Pac-12 Championship: Washington (11-1) vs. Colorado (10-2) Game Preview
Date: Friday, December 2
Game Time: 9:00 pm
Venue: Levi's Stadium, Santa Clara, CA
Network: FOX
Bowl and Conference Implications
While it's not a sure thing, Washington – No. 4 in the second-to-last CFP rankings – should be in the playoff with a win. At the very worst, it'll be in the Rose Bowl with a loss. Colorado would need a miracle to get into the College Football Playoff, but it would be in the Rose Bowl with a win, and there's a chance to still get to Pasadena with a loss and a good showing. At No. 8 and USC No. 11, the Buffs can't drop too far, otherwise they'd likely be off to the Alamo Bowl.
What Does Each Team Need To Do?
The two teams are about as dead even as it gets. The one big difference? Colorado played Michigan and is on the outside of the College Football Playoff looking in, while Washington got Rutgers in its Big Ten matchup.
Both teams have been phenomenal stories with plenty of energy coming from the two fan bases, setting up what could and should be the best Pac-12 Championship yet, especially with playoff implications.
For the Huskies to take advantage of them, they've got to figure out how to crack the code of the Colorado defense.
The Buffaloes might have an efficient and balanced offense, but they're in Santa Clara because of a defense that held down Washington State when it had to, while coming through clutch time and again against everyone but Michigan in the second half.
The pass rush is just okay, but the D doesn't miss open-field stops and the secondary has been swarming, especially late allowing Arizona, Washington State and Utah to combine to hit fewer than half their passes, while allowing under 50% completion percentage in four of the last six games and seven times this year with 15 picks and allowing 13 scores.
They'll give up yards, but other than the loss to USC, they don't give up big plays. Washington's offense lives on big plays.
Fourth in the nation in passing efficiency defense, now the Buffs have to face the nation's second-most efficient passing game and one of the hottest quarterbacks in college football.
Jake Browning had a spotty few games against USC and Arizona State – throwing four of his seven picks on the year – and blew that off with a brilliant performance against Wazzu last week, roaring though the Apple Cup with a 292-yard, three-score day averaging over ten yards per throw.
Against Colorado, Browning and the offense have to be a little bit patient, and they have to try getting physical from the start. That's easier than it sounds against a Colorado defensive front that held up more than fine against Michigan, USC and Utah – the Buffs don't get bowled over.
But while Browning vs. the Colorado D might be the main matchup, this could be Sefo Liufau's moment for the Buffalo O. With just three picks on the year – two of them coming in the win over UCLA – Liufau doesn't make a whole slew of mistakes, but he doesn't carry the offense, either. His job is to keep the chains moving and take what's there hitting third down play after third down play.
Both teams dominate defensively, both teams are ultra-efficient offensively, both teams crush the turnover margin – Washington is first in the nation, Colorado eighth – and both teams struggle to crank up the big punting yards.
If it sounds like this is a dead-even Pac-12 title game, yeah, it is.
What's Going To Happen?
There have been five of these things so far with this the first time without Oregon or Stanford. Four of those first five were awful, and the one decent one – Stanford over Arizona 27-24 for the 2012 championship – didn't really have much of a national impact.
This one will.
Colorado is being nationally dismissed because it's Colorado, and no one saw this coming, but it's the 100% real deal. Washington is, too, but again, if the schedules were flipped and the Huskies played in Ann Arbor and the Buffs hosted the Scarlet Knights, the script would be flipped.
Both teams are brilliant, and both teams are alike in so many ways, but the Washington offensive line is a bit stronger, the pass rush better, and the defense as a whole is better at getting into the backfield.
Washington also has PK Cameron Van Winkle, who's hit 14-of-18 field goals with just one miss since September, while Colorado's kicking game is a wee bit shakier.
It'll be just that close to come down to a big kick, and Washington will get it.

The tenor of contract talks between United (UAL) and its flight attendants, which have gone nowhere for five years, improved suddenly thanks to the involvement of CEO Oscar Munoz.
"Oscar has an actual vision for the airline: It's a night and day change," said Sara Nelson, president of the Association of Flight Attendants, which represents United's 24,000 flight attendants. "I have worked with a lot of managements. I have never seen a CEO this engaged and this committed to the success of the company."
Nelson said she expects that a deal can be negotiated in the next several months. United spokeswoman Megan McCarthy said, "We are meeting with the AFA regularly and we are fully committed to reaching an agreement."
The turnabout follows the five-year tenure of Jeff Smisek as United CEO and comes at a critical time for the airline, which is resisting a bid by two hedge funds to add six members to its 15 member board.
"You see how screwed up United was under Smisek, but finally we have a turn of events here," she said. Recounting details of a Feb. 4 meeting with Munoz, Nelson said, "He said every decision that needs to be made needs to be run through a filter of 'the human factor.' That was absent with Smisek. He was aloof and not engaged."
Munoz "is a guy who understands that the airline business is about people," Nelson said. "He made more changes in {his first} six weeks than we had seen in five years. That first day we met, it was clear that United management finally was interested in getting a deal."
Two hedge funds, Altimeter Capital and PAR Capital, which hold 7.1% of United shares, said last week that they will run a slate of six nominees for the board, which is up to 15 members after United added three this month. A shareholder vote is expected to occur at United's 2016 annual meeting, which hasn't yet been scheduled.
Most union leaders including Nelson have publicly declared their strong support for Munoz, who has signed a contract extension with pilots and opened negotiations on a contract extension with the International Association of Machinists, which represents agents and fleet service. However, talks with the Teamsters union, which represents the mechanics, have not gone so well, and the Teamsters have said they are considering whether to back the hedge funds.
"The hedge funds are a distraction at exactly the wrong time," Nelson said. "The timing is suspect. And they would not protect shareholder value for the long term."

