before she crashed into Jirou the first time, she had a solo bike. After being friends with him and falling in love with him, she upgraded her bike in the hopes of riding into the sunset with her beloved....... Jirou you bastard! That's my seat on that bike!
Anyways continuing what I was saying about things going by a little too quickly, that's mostly about the second half of the ep (mainly because the first half was dominated by the tastiness that was the inn scene). Eh.... let me see where my problem lies. Aside from the mood switch I mentioned above, I felt that so late in the series, Subaru managed to do what I always wanted her to do: do something on her own for once.
I guess I feel that way since next ep seems centered around Narumi, which reading everyone's comments about it, I understand how some feel it's unnecessary, but I'm going to stick by what I feel and that is, I think it would have been better if this episode 13 came right after ep 06, because not only did episode 06 end the story about Usami's plan, but it introduced Narumi, and having this ep 13 after ep 06 probably would have helped make Narumi not a sudden high appearance count, low voice line count character that she ended up being since that ep 06.
Yeah I wanted to see more of her, not so much her BL or glasses fetishes, but for like what was mentioned here earlier, what her position is regarding the protagonist. Surely she's not just a joke character in the novel, is she?
Or maybe I was hoping for a similar characterization for her that Usami had. I just love the way Usami went from anti-social brat (ep 05) and changed herself for better into the person she wanted to be (ep 12). Clearly in my opinion the girl who had the best character growth throughout the series.
Ah I know. Maybe I'm just mad Kureha's mom never showed up. Come on woman, show up in ep 13.....

3878 only? it's good but it didn't even break the 5000 copy barrier and thus 2nd season is dim as impossible unless it goes pass 5000 and near 10000. 5000-10000 mostly limits the chance of 2nd season.

text: ARMONK, N.Y. and DUBLIN, Oct. 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- IBM (NYSE: IBM) today announced that it has teamed with ESB to implement a fully integrated smarter charging IT system that will help manage electric vehicle public charge-points, which are being rolled out across Ireland by ESB Networks. Together the companies will add a layer of intelligence and convenience to the recharging process, allowing EV drivers to access, charge and pay, using an identification card. Additionally, this project will provide utilities with access to energy usage data that can help improve smart grid operations, reduce power strain during peak charging times, and ensure reliable energy distribution to customers. For images, please visit: http://bit.ly/LNxbSv With approximately 1,000 public charging-points currently available, ESB Networks is on track to deliver one of the largest integrated and operational electric vehicle infrastructures in Europe. ESB Networks will use IBM's Intelligent Electric Vehicle Enablement Platform to provide the services needed to operate and manage the charge-points installed throughout Ireland. This project is bolstered by Ireland's energy policy to increase sustainable energy use in the transportation sector by 2020. Today, the goal is to produce 40 percent of the country's current electricity consumption from renewable energy and have electric vehicles represent every tenth car on Irish roads. Already on the renewable fast track, this integrated EV charging network will allow Ireland to also contribute to the European Union legislation to reduce greenhouse gas pollution levels by approximately nine million tones before 2020. Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, Richard Bruton TD said: "Green energy and cloud computing are key sectors being targeted by the Government as part of our Action Plan for Jobs. This innovative partnership between an Irish energy company and a global IT leader puts Ireland at the forefront of global developments in the electric vehicle sector by using cutting edge cloud technologies, and represents a clear demonstration of what is possible in this area. Ireland will now be the first country globally to put in place this system on a national basis, and I am determined to ensure that through continued implementation of our plan we will see further examples of leadership in these areas." The platform will connect ESB Networks with the energy retailers and the charge-points, allowing all three to communicate energy usage and financial data directly. This will provide the analytics and intelligence needed to better forecast and balance the load on the power grid as well as help ESB Networks to monitor the health and status of the charge-points to ensure service reliability.

Oracle Buys Sun Microsystems
After weeks' long rumor mill, the word is finally out: database specialist Oracle is buying Sun Microsystems for around $7.4 billion. This just two weeks after IBM abandoned its bid to do the same thing.