In an article by CNBC it was estimated that 2012 will finish with 230,000 layoffs from U.S. banks. In addition, it's estimated that banks may layoff an additional 150,000 workers in 2012 which only feeds fuel to the fire of the many angry Americans and their perception of banks. It could take years to unravel the many problems of U.S. banks but if we consider the many layoffs, new regulations, the housing crisis, and the European financial crisis it's obvious that the banking industry's immediate future doesn't look so bright. However, is that reason for U.S. banks to be laying off so many of its employees? And are large banks facing such a crisis that there is a need to layoff so many workers?
|Revenue (TTM)
|Net Income (MRQ)
|$65.78 Billion
|$3.771 Billion
|Bank of America
|$75.36 Billion
|$6.232 Billion
|$93.43 Billion
|$4.262 Billion
|Wells Fargo
|$72.87 Billion
|$4.055 Billion
|Morgan Stanley
|$34.69 Billion
|$2.199 Billion
When 5 of the largest banks in the U.S. have posted more than $20.5 billion in net income during its most recent quarter it's difficult to justify so many layoffs. As you can see each of these companies have reported a fairly substantial year in revenue over the last 12 months despite new regulations, low interest rates, and a slumping housing market. And although we don't know what will become of the economy during the next several years I see no reason why so many employees have been laid off during the last year and why so many are expected to be laid off in 2012.
As I said, there are problems that may lurk in the future that could drastically affect the banking industry, but we simply don't know to what extremity. During the last year there have been several changes to regulations that are expected to affect the revenue of the largest banking companies, and investors fear that even more may come in the future. Each of these banks has to operate with high costs despite dropping interest rates which is limiting its revenue to an additional degree. And as of late, the feds along with private investors and state attorney generals are investigating into the mortgage crisis and the banks influence on the crisis which could bring even more lawsuits than what each of these banks have already faced.
This upcoming week could be even worse for the banking industry as housing data may be the driving force of the economy. During the first three days of trading we will receive data regarding home builders confidence, housing starts in November, and existing home sales. This data could expose further issues into the housing crisis which is expected to come under heavy scrutiny with an additional claim that the housing market may be worse than expected and data may be incorrect because of double counts. A report is expected to be released this week, which isn't expected to affect interest rates or home prices but will show weaker data surrounding the housing market. The current state of the housing market and the number of potential lawsuits that banking companies could face is mindboggling and is a large contributor of fear among banking executives, investors, and even consumers.
As investors I think we sometimes forget about the people who are being hurt by the choices of banking executives to cut employment costs to satisfy investors and meet quarterly expectations. When you really stop and think about the fact that these five companies reported a combined net income of more than $20.5 billion during the last quarter but are firing more than 230,000 middle class Americans it makes you consider the possible driving force behind the decision. A company firing so many employees may look good on a balance sheet but it keeps those who are losing their jobs unable to contribute to economic growth. These 230,000 people are being forced to cut costs much more aggressively than any of the large banks. Most are unable to vacation and don't have expendable income to dine out, buy merchandise or new vehicles. In addition these people cannot contribute to the economy with taxes because you can't pay something that you haven't earned, which places even more stress on American debt and the unemployment numbers which are so crucial to the performance of the stock market.
With each passing day it seems the banking industry becomes less valued and more employees are laid off, while company executives are being compensated with larger bonuses. Bank of America posted the largest amount of income among the five banks but recently implemented a $5 checking fee that only affects its less wealthy customers. Yet after months of protest and angry customers the fee was lifted, but not before 1000's of customers switched banks and more than 300,000 of its customers signed a petition demanding the fee be reversed. The number of those being laid off compared to the amount of income being reported doesn't add up and makes you consider why these banks are making such drastic changes.
The bottom line is that we simply don't know the problems that may arise in the financial markets during the next few years. I've heard analysts trying to predict how exposed American banks are to the European financial crisis, or the euro zone, however the numbers are so large that I'm yet to hear anyone who can give a specific percentage of the banking industry that's exposed to this crisis. In addition, we don't know what part these companies played in giving home loans to unqualified borrowers. It seems like every other week we hear of yet another lawsuit as a result of the banking industries decisions during the financial crisis in 2008. And with the number of lawsuits against banks, the new regulations, the housing crisis, and the unknown exposure to Europe we must consider that the decision to layoff so many employees may mean that trouble is on the horizon and that the financial industry is much more troubled than what we realize.
I will conclude by saying the banking industry and the executives of the large financial institutions have the ability to contribute and change the state of our economy. It's difficult to judge the financial impact of 230,000 less employees, however this number is estimated throughout the entire banking industry, not just the five banks that I've mentioned. However, if the average salary of the laid off employees was $50,000 annually then these five banks could've paid everyone of the laid off employees and still posted a large profit. This fact leads me to believe one of two scenarios: either the future costs and expenditures are far greater than what we expect or it's simply a situation where large publicly traded companies are trying to meet quarterly expectations. I've been bullish regarding the economy for the last two years and I haven't changed my disposition because of the euro crisis. I believe the economy is growing and that the only substantial issues within our economy are high unemployment rates, a stalled real estate industry, and even increased costs of materials. Therefore I don't believe these changes are related to future problems within the economy nor do I believe that these large banks are cutting costs in preparation of more difficult days ahead.
In my opinion, the decision to lay off thousands of people was an attempt to control the stock and meet expectations. Regardless of what issues lie ahead within the financial market most banking stocks are already priced for a recession. And if you compare the fundamentals of large banks today to the years of the recession you would see that these banks are much fundamentally stronger. Yet these banks choose to layoff a large number of employees, and this fact is one of the many issues that have so many people angry at the banking industry. We spent so much money bailing these banks out and it doesn't appear they are making the contributions to help the economy. These banks could've very easily avoided any layoffs and still posted a profit. And the truth is that I don't think it matters what these banks report in earnings; it appears they're all trading lower regardless of fundamentals because of the global economy and the fear surrounding Europe. Considering the amount of money these companies are earning and the number of people they are laying off I don't see how investors can be bullish and I understand why Americans are frustrated, and even angry, at how these banks are spending the money that tax payers spent in order to keep them afloat. I think next year will be interesting and we'll see if there any additional expenditures that drove executives to make the decisions to fire employees. However, I doubt that any regulations or new charges will affect the bottom line of these banks. Because what the government doesn't realize is that they can tax and take money from the banks all year long and all it will do is result in more employees getting laid off. These companies are going to meet quarterly expectations regardless of any action by the government. And until there is a regulation in place that limits the number of layoffs by large public companies they will continue to layoff, which will continue to keep our economy at a stall with higher unemployment rates and ultimately keep banking stocks lower.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.

Man who "bit rat's head off in viral video" appears in court
A man has appeared in court in Queensland, Australia, charged with biting a rat's head off.
24-year-old Matthew Maloney, aka Mad Matt, was charged by RSPCA investigators after posting a video online in January, which appears to show him chomp down on a living rodent.
The viral video shows Maloney storm into a room, get hit by a fluorescent tube, allegedly bite a rat's head off and wash it down with three shots of vodka, get punched in the face, and have a chair broken over his back.
Maloney took to Facebook to defend his actions, writing:
"That rat in the video was a feeder rat and was always going to die. I fed the body to my snake after the video and it wasnt wasted."
"I killed that rat 10 times quicker then the snake could of. I'm sure 90% of you have rat poison and rat traps in your homes right now. So stop acting like a bunch of sissies and accept the food chain."
"All your comments are cracking me up and not one person out there will be able to say anything that will make me feel bad or make me regret what i did."

Synopsis for "Shoot-Out In Central Park!"Edit
Continued from last issue.. While fighting the Tarantula, Spider-Man finds himself under the gun of the Punisher, who believes that the wall-crawler is in on the kidnapping of the ships crew. The Tarantula allows the Punisher to believe this, prompting a fight between Spider-Man and the Punisher allowing the Tarantula and his men to escape. When the Punisher realizes that he's been duped, he stops his fight with Spider-Man and tells the wall-crawler to meet him at midnight at the museum in Fort Tryon before jumping overboard. Spider-Man flees the ship when the crew (who still believe that he had something to do with the hijacking) crowd around him. He changes into Peter Parker in the water and pretends that he needs to be rescued. He manages to convince Mary Jane that he was knocked overboard, however he fails to convince Flash Thompson, who is becoming suspicious of Peter's double identity.
After phoning Jameson to report that Spider-Man saved the cruise and that he got pictures of Spider-Man's fight with the Tarantula. While he showers in his apartment later, he doesn't hear Harry sneak into his room and snoop around for his Spider-Man costume. When Harry finds it, he is convinced that Peter is really Spider-Man and quietly leaves.
At midnight, Spider-Man meets with the Punisher at their designated meeting place, there the Punisher shows Spider-Man slides of the Tarantula telling Spider-Man of his origins: How he was a member of freedom fighters in a South American country, however his violent ways had him kicked out of group of revolutionaries. The Tarantula would eventually change sides and be turned into his countries answer to Captain America to fight the revolutionaries. However, his love of violence would get him in hot-water with his leaders again, and so he had fled the country to the United States, where he set himself up as a mercinary.
With Spider-Man briefed, the two go after the Tarantula attacking his safe house, the Punisher with the help of Spider-Man defeats the Tarantula and his men. After they have been bound up, the Punisher bids farewell to the wall-crawler. While at the warehouse that Spider-Man had his final battle against the original Green Goblin, Harry Osborn has come to collect his fathers device, to get revenge against the man who killed him -- Peter Parker, the Amazing Spider-Man.

This Ayrshire farm is a busy livery yard and stud which has produced 120,000kWh of electricity in its first three years.
The site has electricity requirements for lighting and equipment such as a horse walker. The main farm house and a self-catering cottage also operate an electrical heating system.
Key objective: To reduce energy bills
The owner of this farm wanted to reduce his energy bills by generating electricity from a renewable source. After substantial research into the various options available, the Gaia-Wind 133-11kW turbine was chosen based on its power production and performance in moderate wind speeds.
Site conditions
The turbine is sited in open fields about 70m NNE of the main farm buildings, on a gentle south-east slope. Apart from the farm buildings themselves there is little to obstruct wind flow in the turbine vicinity.
This site has good moderate winds with an estimated annual average wind speed of 6.6m/sat turbine height of 18m.
Turbine Performance
Commissioned in 2008 the turbine has produced 120,000kWh of green electricity in its first 3 years of operation giving a daily average production of 98kWh and offsetting 20 tonnes of CO2 production annually. About half of the electricity generated is used onsite resulting in a significant reduction in energy bills, and the remainder is sold to the grid.
'…production figures are consistent with predictions but far exceed the estimates of the local energy consultants who are amazed by its overall production. Visitors are impressed that it is so quiet and that it is productive even in reasonably light winds…'. Turbine owner

After receiving her diagnosis of having a brain tumor, going through numerous chemotherapy sessions and surgical procedures, and coming out of the whole ordeal alive, Shala Hassani, a former IT manager for Siemens, decided to celebrate her positive prognosis and show her appreciation for life by paying it forward and starting a charity. In 2007, Hassani founded Tikva Children's Charities, a non-profit organization that collects donations and gives the proceeds to various children's charities or to people in need. Tikva, which means "hope" in Farsi–Hassani's native language–was the perfect name for the charity because, while Hassani was going through her physical challenges as a result of her diagnosis, she never gave up the hope that she would fight her disease and survive.
Tikva Children's Charities is one of the very few charities that are run by volunteers who do not receive a salary. As Hassani stated, "I have mostly ladies who volunteer to help me with my charity along with my mother, Malihah." Since the charity is run by volunteers, 100 percent of the proceeds go directly into the charity. What is also unique and special about the charity is that, persons who donate to the charity get to choose where the money made from their donated items benefit, or who the items—if in good and usable condition—go to. Hassani also explained that, if she holds a fundraiser, she decides where the proceeds from the fundraiser go—one of her favorite charities is St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Also, if the donations are small, those donating usually allow Hassani choose where they should go. If, however, the donations are large, then those donating the items get to choose where the proceeds or those items benefit.
The donation plant, which was donated by Dr. Sima Hassani, is located in San Martin, California on a 10-acre, post-walnut tree orchard. People who wish to donate can take any used or new items to the plant, where they will then be sorted and/or sold. Hassani also stated that, "We also identify who the needy families are or the single moms with kids. When we decipher who is in need of our services and items, we go directly to their residence and take to them what people have donated to us, like household items, furniture, or whatever they may need. Or, we may also buy them food or groceries, or give them money for groceries or gift-cards for certain stores so they can buy what they need for their family and their household."
Aside from founding the charity, Hassani has put $10,000 of her own money into the charity to purchase unique jewelry from various local jewelry designers and jewelry makers. She then takes the jewelry and goes to, or holds various fundraising events throughout the Bay Area. Any money collected from the jewelry sales go directly back into supporting the operations of the charity. As Hassani explained, "One thing I decided to do was to purchase beautiful jewelry from different designers and different makers; that's another way I can make more money for the charity—by selling these beautiful jewelry pieces—and at the same time get myself into various events so I can get the word out about my charity, promote my charity, and make our name known. Sometimes my daughter Roxanne makes the sketches of the jewelry and then we have them made, or she helps me purchase certain pieces."
The most recent event Hassani attended was Leyina Chen's Woman's Day Gala, held at the Decathlon Club on April 16, 2011. At the event, Hassani's jewelry was fondly received, as many guests of the event made their way over to her booth to try on and purchase many of her dazzling jewelry pieces—pieces which included rings, necklaces, earrings and bracelets.
So, if you have a love for jewelry along with a passion for helping others, Tikva Children's Charities is a worthy cause to consider the next time you either want to buy a new ring or donate your old sofa. You will not only bring hope through fashion, but your donation will also assist kids and people who deserve a helping hand.