Oracle and Sun announced that Oracle will acquire Sun's stock by the end of the summer, paying $9.40 per share. Oracle expects in the first year of the purchase to add $1.5 billion in adjusted profits with at least 15 cents more per share. They're also expecting $2 billion more in profits the second year.
Particularly interesting for Oracle, at least according to a first statement of the parties, are the Sun freebies Java and Solaris. In their joint statement, they declared that the "Sun Solaris operating system is the leading platform for the Oracle database" and that they can now "optimize the Oracle database for some of the unique, high-end features of Solaris." Oracle CEO Larry Ellison can now claim that "Oracle will be the only company that can engineer an integrated system." What will happen with open source MySQL, which Sun bought over a year ago, is anyone's guess.
The announcement is the first tangible result of the weeks-long takeovergame. The Wall Street Journal had reported that IBM was in talks with Sun, but had broken them off due to the high price set by Sun. No official statement ensued. Oracle was then brought up again in connection with a Red Hat takeover, again with no definite statement of facts to prove it.
Sun's failure was set in the 1990sSun had no hope of survival by the late 1990s when McNeely Locked-in on selling "boxes" and stopped listening to the marketplace. Sun created huge value with Solaris and Java, but had no idea how to capture that value so it just kept doing what it always did. Eventually, the market didn't see the value in the boxes any more, and the value of Solaris and Java had been frittered away. A lesson for any company that it must adapt to market needs or it will be squashed. Read more at http://WWW.ThePhoenixPrinciple.com
hmm...7.4 million or billion?
Gosh who know where that is going to take Oracle!That means Oracle owning OpenOffice, Solaris, MySql, Sun Servers (exaData), all the Storage Management Software, and of course the crown jewel java amongst other Sun technology!
Will that make Oracle the biggest "Software" provider in the world!

Texas Tech lifts scholarship ban for OU's Baker Mayfield
Baker Mayfield wants to play for Oklahoma this year. Texas Tech, his former school, isn't allowing that but it's lifted his scholarship ban.
The curious case of Baker Mayfield's transfer continues.
Texas Tech still supports the transfer rule that forces former Red Raiders quarterback Baker Mayfield to sit the season, but the school is now permitting Oklahoma, his new school, to put Mayfield on scholarship, Tech spokesman Blayne Beal told CBSSports.com on Thursday.
Mayfield, who was the Big 12 Offensive Freshman of the Year after throwing for 2,315 yards and 12 touchdowns, reportedly left Tech because he wanted a scholarship. His walk-on status was also the reason Bob Stoops said Mayfield shouldn't be held to the same standards as scholarship transfers required by NCAA rules to sit out a season. Tech told Mayfield he had a scholarship waiting for him in the spring if he stuck around.
El Paso-based lawyer Jim Darnell, who's representing Mayfield through his NCAA waiver process, said Thursday he hopes Tech "does the right thing" and lifts the transfer stance. Mayfield would already be eligible if Tech loosened its stance, said Darnell, who adds Tech repeatedly denied Mayfield's request to be put on OU scholarship before July 1.
That's great that Mayfield can at lease get his tuition paid for, right? Well, not according to the Oklahoman, OU doesn't have a scholarship available because "Tech waited too long to stop blocking it." Mayfield decided to transfer in early December and committed to Oklahoma afterward.
Coaches generally don't like when top players transfer within the conference, especially leaving the team before the season, which had been rumored with Mayfield. If Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury wasn't going to budge, lifting the scholarship ban seemed like a natural choice. Apparently it's too late for that.
Mayfield would likely be No. 2 on Oklahoma's quarterback depth chart, behind Trevor Knight, should he be cleared to play.

moving a vent pipe
Is there any reason that I could not move the vent pipe [center] in the below picture to one of the two circled areas on the left?
That cast iron T is the drain for two upstairs showers as well as the pictured shower and down stairs sink [ horizontal section of pipe]
199 Attachment(s)
You really shouldn't lay the vent horizontal below the slab although it is done sometimes. Is that what you want to do? Or do you want to move the point that the vent connects to the drain? You can move it downstream but not beyond the wye- at least by my code.