Anne Hathaway is brilliant – and even if she's not your cup of tea, just watch the video above.
The latest episode of Spike's Lip Sync Battle – a spin off to Jimmy Fallon's popular segment – featured The Devil Wears Prada rivals Emily Blunt and Anne Hathaway, who faced off against each other with microphones and a whole lot of flair.
The hilarious throw down began with Hathaway's rendition of Mary J. Blige's "Love" and Blunt's brilliant performance of Blackstreet's "No Diggity." However, the entire thing soon escalated to another level when both the actors decided to bring in the big guns.
Blunt donned fur and rose-colored glasses for her take on Janis Joplin's "Piece of My Heart," but it was Hathaway's mind-blowing reenactment of Miley Cyrus' most-parodied hit "Wrecking Ball" that made audience go wild with excitement.
The Academy Award winner walked onto the stage wearing a crop top, black sweats and ridiculously dramatic expressions, but as the song progressed, she stripped off the sweats, jumped on a literal wrecking ball and flipped off Blunt.
The insane aerial performance even earned Hathaway the championship belt.
Anna Kendrick, Justin Bieber and John Krasinski are set to appear on Lip Sync Battle later in the season..

He's got a little time to work, but I have a lot more time. I work as a tech consultant for startups so you would think I would have a great idea for us to invest in. But I dont...I am good at starting businesses from an administrative standpoint (state filings, accounting, technical setup, websites, emails etc), but don't have actionable ideas with a lump sum of money.I have considered buying established business (searching places like this) as well as online businesses through flippa.com, but have a problem with the real valuation of a company. Plus from what I have seen on flippa, if a site is netting 10k/month, they want at least $120k...and its hard to judge the validity of their numbers and growth potential. And we dont care about the stigma of the industry (ie adult/gambling).

Hello from John York with Durgan & Associates. I have a one year old restaurant named Chickies, The developer / owner has health problems and is going to sell his life long dream. I am working with him to franchise this concept. You can buy this with $ 100,000 down and the balance owner finance. The first 15 months operating numbers are great. This business is located at Lake of the Ozarks, MO I have two other stores to be built and would pay franchise fees to you monthly. John York 636 497 5597
I am always skeptical when I hear a business owner who wants to sell for anything less than about 3x cash flow. Are there numb business owners who are bad at arithmetic? Sure, but most business owners are very smart. Why would a smart business owner sell a legitimate company for "5 times the monthly net", as one poster wrote below? The seller will make that much money before the escrow closes.Most of those "deals" are bogus (phony numbers, problems ahead, more work than disclosed, etc.). I firmly believe you get what you pay for, and if you're able to buy a company for 1/2 x cash flow, there is a red flag somewhere.If you can buy a legitimate business that is netting $10k per month for $120k, that is a bargain! Just go in with skepticism, and verify EVERYTHING. Then, turn around and sell it for what it's really worth, doubling your money.Sorry, I have seen thousands of these low multiple "deals", and have never seen a single one that was as represented. Be careful.
BryanCheck our listings, click on my name then "my links" call me to get started
OK reality check. You can start a business which pays you nothing. Or you can buy a business which might get you $10k a month. Big difference. Doesn't sound like you want to start from scratch. The valuation problem is very real but can be overcome. If you go the Flippa route there is no reason in the world you can't do it with less than $120k. If the niche is half decent you shouldn't have a growth problem either - just have to push the right marketing buttons. Don't think for three seconds you have to pay all cash even if you meet the asking price, which you should never do. Offer 40% down on a $20,000 site and build it up. Bid 5 times the monthly net. And buy another site once you get the feel.
BryanI hear this situation A LOT! Here's my best advice. Do something that you absolutely love, believe in and doesn't feel like work to you. Create a product or service around something that you love doing and that way, when you're putting in 80 - 90 hours a week at it you're not tired or burned out because it's something you love doing. The more time, effort and focus you can put into your idea the more likely you are to succeed. Second piece of advice - Test, Test, Test, Test, Test, Test.Once you come up with an idea test it. Go to malls in your area and test your idea. See if people would like it, buy it, and ask for feedback. Most important question once you find out if they like the product is how much they would be will to pay for it. Price it accordingly. Document everything because if you need further funding, investors like to see that you have been constantly testing and revising your product or service.There is a lot that goes into this but I hope it's a good start for you. Best of luck and hope this helps.
i have a 12 year old sports web site with a google rank of 4, and 20,000 visitors per month, email me if your interested,firstname.lastname@example.com

Hey Bryan, i may sound like a broken record but I would suggest you look at franchises available. You have the FTC on your side with the Disclosure Document and such, so you should be able to determine of you are getting a good deal. You can visit current franchisees to see if you can fall in love with the brand, system and product before you make a cash investment. Maybe you will make more money by pulling a roulette wheel but there are no guarantees there. The cost of looking at a franchise is "time" and you should spend due dilligence time anyway. good luck, Jon at Edgemaster.

Where do you want to start the business if it's brick & mortar?Valuation is generally based on Tax Returns, P&L Statement (prepared by an accountant), or Owner To Prove plus market conditions to determine an accepted multiple times owners benefit.Once you make an offer, you should have a due diligence period so you will have enough time to verify the numbers and other pertinent information.Go to my website and look at many businesses for sell in various industries (there are approximately over 5000).