@TheEplumber - I won't be laying it below the slab - I will keep it in the same configuration just change it's location to the area of the wye-
199 Attachment(s)
So as long as it stays on the line that goes to the lower level shower drain (the one im building in the picture) I am ok?

Burning Daylight: Button Necklaces
Another week of daylight to burn, another few necklaces. I know I'm leaving my little boy out these last few weeks but he's been the one with a million things to do each day and my daughter is the one who's sitting around a little bored.
We ended up making these button pendant necklaces I saw at Crafty Crow because the girls in the neighborhood liked the paper bead necklaces we made last week and wanted more jewelry. When there's daylight to burn, your wish is my command.
Here's my first tip O' the day. CLICK THROUGH THE LINKS when you see interesting things at a "Craft Collective" website. I thought I didn't need to click through to the original project and could figure out the process all by myself. This is a lot like my (false) belief I have a good sense of direction and don't need maps.
I decided to use a hot glue gun, buttons, wire and elastic cord to make our button pendant necklaces. (In case you didn't click through the other links (shame on you); the original idea involved plastic canvas, a needle and thread. This seems much more kid friendly than my version, even with the needle. Hot glue and the way it burns my fingertips takes me right back to those four years I spent as a day camp counselor making the (incredible) salary of $650 for six weeks of searing my fingerprints off.
Still, the kids loved what I came up with, unfortunately my process made it difficult to give a kid free reign to do the project. Maddie had total creative control over where we placed our buttons but, because I
lost the roshambo round am the oldest, I was lucky enough to burn my fingers on the hot glue.
Here is our bowl of buttons ready to go.
This is Maddie arranging her first layer of buttons (almost) exactly as she wants them.
I made our designs by layering several different buttons with a lot of (very hot) glue from the glue gun. Did I mention how it burned my fingers?
Here I am moving buttons around by demand. Maddie didn't care it was burning my fingers, she wanted a necklace. A necklace the way she wanted it to look. Is it her fault her mother didn't read all the instructions before embarking on this task? No.
To connect our necklaces I used a little wire, twisted into a loop with a long enough tail to be glued along the back of our pendant.
Here you can see the attached loop with my double chins, you know, as a bonus.
Here's another picture of the attached loop where I got wise to the double chin and tried to pretend I was looking for the mailman out the front window.
To make the pendant turn into a necklace I used the same elastic cord we used to make our paper bead necklaces last week. I cut a length to fit Maddie's neck and folded it in half, pulling the loop through the wire loop on the buttons.
I then pulled it tight, making the pendant stay put in the middle of the cord rather than swinging around from side to side like a desperate politician. [Rim Shot]
Here is our completed project when my daughter thought I wasn't going to get any of her face in the frame. Her smile is the focus in this picture, not the necklace. But we're entering the age when all smiles are precious so I thought you should see it.
Here is our completed project when my daughter realized I was getting some of her face in the frame. She is frowning, but the necklace is in focus so you can see what we ended up with.
We made four necklaces and Maddie was excited to give them to the girls down the street. We burned around an hour doing this project because we already had all the supplies we needed. On the one hand it's not a lot of daylight to burn, on the other it makes it a pretty easy project to throw together with your favorite little kid.
It's especially nice if your kid likes to see your fingers burned and relishes the chance to tell you exactly what to do (at least when it comes to placing buttons).

Anti-diabetic capacity of Curcuma longa volatile oil in terms of its ability to inhibit glucosidase activities was evaluated. Turmeric volatile oils inhibited glucosidase enzymes more effectively than the reference standard drug acarbose. Drying of rhizomes was found to enhance α-glucosidase (IC(50) = 1.32-0.38 μg/ml) and α-amylase (IC(50) = 64.7-34.3 μg/ml) inhibitory capacities of volatile oils. Ar-Turmerone, the major volatile component in the rhizome also showed potent α-glucosidase (IC(50) = 0.28 μg) and α-amylase (IC(50) = 24.5 μg) inhibition.

Tax is tricky and traders feared trouble today for Cairn Energy after news of an Indian investigation.
India's tax department contacted oil and gas explorer Cairn over sister group Cairn India. Cairn Energy owns 10% of Cairn India but in 2007, when Cairn India was floated in India, Cairn owned 68%.