Hello, Utatane Piko here.
Right, so lots of people make their own covers of Vocaloids doing other Vocaloids songs. For example, Rin Kagamine singing World is Mine by Miku Hatsune. Well After surfing YouTube for who knows how long, I found my favourite covers done by me! And just to let you know, I don't own the songs, or even my voice. Nope, all the work belongs to someone else.
3. Disappearance of Utatane Piko
Originally Named: Disappearance of Hatsune Miku

I love how this song combines spoken words, muffled noises and other random inserts. And I think everyone loves the incredible speed at the start, middle and at the end. It was really hard to find a good cover of this song though, but luckily I found someone who put in a lot of effort into preparing this.
2. Ah, It's a Wonderful Cat's Life
Originally Sung By: Megpoid Gumi and Kagamine Len
Accompaniment: Megpoid Gumi
Video Made by: TsugineKakoVocaindo (Youtube)
Okay, so I love this cover for multiple reasons. Firstly because WOW! Who would've thought Gumi and I sounded so good together? This song really compliments my singing style since it's not too low, and it doesn't make me sound like a girl either by being too high. It actually doesn't sound like a cover, more like an original song, that's how well the maker did.
1. Heat-Haze Days
Originally Sung By: Hatsune Miku
Video Made by: AbstractCactus (Youtube)
I cannot explain in words how much I love this cover. It is the best cover I have ever heard me do. And like the previous song, it doesn't sound like a cover as it does an original song. I think this song shows that I can sing low too, and sing low well!
Well, if you happen to come across any other good covers by me, tell me! I'd love to hear about them and hear about everyones hard efforts. I also love seeing fan art. I'll probably do a post later with my favourite fan art. Although there will probably be a lot more then three. I'll be blogging again soon though.

Is a date a huge issue?
It seems like when I ask out a woman for something simple like coffee or mini golf, they treat it as though I've asked them to marry me...
I see a date as something where you want to get to know your crush. The person who asks out pays for something simple, and fun, and you get to know whether or not you'd like too continue seeing your "crush" or if you choose not to. Depending on the situation, you probably dress nicer and try to look nice for the date... but to me, that's about it. Be polite, spend some time, hopefully have some fun...
But a lot of women seem to run away, and or start silent treatment. It feels to me that I've somehow offended them. I probably wouldn't get as weird a look as I've gotten if I mentioned I was pregnant with alien baby goo.
It even seems like this happens when I invite women to hang out ( like a pre date), or even when I'm not interested and it's completely platonic.
Half the time I don't even mention the "d word" the first time I invite them out, just in case it's the "date concept" that freaks people out...
There have only been a select few cases where the woman is ok with spending (non date) time with me; where she doesn't completely freak out or get angry and offended when I asked her to hang out or go out on a date. I can think of maybe 4 women in total, two whom I've been set up with or dated, and two being actually platonic friends.
Is a date really a big issue, (or even a simple invite) and why would it be something offensive if a guy you're not interested in asks you out?
Ok, if he were a jerk about it, then yeah, but if you ladies get respect the whole time...
Personally, I'd be flattered if a woman told me I was cute, or asked me out, even if I wouldn't be interested in dating her.
Most Helpful Girl
I think that one of the problems about the dating world (or lack there of it I should say) is that people don't seem to date a whole lot any more. It seems like people just jump into committed relationships instead of actually dating the person first.
So yeah I do think it's true that women freak out a bit when guys actually ask them out, because it really doesn't happen very often. And also, women can also be kinda wary of the guy because especially if you don't know him, you don't know what his intentions are.
I think it's smart of you to stay away from the term "date", but I think you should really keep asking to hang out and such. Just don't come on too strong, keep it casual, maybe suggest to come out with a group of friends, tell her that she can bring a couple of hers as well. That way it's not too stressful for anyone.00|00|0

Investment fund sponsors are becoming acutely aware of the increased demands of oversight in managing institutional assets.
In addition to the pressure to seek greater absolute returns in what many pundits predict will be an environment of modest returns,
sponsors are also dealing with the expanding regulatory scrutiny and regulations to observe, the flow of new and ever more complex
investment products, and the need to adjust their funds dynamically to rapid market changes. To meet those needs, DeMarche founded Discretionary
Management services, LLC (DMS) which is a registered investment advisor and an affiliate of DeMarche Associates, Inc.
"Institutional Consulting
teamed with quality, low-priced alpha from around the globe
- always with an emphasis on downside protection."
Bob Marchesi, Founder
This service provides discretionary oversight of the total portfolio for fund sponsors who wish to outsource the investment management function. DMS helps clients define their investment policy and construct their portfolios. Then, DMS takes on the issues of selecting the best managers and rebalancing various investment strategies.

Breakfast was included which made the stay even better! highly recommended for couples who are looking for a romantic place to spend time with each other.

Today's a long day including joining the chats which sometimes no one spoke. Fairy Tail inspired me a lot after I saw it on TV last year during my holiday. This show taught me that we should not give up and some other values. I wish everyone could understand about what this show is talking about and having fun while you are thinking about the values. Good luck! XD
Cheers, Cindy aka I luv Fairy Tail!!!