Analysts at First Energy warned that if the investigation concerns "the divestiture of interests in Cairn India", it could potentially add up to hundreds of millions in liabilities.
Investors were not taking any chances and Cairn fell 11.3p to 250.8p, bottom of the FTSE 250 in London.
Morgan Stanley cut its target price to 350p and Oriel Securities experts said that although there isn't "enough information for us to make an appropriate judgment" the "uncertainty will likely (instil) negative sentiment."
The wider market was 17.64 points weaker at 6755.64 as traders retained yesterday's negative sentiment and decided to continue taking profits. Banks and miners were some of the biggest fallers in London.
Investec downgraded Lloyds Banking Group to a hold with a 85p price target as it is concerned about issues including further PPI payouts and a "possible February government" share sale as a reason the shares may fall. It declined 0.27p to 82.8p.
Retailer Sports Direct lifted 9p to 715.25p following reports the group has begun talks with Debenhams following last week's news of a complex share transaction. Department stores group Debenhams eased 0.35p to 78.3p.
Citi analysts downgraded Whitbread to neutral because of its recent share price jump and the group, which uses Lenny Henry to advertise its Premier Inn hotel chain (pictured), lost 37p to 3872p.
Fund managers with emerging markets exposure were out of favour as Morgan Stanley reduced Aberdeen Asset Management to underweight with a 393p price target and it lost 18.4p to 402.95p. Morgan Stanley rated Ashmore equalweight with a 365p price target and it slipped 12.9p to 331.5p.
Mid-tier-listed Workspace, landlord to 4000 businesses including personalised-card firm Moonpig and model Caprice's lingerie business, has seen higher-than-expected rents from recently refurbished office schemes including Exmouth House in Clerkenwell and the Pill Box in Bethnal Green. Rents from its modernised offices rose £2 million to £6 million in the nine months since the end of March, accounting for half the £4 million rise in rents in the period; shares rose 0.5p to 568p.
AIM-listed energy storage and clean-fuel group ITM Power agreed a contract with Amec and National Grid and strengthened 3.5p to 42.25p.
Paraguay-focused President Energy picked up 2.38p to 44.88p after issuing an update on its drilling prospects.
US oil and gas group Empyrean Energy got the thumbs up from analysts at Cenkos, who rated it a buy with a 20p price target, and it jetted 0.25p to 11.9p.

Megayacht market still holding strongPosted on Written by Lisa Knapp
While the small-boat market rides the cyclical waves of the U.S. economy and struggles with high fuel prices, megayacht sales are booming. The 2008 Global Order Book, a compilation of big-boat projects in progress, shows 916 new vessels of more than 80 feet under construction, a 17.9 percent increase from 2007.
Experts dont expect that market to lose steam any time soon. In fact, they say, the number of new megayachts on order is likely underestimated, with many builders, such as the Dutch giant Feadship, reporting only a portion of yachts under construction out of respect and confidentiality for its elite clientele. A growing number of newly wealthy Eastern Europeans and Russians are entering the megayacht market many as first-time buyers.
Observers of the big-boat market say the über rich are always flush with cash and ready to spend it, especially with brokerage megayachts priced to sell with liquidation pressure.
Theres always some rich guy who will take advantage of another rich guy bleeding to death in the street during a recession, says John Weller, veteran megayacht broker with Miami-based Allied Marine Group. Most wealthy people dont lose their money. Orders are holding strong, partially due to the Europeans and Russians with big bucks. The Russians are very involved in European yards, but no one building big boats wants their names splattered around.
While Weller has worked more than 100 boat shows in 35 years, he says the shows represent due diligence and yield mediocre results. Although the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show is regarded as the megayacht place-to-be, Weller says he has had better luck at Miami, which he says is more brokerage-oriented compared with the Fort Lauderdale shows new builds.
Fort Lauderdale is the kickoff to the boating season and is the first excuse for boaters to come to Florida, he says. Theyre usually not buying; theyre having fun in the Bahamas now.
Weller says boats 60 feet and under are having problems unloading, but 80- to 120-foot yachts will move if the price is right. Its easy for our business when a seller wants to get out of a boat, he says. It is easier to sell brokerage boats in a depressed market.
As for new construction, Weller says he just sold a 142-foot Richmond, and the Westport 130s are moving well.
Petrodollars at work
Worldwide, orders are holding strong, he says. Christensen [Vancouver, Wash.] is doing well and Trinity [Gulfport, Miss., and New Orleans] is packed solid.
Trinitys order book has taken a dramatic shift to international clients because of the weak dollar and emerging wealth in Eastern Europe and the Middle East. While Americans worry at the pump, the oil exporters have more money than ever, with the price of a barrel soaring to more than $140 this year before falling back in late summer.
Right now we have four boats for Russians and Eastern Europeans and three orders from clients in the Middle East, says Billy Smith, vice president of Trinity Yachts. Trinity is the nations largest custom builder, with 24 yachts under contract five of which will be on display at the Fort Lauderdale show. The oil-producing regions of the world are experiencing rapid growth, he says.
Trinity just quoted an international client on a 65-meter boat with a 38-month delivery. New 50-meter vessels of less than 500 international gross tons have a 30-month build estimate.
The trend will continue for bigger boats, says Smith. The yacht market has expanded production capacity, but is nowhere near keeping up with the wealth (and potential orders) in the world with the number of new billionaires. Only 1 percent of the people who can own a yacht have one, so our penetration is small. Nine thousand families were added to the new net worth group exceeding $250 million in 2007 many from Russia, China, India and the Ukraine. The megayacht industry is not expanding at the same pace as the number of people able to afford a megayacht.
Starter boats
Burger Boats of Manitowoc, Wis., is seeing a tremendous amount of interest in the 40- to 55-meter arena. It has five vessels under construction. New orders, depending upon delivery size, are projected for completion in 2010. Burger just delivered its first Russian twins last year, Areti I and II each 127 feet.
Were working with two Russian clients to finalize orders, says Burger president Jim Ruffolo. That portion of the market is strong, with lots of newfound money. And the exchange rate doesnt hurt, either. We have interest from the French and Americans. If people dont buy smaller boats they may not get into big ones, although the Russians start out with megas.
International Yacht Collection, a subsidiary of Trinity Yachts, reports its first half of 2008 was its best year ever, according to broker David Nichols. IYC will have 14 yachts from 100 to 165 feet at Fort Lauderdale.
[Boats] 120 feet and above are strongest, especially 150 feet, says Nichols, contending that those buyers are fairly recession-proof.
With many yards three to four years out (even longer for some European yards), Nichols sees European buyers especially Russians turning to American yards with shorter lead times.
The new Russian money appears to be spending it like it is water, Nichols says. This is reflected in charters, too. Hopefully the Persian Gulf, whose oil prices have made them wealthier than they were, will distribute some of that wealth among the poor folks here (in the U.S.).
On a hunt for deals
Nichols expects a good Fort Lauderdale show, although he acknowledges there will be many bottom feeders looking for deals, while others wait for the presidential election, just days later, before committing to megayachts.
Show Management Inc., the shows producer, expects a strong megayacht presence similar to last year, says spokesperson Andrew Doole.
In this business youre noticed by your absence, so you can assume all the girls are coming to the prom and will be dressed to kill, says Mike Joyce, CEO of Hargrave Yachts in Fort Lauderdale.
Hargrave will have nine megayachts on display, including its new, 84-foot raised pilothouse. Its looking for a good show from its 100 percent American clientele, although Joyce concedes he may have to work hard for those sales.
It will be tough to sign business at the show unless you have some drop-dead, breathtaking deal lying on the table, Joyce says. Buyers dont need a lot of excuses to wait. Prospective buyers will be concentrating on their own business and looking for opportunities as competitors stumble or fall. Guys with tons of cash are even harder to sell because they believe, in major economic downturns, they should buy yachts for half-price, just like they see in real estate, financial securities, and other assets that were fueled by speculation and then collapse.
With full-time programs under way in Dubai and Europe and its European show debut at Cannes, Hargrave is working with the U.S. Commerce Department on opening up Russia.