AN: Hi! I need to warn you that I'm a major Juvia fan and I just love the way she interacts with Gajeel, so we'll have plenty of GajeelxJuvia!Friendship. And by the way, this is the 'lost' chapters of my other fanfic, 'The Baby Problem', which has GrayxJuvia as main characters. Check it out if you like the pairing, or if you just want to read a little bit more about Gajeel and Levy's relationship. Anyway, this is my first GajeelxLevy story, so please, be gentle. :)
Can you hear the wedding bells?
Chapter01 - Of Eggs, Honey and MemoryLane
The day before Gajeel realized that he wanted to marry his girlfriend, he had a nightmare. Yes, a nightmare. Not the best indicator that a person could have, but whatever works. He woke up so empty and afraid that he didn't dare sleep again. Not if he could be trapped in Nightmare Kingdom. Levy wasn't with him when he woke up, so he felt even more troubled. He got used to have her on his arms, small and pure, like he never was.
When day finally came, he left Panther Lilly training while he went to his best friend's house. He and Juvia were tight in a way few people could understand. He was metal, she was water and normally these things doesn't get along well, but it was very difficult to ignore the woman when she made it rain back in Phantom Lord, so, to not be pissed off about her water, he decided to eliminate her problems, whatever or whoever they were. That made her think that somehow he was a good person. Since then, they were friends (not that he would ever admit it).
Levy was staying with Juvia for the time being while Gray was out of town. The Ice Mage was terrified to let her alone while he was out, since she was pregnant with his child, so while he was away on a mission Levy stayed with Juvia to make sure she was alright. And Gajeel wasn't happy with it.
Sure, he understood that Juvia couldn't be alone and everything, but come on! It had to be his girlfriend? She had just arrived from a mission when Gray asked her to be there! He only spent one night with her before she needed to be with Juvia. And of course, the Water Mage said that he could stay with Levy at the guest room, but he said no so far. He wasn't a prude or anything, but that room was going to be the kid's. He just couldn't.
He knocked on the door of Juvia's apartment and waited for someone to open up. It's been almost a week since Levy was there and it was sort of their routine. He was always there in the mornings, except the three days he went on a mission. That day it was Juvia who answered.
"Good morning, Gajeel-kun." She smiled at him and let him enter her home.
"Yeah, yeah." He walked to the living room and looked around for Levy. Noticing that, Juvia answered his unsaid question.
"She's taking a shower." She giggled and starting to walk to the kitchen. "Today we're having eggs, bacon with honey and strawberry syrup on top." Juvia showed him her plate.
He made a disgusted face with the sight. The man could eat up Iron, but that... monstrosity she was currently eating was just freaking disgusting. "Just eggs and bacon for me."
"There." She pointed out to the oven, where there were indeed two pans on it. "But if you want honey…"
"I don't." He said fast.
"Your loss." She shrugged. Gajeel shook his head. He couldn't understand how Juvia could eat that. The strangest part? She seemed to enjoy it.
He looked to his friend while she ate and noticed that despite her bigger belly, she was a little too thin. The pregnant women he ever really saw were from Fairy Tail and they looked… chubbier to him. There were bags under her eyes and she was actually a little paler than usual. And that was saying something, because Juvia had the whitest skin he ever saw.
"Didn't sleep again?" Gajeel asked leaning on the wall.
"Juvia just needs to get used to the movements." She sighed. Her baby was even more active for the past week. Even other people could feel the baby kick. And frankly? He freaked out when he touched her stomach and the kid kicked his hand. It was so… alien! But at the same moment, he knew that it was incredible.
"The baby needs to get used to you, Gajeel-kun." Juvia giggled when Gajeel jumped away from her when he felt the baby. "Since you're his or her uncle." He looked at her in horror.
"I'mwhat?" He asked and his voice was a little higher on the tone than he'd want.
"You're like brother to Juvia, Gajeel-kun." She shrugged at him. "So, by logic, the baby will be your nephew or niece."
Gajeel's eyes went wide with her words. Him an uncle?
"Don't I have a say in all this?" He asked, but knew the answer already.
"No." She smiled at him.
So, since that day he was excited about the baby getting the hell out of Juvia so he could see if he or she would be tough enough so he could train him. Or her. It didn't pass through his mind that neither of the parents wanted to train their own child. Besides, Gajeel thought it was his obligation as uncle to tough up the kid. Yeah, he didn't really know that much about being an uncle.
"You need to sleep, Juvia." Gajeel said in a bored tone. "Nobody can live without good sleep."
"Juvia knows." She nodded and stared at him with analytical eyes. "What's troubling you, Gajeel-kun?"
He should've known that she would pick up that something was off about him. And if she could tell, than Levy was going to give him a look and see right through him. He hated being that transparent. He was going to answer her, when heard footsteps.
"Tell you later." He said to Juvia and turned to see Levy walking through the kitchen door. "Yo, Shrimp." He smiled evilly at her.
Her face became red with embarrassment. And because she hated that nickname. She hated being so much smaller than him and he would never let her forget their differences.
"Good morning, Gajeel." She hugged him, the thing Levy knew he hated when there was someone else on the room, and, as expected, he let her hug him for two seconds (to not be too much of a rude) and pushed her away. "Where's my kiss?"
He rolled his eyes and Juvia giggled at their routine. Every morning they teased each other like that. Knowing that they needed their own time, she started to walk away.
"Hey, Juvia." Gajeel called her and she looked over her shoulders to see him. "I need to talk to you later, okay?"
"Sure. Just let Juvia know." She smiled and left the room. Once they were finally alone, Gajeel grabbed Levy's face and gave her a good morning kiss.
Iron Dragon Slayer style.
When they finally stopped making out, Levy had the most beautiful smile on her face, while Gajeel was dazed by her. He just loved every little thing about her: the way her hair was tied up, the way her chest moved when she breathed, the way the blood rushed to her face every time they were too close, her voice, and her scent. He loved her. Plain and simple.
That's why he was so fucked up right now.
Levy, observing his face, frowned at his intense gaze at her. She knew something was up. "What is it, Gajeel?"
Her question was asked in such a soft and quiet voice that he almost missed her words. He shook his head a little to clear his thoughts. Gajeel Redfox was not a woman. He would not start throwing up a freaking rainbow just because he dated a hot chick.
"Just some business I have to take care with Juvia." He said, and well, it was true. Not the whole truth, but well…
"Okay." Levy looked at him with suspicion. Usually he would tell her everything, but there were things he only shared with specific people, like Juvia. To tell the truth, Levy used to be jealous of them. Ridiculous, she knew, but she couldn't help but think that they were weird together. A good weird, that is. She could make him laugh when he was in a bad mood, while Levy could just stare at them from afar. Of course, Juvia was head over heels for Gray, but who knows, right? What if she decided that the Dragon Slayer was her soul mate, not the Ice Mage?