PJs five-year vision
Palmer Johnson of Sturgeon Bay, Wis., is reaping the benefits of it efforts in Europe, a five-year journey thus far for CEO Mike Kelsey, who keeps racking up frequent flier miles across the pond.
Strategically, five years ago, PJ geared for a world market, not just building for the U.S., and we are seeing the fruits of that labor now, Kelsey says. We continue to see the same trends that have evolved over the past 36 months in European and Eastern European clients, along with a few U.S. clients. [The order book] is running 80 percent European over American, and I see that trend continuing for a time, but everything is cyclical and the American market will rebound at some point for us.
Kelsey says he is confident about our decision to build sport yachts and build all types of vessels in Norway and England. But were still fairly bullish on the market continuing to grow with business at PJ. People will continue to purchase megayachts, with products becoming smarter and more efficient, with engine manufacturers doing the same thing, i.e., engines that use less fuel.
Peoria, Ill.-based Caterpillar, one of those engine builders, says it is enjoying tremendous growth.
They (Caterpillar) live off backlogs, not new orders, so for them, business is great, Joyce says. At Hargrave, we are 100 percent CAT-powered, and we have to play that loyalty card repeatedly at the very highest levels in Peoria in order to get Caterpillar engines when we need them. CAT doesnt have to do card tricks to get orders.
Other megayacht product suppliers, such as Fort Lauderdale-based Palladium Technologies, are looking forward to a good Fort Lauderdale show. Palladium designs yacht monitoring systems, alarm security software and entertainment systems.
The megayacht industry is Teflon-proof, says Palladium vice president Karen Blake. The orders keep coming on new builds and we have a lot more inquiries from overseas, especially Russia. I was in Lesters Diner and heard three guys speaking Russian.
Blake says small-vessel brokers will have a tough time at the Fort Lauderdale show, but thinks it will be a great show for the megayacht crowd, barring a hurricane.
I gave up trying to predict [the Fort Lauderdale show], says Smith. I thought 2005 would be a disaster with Wilma, and we sold seven boats between [the show] and the end of the year. Serious buyers came.

any interest in a lease takeover?
Hi all,
I have a 2011 laredo-x, <edit: as of Sep 28, mileage is just over 5,000>, considering giving it up (love it, but I live in manhattan and we're only using it once every couple of weeks, just feels like a waste).
laredo 25-X
mineral grey
black leather
hemi, 4x4
nav (430)
(I don't know if this is still the same, but when I picked it up it was almost impossible to find this color combo in laredo trim, without the 'anniversary' trim with all the extra logos etc on the seats...)
Would be <edit: a 24-month lease from now, Sep> 34K miles remaining on the allowance (aka 17K miles/year)
payment is 568 - but you'd have ZERO down to initiate. should be extremely competitive with going new.
The car has been perfect. no issues. Got a good one, I think. Perfect condition, has spent almost every day in the garage.
Feel free to PM with questions!
Re: any interest in a lease takeover?
Post up some pics :) I see it has a sunroof, is it the big dual sunroof?
Re: any interest in a lease takeover?
re-upping this. Still not using the car and still feels like a waste that it's sitting in a garage in manhattan!
Car now has ~5K miles.
Would effectively be a 24 month/18K mile lease for $550/month all-in, with zero down. I _might_ also consider paying someone to take over the lease, in the right situation.
I don't have pics, but happy to take some for a serious inquirier.
Great deal for someone who needs a short lease with lots of miles.
Re: any interest in a lease takeover?
$550 a month? I thought it was $568?
Re: any interest in a lease takeover?
making excuses for no pics or showing any proof?:rolleyes:
do you have a rich uncle in the royal faimly in nigeria waiting to give me $1 million dollars also :lol:
Re: any interest in a lease takeover?
It would help if you posted pics so people could see the vehicle, it might generate more interest.:thumbsup:
Re: any interest in a lease takeover?
Send me a PM. I might be interested but have lots of questions.
Re: any interest in a lease takeover?
Thought I had my notifications set up so I'd get emails when people replied...sorry for those who sent PM's and I was slow to respond.
Do PM for photos and I can email. Have done so for a couple of others.
My plan was to hack Ally's phone number so that it would ring to my cousin's house, then have him act like he was an Ally employee, and then also hack their fax line so that when the application is submitted, it comes to me. THEN, I was going to put together a fake Ally lease document, and have someone sign it.
And THEN - the best part of my elaborate scam that you uncovered - I was going to take nothing from the person taking the car, and give them my car.
(You might want to lay off the paranoia pills, friend.)
Re: any interest in a lease takeover?
Re: any interest in a lease takeover?
It's $556.73, to be precise. :)
I am more than happy to honor the $550 rounding I made.
If someone from this site ends up taking over the lease, I will include an envelope with $432 cash in it, and you can thank this post.
Re: any interest in a lease takeover?
When I was shopping I looked everywere in the NE and couldn't find one in mineral, with the hemi, with the nav, and with the bigger sunroof...
Re: any interest in a lease takeover?
Why did you pick such a high-mileage lease when you don't drive it? That's what killed your payment. Good luck.

Liverpool v Everton Preview
Liverpool v Everton Preview:
Premier League: Saturday, 14th April 2012 12:30
Author: Thomas Rooney 11/04/2012
It is the battle of Merseyside at Wembley on Saturday lunch-time when Liverpool and Everton go head to head in the FA Cup semi-final.
Both teams will know how important this game is for their season and there is no doubt that the fans will expect nothing but victory. Defeat in this fixture always hurts, but on such a big occasion, it would surely be almost unbearable.
Going into the game, Liverpool are the favourites despite their inferior league position. After an extremely inconsistent campaign, they find themselves 8th in the Premier League and a point adrift of the Toffees.
They have been on a particularly poor run of late too, losing plenty of games in the last month or so. However, on Tuesday evening, they managed a morale boosting 3-2 victory at Blackburn Rovers.
This was only their second Premier League win in ten games and although they had to work hard for it – Liverpool's keeper was sent-off and Blackburn missed a penalty – it was a valuable three points and a priceless confidence boost ahead of this weekend.
As for Everton, they go into this semi-final on the back of a fantastic run of form that has seen them overtake Liverpool over the last few weeks. They now sit 7th in the table and will be aiming for victory in this semi-final to add another exciting element to a season that has continuously gained momentum.
Looking specifically at their form, Everton have won three of their last four games, conceding just two goals in the process. They have also only lost twice since the defeat against Tottenham on the 11th January.
Like Liverpool, they go into this semi-final on the back of a decent Premier League victory. David Moyes' men hammered Sunderland 4-0 at Goodison Park and even managed to rest some key players – including new striking sensation Nikica Jelavic – for this weekend's meeting with Liverpool.
In the two Premier League fixtures between these two this season, it is Liverpool that come out on top on both occasions. They won 2-0 at Goodison Park, before a 3-0 victory over their local rivals at Anfield last month.
If Everton can secure victory this time around though, it would outweigh both of those defeats. They are above Liverpool in the league after all.
Overall, it is a game that is extremely tough to call. However, Liverpool have suited playing in cup competitions this year and in the end it is the Red side of Merseyside that will come out on top. Perhaps on penalties.

lol, i just remembered an ait at ft devens...
on a friday they asked for volunteers to be agressors. being I didn't have anything else planned my dumb ass volunteered. come saturday we got together and were given packs with trip flares etc (some of you can see where this is going, you never get that stuff as agressors). so into a truck we go and got to the site where we were given our instructions and told good luck (that should have been a no brainer for a red flag right there).
anyway we made our way to the camp we were supposed to attack and began our setup or flares and such unbenownst to us our asses had already been screwed. so now onto our attack where we found noone until one idiot opened his mouth. The woods literally came alive and toward us from all different directions (at that time they wore black berets). we were so screwed since not one of us noticed we walked right over an op on our way there. we literally lit the woods up that night running through our own booby traps and we later found after we regrouped the few of us left, that the rest were either tied to trees or duct taped to them. all of us were black and blue for one reason or another, mostly from getting our butts beat on, running into trees, tripping, etc.
I learned right then and there to always ask who your agressing... special forces doesn't play around, and they were taking it easy on us.