But no: such realization never came. Levy began to understand that they were close friends, from a time when they only had each other to lean on. They both needed that connection and they were like brother and sister. But Levy only stopped being jealous when she had a heart to heart with the Water Mage four years before.
Juvia frowned at the blue haired woman in front of her. Levy had her eyes red with crying and her face was swollen, and for a moment Juvia had no reaction but to stare at the woman on front of her.
"Levy-san?" She asked, confused. When she opened her door she wasn't expecting the girl. Much least crying like she was.
"C-can I c-come in-n, J-Juvia?" Levy was shaking and Juvia immediately opened the door wider so she could get in.
"O-of course!" She exclaimed and the Solid Script girl stepped in the normal looking room very shyly. "Are you alright, Levy-san? Can Juvia get you anything?"
Levy could tell that the other woman was anxious, as she would be as well if a friend came over crying, god knows why.
"No, thank you." She responded. "I just need to talk with you, Juvia."
"O-okay." Juvia said and pointed to a couch and walked over there with Levy. When they were both comfortable, she looked to Levy with curious eyes. "What is it, Levy-san?"
"I want to talk to you about Gajeel." Levy bit her lower lip and hesitated a little. "Do you…?" 'Love him, not as a friend?' she thought.
"Yes?" Juvia frowned.
"Do you know if he's interested in…" 'Me', she thought. "anyone right now?"
"What you mean by interested?" Juvia asked not completely getting the other woman.
Levy sighed before answer. "Romantically interested."
Juvia's lips made an 'o' when she finally understood what she was saying. And before answer, she gave a little thought. "Well, Levy-san. Juvia can't tell you any confidences Gajeel may have made with her. Do you understand that?" Levy nodded. "But he never actually said anything about romance to Juvia."
"I see." Levy looked down for a moment and started crying all over again. She had been crying in Lucy's apartment for a long time and she was very surprised to see that she still had tears to shed.
"Levy-san." Juvia swoon closer to the petite woman and gave her a hug. "Forgive Juvia. She didn't want to make you upset."
"It's not that, Juvia." Levy sobbed. "It's just my life. The man I am in love with probably doesn't even know what romance means." She laughed a little hysterical. "I couldn't just fall in love with a guy that courted me, right? I needed to fall for a guy that calls me Shrimp and Bookworm, instead of Babe or Honey. I needed to fall for a guy that hate to read and likes to break things. I needed to fall for a guy that… that is soft inside, despite his tough outside." Levy sighed. "Why destiny hates me so much?"
"We can't choose who we love, Levy-san." Juvia patted her back in a motherly way.
"I know. But… do I even have hope?" Levy let go of Juvia's embrace. "You're his friend. What you think?"
Juvia sighed. "Gajeel-kun is… difficult to figure it out, Levy-san." She said. "The way he grew up… the people he grew up with… he was never shown much affection and only when he entered Fairy Tail that he started to build bonds and it's been two years now."
"You were his friend before you joined the guild." Levy pointed out.
Juvia giggled. "We're even more complicated than you might think." Juvia took one of Levy's hands and squeezed. "What Juvia's trying to say is that he never was romantically involved with anyone before. He couldn't recognize the feeling even if hit him right into his face. But Juvia never saw him protecting someone like he does with you."
Levy's heart stopped for a moment. "What are you saying?"
"Gajeel-kun feels something for you, Levy-san. Maybe he doesn't know what to call it and Juvia doubts he even realizes that he treats you different than anyone else." Levy's hopes went up. Gajeel liked her? "But wait, Levy-san. Gajeel-kun is very…" She searched for a word. "damaged. You can't just tell him your feelings without him knowing his own, otherwise…"
"I'll scare him off." Levy nodded in comprehension.
"Yes. There are still things that he tells no one. And he's still learning how to trust people around and…" Juvia sighed. "Juvia doesn't want Gajeel to flee because he's too scared to feel."
"I… understand." And she did. Levy knew very well that there was a lot about the Dragon Slayer that he never shared with anyone and he still had trust issues and if she started to tell him that she fell for him? The man would disappear before you say 'emotionally damaged'. "What can I do?" She asked herself, but Juvia responded.
"Be patient." She smiled sadly. "Sometimes that's all we can do."
Levy knew Juvia was saying it by experience. It's been two years since she joined the guild and her crush, Gray Fullbuster, didn't give the slightest indication that he fell for her as well. He acted around her the way he did with other girls from the guild and if Levy was feeling hopeless, Juvia's been there longer.
It was Levy's turn to squeeze Juvia's hand. "Love sucks, doesn't it?"
The Water Mage laughed. "Yes, it does."
During the next months, Levy had been talking with Gajeel more and more. He didn't seem to notice that she was paying too much attention towards him, of if he did, he never said anything. Levy planned to spend the most time she could with him, so maybe, Gajeel would finally notice her and be romantically involved.
But things went down when it came out that Gajeel was a double Agent for Master Ivan, Master Makarov's son.
Makarov wasn't around when it happened and no one seemed to know what to do. Natsu had kicked a wall with rage and Lucy was trying to calm him down. If Natsu got too fired up, he could destroy the whole guild.
Levy was in shock and Jet and Droy were around her, asking if she was okay. It became obvious to everyone but Gajeel that she was really in love with him. Her teammates didn't like her choice, but there was little they could do about it, beside look carefully at her actions. And the last thing they wanted was to the accusation be real. If it was, Levy would be devastated.
"Levy…" Jet tried, but she was lost in thoughts.
He wasn't a double agent. He couldn't be. As the months passed, she could see the real joy the Dragon Slayer had in his eyes when he was with the rest of the guild. She knew it was something deeper than being at Ivan's side. Levy looked around. Erza was having a conversation with Mirajane and Laxus and it looked serious. Natsu was saying something to Lucy, who had a hand on his forearm, probably to calm him down. Happy and Charle were trying to talk to a worried Lilly. Wendy was talking to Gray, who took glances towards Juvia, while the Water Mage was alone, looking outside with a serene expression.
Levy got up and offered Jet and Droy a look that clearly said that she wanted to be alone. She walked to Juvia's side and the woman didn't even stir with the other girl presence.
"Did he ever say anything about this for you?" Levy asked and people stopped their conversations to look at them. Everyone realized that if anyone knew what the hell was happening, that person was either Juvia or Lilly. And since the cat looked like everything he knew once was a lie, he probably wasn't aware of anything.
But Juvia was too cool about the whole situation.
"Did he?" Natsu asked looking to Juvia.
"No." She didn't move from her spot.
"And why the hell are you so calm about this?" He asked and Juvia looked at him.
"Juvia's waiting all the clouded thoughts to go away." She stated calmly.
"What?" Natsu stepped towards her.
"It's been almost three years." Juvia returned to look outside. "Don't you really know what Gajeel-kun is?"
Natsu stared at the woman and shook his head. "Of course. He is our nakama. I was asking if you knew where he is." Juvia smiled a little. "The hell if I'll let that bastard get a Fairy Tail Mage and get away with it." Natsu walked over to Laxus. "Your father is a true pain in the ass."
"Tell me about it." Laxus responded rolling his eyes.
"Any idea of where he's hiding?" The Salamander asked.
"Yes." Laxus offered him a smile. "Shall we go there and kick his sorry ass?"
"Hell yeah!" Natsu said and fire came out of him. "I'm all fired up."
Levy looked to Juvia in confusion. The woman just offered her a small smile. "Everyone gets a little indecisive when caught in surprise. With a little time, the thoughts clear up and the uncertainty goes away." She pointed to the people of the guild, who were talking about who would go to rescue Gajeel. "Shall we go too, Levy-san?"
Levy wanted to be that calm when such an emergency was happening, but when she looked to Juvia's hands, she noticed that they were shaking and despite her unexpressive face, her eyes betrayed her. She was deeply concerned about her friend. Levy caught her hand.
"He'll be fine." She said to Juvia and mostly to herself.
"Of course he will." The Water Mage nodded and they both stared into each other eyes for a moment.
In different ways, he was important to them. For Juvia, he was her brother and friend; and for Levy, he was the man she was madly, uncontrollable in love with. And they would fight for him.
They split up once they reached Ivan's hideout and fought his underlings and when the fight was over and they met up, they saw Gajeel.
There was so much blood.
Levy could only tell that he was once the proud Dragon Slayer because of his long hair and the Fairy Tail mark on his arm. His piercings were gone and honestly? It didn't seem like he would survive the injuries.
"Gajeel." Levy sat beside the man, and tried to touch him, but had no idea if she could; if he could feel pain if she touched him. And the least thing Gajeel needed was more pain. She looked to Wendy, who was sitting beside him. "Is he going to be alright?"
"I… did everything that I could." Wendy's voice cracked with emotion. "It's up to him now."
Carefully Levy reached his hand and brought it closer to her face and kissed the knuckles, in a soft way and whispered. "Come back to me, Gajeel. Please."
After moving the Dragon Slayer to the Hospital, all the Fairy Tail mages were at the hall, very quiet. Everyone that had injuries was already treated. The only one that needed to wake up now was Gajeel.
"Why the hell did he do it?" Droy asked quietly to his teammates. "If he was a spy for master, why didn't he tell us?"
"A spy needs to be quiet about it, moron." Jet rolled his eyes.
"Let's just wait, okay?" Levy said and looked around the room. Erza was looking troubled, probably thinking why she didn't saw it coming; Natsu was looking like he wanted to punch someone; while Lucy was holding his hand and looking like she wanted to hug him, but contained herself. Wendy was hugging Charle and Happy was patting Lilly on the back, very lightly. Gray was talking quietly with Juvia in a corner. Levy couldn't see his face, but the Water Mage was with her arms around her, looking very troubled with whatever he was saying. She mumbled some words to him and his shoulders dropped, while she walked away from him.
When Juvia was passing by her side, Levy grabbed her hand and without saying a word, Juvia squeezed her way in between Levy and Jet. The Water Mage put an arm around Levy and the girl returned the affection by hugging her. They needed each other at that moment.
A couple of hours had passed since the doctors admitted Gajeel when his doctor finally came with news. Everyone got up when the doctor entered the room. The man sighed.
"His injuries were much extended, but he'll be alright." All of the mages sighed in relief. "We'll keep him here for a few days and he can go home later. Someone will contact you when he wakes up."
"Thank you, doctor." The all murmured and he was leaving, when stopped.
"Oh, by the way…" The doctor turned around to look at them. "He was under very powerful drugs back there, but he kept asking me to tell… Bookworm that he was not going anywhere?" The man frowned. "Does that mean anything to you?" Every eye turned to Levy and she blushes all shades of red with those words. The doctor smiled to her. "Oh, the girlfriend, of course. Well, I fulfilled my duty."
Jet and Droy tried to tell the man that Gajeel was not Levy's boyfriend, but he just waved a hand and went back to his work. Juvia hugged Levy and whispered to her.
"Juvia told you he liked you."
"Yes, you did." Levy smiled to the woman and it disappeared. "For a moment there, I thought that he wouldn't survive."
Juvia's eyes started to water when she shook her head. "He did and he's not going anywhere."
The moment a nurse appeared at the hall, telling that Gajeel was up, everyone knew that the person that needed to be see him first was Levy. When he was drugged, he was asking for her.
Levy walked inside the room and saw him lying at the hospital bed. He had bandages all over his torso, head, arms and if she could see his legs, she would see bandages there as well. He had his eyes closed but she knew he was awake because his nurse told her.
She knew that he was one of the strongest mages in Fairy Tail, but at that moment, he looked so defenseless and small; like Levy knew he wasn't.
"Gajeel?" She said; barely a whisper.
"Yeah?" He didn't even bother to open his eyes to talk to her.
"How are you feeling?" She sat at the chair that was beside his bed. Levy saw him smirk a little.
"What do you think?" Gajeel responded and Levy face palmed herself mentally. Of course he would be feeling crappy after all he been through.
"Sorry. I didn't mean to…" She said fast. "I was just…"
"It's alright, Levy." He opened his eyes to look at her.
Levy loved his eyes. They were red, like blood and she was once afraid of them but when she started to see the other side of the man, she leaned to like them. He was such a barbaric man when he wanted, but the way he was looking to her at that moment, was anything but threatening. Gajeel was looking at her with obvious kindness.
"You barely call me by name." She offered him a small smile. "It's usually Shrimp or Bookworm."
"Well, I heard that I got hit in the head." He shrugged. "I'm not thinking straight right now. I hope I don't get permanent brain damage."
"Some people might say that you already have."
"Well, tell Natsu that he's not the smartest cookie on the package either." He sounded offended and she giggled. She reached his hand and started to play with his fingers. "All five of them are still there, you know?"
"Thank god." She kissed his hand and saw him shudder. With his hand still close to her face, she looked at him. "Don't scare me like that anymore." He had no reaction for a moment.
"Oh, please." He rolled his eyes. "Like I've never been worse in my life."
She knew he wasn't. She knew that Gajeel have never been as close to death as he was that day. And it scared her to know that he was strong, sure. But he was not immortal. He could die anytime and she would've never said to him how she felt. She was probably going to be rejected at that moment, but she needed to say to him.
"Gajeel, I…" She started and at the same moment he started to say something as well.
"I'm leaving the guild."
AN: Holy cow! 7 pages later and I didn't even get to the middle? I need to split it up, people. I guess that one more chapter should do? I don't know. The ideas just pops when I write, so, no idea of how many chapters, but it won't be more than three. Well, that is if I have good feedback. If people don't like it, why continue, right? Anyway, tell me what you think! I promise I'll be alright if you tell me how much I suck. Well, I won't. So don't. ;O Kidding. Just tell me your opinion. :D
Ps: English's not my first language, I'm from Brazil and we speak Portuguese, so if you want, point it out my mistakes kindly and I'll fix them.
